Move / backup Netbeans FTP profiles

Question

Trying to figure out how to transfer / back remote connections in netbeans. I have over 100 that I would like to move to a backup computer. Recreating every one of them would be extremely time intensive. I cannot find any way to export the remote profiles and I haven't been able to find the profiles in the .netbeans directory on the local computer.

Is there a file, or any method that would allow moving or backing up the FTP profiles.

Answer 1

The location changed in Netbeans 7.2. The path is the same except AppData\Roaming instead of AppData\Local.

If you are setting up a new windows machine to run Netbeans, you need to first create a dummy remote ftp connection so Netbeans will create the last folder in this file path. Place the .properties files here and then restart Netbeans.

C:\Users\[windowsUsername]\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.2.1\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\php\project\RemoteConnections
