Extract text from FlashFXP profiles (FTP)
To convert FTP profiles to another format, you need FreeArc or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Multi-Format Archive Data" file type, you need software like FreeArc or a similar tool.
The .ftp file extension is a fragmented format associated with multiple niche use cases, most notably FreeArc compressed game save files, Finanz Informatik Fault Tolerant Protocol archives, and S&P Global Platts commodity market data files. Certain website project files (Tri-Logyc FTDesigner) and FlashFXP XML configurations also use this extension.
Because the .ftp extension is overloaded across entirely different systems, it creates massive compatibility problems. A standard operating system has no built-in method to handle these files. You cannot simply double-click an .ftp file without the specific parent software, such as the Platts Market Data Client or the FreeArc archiver. The files are often locked behind proprietary formatting or require outdated software to parse.
Converting your .ftp file is the best way to standardize the underlying data. For compressed archives (FreeArc or ZIP-based Finanz logs), convert to ZIP or 7Z for universal extraction. For Platts market data or FlashFXP settings, convert to CSV or XML to read the plain text variables in any standard editor. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing obscure software via convert.guru.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FTP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, FPT, CRDOWNLOAD, TIF, RTF, FRP, ZIP, TXT, DOCX, JPG, MOV, XLSX and WEBP files.
If you want to convert FTP file to NM, PDF, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML or ENV, you can use FreeArc or similar software from the "Proprietary Data and Archives" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to FTP, try FreeArc or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Data and Archives" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FTP converter.
