FreeFileSync Forum

You can't. You would have to exclude all the other subdirectories of AppData. You are better off creating a second pair where you set "c:\users\david\AppData" on the left and "x:\u…

I have started using your program and I love it. I would like to propose including a ? (always ask) to decide what to do if I have accidentally deleted a file and want to recover i…

Hello, I'd like to propose an improvement for the "Send To" functionality, since I'd like to use FreeFileSync as a copy job handler from out of a file explorer window. If I mark se…

One difference I noted between these two is that the flatpak version (apparently?) does not include command line support. If you need to run any bash script with freefilesync (for …

Because if you rename/update a file, FFS doesn't necessarily know that you don't want it to be a new file. The update sync prevents deletions, but detecting moved files requires fi…

Is there a way to add title or description to a log from within freeFileSync. The date and time is important, but during development I need to know the state of my code when saved.…

Good to hear! Such a weird thing since nothing has really changed on a macro level, but oh well, at least the sound is gone

[Quote] Hello, 1) As a general approach, if you can mount it as a drive in Winblows, then FreeFileSync can handle it. 2) ALSO, FreeFileSync has the "cloud" button in GUI that works…

Cool. Have you thought about writing logs to mySQL or something? Or the Windows Event Logs?

Personally, I kinda like parsing HTML sometimes. Of course, I don't parse form HTML-->TXT files, I parse from HTML-->SQLServer. If you guys ever need to parse HTML, I *HIGHLY* reco…

oh, I love DFS. I really need to find some good bloggers on the topic of DFS. it works FLAWLESSLY for many things I want to do: - have a S:\Clients directory - have a S:\Personal d…

you mean, like you use a 'DNS C-name' to do this? Is that what you mean by 'dummy entry in the HOSTS file'? Yeah, I've used a lot of C-names over the years. I couldnt' survive with…

Following syncs should not have this problem

Have you tried the "Verify Copied Files" option? You have to change the entry in GlobalSettings.xml from <VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="false"/> to <VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="true"/>…

Please add WebDAV support.

Is it possible to sync timestamps (without copying)? I have over 20TB to download from Gdrive and repopulate a NAS. For some reason the timestamps on some files are out of sync so …

Very good

[Quote] Just check the mail on the second email account registered at PayPal? Or do you mean how to change the email address set up in PayPal?

[URL] Once you get a network share working, FFS can use that network location just like any other storage location. Mapping the network share using the hosting computer's name is u…

Correct! You can not select to ignore only specific errors. But you can always check the FFS log file afterwards for any other erros.

[Quote] I'll look into it as I updated from an x86 installed (paid) version to the newest version all (and still have some issues with slow sync) to see if it installed the right v…

Should be fixed in FFS 11.18: [URL]

Unlikely that this was actually a solution to a problem, probably a coincidence.

Hello, it would be very handy to see the upload speed (like "2.3 MB/sec") when uploading files to FTP/SFTP. Please consider this in future development. Best regards OLLI

Hello Zenju, maybe is it possible to have a Option in the settings-menu with: Show Errors at the top of the Logfile: Yes|No This is because i ran freefilesync with my own script an…

Ok, I just tested FileGee, if i set "incremental backup" to automic delete old version, it will delete old copy even after failed backup.

Aha! Will fix this in the settings. Thanks!

What I'm seeing is that delta transferring requires data to be stored in chucks/blocks and that requires some control over the remote location. FFS is designed as a tool that is on…

I suppose this would apply to any command-line driven invocation of FFS, but anyways, I have two displays. Normally when I do syncs, I open them on the secondary display. However, …

Oh, seen it now. Sync progress has been moved from sync window to the main title bar. Thanks

The hot mirror option means that I have to have a computer and do work at the offsite location which I'd prefer not to do. Think bank safe deposit box and the like. The rotating of…

No, FFS has absolutely no way to tell what you are using for syncing. Your set of files will transfer significantly faster on my 10gb network than it will on whatever you are trans…

I'm trying to sync my home directory, ~/, which contains most of my life's work: videos, web sites, programs, statistical analyses, papers, etc.

So updated to version 11.17 (Linux) this morning and something I always thought would be useful has been added - if your last sync was that day, rather than saying 'today' as when …

I've added showing percent after the file name (but with a 2 second delay, and only if the remaining time is at least 3 seconds, so that it won't become a distraction when copying …

Thanks for the helpful reply. My apologies for the unintentional double post.

Why double post? [URL]

Thank you, xCSxXenon! That all makes sense. :)

I have just started using this amazing app, thank you to all the devs. But it seems to me that my transfer flat-lines when I leave my desk and the monitor shuts off. Why is that? […

On your donation page, you can increase the device count to 5 and it will tell you how long the donation period will be active. One year for 3 devices is 20 Euros so one year for f…

I ran a test with 1,000,000 empty txt files and noticed a significant decrease after about 330,000 files. It went from 1,200 items/s to <500. For me, the active time for the drive …

cmd doesn't really have a good way to go to sleep and allow it to be interrupted. Nvm, this is easy Run a CHOICE cmd that defaults to yes after 20 seconds, and set it so choosing n…

Go to the settings for the sync you are running, there is an "automatic retries" option.

It won't hurt anything, maybe a speed decrease

I am surprised your NAS even allows you to write the its RecycleBin. But given the fact that the NAS allows you to do so, I advice against doing this, as the content of you NAS Rec…
