Where Does MobaXterm Store Sessions?
MobaXterm sessions and settings in MobaXterm.ini, located by edition: exe folder for portable, Documents for installed.
Last updated
MobaXterm keeps sessions and settings in a single MobaXterm.ini file. Portable editions store it next to the executable; installed editions use Documents\MobaXterm.
Edition determines location, which confuses switchers. Check both spots when sessions seem to vanish after changing editions.
