What is a DUCK file?

DUCK files mostly belong to Cyberduck. DUCK files serve as connection bookmarks used by Cyberduck. They store server details like address, username, and protocol settings in an XML format.
  • The structured XML lets Cyberduck import and export your connection profiles easily.
  • They work for protocols such as FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.
    • FilExt.com note: You can open these files with any text editor if needed. For additional details, visit Cyberduck official site.
