FreeFileSync Forum

I see, I must have misunderstood OP's request. Setting up a custom command for an external application should work

Wouldn't comparing by 'file content' do this?

I was wrong. I thought I could view files with the button next to the path. begale70, 17 Nov 2024, 18:04

Ah yes. Since only directories are valid options for selection, only they are visible when browsing via this button.

This sounds more like an issue in the FUSE process. Are you sure that the password(s) in the credentials file are correct? Are you sure that the file is actually intact and readable? Is the local OS disk failing or does it possibly have a dirty file system?

Just a note, if the two locations are already in-sync, your comparison results will be empty. The filters below the results allow you to toggle different categories of file pairs. The "equal" category is hidden by default because that information is much less important than the differences.

Is there a way to substitute only the libcurl file in a windows system? Runner973, 17 Nov 2024, 09:39

libcurl isn't a file in Windows. You would have to get the FFS code, apply the libcurl changes, and compile it yourself

The fast host may have kept the metadata or file table in DRAM or much quicker storage than the files themselves. I wouldn't expect 1.2 million files to be scanned within seconds, especially with FTP

Donate a buck or two?
Wait at the mercy of the developer? lol

Most likely you've (accidentally?) changed the symbolic link handling, see the comparison config page:
https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=comparison-settings

"ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED" is the default response when symlink handling is set to "follow" for these folders as you saw in Explorer.

I'm not sure that there is any way around this other than removing SharePoint. If you don't consider files different based on size or content, there isn't anything else to reliably base it off of.

These junctions are there for legacy support. Back in the day, Windows stored My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos inside the Documents folder. When Microsoft transitioned to storing those folders as subdirectories of the user's folder as we do now, they added these junction points. These allowed ...

You say you changed the paths in FFS accordingly, but the error says otherwise:
"C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Music"
Unless your Documents weren't moved over. In that case, the "My Music" shortcut in Documents is a symbolic link. Documents contains "My Music", "My Pictures", and "My Videos ...

Hi,
@Zenju i have the same problem but with linux. is there a fixed version for linux too? dj-melo, 13 Nov 2024, 07:54

You'll likely have to wait for 13.9 to release. I've never seen a beta version for anything other than MacOS and Windows

Don't double post.

You'll probably need a third party solution to mount the Nextcloud drive in the OS

If RTS is set to monitor it, RTS will simply wait until the location becomes available again
If using Task Scheduler, it will trigger a FFS sync, but that will error out since the location isn't available. When you set up the task, you determine when it will attempt another sync

FFS will fail to sync and won't do anything

NTFS on Mac strikes again
You could backup the data, reformat the drive, then put the data back. This saves having to buy another drive. exFAT is supported on MacOS and Windows, otherwise APFS/HFS+ are MacOS only

You can probably switch to a 'mirror' sync and achieve that behavior

You have a new file "image1.jpg" that FFS is trying to copy to drive but that name is already taken. Rename the local file, rename the drive file, or delete the drive file

FFS can detect stale lock files, so it might work if you wait 30-60 seconds. Otherwise, you may have to enable visibility of hidden files to see the lock files in order to delete them

Your sync configurations are saved where ever you tell them to be saved


This is the important part.

Why were they in Documents when they had never been there before, and where were they going before that (when they always stayed in the UI) ?
Then how do I put things back as they were ...

Looks correct.
Instead of manually entering filters, first run a comparison and then right-click the folder from the results to exclude. This eliminates any possibly of syntax errors

All of this not even triggered a reaction by the product owner.
A statement not leaving us in the dark along the lines of
- its technically complicated
- I don't have time at the moment but maybe later
- etc

would have been nice but did not appear.


I mean, don't get me wrong, I also really ...

You can install the new version right on top of the current one

"Free version has not speed limitations"
There is a limit on the number of threads. ksg, 07 Nov 2024, 19:07

Correct, but threads are very rarely going to result in a speed improvement. They only help artificially throttled transfers

"Switching from large files to small files"
Does the program check small files first?
Why does the slowdown always happen exactly at 10 seconds?
Is this not related to the free version?


The program doesn't necessarily do small files first
Sounds like your write cache fills up in 10 seconds
