Hello,
I was forced to do a full re-installation of my laptop. During the process I lost my FTP address book. I did manage to make a full backup of my old laptop ( I do that on a regular basis), and have access to all my original files.
Problem is that I do not have a recent export file of my FTP addressbook.
Can I copy the addressbook from my last system backup? If so, where can I find the FTP addressbook files?
Thanks for the asssistance.

These two files have your FTP Address Book and default settings.
Before copying any config files manually, I recommend [fully exiting Opus (via File / Exit Directory Opus)](https://resource.dopus.com/t/how-to-exit-directory-opus/3479) and then copying them using Explorer.
- C:\Users<username\>\AppData\Roaming\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\ConfigFiles\
- ftp.oxc
- ftpdef.oxc

Thanks!
That solved my problem.
