Configuration Storage

WinSCP can store its configuration both to Windows registry and INI file. When installed, the configuration is stored by default into the registry. Portable versions use by default an INI file (if possible). To switch the storage see Storage tab of Preferences window.

Removing Configuration

You can clean up all configuration data stored on your machine.

Transferring or Backing up the Configuration

You can export your configuration into an INI file using Export button on Preferences dialog. To import the configuration on another location, copy the INI file into the same directory, where WinSCP is installed. You can then change the storage to make WinSCP import the settings from an INI file to the registry.

Registry Key

If you use registry as configuration storage, the configuration is stored under following key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2]

Sie sollten die Einstellungen ab WinSCP v.4.x.x in die WinSCP.ini speichern. Diese Datei einfach per Windows Suche aufspüren und eine Kopie speichern. Bei einer erneuten Installation, wähle Sie in WinSCP wieder die Option, speichern als *.ini Datei. Windows suche anschließend die Datei suchen lassen ( sollte in /Benutzer/* Verzeichnis liegen ) udn mit der gesicherten Datei austauschen - fertig.
