FreeFileSync Forum

Many thanks alagga for your suggestion.
I will try. I know nothing about FTP, so I have first to learn something about the matter.
But if it is a solution I will definitely try.
Thanks again.

Thank you @soit78, you have been very exhaustive.
Unfortunately your configuration is not working for me.
It keeps on freezing on files to delete or changed files to replace. (no matter if internal memory or external SD card)

The only configuration working for me is the opposite way: mirroring ...

@xCSxXenon,
since you don't experience any issue syncing your phone could you please tell me exactly what setting are you using? (comparison variant, syncronisation variant, direction if not two way, etc.)
Many thanks

If you mirror your phone to PC there sould be no problem at all.

Setting synchronization as 'Mirror' and not opting for 'Detect moved files' means FFS doesn't touch any file and doesn't save/modify any db on the phone.

Better then nothing I will probably use it but I badly miss the 'Two way ...

Want to see the specular scenario?

This time D.txt on phone is newer and file on PC needs to be updated:

It works, as expected, because FFS have to do nothing on D.txt on phone.
Obviously, BEFORE clicking 'Synchronize', I deleted sync.ffs_db on phone.

If I DON'T ...

You also said that deleting the db file didn't fix it with this scenarios either, so I am confused

Yes, in the other scenario there is a file to be updated (not just copied).
In this case here is what happens:

I click 'Compare' and you can see in the job list ...

Maybe I can do a simpler example to better explain myself.

Take a pair of folders to sync, one on PC and the other on Phone.
These folders are empty. (no database either)
Click 'Compare'.
FFS says: "No files to syncronize".
Click 'Synchronize' anyway.
FFS will write a database in each folder.
Put a ...

Would be nice to see if you get same results as mine described in:

Hi Zenju,

I have been using FFS for many years and I'm happy with it, but I am resigned to the fact that the MTP syncing doesn't work.

And I see that even for other people doesn't work. I tried with every new version and with various phones. Does it work only in phones with root permissions ...

Please Zenju,
may I know about above?

Should I go for an old 'ad' variant of FFS?

many thanks

Hello,

I read lot of topics on portable version but (may be it's me as not native speaker) I miss a point.

From my main PC I need to bring with me some files using portable devices (USB sticks and drives) and even sync some of them on my work PC.
Since one USB stick can't store all what I need I ...
