What's the error message saying? xCSxXenon, 31 Dec 2025, 23:00

Error cannot rename file.

I have been working hard on organizing my music library. I found a program called Advance Renamer to remove & replace the Unicode special characters, the accent characters such as the ‘ ñ, ã, é’, and to standardize the file name in to an actual ‘TITLE’ name. Process is to replace all special ...

Dose FFS fragment an SD Card on your phone? Settings Recommendation…

I’ve set up the SFTP server on my android phone to use FFS. I currently have it set at 3 parallel operations with 3 channels. It would seem to make sense that it would possibly fragment the SD card a lot. Dose FFS safeguard ...

WOW! Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

Now I have to figure out how to put it all together. LOL, shesh I have not worked with script editing, shoot, it was back in 83-84.

Hope the learning curve is not too steep to catch up to date!

LOL!!!! You're great, thanks ...

> I think I had figured out that exclusion rules nuke inclusion rules.
As per the FFS Manual page on the In- and Exclude Filter :
Files and folders are only considered for synchronization if they pass all filter rules: They have to match at least one entry in the include list and none of the ...

See if something along these lines does it with local includes/excludes for each folder pair.
(Now, I don't know if my particular paths/includes/excludes are correct necessarily, but the idea probably is).

Thank you for the screen ...

I’m wondering if anyone knows of an audio file comparison utility that I might be able to add to FFS?

I just added ‘winmergU’ to FFS. It was a great example, and easy to do. I have been sorting through my music library, and digitizing all my CD’s to put on my media server. I would like to have a ...

Hey all, I’m new to the group, and I’m about a month in with FFS. This software is laid out with a simple design and is easy to use. I love it. I have been editing my music library, getting rid of low-quality duplicates, and editing the metadata as needed. This software allows me to do this on my ...

Thanks for the link! When I first tried to search the topic, it came back with over 500 hits. Some of them were as lost as I was, and the others I felt were over my head. That being said, I attempted the SFTP server idea. I didn’t think I could do it, but it was so simple to do. I had FFS up and ...

Well, I’ll try to go a bit deeper into what I was getting at. In my Example, about getting the recycle bin not available error. When I flag it to ignore these errors, the log file that is created still shows up with a yellow exclamation mark in it. Then I have to go through and make sure that the ...

Hello,

I would like to see an Expansion to the ignore errors option.

Instead of having a check mark; have a button that opens a window with all the possible errors listed (relating to file syncing) with check boxes next to them. Put in a check mark to ignore that error.

This would allow me to see ...

I've had FFS for a few months now, but I can not seem to get it to Sync a folder on my W11 Pro PC, to my Android's SD card.

If I take the card out and sync via USB cable directly to the card it works fine.

When I try to connect my phone via USB cable to the PC and run FFS. It finds all the files ...
