O FileZilla é o cliente FTP que utilizo. É gratuito e de código aberto. Como fazer o backup das configurações?

Todas as configurações são armazenadas em arquivos XML. A forma mais simples de fazer a cópia das informações é utilizando o menu Arquivo | Exportar.

É possível fazer o backup diramente na pasta de configuração, o problema é que a localização da pasta varia conforme o sistema operacional:

If you’ve chosen to use the .xml file instead of the registry, all your settings and sites are located in the filezilla.xml file which is in the same directory as FileZilla. Note: If installed on Windows Vista: The FileZilla.xml file is no longer located in the same directory as the install. Instead Windows Vista places it in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\FileZilla. Please take note of that to avoid frustration in restoring sites from another or previous computer. You could just backup that file to export and copy it back to the FileZilla folder to import(overwriting all previous settings and sites). If you’ve chosen to use the registry or you would like to export/import only settings or sites, you could go “Edit -> Export settings” to export your settings, and then in Site Manager go “File -> Export” to export your sites. Notice there’s also import functions here so use them to import the settings back (1)
