FreeFileSync Forum

[Quote] Okay, thanks.

Thank you for your response. What I'm trying to say is that if the parent directory has facl permissions, or the group in the parent directory has SGIDs set, then newly created dir…

Perhaps a more direct way to assess the impact of your Exclude Filter entries is to turn things around. If you put (only) your proposed Exclude Filter entries in your Include Filte…

Hi :) For those interested, here is a post (in French language) in which FreeFileSync is mentioned: [URL] [Image] Bye

@Plerry, you're too good!

A lot of smaller "modules" is actually better for troubleshooting and stability. One issue can't cause a cascade of symptoms. Sure, implementation becomes more time-consuming, but …

It does not, you would have to set up a folder pair for each of the instances that occurs

Hi. I received the Donation Edition for Linux. It's running as the regular free one. I think a key is missing. How to run it on Linux with the Extended Donation Version features?

Thank you. I'm logging in the system with the Ubuntu GUI Gnome. I then open a terminal as sudo. The DISPLAY env is =:0 I run FFS from the CMD. I get now the error "protocol error".…

Thank you very much, I didn't know it was possible to synchronize multiple configurations at once. It is certainly a better approch! Best

I'm guessing it depends on the phone and how the storage protocols are implemented. I have no issues with large amounts of updates on my Note 10+

[URL] Oops sorry; I no longer followed the thread no because the goal is to quickly see more clearly so that doesn't really help for that I just saw a new version ... maybe on the …

I've installed v.11.3 and found in the filter an automatic retry and set to 2 seconds. This option solves the mentioned problem. Hope this could be helpful to somebody else.

That's normal. You can se the box at the bottom-middle with the equal symbol. If you click that, it will display all files/folders that are equal between the left and right. Since …

It works. Thanks to clarify that it covers both.

Definitely thinking the same

You may need to run: "del /ah /f *.ffs_temp"

See also, [URL]. (Though I still like the checkbox idea.)

Hi, Thanks for the info. On the destination side, the files are converted to .symlinks. I believe my organization moves the core data to tape backup which can be manually requested…

Thank you for such quick reply. You mus t be a bot or cyborg ...

Thanks for making FFS available on the Ubuntu/Linux Mint Software Manager. I never had any success installing tar balls. Are there any plans to release a .deb package? Or, is it pu…

Task scheduler works fine though

I cannot get my Google Drive File Stream Files to be recognized by FFS. When I select the folder and do comparison or mirror, it shows that nothing is in my Google Drive File Strea…

I see. I have the 3.1.4 version. But the same command tells me this: [Code] Now checking the other patches.

Thanks! I'll try.

FFS will take the the directory structures into consideration. It does not work in a "flat" mode. Maybe something here, links from there, will give you something to chew on, [URL] …

When we upload an existing file to google drive by a browser like Chrome, it will create a new revision of that file. And, the ID of the existing file is still the same. I think th…

That is the current solution. See here for more info: [URL]

Ooops, my bad! I realize now that I should have pointed to the location where I keep my custom sounds INSTEAD of copying them to the resource directory. !!!

Tests made on linux Mint-20 cinnamon. This command works: [Code] And this command does nothing: [Code] Anyone a hint why? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for getting back... I was using mirror... my trash seems to be working but I think you might be onto something with that link... I've since (nervously) run the most recent u…

This is doing exactly what I wanted. perfect, thx so much

Hi Zenju. I just read through your Vision message (2014?) which explained your philosophical thinking on the creation of FreeFileSync when interviewed by SoundForge. I just want to…

You can, you have to set up the filters for what you want to include/exclude. Do you sync different music each time?

It would be really nice if selecting another configuration/session (left panel) would not clear the search result, or at least show some warning. Had the unfortunate case where it …

Thanks for this new release 11.2, the vertical lines in display are not bad. But I'm a little bit sad to see that directory icons are forced on display even if I choose a "without …

(Depending on the number of sets you are adding, you can drag the "splitter" between the folder sets & the Compare results box, down, temporarily even, to give you greater visibili…

(In the year 2020, & we're still running into Path length issues. In addition to path, in total, there is also a "path segment" limit of 255 characters. So you can't have a file na…

Hello, also looking into synchronizing quicky two folders with many files (160000) but only twice a day. Currently using jfilesync which is not realtime but fast to find the change…

I would like the file time and size of all copied, deleted and replaced files to be added to the log (in addition to their names).

[Quote] Variable drive letters are also supported by RealTimeSync. [Quote] FreeFileSync distinguishes two types of paths: 1. whatever the user enters, e.g. %AppData%\Thunderbird 2.…

Hi, Can you please update the chocolatey package of freefikesync to the latest version (11)? Now the current version is outdated and It will make the life much more easier for IT S…

FFS is a sync program, what you want to do is not really a sync. What you can do is run 'update' which which not delete files off the destination, even if they don't exist on the s…

You can use [URL] to launch FreeFileSync upon e.g. connecting USB resources.

Good luck! Although it looks pretty similar to FFS in use

What a pitty...

[Quote] Thank you very much ! 11.1 version resolved the issue.

[Quote] First of all, the lack of separation of item names and parent folder is not confusing to me, cause its the normal way to give folder and filename in Linux. What I see is th…
