Thank you!Let me jump the gun and say that if the uid/username of the owner of ~/.config/FreeFileSync is not your current uid/username, then you will need to chown it.bgstack15, 24 Apr 2022, 19:54sudo chown --recursive ~/.config/FreeFileSync

For reasons of ease of mounting a remote drive I changed the name of the home directory. E.g.: [rpowell@roger-pc ~]$ pwd /home/rogerp Maybe I should inst...
