Where are the "Connect to Server" history and favorites stored in OS X? Image
Hopefully they are in a pList file somewhere as I'd like to sync them between computers using Dropbox.

They are in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist in the favoriteservers dictionary.

nice. how can I import / export just that dictionary from the command line? – cwd Sep 4 '12 at 16:05
Read via : defaults read com.apple.sidebarlists favoriteservers. change read to write to write, but you have to have a dictionary to write to the plist. If you just want to add one item, you can use defaults write com.apple.sidebarlists dict-add key, value – camflan Sep 4 '12 at 16:08
