Move / backup Netbeans FTP profiles

The path on Windows would be: user\.netbeans\6.7\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\php\project\RemoteConnections

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
