FreeFileSync Forum

What you may be able to do, is to limit the scope of your FFS sync, e.g. via the Include or Exclude Filter. Plerry, 08 Aug 2021, 15:17

Thanks for the tip. I will go that way. I will also look at other exclude option: older than x days.

Hi,

I have an external backup NAS (target) which have hundreds of folders. I have temporary folder (source) on my laptop which contains only last 10-20 folders and new ones that need to be updated on the target. I prefer to use "Update" variant to make a copy on NAS. When I run "compare" it scans ...

Hi,

Initially I was thinking (I don't know why I didn't check that before) that there are separate executables for UI and command line, but I obviously was wrong.

rsync is a great tool, but I cannot use it in one environment I need to backup. On that env there is only SFTP access, so I was ...

Hi,

I've managed with the errors above (missing libwxgtk3.0-dev and libboost-all-dev).

I must say, that I'm quite disappointed. The command line is strongly connected with GTK+ which is preventing it use in non-UI environments like my NAS. Am I missing something?

BR,

Hi,

I'm also facing compilation error, but different than mentioned above:

mkdir -p ../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/
g++ -std=c++14 -pipe -DWXINTL_NO_GETTEXT_MACRO -I../.. -I../../zenXml -include "zen/i18n.h" -Wall -O3 -DNDEBUG `wx-config --cxxflags --debug=no` -pthread `pkg-config --cflags ...

This isn't an IPv6 issue: You're trying to access an FTP server via the SFTP protocol! ;) Zenju, 29 Oct 2017, 17:09

SFTP is available on that server as weel. I can connect via SFTP using FileZilla and WinSCP, but I can't with FreeFileSync.

I can arrange that, but I would not like to public it here :) and I don't see that private messages are available. Please contact me via e-mail I used on this forum (I assume you as site admin has privileges to read that)

Hi,

I would like to back to this problem. Now I have reproducible environment. What I'm sure is:
1) The error is: Cannot open folder "sftp://xxx.ovh.net/".
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL: Failed opening remote file - LIBSSH2_FX_PERMISSION_DENIED [libssh2_sftp_opendir]
2) When using FileZilla & WinSCP ...

Hi,
I've mirrored left folder to right folder. Then, after it was done, I've entered some exclusions:
*.pst|*.ost (I want all outlook files to be deleted)
\*\Thunderbird\ (I want any subdirectories named Thunderbird to be deleted)

If I run the mirror again, those files and directories don't get ...

It turned out that my ISP changed IPv4 into IPv6 and that was the issue. When they changed back to IPv4 synchronization works fine.
In general IPv6 should work fine with SFTP. Do you have an IPv6 test server that reproduces the connection issues?

Now I don't have. Actually I really don't know ...

I got the same error
Error Code LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL: Failed opening remote file
LIBSSH2_FX_PERMISSION_DENIED (libssh2_sftp_open)
In case when I wanted to compare folders (local to remote via SFTP )
It turned out that my ISP changed IPv4 into IPv6 and that was the issue. When they changed ...
