What is a .FTP file?
The file extension .FTP is associated with a FlashFXP XML File. This type of file is created by FlashFXP, which is a software program designed for Windows that manages connections to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites. An FTP file is essentially a backup or export of the settings and details of an FTP site that has been configured in FlashFXP. The content of the file is written in XML format, which is a way to store data in a structured, readable format.
The information stored in an FTP file includes various details necessary to connect and interact with an FTP site. This includes the name of the site, the type of connection it uses, the specific address of the site, the method used for logging in, and the rules for transferring files. It also contains sensitive information like the username and password required to access the site.
FTP files are particularly useful for sharing FTP site configurations with other users or for keeping a backup of site settings. This can be helpful if you need to set up the same FTP site on a different computer or restore settings after a software reinstall.
To open an FTP file, you can use the program OpenSight FlashFXP, which is the same software used to create these files. Within FlashFXP, you can import an FTP file by going to the "Sites" menu, selecting "Import Sites...", and then choosing the "FlashFXP XML (*ftp)" option from the dropdown menu. After that, you navigate to where the FTP file is saved, select it, and click "Import" to load the site settings into FlashFXP. This process allows you to quickly and efficiently restore or share FTP site configurations.
