The IRIX application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Silicon Graphics, Inc..
How to open FTR file?
An often recurring problem with IRIX is that FTR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FTR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTR 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 IRIX
The first step is to check if the computer has the IRIX program installed. To do this, enter the name IRIX into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FTR with IRIX. Below is a list of programs that support the file FTR.
Programs to open FTR file
Remember to download programs supporting FTR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IRIX with FTR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTR file still does not use the IRIX program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FTR file with the IRIX application.
Step 3. Update IRIX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IRIX program with the IRIX file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Silicon Graphics, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FTR 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FTR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FTR 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 FTR file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged FTR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Silicon Graphics, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FTR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FTR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FTR 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 FTR to close. However, some background programs may block the FTR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
