FreeFileSync Forum

Hoovering your mouse over any of the six Action-icons may also help.

Your response to my post is, in fact, how I also understood it. I may not have worded it correctly, as more specifically it is almost a local setting under a local sync-pair. We se…

@xCSxXenon; Thanks. I'll have to use Multi-commander then and search for duplicate files afterwards.

Hi there all, So I would like to place my question regarding the FreeFileSync and the ability to retrieve files from multiple ftp sites to one local specific folder. So my setup, I…

The syntax looks OK, including the share/path part. However, I don't know if a WD NAS is case-sensitive; I know Linux is. So, perhaps your problem is in /workflow/ versus /WORKFLOW…

[Quote] I cannot verify if it still checks and notifies automatically, as I haven't used the free version in a long time. Other than that, yes you would just have to manually find,…

Why would you not be allowed to distribute your software while not distributing the software your software depends on? The world is e.g. full of software that depends on Windows. Y…

I have this in my cron and it works correctly with my donation edition. 0 23 * * * DISPLAY=:0 /opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync /home/secret/something.ffs_batch > /dev/null 2>&1 I use…

[Quote] This doesn't change what RTS monitors. What OP wants to do isn't possible without having that file in its own directory

Do your due diligence. [URL] (and some more) Particularly read Zenju's (the author of FFS) replies on why it is (at least presently) near impossible.

You're totally right! I suspected my little idea was not gonna hold up (but the hubris of noobs is great), I just started using this great program yesterday after being frustrated …

Thanks a lot! That was the problem!

> Shouldn't ? the RTS be running a BatchDriveFtp.ffs_real rather then _batch? No, upon detecting any changes in the monitored folder(s) (if supported), RTS launches its command lin…

[Quote] LOL I like the comment. I can see both sides of the argument. SharePoint adds metadata to the file I believe so it can be tracked no matter where it is in SharePoint, i.e. …

I don't know OC, but it would seem to be something like OC.exe %item_path% or OC.exe -path %item_path% or the like [URL] I'd set up a hotkey solution, first, & once that is working…

Btw if anybody wonders - the "donation" edition is NOT compatible with the flathub distribution - ie you can't upgrade your license to use multiple connections & use the flathub re…

Hello I'd like to group the sessions by subgroup in a tree view. Thanks

> Make a description for each solution This forum is not your servant ...

Ah, you mean in specifying your left-right base location? In that case you can simply specify C:\Users\dub\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\ and its counterpart as your left, respectiv…

There's an inconsistency in the code that skips the "synchronizing folder pair message" when there's nothing to do for a folder pair, except when the DB file needs to be saved. Arg…

a batch script is more than likely a way better option to do that

For synching just a single file FFS may be a bit of overkill. But nevertheless: You can use the FFS [URL]. Replace the default Include Filter of * (= everything) by the (path+) fil…

[Quote] That would be the sensible thing to do.

look at the erroe you get vs the error i get ..probably symlink cannot be copyed from windows to nix: [Quote] [URL]

[URL] RTS doesn't work when monitoring a Google Drive location. You can have RTS monitor just the local directory, it is up to you to determine if that is sufficient for your use. …

Since you aren't the developers at all Plerry and xCSxXenon (I don't know if you are programmers at all) I won't address you anymore. I apologize to the actual programmer @Zenju. T…

Thanks!!

[Quote] Having the client in Italian I didn't understand what "starred" meant: on the client in Italian you have to enter the "Organizza" menu and then "Aggiungi a Speciali". I see…

He probably extracted the "portable" installation into C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync

@dpeteual: Why literally repeat exactly what is [URL]?

That's a great solution then if someone doesn't want to keep all their files locally. Thanks xCSxXenon :)

I don't know a good alternative that could be used instead of the MAC. Unfortunately you are one of only a handful of people for which the current MAC address-based checking doesn'…

[Quote] Shouldn't matter since the action icon shown by FFS indicates that the files exist only on the right side. It must be something with the paths, as always lol

If you are renaming/moving files, FFS can detect that and avoid duplicating the file on the destination. FFS isn't a duplicate finder though, so make sure you are renaming/moving t…

And I was dumb - I didn't realise filters persisted between sessions. I was on [Last Session] (the default) and it remembered some irrelevant filters from an older session I'd had …

[Quote] Exactly! "file.txt" and " file.txt" will be shown as a renamed file on a single row rather than two rows (1. exists left only, 2. exist right only), in the same way that "F…

Still not what you're wanting then, i.e., directly from within the GUI, but if you still start from a batch file, & you can do the BEFORE before, & then you can pass the wanted .ff…

Thank you!
