# Setting Application Types for Filetype Extensions

Configure filetype_extensions.map to set the application types for filetype extensions.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

Open filetype_extensions.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify filetype extensions with the following syntax:
```
MAP: ApplicationName    
FiletypeExtension1      
FiletypeExtension2 
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.

By default, the most common filetype extensions are already included in this mapping file.
Example
```
MAP: animation    
mpe
mpeg
mpg
pcs
```
This example maps mpe, mpeg, mpg and pcs filetype extensions to animation.
Save the changes.

Open filetype_extensions.map in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.
