So maybe \\192.168.2.1\rosede ?

Thank you for the suggestion. I have already tried the IP address.

> but it appears that FFS is not capable of doing this.
By now, you should have understood that it is not FFS, but rather Linux that is not capable of doing what you want.


This is not true. I use KDE and their GUI file manager is called Dolphin. I can browse the network shares using Dolphin. I ...

Thank you for the reply, but that does not address my question. I know how to mount CIFS shares in Linux. The question at hand is in FFS Location Bar. In the Windows version of FFS I can access the network shares via the UNC Path. e.g. \\nas\share1, \\nas\share2 etc... But that does not work in the ...

I guess what I've been trying to describe is using the UNC path in FFS. In Windows, I can use the UNC path to access the shares, but I can't in the Linux FFS version. I understand that I first mount the share's in Linux and browse to the shares, but I'd like to use the UNC path like I do in Windows ...

The user name is not the issue and yes, I've installed smbclient. I can mount the share's from the command line without issue. The issue is I can't mount the shares from within FFS.

When in the Windows FFS I can "browse" to the share e.g. //nas/share. But when I am in the Linux version this does ...

I'm migrating from a Windows desktop to Linux. When using FFS in Windows, I can access my network shares e.g. \\nas\share1 etc.... and sync between my NAS's. But in the Linux version of FFS, I can't do that. Why? I could mount the shares and do it that way, but I'd prefer not to. I have several ...

The installer does not run on my system. Here is the error that I receive:

I am trying to install FreeFileSync on 64bit Rocky Linux. The Linux installer is only for 32bit systems. is there a 64bit installer?

Thanks

I don't think this is an issue with FFS. I think that I have an issue with my NAS which I need to further investigate.

I created some new directory's on my NAS and then attempted to sync to a backup NAS. I am getting the following error when trying to sync.

Error Cannot create directory "\\nas02\backup\docs_bkup\<directory>".
ERROR_IO_DEVICE: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error ...

I accidentally posted this on the wrong thread. Reposting here.

Okay, so I figured out how to resolve this issue.

After a little searching, I figured out how to view, and remove any extended NTFS file attributes from this files. I am not a Windows person, although I do use a Windows 10 as my ...

Yes, I've read this post, but it doesn't really answer the question; how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

I have two WD NAS's, an older EX4 and a newer, PR4100. I use the older NAS as my primary backup device. I used to use a built in backup utility to keep the two NAS's in sync with each other, but about a month or so ago, WD updated the PR4100 OS and broke the ability to backup up to an older NAS. I'm ...

Thank you for the reply.

I ended up using powershell to change the modification date. I'm no powershell expert, but I was able to muddle my way through. I'm not sure how the modification date changed, but it happened on two other files as well. I'm beginning to worry about using FreeFileSync. I ...

I use FreeFileSync to keep encrypted data in sync with backup devices. I used VeraCrypt to encrypt a volume of data, then I have multple encrypted backup devices that I backup up the data to.

I recently setup a new backup location on a NAS device and synced the data to the new encrypted volume ...
