To backup your BFTP Client, we would suggest first backing up your Site Manager so that all your FTP server credentials (logins, passwords, etc.) are maintained.

Back Up Your Bookmarks

Simply back up a copy of the folder called 'Sites' in your FTP directory.

  • the default location for older versions is here:
    C:\Program Files\BPFTP\Sites\
  • the new client location is here:
    C:\Program Files\BulletProof FTP Client v2.5\sites\

Backup Session Files

Next, backup any *.BPS files stored in the BPFTP folder.

  • the default location for older versions is here:
    C:\Program Files\BPFTP\
  • the new client location is here:
    C:\Program Files\BulletProof FTP Client v2.5\

After backing up these files, you will be able to copy them back into the correct locations once you reinstall.

Backup Registration Code

Lastly, you'll want to back-up your registration code using the Windows Registry Editor:

  • Start -> Run -> "regedit.exe" <enter>
  • Double-Click into "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software"
  • Right-Click on the folder that says "BPFTP" and select "Export"
  • Enter a name for the file that you want to contain the exported registry key
  • Take this file to the new computer using a network share, floppy, cdrom, usb stick
  • Double-Click on the exported file on the new computer
  • This will prompt a warning asking you to be "... are you sure you want to import?"

The registry information will now be on the new computer and the trial version will automatically see this and turn itself into the full-version!
