How to open SMARTFTP file?
An often recurring problem with SmartFTP Data Format is that SMARTFTP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SMARTFTP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMARTFTP 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 SmartFTP
In this case, you should first verify that the SmartFTP application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SmartFTP into the 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 SMARTFTP files.
Programs to open SMARTFTP file
Remember to download programs supporting SMARTFTP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartFTP with SMARTFTP files
If, despite the installed application, the SMARTFTP file does not start in the SmartFTP application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SmartFTP application as the default for handling the SMARTFTP file.
Step 3. Update SmartFTP to the latest version
If, however, after binding SmartFTP with SmartFTP Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Smartsoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMARTFTP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SMARTFTP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SMARTFTP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SMARTFTP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SMARTFTP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SMARTFTP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SMARTFTP 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SMARTFTP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 SMARTFTP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SMARTFTP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SMARTFTP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
