Where Does EF Commander Store Settings?
EF Commander keeps settings in AppData on installed builds, or INI files beside the exe portable.
Last updated
EF Commander follows the dual mode pattern. Installed builds write layouts, favorites, and tool configs to the AppData tree. Portable builds keep INI files next to the executable for USB carry.
Back up the matching set with the app closed. Exact filenames shifted across EF Commander generations, so copy the tree whole rather than single files. FTP accounts may need passwords retyped after moves.
Where EF Commander stores this, by platform
%AppData%\EFCommander (installed builds)
Settings and layouts tree. Exact names vary by release, so copy whole. Portable mode uses INI files beside the exe instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate EF Commander?
Copy the AppData tree for installed builds or the portable folder for USB builds. Match modes on both ends or settings land nowhere.
Does EF Commander use the registry?
Mostly for install bookkeeping. Daily settings live in the files above. Registry cleaners rarely break a working setup.
