Server Settings: The SRV file stores connection details for trading servers. It is used by MetaTrader 4 to manage how the trading platform connects to a forex server. Visit the MetaTrader 4 website for more details.

Survey Definitions & Data: Some SRV files contain definitions for surveys or hold survey data. These files work with survey applications like Qualtrics, which you can learn about at the Qualtrics website, and with surveying software such as Surfer and Leica Geo Office.

SRV file format:

To find out what program is needed to open SRV files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below you will find our evaluation of the SRV files:

The SRV extension is very commonly found and mainly uses a special format. But the following two file formats are common:

70% of all SRV files lack a unique signature. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. A typical file size is 1 KB. The file type is relatively new. The keywords Demo are typical for these files. These files are often associated with demo, live, real, server, forex, markets, xmglobal and ftmo.
2% of all SRV files store the data in the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The average file size is 91 KB with most files being between 35 KB and 290 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: <?xml version="1.0", OrgI, OrgId, SurveyID, VersionName and encoding="utf-8"?><Root><Survey VersionNumber="2". Files like these have the following tags: scripting, examples and rules.

All other SRV files (28%) have different formats, often, for example, PDF, UTF-16 (LE), PARCEL, FRONT, POINT and TRANSFER. Sometimes used for global, icmarkets, alpari, exness, tickmill or robo. If you want to find out what your SRV file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
