Can't open the DFTI file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open DFTI files as well as a list of programs that support DFTI files.

The DFTI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DFTI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DFTI file on each system platform.
What is DFTI file?
The DFTI file has been categorized as Text Files. Text Files consists of 440 similar files. FlexiWrite Document Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS. It is recommended to use FlexiWrite to handle this file. This is a program created by Samuel Green.
How to open DFTI file?
The most common problem when using FlexiWrite Document Format is that a specific DFTI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DFTI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DFTI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FlexiWrite
In this case, you should first verify that the FlexiWrite application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FlexiWrite in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DFTI.
Programs to open DFTI file
Remember to download programs supporting DFTI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlexiWrite with DFTI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DFTI file still does not use the FlexiWrite program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DFTI file with the FlexiWrite application.
Step 3. Update FlexiWrite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlexiWrite program with the FlexiWrite Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Samuel Green website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFTI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DFTI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DFTI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DFTI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DFTI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DFTI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DFTI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DFTI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
