How do I move my AbsoluteFTP^® session database to a different machine?

The following steps describe how to migrate your AbsoluteFTP session database to another machine.

1. Install AbsoluteFTP on the new machine.
2. Find the location of the session database on the old machine. To do this, start AbsoluteFTP, open the "Options" menu and select "Session Database Location...". The session database location will be highlighted in the "Select the session database directory" window.
3. Copy AbsoluteFTP.dat and AbsoluteFTP.idx from the session database folder to the new machine.
   
   Under Windows XP/2000, the default location is:
   C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\VanDyke\AbsoluteFTP
   
   Under Windows Me/98/NT/95, the default location is:
   C:\Program Files\AbsoluteFTP
4. Run AbsoluteFTP on the new machine. If AbsoluteFTP does not find the session database, open the "Options" menu and select "Session Database Location...". Select the correct location for the session database. When you restart AbsoluteFTP, it should use the migrated session database.
