.ASP File Extension


File Type Active Server Page
File Format File
Common? No
File Description Server-generated Web page that may contain scripts written in VBScript, C#, or JavaScript; parsed on the server, which generates HTML that is sent to the client's browser; commonly used by ASP.NET sites and websites hosted on Microsoft IIS-based servers.

Since ASP pages are processed on the server, website visitors do not see the actual ASP code, just the HTML generated from the scripts within the page; ASP pages typically use the ".asp" extension rather than ".html."
Program(s) that open asp files Mac: Any Web browser; View in a text editor
Windows: Any Web browser; View in a text editor; Run with Microsoft IIS
