Convert the AF backup configuration file from .bcf to .txt

Hi, did anyone had tried to convert the backup configuration of Sangfor Firewall file from .bcf to .txt for readable file.

HiHi,

The configuration file can be opened using 7-zip software, and the password for the compressed configuration file is "greatsinfor".   However, I am unable to view any text that I can understand.

The following are contents included on the System Config page:
Download Current Config File: To back up the current configurations, click this link todownload and save the current configurations to the local computer. The configurations are saved as a .bcf file.
Browse: To restore the configurations previously backed up, click it to select the
configuration file from the local computer.
Restore: Click it to restore the configurations from the selected file

Converting Sangfor Firewall backup configuration files from .bcf to .txt format for readability is indeed feasible and commonly done.

it is possible to convert .bcf file to .txt file. however, there were times that the text is not readable.

Hi, yes it's possible but there are some section that contains unreadable data as it's not intended to open this backup file as txt. But is useful if you want to retrieve some firewall settings you made before.

Yes, it is possible to convert a Sangfor Firewall backup configuration file (.bcf) to a readable text file (.txt).

1. Locate the .bcf file on your computer. This file contains the configuration data of your Sangfor Firewall.

2. Install a tool that can handle the .bcf file format. One such tool is the Sangfor Firewall Management Center (FMC), which can open and manage .bcf files. You can download and install the FMC from the official Sangfor website.

3. Open the FMC application and navigate to the "Configuration" or "Backup/Restore" section, depending on your FMC version.

4. Import the .bcf file into the FMC by clicking on the "Import" or "Browse" button and selecting the .bcf file from your computer.

5. Once the .bcf file is imported, you can export it to a readable text file (.txt) format. Look for an option called "Export" or "Save as" and choose the .txt format.

6. Save the file to your desired location, and you now have a readable text file (.txt) containing the Sangfor Firewall configuration data.

Note that this method requires having the Sangfor Firewall Management Center installed on your computer.

Yes, you can use a text editor or a simple command-line tool like "sed" to convert a .bcf file to .txt. Open the .bcf file with a text editor, then save it as a .txt file. Alternatively, use the command "sed -e 's/\.bcf$/.txt/' filename.bcf" to change the file extension. However, be aware that the content might not be fully readable due to the specific format of the Sangfor Firewall configuration file.
