Aren’t the SFTP commands not already encrypted by FreeFileSync before before being sent through the internet ? Yes, SFTP is TLS-encrypted, and so is everything that is sent over the SSH connection. As I use remote NAS with SFTP server to bachup my datas, I note the password is base64 encoded in the...

The crashes happen inside Windows functions: ntdll.dll!RtlQueryPerformanceCounter(), or ntdll.dll!RtlSleepConditionVariableSRW(), or gdi32.dll!InternalDeleteObject() These are not caused by an ordinary software bug. Either your Windows installation got corrupted, or you have a hardware error. It mig...

It is expected to be slower for local transfers, there is no artificial limitation on transfer speed when you transfer locally It's not expected to be slower(*). In worst case, multiple threads will be just as fast as using a single thread. *) Unless you're using an ancient spinning disk, in which ...

It is not untrue, it only transfers 1 file at a time GameOver, 31 Aug 2023, 05:52

You're talking nonsense. Got any proof?

Irrelevent anyway, it still does one file at a time. That's simply not true. Unless im missing something Yes. Not all scenarios benefit from multiple threads: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=performance For local syncs you may not see a large improvement. Sync'ing over the internet? You *...

You need to use backslash, not slash to make it work properly.

Here's the current beta version for testing: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1tg1bacfmlwuyqr/FreeFileSync_13.0_%255BBeta%255D_Windows_Setup.exe

The "< FFS 13 update" is demoted to a "custom" variant. A quick way to get this variant would be to click on "Update >" and uncheck "Use database file to detect changes". Another important change: the "conflict" category is not configurable as a sync...

There's a proper solution to the issue of renamed folders and the "update" variant in the next FreeFileSync version: The "update" variant will be based on "changes" in the same way "two way" is. Thous, FreeFileSync will detect which side was renamed and propag...

The next FreeFileSync version generalizes the way sync configurations are set up: In addition to "comparison results", it will be possible to set sync directions based on "changes": sync-cfg.png Of the three sync variants that FreeFileSync offers by default (two way, mirror, upda...

It's not generally possible to synchronize differences in Unicode normalization forms, e.g. if the target is a macOS-hosted network share (which internally converts everything to decomposed), or for a Samba-hosted share (which converts everything to precomposed). Also, the motivation for doing so is...

The character "ό" has two different representations when encoded via Unicode, both of which should be considered equivalent by applications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence Precomposed form: \u03cc Decomposed form: \u03bf\u0301 but if I copy the filenames in a text editor...

You can even select multiple files at once: FreeFileSync will detect patterns and highlight the file name similarities: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=tips-and-tricks#multi-rename

The view filter section would become quite bloated. I'm not sure this is the best solution:

I think "moved/renamed" files belong to category "updated". This has been changed for the next version.
The question is if instead they should get their own view category on the file grid.

What output do you get when you try to start the installer via command line?

Extract both files, installer and key file into the same directory, without renaming any one of them. Then run the installer.

Directories are expected to be traversable beginning with the base folders. In your case you would have to set "\lorem\ipsum\dolor\" as a base folder.
