FreeFileSync Forum

To prevent this from happening, you need to either update the Dokany version, or remove Dokany in the Windows control panel and reinstall Cryptomator (so that the newest Dokany version gets installed).

To clean up the mess once it happened, see the posts above. In particular, you can use a VM with ...

I had a look at how this could be implemented. Unfortunately, the FTP code is quite deeply integrated with AbstractPath and such, which was designed without user interaction in mind. So the dialog that asks the user for the password would probably have to be shown at an earlier point.
Anyway, more ...

(Note for others: Depending on the syncing service you use behind Cryptomator, you might be able to leverage that to reset to a certain state. In my case, that's Dropbox Free, which doesn't support bulk resets, so I would have to manually look at the history online and reset/delete all affected ...

Upon closer investigation of the behavior, it seems that FFS fails to delete the ffs_lock file. "Compare"-ing the directory will create a lock file (which isn't deleted anymore). "Synchronize"-ing does the same. Clicking either of these two buttons when a previous lock file hasn't been erased yet ...

Hi,

I'm trying to use FreeFileSync on a virtual drive created by Cryptomator, which uses https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany . For some reason, FreeFileSync starts creating files named:

Del.sync.ffs_lock
Del.Del.sync.ffs_lock
Del.Del.Del.sync.ffs_lock
...

It creates about one file every second ...

Cool! I'll write a patch when I get time. For now I tried building the existing code on Windows (with WSL if needed) for execution on Windows. I found this https://github.com/jeffli678/build-FreeFileSync so far. Let me know if you have more tips.

I'd offer my help with implementing this if I had access to the code. Either way, I'd appreciate a response (even if it's just "no" or "working on it with low priority").

Hi,

I discovered FreeFileSync for the use case of uploading files to an FTP server quickly and easily. It does better than domain-specific (FileZilla) or commercial products (PhpStorm). Kudos!

What prevents me from using it in practice is that it stores my sensitive password unencrypted in the ffs ...
