What is FFS_GUI file?
The file with the extension FFS_GUI is the Settings Files file type. The author of this format is SourceForge.net. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other 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_GUI file?
The most common problem when using FreeFileSync Configuration is that a specific FFS_GUI is not associated with the program. This causes the file FFS_GUI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFS_GUI 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_GUI with FreeFileSync. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FFS_GUI files.
Programs to open FFS_GUI file
Remember to download programs supporting FFS_GUI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FreeFileSync with FFS_GUI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FFS_GUI file still does not use the FreeFileSync program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FFS_GUI file with the FreeFileSync application.
Step 3. Update FreeFileSync to the latest version
If, however, after binding FreeFileSync with FreeFileSync Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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_GUI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FFS_GUI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FFS_GUI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FFS_GUI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FFS_GUI 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FFS_GUI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SourceForge.net help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FFS_GUI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FFS_GUI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FFS_GUI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
