# Exporting and Importing Single Profiles

You can export and import individual profiles. This makes is easy to share your profiles with another person.

## Export Location

When you export a single profile, the resulting file is saved in your Documents folder within a folder called PubAssist FTP Profiles. Ex. C:\Users\<username\Documents\PubAssist FTP Profiles

## File Association and Double-Clicking

Exported profile files have an extension of .pax (PubAssist FTP XML file). This extension is registered in the Windows registry and associated with PubAssist FTP. This means double-clicking the file itself will automatically open PubAssist FTP and import the profile data.
Note: Did you receive a profile attached to an email? Opening the file from Outlook will have the same effect as opening it locally; it will automatically open PubAssist FTP and import the profile data.
