How to export and import SecureCRT Sessions
October 10, 2018
If you are like me who is heavily leveraging SSH terminal such as SecureCRT you are probably utilizing Session Manager.
This feature will allow you to customize your sessions with things such as username, password, log to file, logon actions and many more.
Since you put all this work into this you may wonder if you could either back this up (export) or can you mirror the configuration to another device that is also running SecureCRT software (import).
If you haven’t changed the default installation directory you can find the Session folder following this:
MAC OS:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/VanDyke/SecureCRT/Config/Sessions
WIN OS:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions
Copy the folder (Sessions – including .ini) from the source, back it up and paste it under the destination directory structure.
You are done. Your sessions should be visible within your second SecureCRT application.
Let me know if it worked for you.
Thanks,
Bart

Files are “.ini” and you can locate them by following this string > C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions
