FTP file extension
The FTP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FTP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FTP file on each system platform.
What is FTP file?
The FTP file has been categorized as Settings Files. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. FTP Configuration appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is FTP Voyager. This was created by Rhino Software, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use FlashFXP in case FTP Voyager cannot be used.
How to open FTP file?
The main problem with FTP Configuration is that the FTP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FTP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTP 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 FTP Voyager
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FTP Voyager is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FTP Voyager into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FTP files.
Programs to open FTP file
Remember to download programs supporting FTP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FTP Voyager with FTP files
If, despite the installed application, the FTP file does not start in the FTP Voyager application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FTP Voyager application as the default for handling the FTP file.
Step 3. Update FTP Voyager to the latest version
If, however, after binding FTP Voyager with FTP 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 Rhino Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FTP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FTP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FTP file. Sometimes virus-infected FTP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FTP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FTP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FTP 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. Copying the FTP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
