File extension .SFO
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| CuteFTP Search Format | N/A | Settings Files |
The SFO file extension is associated with CuteFTP, an FTP client for Windows developed by GlobalSCAPE. This type of files are used to store search information regarding remote FTP servers. They are generated when the user chooses the 'Search' option from CuteFTP. It will scan the FTP server and gather all the available files from it while creating a listing of them. SFO files contain this list including their filename, file size and time of creation, but only for files that can be accessed on the server.
Structure of SFO Files
Technically speaking, these files have the same structure as any other types of configuration files for Windows OS. They are composed of plain text its structure is usually determined by the syntax of.INI files. Local path and remote path fields are stored according to this standard, making it possible to be parsed by other Windows programs.
Other Similar File Extensions
It’s possible to open, view or edit SFO files with any Windows text editor. Other similar file extensions associated to FTP programs are IFB, FXP, LAD, IOB, XYZ, and FFSES.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SFO) 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 .SFO 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 .SFO 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 .SFO 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 .SFO extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SFO file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SFO 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 .SFO file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SFO file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SFO file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
