I assume you mean "copy both the *saved* display filters and the *saved*
capture filters".
If so, then you need to copy the "cfilters" and "dfilters" files in the
Ethereal preference directory. The Ethereal man page at
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/ethereal.1.html
says, when describing the "Save" button in the dialog boxes for editing
the capture filters and the display filters:
Saves the current filter list in $HOME/.ethereal/cfilters on
UNIX-compatible systems, and %APPDATA%\Ethereal\cfilters (or, if
%APPDATA% isn't defined, %USERPROFILE%\Application
Data\Ethereal\cfilters) on Windows systems, if the list of filters
being edited is the list of capture filters, or in
$HOME/.ethereal/dfilters on UNIX-compatible systems, and
%APPDATA%\Ethereal\dfilters (or, if %APPDATA% isn't defined,
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Ethereal\dfilters) on Windows systems,
if the list of filters being edited is the list of display filters.
which says where the cfilters and dfilters files are located.
