Open SFO File
SFO extension files have various applications depending on their format, some of them are as follows:
PSP Game
In this section, the SFO file contains parameters information about a Playstation Portable (PSP) game.
The PSP, or PlayStation Portable, is a console that is capable of performing tasks related, not only to video games, but also to a portable media player and also as a PDA.
The PSP at the time was the most technically powerful portable console on the market.
It has a 333 MHz CPU and a 4.3-inch screen (with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels) which makes it very complete compared to other similar ones in its environment, including here the Nintendo DS and the N-Gage.
It incorporated a data system, based on UMD disks, which are small disks of about 6 centimeters that can store up to 1.8 GB, more than enough for both games and multimedia content.
It also incorporated a Wi-Fi connection, a hallmark of next-generation consoles shared with the Nintendo DS and that exponentially expands its possibilities.
Thus, the SFO file stores information such as category, disc version, parental level, region code, titles, and updater version.
CuteFTP
In this second case, an SFO file stores the search settings used by CuteFTP, a popular FTP program for Windows and Mac OS X.
What is FTP?
FTP is the acronym for 'File Transfer Protocol'.
FTP is a protocol used to transfer all kinds of files between computers connected to a network, for example the Internet.
FTP accounts are the standard way to manage content hosted on a web server: send files, download them, create directories, delete files, etc.
Each FTP account is identified by its username and is validated using a password.
Likewise, each FTP account is associated with a directory that behaves like its root, such that the user connecting via FTP can access files created in directories and subdirectories starting from its root, but no further back.
The SFO file is often referred to as 'CuteSearch.sfo'
