How to open MOBA file?
The most common problem when using MobaXterm Data Format is that a specific MOBA is not associated with the program. This causes the file MOBA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MOBA 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 MobaXterm
The first step is to check if the computer has the MobaXterm program installed. To do this, enter the name MobaXterm into the 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 MOBA.
Programs to open MOBA file
Remember to download programs supporting MOBA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MobaXterm with MOBA files
If, despite the installed application, the MOBA file does not start in the MobaXterm 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MobaXterm application as the default for handling the MOBA file.
Step 3. Update MobaXterm to the latest version
If, however, after binding MobaXterm with MobaXterm Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mobatek website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MOBA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MOBA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MOBA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MOBA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MOBA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MOBA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MOBA 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. It is best to move MOBA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MOBA to close. However, some background programs may block the MOBA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
