I am trying the RealTimeSync option How often do you do the directory comparison? the 10 seconds that appear when you configure it? Thank you ---- Estoy probando la opción de RealT…

That is the reason why FFS has a manual page (see the link above) on the topic.

I would like to Donate and use the Portable edition. Can I just confirm that FFS no longer has a time limit on Donation Edition updates? Does it matter how much you donate? I am re…

I just realized my error In one of my target folders I omitted the colon after the drive letter. Pls pardon the overhead here. I ran a successful backup.

Only in that a "→" character was being used instead of (lets say) ascii chars like "-->", that then ended up not decoding "correctly" on the users end (for whatever reason, & I don…

Nevermind, after a few uninstall and installs it workx. Thanks

[Quote] Yeah, how do you think I do start the batch? [Quote]

On the Synchronization Form My primary use is backing up remote servers operation data back to a NAS system, which takes hours, even when just Syncing. Typically this is a daily ta…

[Quote] Another [possibly] straight-forward solution might be to have a colors.ini file and name each type of control used in FFS. In colors.ini you then specify hexadecimal RRGGBB…

@Plerry Thank you for your quick reply!

*bump* two more FFS updates have been released since I last checked on dark mode status. Dark Mode is not yet included in FFS. Yet it is one of the most requested, commented and vi…

Oops, apologies.

I wonder if a hash like BLAKE3 is used for content comparison. While still slower than file date and size, BLAKE3 is definitely faster than, for example, the various flavors of SHA…

Based on the links you provided, there are many other simpler solutions to fix that issue. Regardless, answering your initial question, setting a scheduled task to every minute is …

[Quote] I will look into it myself a bit then, I may remember to update with my findings about reaching out to ClamAV. And for your reasoning around Linux, it's very simple actuall…

This isn't a feature request or bug report but rather a curiosity. I started the transition form Windoze to Linux (Zorin and Mint21) a while ago and noticed a difference in the way…

Can FreeFileSystem make possibility signaling user on first side that file is open on the second side of the synchronized pair? Usually it is doing by attempt to open file on the s…

Thank you. Looking forward to the fix in the next version.

Thanks for the answer! The problem happens because my Chrome is portable. I installed it in normal mode and it worked, thank you in the same way

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

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,…

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.
