Thank you Zenju for this reply.

Best regards.

Thank you Zenju.

So simple that I couldn't figure it out :)

Hi,

This can be done manually on windows: search *.* in Windows Explorer, then drag-drop the files to the target folder.
Should work similarly under other O/S.

Not sure FFS can do it.

Hi,

Prior to 8.6, in order to sync a local (in my case, windows) folder with a remote one (in my case, ubuntu), with private key encryption through SFTP, I was using a workaround : use another software to create a pseudo local Z: disk on Windows, mapping a remote disk through SFTP with private key ...

Hi,

Could anyone let me know how to install the ubuntu distribution (FreeFileSync_8.6_Ubuntu_16.04_64-bit.tar.gz)?

There is apparently no readme or install file.

Usually, I install .deb files using the Ubuntu Software Center application, which is very straightforward. But there apparently isn't ...

Hi Zenju,

Congratulations, I've just downloaded V8.6. Private keys SFTP works fine. Almost 100 times faster than the workaround I was using!

Thanks a lot for this great job!

Hi,

Nice to see I'm not the only one :-)

Zenju, sounds like we're needing your help on this one :)

Best regards.

Hi,

Whether on Windows or Linux, there are standard OS utilities to do it. Task manager in Windows, various schedulers on Linux... Wouldn't that meet your needs?

Hi,

Since this link: https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3628 has been marked as [SOLVED], and my reply (https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3628#p12901) got no anwser there, I'm reposting it as a new post :

Hi,

FreeFileSync does a direct memory comparison, which is slightly faster.

Clever. Usually, file comparison uses hash keys, hence my reply. Next time, I'll remember to ask the author first!

Question then, even if (sorry !) it does not relate to the original post: how do you compare large files ...

Hi,

I've added support for authentication via OpenSSL PEM private keys:

When do you plan to release the 8.6 ...

Hi,

As observed on my PC, USB 2.0 real speed is approx 20 Mb/s, while 3.0 is approx 120 Mb/s

At this speed, 2.5 Gb should take 20 seconds on USB 3.0, and 2 mns with 2.0.

Did you enable contents comparison, instead of mere file date and size ? Then, for each file, it creates an MD5 hash key, which ...

Hi,

Are on Windows, Mac, Linux? The procedure differs depending on your O/S...

Hi,

I'm having the same issue, but the hint above is not working for me. In Ubuntu, I use the "Application at startup" GUI Application, and add an entry with the following line (the .ffs_batch being at the root of disk 'mydisk') :

/usr/bin/RealtimeSync /media/myusername/mydisk/myffsfile.ffs_batch ...

Thank you Zenju, and best regards.
