Where Does Total Commander Store Settings?
Total Commander keeps wincmd.ini either beside the exe or in AppData, chosen at install time and movable after.
Last updated
Total Commander stores nearly everything in INI files, with location decided during setup. Portable installs keep them beside the executable while standard installs use AppData Roaming.
Both layouts migrate by copying files. The main INI references FTP passwords and plugin paths, so moving machines means moving the whole set together rather than cherry picking.
Where Total Commander stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\GHISLER\wincmd.ini
Standard install settings with wcx_ftp.ini for FTP beside it. Portable installs keep both next to totalcmd64.exe. Copy the pair to migrate everything.
Frequently asked questions
how do i move total commander settings to a new pc
Copy wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini from the old location into the matching path on the new machine. Plugin paths inside may need relinking if drive letters changed.
where are total commander ftp passwords stored
In wcx_ftp.ini beside the main config, lightly obfuscated rather than encrypted. Treat backups of it like any password file.
