FreeFileSync Forum

The 32 and 64 bit file format were unified some time ago. But there are at least these differences between Windows and Linux: Latter contains case-sensitive file names, former case-insensitive. The optional file id representations may be different for the same files mounted unter both OSs.

Dear Zenju,
I am using FFS sync quite happily in a multiplatform environment (Linux and Windows, that is. I often miss it when working on a mac though)
As a multiplatform user, something that bugs me is, why many programs choose
-files marked as invisible on win Platforms
-files with a dot as first ...

Hi there,
I am confronted with a rather annoying Bug. It may not even be FFS bug, but it
is annoying anyways:

I am using Win7x64 and FFS 3.7x32

Whenever I sync large amounts of data to my WebDAV Server, my HD is reported
to be full after a little while. The reason for that is, that the files ...

Well, this is not so much about fusedav anymore (Sorry I didn't make this
clearer in previous posts). I also came to the conclusion, that the most
reliable way to make FFS work with webdav is to write a version of fusedav
myself - which probably is not going to happen. I also found, however, that ...

I tested the GIO Library in Python (using Linux), and I was able to modify
Filedates on a Samba share. I think on of FFS's (many) key features is its
ability to synchronize over slow connections- unfortunately that is almost
impossible for a Linux user, because of the necessity to use GIO (and the ...

Hi,

so, I tried different setups using FFS in Linux, using several different
remote connection types (ftp, smb, dav). I also played around with gio (in
Python though, my c++ knowledge is severely limited).

I came to the conclusion, that using gio in FFS would be awesome. It would
enable ffs to ...

A pity. I played around with GIO as well but didn't find anything useful.
Seems to me like a major flaw in the api

Anyways, I tried FFS using davfs. FFS compared, found modified files and
copied them really fast- into the cache. Where they remain.. forever.

Possibly there is something wrong ...

Interesting.
Why would you get a different Error Message? Or rather, why can you copy files
to gvfsystems...
I used the same webdav server on windows, and it worked fine, so isn't that an
indicator that it must be a fusedav issue?

Well, it would be really awesome if you could implement this, as FFS is by far
the best Sync tool I have used in a while (at least under windows, that
is...;-D )

I am really not much of a programmer but maybe this
function can provide a way to determine if it's gvfs mounted or not.

If it's ...

..so I played around a bit: It appears nautilus uses its own utility to write
stuff to gv-file-systems. e.g. if I try gvfs-move, it works, if i use mv or dd
it does not.
btw the files I tried to create are in fact there, they just have 0-byte
length

Nautilus lets me do whatever I want, the commandline lets me create folders
(mkdir) but I couldn't create a file using dd if=/dev/zero of=/path to
webdav/foo
,giving me a similar error message "No such file or directory"

Seems to be a bug or limitation in .gvfs/fusedav

If you have any ideas ...

It says

"Fehler beim Schreiben der Datei:
"/home/arne/.gvfs/WebDAV auf sd2dav.1und1.de/Music/F/Francisco
Canaro/Francisco Canaro y su Orquesta Tipica/Francisco Canaro y su Orquesta

Linux Error Code 2: No such file or directory


Fehler ...

The problem is still there:

Linux Error Code 2: No such file or directory

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but as soon as FFS starts copying
I get some output on the console:

(FreeFileSync:14953): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.3/gobject/gsignal.c:2387: instance `0x8e51880' has
no handler with id `14268'

(FreeFileSync:14953): GLib ...

I'd love to give you more information on this, However, I don't get any debug
information from ffs.
Both Windows and Linux don't report the free disk space incorrectly, Linux
even claims there is zero disk space left on the server which could also cause
the copy routine to fail.
Any Idea how I ...

Hi,
I'm having trouble syncing to a webdav server mounted via gvfs on my Ubuntu
machine. The comparison runs without trouble and it's nice and fast and finds
all missing files etc, however, it won't copy a single file to the server.

I get a generic Error message about FFS not being able to open ...
