Here is a solution / workaround for you.

In Liu of storing passwords inside FFS: Use open source utility app Rclone to mount your cloud drives. LeoW, 08 Sep 2023, 02:58

Thanks a lot.
That's one more app to use but it seems to be an interesting one, that may solve multiple tasks at once. I'll give it a try !

Is it just me ?
Does anyone has another one ?

and IP.IP.IP.IP/

both with my login (user@mail.fr)

It seems to have no effect !
And for "Password", "Key file" and "Pageant" (?) authentication.

And more importantly, if I remove the password, it is not prompted, the synchronization just fails ...

Hi
I'm using FreeFileSync a lot as a donation user, to synchronize my different computers.

But I have a major problem with sftp connections : the password is recorded in the freefilesync configuration file. It's a major safety issue for me since connecting my computer is done from my mail account ...
