FreeFileSync Forum

Yes, I understand if another FFS will modify the source, it is better to lock, but in my case the flow of the copy will be always from source to backup computers, FFS while never m…

Is it possible to delete obsolete sync destinations from the pulldown in Linux? The manual says hover and delete. But on Linux, this seems not to do anything...

I no longer see an expiration on my donation page, so maybe removed?

1. No 2. Unsure 3. No

I have done some tests and yes, it works perfect, it is immediate if I create, modify or delete some file, it is notify at the moment.

Hi everyone, I am using freefilesync for synchronising two remote folders and I must admit it is working quite well. I just have a request, if possible : I have made several tests …

Sounds good, any way to improve detect moved/renamed files should be considered.

FFS remembers the last place you saved/opened them

Yes

[Quote] Now there's something for FFS to improve! FFS should first consider the HOME environment variable, then fall back to getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir. This is default Linux behav…

There will never be something like that.

What differences? Syntax differences are the only thing I really encounter, which anyone that can successfully use Linux probably knows already.

You can just click the '-' symbol to remove a folder pair. It doesn't permanently remove it from the config unless you click 'save' after removing a pair.

Gotcha! You can only set a shortcut to run as admin if it points to an exe. It sounds like you have a shortcut to the .ffs_batch file, which is why you can't check that box. You wo…

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

This option is available in tools like Carbonite and Gs Richcopy 360 , maybe there is way via FSS but really have no idea

Hello, Is planed to intergrate a webbased console for using FreeFileSync on a Server ? Thank you.

Do you know what a VPN is used for? It's more than just a "privacy" or "pirating" tool. It's used to connect to a remote network to access its local resources, like connecting to a…

I want to donate but can't use PayPal, and won't use my credit card. Do you have a Patreon account perhaps? Love supporting Indies like you. Cheers!

"File content" comparison will do that: [URL] PS: Unless you've pulled the power plug, it's unlikely there is any data corruption, and the sync most likely did finish just in time.

Unfortunately this did not work either. I modified some music styles (genres) in Audio Expert, validated the change using MP3TAG which showed the change and then sync. Changes not …

Using Two-way sync, FFS will only delete files if those same files were (non-FFS) deleted from the other side. Otherwise FFS will copy those files to the side where they do not exi…

Yes, I know? That's why I said, "that's a whole program dedicated to a single file type." Setting up FFS to not detect timestamps isn't the fix either. Read the whole thread again.…

Ctrl+T or context menu allows to copy selected files to another place. It would be nice to have the equivalent move option,too.

The tmp files are on a file-by-file basis, not for whole directories.

Will be nice to have a NAS/SHARE authentication instead of user authentication. I do a backup from different NAS and servers and each one have is own authentication. I save each us…

Allie, good idea! I have the same request. I always display the conflicts so the show conflicts buttons would be better for finding the conflicts in a long list of files. An option…

[Quote] Thanks. Knowing that, I feel better.

ah - sorry - i made a mistake on the example. What i actually need is "something*somethingelse*.*". So a match at the start AND in the middle. my original post of *-thingtosearch*.…

[Quote] Thanks for the links! I totally agree that this is the fault of a user/dev who decides to create a file with "shady" characters that don't play well across multiple filesys…

To reproduce: • Set up source folder (e.g., \\MyServer\MyResource\MyFiles), set up target folder (e.g., \\MyBackupServer\MyResource\MyFiles) • Set up source folder (e.g., \\MyServe…

Nope! FFS can only tell if identically named files in identical (relative) file positions are identical or not. For your use you would need to use a tool like Beyond Compare.
