Are you referring to a "location" directory? If so, then you can
safely transfer the directory to another machine of the same
architecture.

For machines of differing architectures, the situation isn't so clear
cut. Any ASCII files (WIND, cell_hd, colr, sites etc) are portable, as
are the cell files. I don't know about vector files. Some modules may
create additional files using their own private format, and some of
these aren't portable (e.g. the raw FFT output from i.fft).
