How do you keep all your pre-saved FTP settings when new device?

Not that I'm doing this yet, just thinking ahead if I did:

When / if I need to buy a new workstation; after I install my fully-licensed WB on it, how do I carry-over the currently-existing FTP connections that I have saved for all of my projects from within my "Publish" dialogue box? Like, my various projects and to-where they publish whenever I open their respective .WBS file and need to publish? How can I get all of them onto a new installation of WB 21 on a new device?

Theoretically, does navigating to the System folder wherever it's installed on the first system; like for example:

Documents >> WYSIWYG Web Builder

and copying its contents over to its exact same spot on the new device after it is installed grabs all of the saved FTP connections? Or is / are there some other step(s) that need to be done in order to do that?

Thanks, Pablo; forgot it was publish.dat where all that is conclusively held. Thank you! WYSIWYG Web Builder is THE BEST :D :D :D !
