Although I'm not in need of this today , I agree the Export is useful I'm wondering: Who is in need for a file list export in first place? Why is this a useful feature to keep in FreeFileSync, rather than remove it to simplify the GUI? In its current form the "export file list" seems more...

The problem is that for "multiple threads" to boost transfer times your sync has to process multiple files. If there is only one file, multiple threads does nothing. FileZilla on the other hand splits up a single file into multiple uploads, which is a feature FreeFileSync does not have (at...

Thanks dklev! I've made a few tests and observations: 1. the timeout of the FTP control connection occurs for uploads that take longer than 120 seconds 2. it's the FritzBox FTP server that silently terminates the FTP control connection at this time, but doesn't stop the FTP data connection from stil...

Good consideration... That only applies if you are using someone else's open source code in your own project. Correct. And FreeFileSync does not use other GPL-licensed code. But that does still mean the standard version can be used commercially if it's licensed with GPL That's a big if ! It should ...

- You can't buy the donation edition, you only receive it from donating That's correct. - FFS is described as "open source", by you, and open source software is explicitly allowed to be used for commercial use without restriction. This is also corroborated with the GPL included with the s...

If you buy something privately, but then use it for your work, it's obviously commercial use. Nothing gray about that.

??? "QUOT" command? Quota? What in the world are they talking about? There is no "QUOT" command issued by FreeFileSync. This has nothing to do with any "quota". The server issue is trivally seen in the Wireshark log: The server nonsensically responds with 500 FTP error ...

There is the "prompt during login" password option.

Did you ask about the FEAT response? It's obviously broken as can be seen with multiple clients and your logs.

If you like you can send me an email. Then I can send you my credentuials and you can reproduce it with my FTP- Server. dklev, 12 Dec 2023, 00:49

Yes, if I could reproduce the issue from my end, chances are much higher to find out what this time out is really about.

I don't know. The server's FEAT response obviously returns garbage. This should be reported to "World4You" as a bug.

This is one crazy/broken FTP server: 1. The FEAT responses for FreeFileSync and Cyberduck are different! This should not be possible. 2. For FreeFileSync FEAT includes "CLNT". But when FreeFileSync sends "CLNT FreeFileSync", the server returns "500 Unknown command"!? Th...

Let's see...
File object IDs are supported only on NTFS volumes

But for NTFS we have:
In the NTFS file system, a file keeps the same file ID until it is deleted

Ergo:
Object ID = useless
File ID = perfect as persistent file identifier (on NTFS).

Warning Cannot write file attributes of "E:\HD 1\DB At bkup\IC".
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER: The parameter is incorrect. [SetFileInformationByHandle(FileBasicInfo)] Attilo, 08 Dec 2023, 21:32

It's a different issue. What is "E:\HD 1\DB At bkup\IC"? Is it a file or a folder?

Ordered by increasing fees: bank transfer, credit card, PayPal

Bank transfer isn't free because it's also handled by Stripe, just like credit card.

Is this error reproducible? I've seen Apache mail servers bounce back "without error details". It turns out, they do in fact return details, but inconveniently disguised as email text, rather than part of the "message/delivery-status" block that email services expect and parse. I...

No, just use a single folder pair.

even without the include filters you suggested above. mahimahi, 24 Nov 2023, 14:11

Without the include filter the whole C:\ drive will be copied. I can't imagine this is what you want.

Just use "C:\" as source path, "D:\Backup" as target, and "\Personal; \Business" as include filter.

FTP uses two connections, one to transfer the data, the other to send control commands. In your video it almost looks as if the control connection timed out. This used to be an issue in the past, but should be fixed: https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6928 FFS set's CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE...

1. Your original FFS version is too old (apparently from 2020). It's configuration files are not recognized anymore. To migrate your config you already did the right thing and install a "no so old" version 10.22. Once all your config files have been migrated, you can install the latest FFS...

I'm wondering where RTS was referenced... A real puzzle, indeed! :) These two pieces of information gave it away: folder is sync'd automatically. [...] After 10 seconds Confusingly, the existence of the results screen after each sync doesn't make any sense when using RTS, but it was still the only ...

The configuration you're showing on the screenshot is not the one you have set up to run via RealTimeSync.

That is what I assumed earlier, but he stated that he does get a version after updating a file... xCSxXenon, 13 Nov 2023, 15:12

I need to see this to believe it.

11:58:20 AM Warning: Deleting file "\\I5SYS\Data\Info to Read from the Internet\~$hone 6S & Later.doc" [Recycle bin unavailable] This line suggests that you have "recycle bin" selected, not "versioning". For "versioning" the info message would be different.

There weren't any changes on the macOS side.

FreeFileSync 13.0 [2023-09-12]
------------------------------
Avoid redundant file reopen when setting file times during copy

FWIW not setting modtime correctly in FFS 13.2 is certainly a bug outside of FFS. But if FFS can offer a workaround by reverting to the old behavior, so be it.
