Where Does SpeedCommander Store Settings?
SpeedCommander keeps settings in AppData on installed builds, or in an INI beside the exe portable.
Last updated
SpeedCommander follows the dual mode pattern of its peers. Installed builds write settings, layouts, and FTP accounts to the AppData tree. Portable builds keep an INI and companion files next to the executable for USB carry.
Back up the matching set with the app closed. FTP passwords may store separately per security options, so keep those credentials in a password manager too. Exact filenames shifted across versions, hence whole folder copy.
Where SpeedCommander stores this, by platform
%AppData%\SpeedCommander (installed builds)
Settings, layouts, and tools config. Filenames vary by release, so copy the tree whole. Portable mode uses INI beside the exe instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate SpeedCommander?
Copy the AppData tree for installed builds or the portable folder for USB builds. Match modes on both ends. Re-enter FTP passwords if they were stored protected.
Portable or installed, which keeps settings safer?
Both work when backed up. Portable suits multi PC carry since settings travel with the stick. Installed suits single machines with system backup.
