How to open FTPLOC file?
The most common problem when using FTP Location is that a specific FTPLOC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FTPLOC 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 FTPLOC 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 Apple Finder
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple Finder program installed. This can be achieved by typing Apple Finder 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 FTPLOC files.
Programs to open FTPLOC file
Remember to download programs supporting FTPLOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Finder with FTPLOC files
If, despite the installed application, the FTPLOC file does not start in the Apple Finder application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 FTPLOC file with the Apple Finder program.
Step 3. Update Apple Finder to the latest version
If, however, after binding Apple Finder with FTP Location there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTPLOC 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 FTPLOC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FTPLOC 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 FTPLOC file. However, remember that not every infected FTPLOC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FTPLOC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FTPLOC file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FTPLOC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FTPLOC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FTPLOC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FTPLOC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTPLOC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
