What is SSH file?

The file with the extension SSH is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by F-Secure. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Data Fellows Secure Shell Document is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is F-Secure Internet Security. This was created by F-Secure.

How to open SSH file?

An often recurring problem with Data Fellows Secure Shell Document is that SSH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SSH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSH 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 F-Secure Internet Security

The first step is to check if the computer has the F-Secure Internet Security program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name F-Secure Internet Security in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SSH with F-Secure Internet Security. Below is a list of programs that support the file SSH.

Programs to open SSH file

Remember to download programs supporting SSH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of F-Secure Internet Security with SSH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSH file still does not use the F-Secure Internet Security program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the F-Secure Internet Security application as the default for handling the SSH file.

Step 3. Update F-Secure Internet Security to the latest version

If, however, after binding F-Secure Internet Security with Data Fellows Secure Shell Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the F-Secure website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSH 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SSH 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 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SSH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SSH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SSH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 SSH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact F-Secure
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SSH 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SSH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SSH to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
