FreeFileSync Forum

I again want to request that we have the option of controlling where this file is stored. The above is yet another scenario where this would be a useful feature and I don't believe this would be difficult to implement.

No, specifically I want to be able to set a time period (at night and/or weekends) that FFS uses as much wide area network bandwidth as it can gobble up but during weekdays I want it to pause transfers all together ... and then continue on after the restricted period is over without having to do an ...

Hi, I would like to bump this up again. I have some network syncs that might takes days or weeks to run and I can't currently use FreeFileSync since it will use the full WAN bandwidth during regular business hours. A simple option to pause data transfer during certain hours would meet my needs.

@Zenju, if you check only folder permissions then how would these changes be applied? Would you copy the permissions structure for the folder only but not update any potentially modified permissions structures for any of the files contained within? Or would you attempt to apply inheritable permissio...

+1 ... due to the way our network backups work these files are currently visible to our end users which is not ideal. It would be better if these were located somewhere outside of the folder pairs being configured for sync. My vote would be to allow for the use of a local ProgramData folder...

If implemented please make this optional, preserving the owner is very important for my use case.

I too would like to see this capability. Consider this scenario, I currently use Robocopy wrapped up in some custom PowerShell cmdlets in order to control various input settings and to do some other related work. This PowerShell cmdlet supports the -Whatif as well as -Confirm parameters and uses Rob...

Looks like the changes didn't make the July release. Here's hoping for August...

I can confirm that on 8.2 a folder with a different DACL on the left is not seen as any different than the same folder previously copied on the right. This is with the global checkbox selected to copied DACL, etc.

I am currently running 7.7 but will try 8.2 tomorrow... however, the global checkbox does not work on DACL/Owner CHANGES, it only copies this information if the file content changes or is a new file. I have a TON of scenarios on my network where data permissions change that do not result in any file...

I've requested this multiple times as well. There is nothing else I would rather see added to the software than the ability to copy/synchronize changes to the permissions... this is a key part of the file that is being overlooked by FreeFileSync.

I know this is an old feature request but please consider adding this. I don't think the basic implementation would be that hard... just compare the current time at the beginning of any file copy to a range of allowable hours (could even be in the XML, no need to make a GUI yet).
