File extension .ASA
| Full Name | Developer | Category |

| Active Server Configuration Format | N/A | Web Files |
The ASA file extension is used by the Active server Pages (ASP) for storing configuration settings. These files are written in plain text and are used to map URLs to specific resources such as documents, folders, or programs.This file type is commonly used in web hosting environments to specify the configuration of an Internet Information Services (IIS) web server.
File Contents
The contents of an ASA file include settings such as HTTP mappings, application pool configurations, and database connection strings. This mapping is stored in a key/value pair format which is then read by the server when the file is accessed by an application or interacted with directly by a user. The main purpose of the ASA file is to specify the parameters for how the data related to a website is handled on the web server.
Similar File Extensions
The ASA file is similar to other instance configuration files, such as .DAT, .INI, .CONF, and .CFG. These files are all used to store configuration settings and are normally written in plain text.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ASA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ASA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ASA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ASA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ASA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ASA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ASA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ASA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ASA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ASA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
