What is FTS file?

How to open FTS file?
The main problem with Flexible Image Transport System Format is that the FTS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FTS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTS 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 FITS Viewer
In this case, you should first verify that the FITS Viewer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FITS Viewer into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FTS.
Programs to open FTS file
Remember to download programs supporting FTS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FITS Viewer with FTS files
If, despite the installed application, the FTS file does not start in the FITS Viewer 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. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 FTS file with the FITS Viewer application.
Step 3. Update FITS Viewer to the latest version
If, however, after binding FITS Viewer with Flexible Image Transport System Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTS 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 FTS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FTS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FTS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FTS 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 FTS 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 option of recovering data from damaged FTS files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FTS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FTS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FTS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
