FreeFileSync Forum

Hello! I recently tried to access a log file to check the synchronization history, and when trying to open the HTML file in Chrome, it reported that it could not find the file (bec…

Thank you Zenju. The change looks good - I look forward to the next release. peter

Fixed for the next version. It's a wxWidgets bug in their WAV file parsing.

[Quote] This has been happening for many years. I moved almost 8 years ago and remember it happening at my old house. Also I had i7 towers with premium components, but about 2 year…

If you are not happy with the default settings (when defining a sync configuration via "New" ), you can always define a sync configuration according to your own preference and save…

Just to mention that Winmerge has an option that matches just on Modified Date (meaning Name+Modified) and may perhaps be of help in your task. You could easily do a folder (with s…

When you've done a compare and it's lined up the two trees of files ready to action the file changes, there are buttons at the bottom you can toggle on/off viewing Creates, Updates…

Thanks for the tip with Kopia. Unfortunately Cryptomator doesn't work with FFS.

Confirmed. Even if you manually add the . to the directory name, still not recognized. Even a UNC path, \\?\C:\TMP\BRU\dir_dot., which seems like it would work, then fails when it …

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,…

Hello. I'm new to this forum. Me and a friend use FreeFileSync for several years. Here my friend is also interested in a “dark mode” of the Windows version because he has problems …

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

Thanks for your answer. The intention to do it this way is based on the advantage of using the QNAP NAS as a device with sufficient CPU power, which must (can) already be part of t…

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]

IMAGINE that every folder has 50+GB of data when combined Time and processing power is wasted. Can you forget for a moment the Last sync date, because i have cloned this config. Jo…

[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. …

Correct, the limits have be graciously removed as of now [URL] Just a note, it does not explicitly state one way or the other, but Zenju is awesome

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…
