I wondered about this, and your suggestion prompted me to try it. Sadly, it didn't work: Liferea simply didn't open (despite seeming to spend a short while thinking about starting). And the 'rsync' method recommended by John and Stuart hasn't worked for me either. I suspect the cause of my difficulties may at least in part be that my NAS drive is formatted FAT32, and therefore does not transfer ownerships and permissions; and, worse yet, I have a different user name on the household's main desktop from the one I use on my laptop and my other machines. All in all, I think I'm pushing it a bit to hope Liferea wouldn't mind this level of scrambling! So when I tried to rsync the profile from the network to my laptop, I wasn't all that surprised that I'd lost the folder structure, and many of the feeds seemed to be missing. As I said in an earlier post, my experience of running Thunderbird on all of my computers from a profile on the NAS led me to hope I could get Liferea to do the same; but I guess Liferea may be a bit more fussy, and my set up isn't conducive to a simple work around. :-( I may do some experiments with a usb drive formatted ext3; but I think I'll leave things as they are for now.
