VSSCC files are considered Developer Files, primarily associated with Visual SourceSafe Status File by Microsoft Corporation. This file format is used in Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, a version control system, or source control system, software package oriented towards small software development projects. Like most source control systems, it operates on a 'check-out, modify, check-in' basis.
Your computer utilizes an application to open VSSCC files. By having the most relevant software installed on your PC will allow you, the user, a smooth transition with opening the file. In many instances, the application is Microsoft Visual Studio. Other popular software that can open such files includes VisualSVN Server or SourceTree.
You may not only want to open the file but also read and modify it. In this scenario, Visual Studio comes handy. You can view the changes, commit your modifications, or track the modifications of the team members. If the language of the VSSCC file is known to you, such as XML, Python, or Java you can also open the file in a basic text editor like Notepad.
While they hold development control data, VSSCC files might also be used when setting up and administering repository configurations in the Visual SourceSafe Administration tool. However, such cases are relatively less frequent.
Always confirm whether the file you have received in VSSCC format is from a trusted source. Check the file thoroughly for possible malware or viruses. Modern-day antivirus software will have a built-in feature to examine the safety of a VSSCC file before opening it. Make sure to keep your Microsoft Visual Studio or other software for handling VSSCC files up to date, to mitigate any security risk and to prevent compatibility issues with new formats.
