How to Edit/Open Files in CrossFTP

To edit/open files in the CrossFTP's local/remote panel, you can use the Edit/Open context menu when you select the file (see Fig. 1.). This helps you to streamline the file edit/open/preview journey.

To decide which program is used to edit/open the file, CrossFTP allows you to customize the program based on the file extension. After select "Choose Program..." context menu in Fig. 1., fill in the key program information and press OK (see Fig. 2.).

Trouble shooting

For Mac OS, if you want to Edit/Open the Local/Remote Files but failed, it may be caused by that you are using Mac AppStore version CrossFTP, which has sandbox policy that forbids CrossFTP to open the file.

To solve this issue, download and install non-AppStore version CrossFTP from our download page, and the problem should be solved.
On non-AppStore version CrossFTP, if you find that the original FTP sites are empty, you can import the AppStore version's FTP sites by: Sites -> Import -> CrossFTP Pro (Mac App Store) to import your original sites.
