Where Are Remmina Profiles Stored?
Remmina stores connection profiles as individual files in the user local share directory on Linux. Main preferences are stored separately under the user config directory.
Last updated
Each saved connection is a text file with a .remmina extension. The folder also holds group and credential related data for that user.
Remmina follows XDG locations. System wide files are not used for normal user connections.
Where Remmina stores this, by platform
/home/<user>/.local/share/remmina
<user> is the Linux login name. Each connection is a <name>.remmina file. Back up the whole folder to keep all connections and groups.
/home/<user>/.config/remmina/remmina.pref
<user> is the Linux login name. This file holds global preferences for the Remmina client. Connection passwords may live in a keyring instead of in plain files.
Frequently asked questions
Which files do I copy to migrate connections?
Copy all .remmina files from the local share remmina folder to the same folder on the new system. Keep file permissions user readable only.
Why is a password missing after restore?
Secrets can be stored in GNOME Keyring or another secret service. Export or reenter credentials on the new host if the keyring was not migrated.
