FreeFileSync Forum

The "Copy locked files" option is part of the FreeFileSync global options.

RealTimeSync will launch FreeFileSync so the setting should be respected.

How to Unblock a File in Windows 10

Hi Lukas, I hope you had managed to recover your lost files. If not, I recommend you Recuva from Piriform, is free and effective. DON'T use the pc where you have lost your files because almost certainly you will end up overwriting them. So use another pc to download the Recuva portable version http:...

I maintain only the ffs_batch version that I can use also in interactive/gui mode without problems.

RealTimeSync needs to monitor its source and target directories to operate, so if "The SFTP protocol does not support directory monitoring" its job can't be done.

Did you know that you can setup different Versioning folders for every folders pairs?

No, and whats FFS do is correct. The changed file music.xlsx reside in the "root" relative to your folders pairs, so the old version is moved to the "root" of the folder you have chosen for versioning. You can choose a different Versioning folder, for example: M:\Versioned-Copies...

Look for this text:

Copy files selected on the main dialog to an alternate folder and thereby save a "diff"

at the page linked by Zenju.
There you will find some details.

Anyway, you must do what detailed there before you do the Sync between the 2 folders.

Copy files selected on the main dialog to an alternate folder and thereby save a "diff"

Hi Rom83,

did you setup the option
[x] Detect moved files
in the Synchronization (F8) panel?

Try adding a trailing backslash:

Try running FFS as Administrator.

Ok, I confirm that the Left and Right folder are the same and you are trying to sync a folder with itself.
Verify that and retry.

From what I can see, you are trying to sync the same exact folder belonging to the same computer.

I was expecting something on the right identifying the other computer.

Please paste the full content of your script.

As you can see, the Left and Right FolderPairs are the same:

/Volumes/CURRENT PROJECTS

You are trying to sync a folder with itself!

If you are speaking about folder browsing when you choose the folders to compare, you can write the path directly, you are not forced to browse if you don't like.
I'm using the Windows version.

In FFS save your sync settings in a file using File, Save.

Open the saved file with a text editor, find the word FolderPairs then follow my previous post.

Please copy and paste the FolderPairs section from your script, something similar to this: <FolderPairs> <Pair> <Left>C:\TEMP</Left> <Right>E:\TEMP</Right> </Pair> </FolderPairs>

Show us the folder pairs and the include / exclude filters!

If you were in Windows you should use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray before removing any writable support.
Is there something similar in Debian?

Put an asterisk in front, like this:

*\.svn\
