File extension .ICA

File description

Citrix is sever, desktop virtualization, networking and cloud computing software application. Citrix uses Independent Computing Architecture protocol for data passing between the server and client.

For configuring the protocol between the two is defined by a configuration file which is given the extension of ICA. The working mechanism of ICA is similar to Windows server. Some other server applications also use ICA protocol and hence use ICA files to transmit data between server and client. ICA usually runs over TCP port 1494. In some cases it uses CGP protocol as base protocol. All these configuration settings are mentioned in ICA file.

Remember!
The .ICA file extension can correspond to several not related file formats. If there is more than one file format with the .ICA extension, you will probably find most of them at this website. Remember that you need to download a program to support a particular file type. So first look through the entire contents of the website to select a program to support just the file you have.

Other possible reasons why your .ICA file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .ICA file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .ICA file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .ICA file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .ICA file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

  • Right-click the .ICA file
  • Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
  • Locate the appropriate application
  • Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
