FreeFileSync Forum

I suppose that my problem is caused on computer 2. That is a laptop with Windows 10 (NTFS) AND Linux Mint. Both systems act on the same file system. I prefer Linux, but sometimes I need to use Windows for certain tasks. Backup is always with FFS on Linux. Now I notice that I have a mess. Probably ...

Thanks Pierry for your answer. I understand that there are file systems that are not supported for detection of file movements. Maybe I have such a file system. Both computers are on Linux and the NAS is a WD based on Linux. Are there perhaps tests to investigate the proper detection of file ...

Thank you for your answer. But I always use already two-way sync. Can you explain me how FFS takes decisions on whether to copy a file or remove it? How does it know that a file has been deleted in the past? Is there maybe some system in the background that detects and remembers file deletion?

I have the impression that FFS doesn't work correct when used to synchronize 3 systems. I have two computers and a NAS in between so I synchronize computer 1 with the NAS and computer 2 with the NAS, separately. But it seems that there are problems with decisions on deletion or copy. When there is a ...

Now the command is as follows: And the result: Hope you have an idea.

Thanks Zenju, you're not too late! I interpreted your suggestion as follows:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxxxx,password=yyyyy, \gid=1000,uid=1000 //192.168.178.17/PCgeorge /mnt/shares/PCgeorge
Result:
,: command not found
The biggest differences with earlier attempts are the gid and uid ...

Sorry for the delay. I installed nfs-common, and did again a lot of attempts, but it wasn't successful. I think it's getting to complicated for me now. I must go back to the base and learn all the ins and outs of mounting.
Thank you for all your help.

This is the result for the first command:
sudo mount -v -t cifs -o 'ip=192.168.178.17,user=George' //MyBookLive/Public /mnt/shares/Public

I'm sorry, but it still doesn´t work. See the following command and result:
sudo mount -v -t cifs -o 'ip=192.168.178.17,unc=\\192.168.178.17\Public,user=George' //MyBookLive/Public /mnt/shares/Public

I did many attempts with the mount command, such as:
sudo mount -v -t cifs -o ip=192.168.178.17,unc=\\192.168.178.17\Public,user=SAMBAUSER //MyBookLive/Public /mnt/shares/Public
with the following result:

mount.cifs: bad UNC (\192.168.178.17Public)

Dear bgstack15,
Thanks for your ongoing support!
I need some more time for further investigation
You hear from me.

On
mount -v -t cifs //192.168.178.17/Public /mnt/shares/Public
I get the following result:
mount: only root can use "--types" option

On
sudo mount -v -t cifs //192.168.178.17/Public /mnt/shares/Public
I get the following result:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.178.17,unc=\\192.168 ...

The CIFS-Utils software is already active. For the Public share of my NAS I did the following:
I made a mount point: /mnt/shares/Public.
Then I mounted the share with the command

sudo mount.cifs //192.168.178.17/Public/ /mnt/shares/Public/

(The IP-address is the one of my NAS).
But this gives a ...

Thanks for your reaction. I haven't mounted it so far. I just found out that it is possibly a mounting issue. I found the advice to enter a specific command using the Cifs-util Suite. I have to work this out. But when you can help me, you're welcome. I'm no expert in this matter and new to Linux.

I have a PC with Linux Mint 18.3 and I want to use FFS 9.8 to sync parts of my harddisk to a Western Digital NAS (My Book Live). However, in FFS I can't input the target directory for the NAS, I cannot search for a network. But in the Nemo file manager the intended share on the NAS is very well ...
