Programs to open FTPCONFIG file

Remember to download programs supporting FTPCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Atom with FTPCONFIG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FTPCONFIG file to open in the Atom 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 FTPCONFIG file with the Atom application.

Step 3. Update Atom to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Atom program, it is possible that Remote-ftp For Atom Configuration Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTPCONFIG 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 FTPCONFIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FTPCONFIG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FTPCONFIG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FTPCONFIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FTPCONFIG 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FTPCONFIG files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FTPCONFIG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move FTPCONFIG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FTPCONFIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FTPCONFIG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTPCONFIG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
