Specifying the
Configuration Folder
This topic explains how to specify the folder SecureCRT will use to store and load the initialization files containing the settings for global and session options.
If this is the first time you have installed SecureCRT
If this is the first installation of SecureCRT on your system, the Browse for Folder dialog will appear when SecureCRT is run for the first time after installation. In the Browse for Folder dialog, select the folder in which you would like to store the settings for global and session options and then click on the OK button.
Changing the Configuration Folder
To change the configuration folder, complete the following steps:
1. Start SecureCRT.
2. Open the Options menu and click on Global Options... to open the Global Options dialog.
3. Click on the General/Configuration Paths category.
4. In the Configuration folder entry box, enter the path to the desired configuration folder.
5. Click on the OK button to exit the Global Options dialog and restart SecureCRT to instate the change of folders.
Note: Changes to the configuration folder will not take effect until SecureCRT is restarted.
Specifying a Configuration Folder from the Command Line
The command-line option /F
folder
allows you to specify an alternate configuration folder when you start
SecureCRT from the command line. When SecureCRT
is started with the /F
option, the specified folder will
override the default setting for the current instance of SecureCRT.
Each instance of SecureCRT can use a different configuration
folder.
To specify a configuration folder from the command line, enter the following command:
SecureCRT
/F
folder
Note: If the folder pathname contains spaces, you must enclose the argument inside quotation marks.
