FreeFileSync Forum

Title says it all! I've seen it posted in the help forum: [URL] too. This would be an amazing feature to add, and one that I would absolutely donate for. I have yet to find a piece of softwa...

As already stated above, assuming the Cloud for both syncs above is one and the same location, it will only contain a single ffs_db file with relevant info on both the sync from/with/to PC1 ...

Hi there. I've been a regular user of FFS, which makes my everyday life and my backups so much easier ; I registered/contributed a couple of times, and it's 100% worth it :) That being said,...

I think it's very important and necessary to have an option to enable FFS after password verification to secure the accounts and drives linked to FFS. This is very common in software that ha...

The above reads as a fairly illogical way of running syncs. The more logical approach is to run all syncs versus a single "central" location, e.g. C. So, you would sync A<=>C and B<=>C, but ...

You saved me in this hard time with covid-19. Your program has helped my small business be able to keep on running remotely! I cannot thank you enough! I will be donating as soon as I can. A...

This is going to be related to what version of the curl library you have. The CURLE_QUIC_CONNECT_ERROR was added in 7.69 per [URL]. Zenju likes to follow upstream projects very closely, and ...

[Quote] Thank you for your reply. Yes, it is necessary to retain documentation rights for existing documents as well as inheritance rights

Yes, I just wanted to mention it in case someone finds it useful.

I switched... everything, and it's still not working. I'm running FFS on the source computer, now, not the destination. I'm using SMB / Windows File Sharing over VPN, rather than FTP. If I c...

Hello, I saw no responses. Maybe an attach explain better my idea. Into Destination.ffs_db I mean just include the Source files&folders structure, date&time and size. Regards

+1 for me too :)

Thanks for the reply. Yes I could run them consecutively, but that's extra work on my part - I want the tool to do the hard work :) - of course, that means if I want to add a new folder pair...

Related: [URL] FFS is using: [Code] From there on it's up to either wxWidgets or the operating system to pick a decent color (which is apparently not happening in the example).

Macros? [URL]

It's also a very wrong statement and I apologize. The computer I was using has DLP software on it and that was tripping up the USB copying. Moved to another computer and now it's copying way...

Hi Plerry, thanks for your reply. Then I have to think about another way.

zlib can be a performance bottleneck on fast networks or when the data is already compressed (e.g. zip), therefore it will be an option in FFS 10.24, off by default: [URL]

Since a couple of months, I use PatchMyPC and am very satisfied with it. It means a lot less of rather tedious work. It doesn't update FreeFileSync, because it apparently doesn't know that t...

Then it seems you really need to look into a command-line copy and move tool with the ability for file verification. TeraCopy seems to have that ability, but may not be the only one.

Hi, I'm getting what I believe to be a false positive by a Microsoft AV scanner on the FFS donation edition 10.23 and getting some grief from our security officer about that because I'm usin...

May be you do not face long paths in your synchronizations and that's why current representation is quite comfortable for you?.. For example, consider some very deeply nested subfolder in yo...

I have set the backup revisions keep 7 days. But I also want a copy for every month and keep 6 month. How to keep a copy like this: FileA.xls 2020-04-23.xls FileA.xls 2020-04-22.xls FileA.xl...

Or, if large files files need to be replaced, you may be suffering the side effects of FFS's fail-safe file copy feature. See e.g. [URL].

Thanks Plerry for your answer, yes, this is the topology: (folder)Laptop1 <=> PC (folder) PC <=> Laptop2 (folder) PC acts as a server, always up and running with not logged in user, in the b...

Can we use Remote PC HDD sync with FreeFileSync. for example: I am on International Tour at Dubai. Having Lot of files on My Laptop which I wanted to do Backup with My Home PC at New York. S...

I think FFS can do that, and cloud-specific features like this would increase the value of the tool. I am a software developer, and my logic is the following. The Google Drive Backup and Syn...

See the list of FFS exit codes in the [URL].

Well, at least you duplicated [URL].

In most cases, FFS is able to detect moved or renamed files, provided: The files were previously synced by FFS within the scope of the left and right base location or any of its subfolders. ...

Hello all, under [URL] you can find a new version of the VB script with a little bug fix. Kind Regards TheExpert

I would like to kindly ask you to remove or allow the user to disable "<last session>" from the list in the configuration window. If someone maintains order in their configuration, they rare...

All of which is irrelevant when used for (at least less frequent) backup purposes (assuming you let HDs hibernate in between backups).

I am aware of the cmd solution, and it is easy but more complicated than FFS ;-) thanks anyway. I did it the Zenju-way and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

[Quote] Perfect, at least FFS has (good?) company. :)

Why are the errors logged twice in the plain text log files? It's nice that there's a short list of the error messages when opening and reading the log file manually but when the files are p...

Compression before transfer would need to be performed at the send/source-side and decompression after transfer at the receive/target-side, and as such would require software to run at both ...

I need group members to have permission to write. The server tried various ways to set the default umask, such as alternate-sftp -u 002, pam_umask.so umask=002, and modify the umask of login...
