Not be a problem in that it will ignore the 5-year-old or older files & folders if I enter the number of days in the filter? Thanks

Thanks, so if I'm doing an "Update" sync and I want to exclude files, folders on the source, or left side, that are over 5 years old... can this be done? Thanks

I'd like for my sync to ignore any files or folders that have a modify or creation date older than 5 years. I tried entering 1,825 days in the filter but they are still included. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

So I'm sure that's the case. By removing the destination folder it seems to have created the folder and sync'd the contents. Thanks

I don't have the exact error message other than it was basically saying it couldn't sync the folder contents because it said the folder already existed on the destination. Once I removed the folder, which had the exact same name as the source, the update sync worked.

I set up a pair to "update" sync and ran into this issue. On the left side I selected the folder I wanted to update sync. On the right side I selected the path to the destination folder named exactly the same as the source. Sync failed because "the folder already exists". Why didn't FFS just use ...

Thanks Zenju, I will investigate the update option. Appreciate it.

Should I use a different sync method rather than Mirror? I'm not familiar with how to add a symbolic link as you suggest. So much to learn... :-)

Thanks for the reply... perhaps I didn't explain my issue clearly, sorry. I'm asking to find out if FreeFileSync can use a second set of credentials to access certain folders on the server I'm syncing from? All of my pairs are syncing as expected except for two. The local admin account on the server ...

I have two different sources that need to sync to the same destination. What I have found so far when using Mirror sync is that whichever pair syncs last is what that destination looks like.

Example, using the two pairs below, Pair 1 syncs and copies everything under Folder_A to the destination ...

I have several sync jobs set up and would like to know if the sync will run with no user logged into the server. Or how about if all sync jobs were setup with user A logged in and then user A logs out and user B logs in, will the sync still happen?

Thanks

I just recently installed FreeFileSync, this program is wonderful and saving me and my staff hours of work... Much appreciated!

So I have a question regarding source folders and their permissions. I have a server that I am syncing to a QNAP. The user account I am using to log into the server is a ...
