The Configuration Folder

---

This topic contains information about the folder that SecureCRT will use to store and load the initialization files containing the settings for global and session [A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.] options.

Changing the Configuration Folder

To change the configuration folder, complete the following steps:

1.   Start SecureCRT.

2.   Open the Options menu and click on Global Options... to open the Global Options dialog.

3.   Click on the General/Configuration Paths category.

4.   In the Configuration folder entry box, enter the path to the desired configuration folder.

5.   Click on the OK button to exit the Global Options dialog and restart SecureCRT to instate the change of folders.

Note: Changes to the configuration folder will not take effect until SecureCRT is restarted.

Specifying a Configuration Folder from the Command Line

The command-line option /F folder allows you to specify an alternate configuration folder when you start SecureCRT from the command line. When SecureCRT is started with the /F option, the specified folder will override the default setting for the current instance of SecureCRT. Each instance of SecureCRT can use a different configuration folder.

To specify a configuration folder from the command line, enter the following command:

SecureCRT /F folder

Note: If the folder pathname contains spaces, you must enclose the argument inside quotation marks.
