Easiest way to migrate a bunch of Bookmarks from one Mac to another?
« on: July 07, 2011, 12:03:05 PM »

I'm getting a new Mac, and need to migrate a bunch of bookmarks from Yummy FTP on the old machine to Yummy FTP on the new machine.

What's the easiest way to do this?  I don't see an "Export" option, and I understand that passwords by default are stored in the system Keychain?

Thanks!
Joe

Hey Joe,

Yummy Bookmarks are actual files located in your Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Yummy FTP/Bookmarks folder and you can just move them to your new mac.

You can also export your keychain and import it into your new one.

If you don't want to do all that, you can import your entire users folder using the Mac Migration Assistant.

The FAQ section of the website describes the necessary steps.

Hey, thanks for the replies! 

Do I need to worry about Keychain, or will the passwords come across in one of those directories?

If I do need the Keychain data, how do I export it?  When I open the Keychain Access utility, the "Export Items..." menu item is always grayed out no matter what I have selected.

The passwords are in the Keychain only.

If you read the FAQ it explains how to transfer your Keychain file across.
