How to open FFS_REAL file?
The main problem with FreeFileSync Configuration is that the FFS_REAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FFS_REAL 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_REAL 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
In this case, you should first verify that the FreeFileSync application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FreeFileSync 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 FFS_REAL.
Programs to open FFS_REAL file
Remember to download programs supporting FFS_REAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FreeFileSync with FFS_REAL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FFS_REAL 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FFS_REAL file with the FreeFileSync program.
Step 3. Update FreeFileSync to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FreeFileSync program, it is possible that FreeFileSync Configuration requires a newer version of the program. 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_REAL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FFS_REAL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. 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 FFS_REAL file. However, remember that not every infected FFS_REAL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FFS_REAL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FFS_REAL 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FFS_REAL 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FFS_REAL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FFS_REAL file again. 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.
