Where Does MobaXterm Store Sessions?
MobaXterm sessions live in one ini file, whose home depends on installer, portable or custom mode.
Last updated
MobaXterm stores every session and setting in a single MobaXterm.ini, with sessions under [Bookmarks] sections. The installer build keeps it in Documents\MobaXterm, while the portable build keeps it next to MobaXterm.exe so the pair migrates together.
Older installs may use %APPDATA%\MobaXterm instead, so check both if the Documents copy looks stale. Launching with the -i flag forces any path you like, which teams use for shared network hosted configs. Full migration uses the built in .mobaconf export; session sharing alone uses .mxtsessions files.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move MobaXterm to a new PC?
Use the built in export to a .mobaconf file and import it on the new machine. Copying MobaXterm.ini by hand also works when both installs run the same version.
How do I share sessions with my team?
Export a .mxtsessions file for session sharing, or launch everyone with -i pointed at a shared network config for a single live source. Full personal migration uses .mobaconf instead.
