1) The passphrase is never stored anywhere. 
2) You have to copy the key files too.

note: i am trying to port over the winscp app from one to another computer

but all i get is an error... 
loginprotocoll:_see sessionprotocol for  Details):
Unable to use key file "E:\_data__export\filezilla_\filezilla_pass_file" (unable to open file)
Verwende Benutzername "vhost".

                hello Martin 
many thanks - i did it - and i was successful 
btw: the passphrase is not coming with the credentials - the ini-data!?
in other words: i have to type the passphrase in the login - window!?
