Operators commonly keep the file in home and start Direwolf from there. That habit makes moves one copy. Sound names vary per machine, so audio lines need per host fixes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Direwolf settings?
Copy direwolf.conf to the launch folder on the new machine. Audio device, channel settings and beacon text travel with it. Sound card names differ per host, so fix the audio lines before transmitting.
Where do I set the sound card?
In the config file with ADEVICE lines naming capture and playback plus channel blocks for baud and slots. Each channel pairs one radio path with its modem. Test with receive only before enabling beacons.
