Copy or export Remmina remote desktop files to another Ubuntu install

The files you need should be either in ~/.remmina (the hidden .remmina folder in your home directory) or in ~/.local/share/remmina (for newer versions).

For SSH, the known hosts are stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts..

All your user settings, preferences, etc for your user are stored in your home directory, as that is the only folder you by default have permissions to access.

Installed remmina on Ubuntu 16.04 and had to reinstall Ubuntu after a while because it wasn't running the best. On my first install the location of all the remmina connection files was /home/gm/.local/share/remmina/ folder.

After I reinstalled my new setup of Ubuntu put all the connection files in the same location /home/gm/.local/share/remmina/ and started up remmina I had no connection. After reading this post I created a new connection and seen a new folder created under /home/gm/.remmina/ with that connection, so I copied all my connections into that folder /home/gm/.remmina/.

sudo cp -r /home/gm/.local/share/remmina/* /home/gm/.remmina/

I am just backing up @Wilf

Hope this helps others!
