FreeFileSync Forum

Hello, After I've checked precisly, I found that I have, by mistake, changed my source and target directory - this is the reason why I had the problem - but I only figured it now; …

When I did the last update to version 11.27 around 10/17/22 that seemed to fix this issue. I've been dealing with it for most of 2022 and it seems to work again.

Read [URL] (2nd paragraph). The RTS Idle time has nothing to do with AFK, but just with files being created or modified within the RTS monitored folders.

[Quote] This is the way it should be, that's why I never purchased again and glad I didn't. Over n out for the next 5 years.

You would have to set up directories that correspond to different timespans. You can then probably utilize the macros in FFS to decide what to do from there. [URL] You could then h…

@xCSxXenon, that was helpful as it remindend me of a proceeding I already had made some years ago, using a symlink to my folder to be synced to OneDrive. You achieve that by using …

Than worked! Thanks, Plerry.

Good morning, I have a NAS managed via raspberry with OpenMediaVault e FreeFileSync is launched from a server running Windows Server 2012 and performs two mirror operations at diff…

Hello Everyone, This forum and many others have been extremely helpful to me in setting up my sync. I would like to consolidate my findings from numerous threads into one. Backgrou…

Many thanks

Weird for sure... Just run a compare and see what the conflicts are, then decide what to do with them from that point

@murda > Did you reply to the correct thread? I did. But your later reaction regarding the tape library clarified your initial question. You are really talking about order at file …

Run the .run file I believe. Some people have had to run it from Terminal. FFS will check for updates once a week and have an 'auto-update' button when it finds one. That is the ca…

Thanks to the interventions. I think the issue has already been resolved. I definitely have to have internet to activate the donation version.

So you are wanting it to upload to OneDrive from the source, then move it from OneDrive to the second computer and delete from OneDrive to free up space? I'm sure it's possible wit…

You can have FFS run a command On Completion (see the [URL]), However, any such command will "hit" all files in scope, not just the ones just copied over or updated. You could also…

The feature only works per folder pair and their subfolders. You could move a file 100 folders up/down/across and the feature will work as long at the start and end locations are u…

Hopefully you will find some time to fix it in future. The URL you reference is already used and integrated into the PR [URL] You just have to fix the last things of that PR. I can…

I had noticed something odd about the task - even though the account was using to create the tasks was a domain admin account, the task aways wanted to be saved to run as an accoun…

Wow, I thought wxWidgets 3.2 dropped gtk2. At least the Debian package suggests that they only bother to compile wxWidgets 3.2 against gtk3. [Code]

Hello, is there a possibility to work with Freefilesync when you have different 2FA clouds? For example: STRATO = PIN via app or GOOGLE = changing PIN or FIDO2 USB stick. Enrosadue…

Using version 127, I managed after a number of tries by changing the direction from "delete on the right" to "copy to the left". It took a number of tries because the change didn't…

I see. But as far as git is concerned, will I ever run into a situation where both sides are updated but different git files are modified on each side and FFS ends up merging the w…

[Quote] You can set up all of that with FFS. Just make sure to exclude the versioned files from sync.

Ok, I see know. I didn't get the details before. But which function has the small button next to the filter button with the arrow to the right? For users who don't have a mouse wit…

Great idea xCSxXenon, indeed it uses the excluded list inside FFS, "reverse it" and allows to identify and remove all those files. This is a very good workaround. Thanks.

As mentioned, some of the apps I'm using opened it's data file and save without changing their content, thus caused the modified date to be updated. Thus, it would be great to have…

Ah, I see... If you want to keep both versions in their locations, just exclude them from the sync?

[Quote] I missed that! Keeping a backup of the key and retaining an installer is fine, you probably know what you are doing if you get to this type of service. What I don't like is…

De-dupe is a feature of the file-system and there is no way that I am aware of to do what you are thinking. The de-dupe works by having a "reference table" of binary data so simila…

This patch will permit to build freefilesync with any curl version >= 7.66.0 on the system. Hopefully you can merge this into your source code. Principle is always the same when yo…

Permit reproducible builds by use of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH Currently the code relies on __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros. This prevents to have reproducible build because these values chan…

Thanks a lot! I forgot about the right click...

It seems that are all items only living on right (updated) side are compared backwards with left side. In my opinion these is not neccessary on update mode (or also user defined mo…

While it'd be great to be able to do this directly from the source and destination files and folders menu, that method does sound great to get something going in the meantime. Than…

Thanks much. Sorry, didn't know this was covered before. I was able to do it with a Powershell batch file.

Hi, is it possible to enable/disable DACL/SACL per batch job? If not, it will be nice to add such feature in future version. I have some directories that I need to synchronise with…

Seems like this request got lost, so *push* - thank you. If this is not possible yet, please move it to "General Diskussion" which according to the description is rather a "Feature…
