FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks for the quick reply. Is the rule - "Alternatively, you can avoid the problem in the first place by only synchronizing from FAT to FAT or NTFS to NTFS file systems." - the same for exFAT? My local file is NTFS but the mounted virtual drive by an application is exFAT. However, I am st...

On occasion a file is presented as having a different time stamp by exactly 1 hour. However, if I go and look up the file myself I find that what is presented on the right (in the attachment) is not representative of the actual file time stamp. The actual time stamp indeed matches the date and time ...

Also, how does this help me when I have 100's of files to be synch'd?

Thanks for the reply. So, to be clear. You wen to the file that is to be copied and changed the properties and add your account. I am not savy on file property security so can you give me some more direction as to what account I should add. Is this an account that FFS uses?

Thanks

Any idea how to fix FFS without turning off "Fail safe file copy?" I don't see where I can post a picture but it is exactly the same as to what the person posted above? Help Please!

I thought the topic at https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9637 was the most recent topic so I posted I am having the same error at the above link. I see this topic is more recent. Sorry, I did not see this one first to post here. Let me know if I need to copy that content and put it here...

I need to add on that I am also getting "ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [MoveFileEx]. I am using Icedrive to synch my files to the cloud. I occasionally use FFS to verify all of my files have synched. Icedrive uses a model which mounts a virtual drive. I use FFS to compare my local file...

I use Icedrive as my cloud provider. They have the option for a user to store files either in an encrypted folder(s) or non-encrypted folder(s). I only store files in the non-encrypted folder which are fairly static and they are encrypted using Cryptomator. That works perfectly when I have FreeFileS...

In the default configuration when you select 2 folders to compare it creates a file titled "sync.ffs_lock" to avoid another user from attempting to update the folder(s) when the synch is running. Test it for yourself by taking 2 folders and after you click compare go to the folder you sele...

For my original issue I ran a memory check and it determined 1 of the 4 memory sticks was bad. And for the issues where it would just "sit" processing the file I found some to be 'left over" FFS locks on the file. I cannot recall if I have seen that since replacing the memory stick bu...

External drive file system is NTFS. I have used FFS for 3-4 years now and I appreciate the product and I have made donations. I don't recall this issue previously so something has changed. Certainly a much newer PC with a new gaming type motherboard, 1gb cards, and 64GB of memory so the PC if any an...

I am copying several large files from my HDD drive to an external HDD drive. In recent copies of 3GB files or larger the copy process gets to a point where it states "cannot copy file" and shows on the destination drive a "xxx.ffs_tmp." It appears FFS writes data to a "tmp&q...

I have read many links on this forum but I have not really found the final solution on how to solve for my similar issue. I have a data folder that contains outlook.pst and I get an access denied as file cannot be locked. I read on the forum where someone mentioned the same and said add " &...

Truecrypt was one of the applications that worked but FreeFileSynch did not. After trying different things, reboots, etc. I decided to downgrade back one version and that did not work. So, I decided to uninstall FFS and reboot fresh. I reinstalled 10.18 and it now works. I have no idea why it stoppe...

I have a virtual drive that I can visibly see and copy contents from and to using explorer. However, when I select the same virtual drive with FFS it is not displayed. I also used TrueCrpt and VeraCrypt and both applications can see the virtual drive. I am on version 10.18 Is there an option I must ...
