Transfer History Info?

Hi, how can I transfer the information of the different accounts that I accessed in my history from one machine to another? Thanks for any help.

The history is basically a list of links to favorites. No site/host information is saved in the history itself. If your intentions are to copy the site/host information you have to copy the favorites. Otherwise you would have to export some parts of the registry under the SmartFTP key and import it on your other computer.

Can some tell me what parts of the registry are the history?please?

Hello ..

You can find it at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\Settings\History

To transfer the History from one to another computer. Just export the key and import it on the other computer. However this only works if you share the same favorites in both computers.

that is not a real history... that is only a setting for the max items and it is enabled...

but when it is the same as the favorites... where are they saved?

thank you for your fast reply

Hello ..

The registry key posted in my reply is the history. Did you look in the sub keys? You may want to read the answers in this thread and the knowledge base for better understanding of the concept.

ok, so the history is safed on
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\SmartFTP\Client 2.0\history.dat

is there a way to explore that file?

Hello ..

In version 2.0 the history was saved in the history.dat. In newer versions it was saved in the location explained in my previous posts. You can import the history.dat from 2.x in version 2.5. To do this go to the menu: Favorites -> Edit Favorites. In the new window click on the menu: Tools -> Import and select History from SmartFTP 2.x.
