What is a SERVER file?

SERVER files mostly belong to WinRAR. SERVER files serve several roles in server environments and are not a single type of file. They may do one or more of the following:
  • Game server executables: Some files use the ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) and are built to run game servers. For example, a Terraria game server may include such a file. For more details, visit Terraria.
  • Server configuration files: Other SERVER files hold settings for systems such as CCcam or even host scripts like those used in Bitcoin scams. These are usually text files that can be opened with any simple text editor.
  • Compressed server archives: There are also SERVER files that are compressed using tools like RAR. These files can contain configuration data or other server-related data such as APM records. Use an archive utility like WinRAR to extract and view the contents.
  • FilExt.com notes: The use of a SERVER file depends on its internal format. If it is an executable, it needs to run in the proper server environment. If it is a configuration file, a text editor will open it. Compressed files require decompression first. In all cases, check the file’s source and purpose before editing or running it.

    How do you open SERVER files?

    You need a suitable software like WinRAR to open a SERVER file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SERVER file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SERVER file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
