FreeFileSync Forum

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…

It will be very convenient if an up to date package of FreeFileSync for Chocolatey is available for install: [URL] I hope that the developer will find time to release it.

It is possible to use a collaboration of FreeFileSync and rclone to sync with Yandex.Disk: [URL] rclone is capable to mount Yandex.Disk as a virtual drive in OS.

Aren't they just using VHDs? Which are just regular files, so FFS would work fine. You may need to run as admin and enable copying locked files using VSS.

That's a good idea! automatic update syncs and then periodic manual mirror syncs, keeps the size in check still.

Right, done.

Okay... You can highlight a selection and sync it on its own. [URL]

Hi, is there a reason RealTimeSync doesn't have the filters feature? It triggers on all kinds of ephemeral files, like *.crdownload (Chrome download temporary placeholder file). Wo…

Nextcloud sync option would be great!

I just transferred my 2 terabyte Network NAS to a portable 2 terra byte SSD. It took 16 hours. NOT A Glitch, or a problem of any kind. THANK YOU FreeFileSync..... William

I just donated and on my Linux (Debian Bullseye) version 11.16 the interface is terrible. White text on very light grey background. I've looked in the .css .rc .xml files and there…

^^^ Correct You left the box checked when saving it as a ffs_batch config.

I think i understand... Can you attach and post the log file after running into this issue? Also, if you run a compare, then make changes, then synchronize, FFS won't recognize tho…

I agree with Zenju with that new info, almost like something that 'buffers' the data for some intermediary processing.

[Quote] Thanks very much !

There should only be one sync.ffs_db file per sync config, how many do you have?

it works thank you!!

The best advice anyway: Run your FFS (backup) syncs under dedicated user credentials, only this dedicated sync user having write access to the backup location; all other users only…

Fixed, thanks!

Ok, I'm a rookie here. I cannot hide this. :) Ty again.

Should be gone after you've checked for updates manually, then restarted FFS: menu -> help: check for updates

Thanks for the report! Issue has been fixed: [URL]
