What is a VSC file?

VSC files mostly belong to VSware.

VSC files are files used by several specialized applications to store structured data. Their primary use is as an inventory data file packaged in a compressed format (ZIP) by VSware software, which helps manage inventory records efficiently.

  • Inventory Data: These files often contain inventory records stored as a compressed archive. You might be able to open them by changing the file extension to .zip and using a standard decompression tool.
  • XML Vessel Supply: Some VSC files hold vessel supply chain information in XML format. An XML viewer or editor will show the data in this case.
  • Database Backup: In certain setups, a VSC file serves as a backup file for a Vasco database.
  • Settings File: A few VSC files store settings for systems like Victron Energy's VE.Bus Configuration Tool. For more specifics, see the Victron Energy page.

FilExt.com tip: You should use the application that originally created the VSC file to view and modify its contents. However, if the file uses the ZIP format, renaming the file extension might allow you to view its internal structure with a decompression tool.

How to open VSC files

You need a suitable software like VSware to open a VSC 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 VSC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VSC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

VSC file extension format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the VSC files:
