What is FFS_BATCH file?
The FFS_BATCH file has been categorized as Settings Files. The author of this format is SourceForge.net. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. FreeFileSync Configuration is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is FreeFileSync. This was created by SourceForge.net.
How to open FFS_BATCH file?
The main problem with FreeFileSync Configuration is that the FFS_BATCH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FFS_BATCH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFS_BATCH 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 FreeFileSync
The first step is to check if the computer has the FreeFileSync program installed. This can be achieved by typing FreeFileSync into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FFS_BATCH with FreeFileSync. Below is a list of programs that support the file FFS_BATCH.
Programs to open FFS_BATCH file
Remember to download programs supporting FFS_BATCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FreeFileSync with FFS_BATCH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FFS_BATCH file to open in the FreeFileSync application, but you can set it manually. 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 FFS_BATCH file with the FreeFileSync application.
Step 3. Update FreeFileSync to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FreeFileSync program with the FreeFileSync Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFS_BATCH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FFS_BATCH file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FFS_BATCH file. Sometimes virus-infected FFS_BATCH 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 FFS_BATCH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FFS_BATCH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SourceForge.net, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FFS_BATCH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FFS_BATCH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FFS_BATCH 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 FFS_BATCH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FFS_BATCH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
