The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DUCK 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 Cyberduck
In this case, you should first verify that the Cyberduck application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cyberduck in it.

Programs to open DUCK file
Remember to download programs supporting DUCK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cyberduck with DUCK files
If, despite the installed application, the DUCK file does not start in the Cyberduck application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cyberduck application as the default for handling the DUCK file.
Step 3. Update Cyberduck to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cyberduck with Cyberduck Bookmark there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the cyberduck.ch website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DUCK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DUCK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DUCK file. Sometimes virus-infected DUCK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DUCK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DUCK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cyberduck help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DUCK 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DUCK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DUCK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DUCK file again. However, some background programs may block the DUCK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
