How to open ZFT file?

The main problem with BlueZone FTP Data Format is that the ZFT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ZFT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZFT 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 BlueZone

The first step is to check if the computer has the BlueZone program installed. To do this, enter the name BlueZone 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 ZFT with BlueZone. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZFT files.

Programs to open ZFT file

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

Step 2. Create association of BlueZone with ZFT files

If, despite the installed application, the ZFT file does not start in the BlueZone 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZFT file with the BlueZone program.

Step 3. Update BlueZone to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BlueZone program, it is possible that BlueZone FTP Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Rocket Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZFT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ZFT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZFT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZFT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZFT file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZFT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZFT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ZFT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ZFT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZFT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZFT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
