FreeFileSync Forum

What you describe above does not seem to be a "first do this, then do that" approach, but instead a re-definition of the de-facto industry-standard that an asterix ("*") stands for…

Hello, in version 10.4, i can't use %variable% in the filters. It would be nice, to use system and/or user variables of the environment in the include/exclude filters, to be more s…

Hi Forum, There are few alternatives to manage backups in LTO in the LTFS filesystem. Adding a couple of improvements to the FFS could be feasible. To be able to make backups to LT…

I would also like this feature.

FreeFileSync stores the data for deletions and renames in a file in the root directories that are being synced. I do not want these extra files but a central database. Is this poss…

Hi there, just an idea that would make RTS even more perfect as a backup-tool: I understand, that you can setup tasks in Windows to execute FFS-batch files. In Windows, that is not…

The sync.ffs_lock handling has only been implemented for local file systems and network shares, because most of the technical infrastructure needed isn't available for FTP. For exa…

FreeFileSync is exclusively a graphical application as far as I know. This means that you need a working display (normally X11, or Wayland nowadays). An application normally works …

I often use FFS for file manipulation, not just backup, but here is my problem - I would like to MOVE FILES I do a backup as normal, then I say what is = (filter) I want to select …

Hi there! Firstly. I love this software, thank you for what you do! My setup is pretty simple: 2 Windows 10 laptops NAS (WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra: Firmware 2.30.196) 2 phones running …

I think I recall there is a way to include or not include subfolders. However, my recollection is it involves the Filter page and entering something in there. Usually I have to com…

Hello, I'd like to make a Two Way Sync batch file for RealTimeSync which gives me a huge control over updates going from right to left (not automatic), while it keeps updates from …

Thanks, bimaloy30. This is *kind* of what I ended up doing, albeit by digging around manually rather than using find and grep. (I'm still at the Catfish-beginner level of expertise…

I know but if I do not exclude them I got an error message saying that FFS cannot delete those .tmp files because they are open. It only happens in Ubuntu and with NAS shares!

When the program starts, the sftp or ftp configuration icons do not appear, it seems that the option is disabled. The version is 10.4 Cross-Platform File and Folder Synchronization…

I get this too. The peanut gallery comments are not helpful. How about solutions?

The issue has been fixed! Thanks for your report. [URL]

Oh, damn! I tried again and see it now. Seems that you've expanded the webpage horizontally and I don't use my browser in full-screen display, hence why I was missing what you have…

Dear community, This is realy awesome software sync as I know. But, is it posible to make new options for Is see who was (user) create, update and delete the file/folder ? May be w…

Using Windows 64-bit version, trying to save configuration file, e.g. xyz.ffs_gui in, say, F:\ This does not work if F:\ contains a folder named xyz. The program will open folder x…

FFS 10.4 does pretty much everything one could ask for but there is always someone... When using versioning you have three options: Replace, Time Stamp (folder), and Time Stamp (fi…

I think the upstream team, i.e. Zenju and his team, provide the [URL]. All other releases of the software are provided by other individuals, and community distributions don't get t…

Hello, I am new user of FFS. I have tried FFS on this scenario. Database synchronization left folders on 3 Win stations (compare). Right folder on MS server (database). When I adde…

When I installed FFS on my Mac, it never created the XML file needed to modify expert settings. I am a video editor and I need to run FFS with background priority so I can run it w…

I suppose your Version1 is your own way of managing versions in your projects. The most common use of FFS is to have a source-location, e.g. C:/BLABLA/Project that is synced to a m…

Hello, I have been wondering for a while if there is a way to sync files and maintain their modification time and date like robocopy in the CMD of windows. Anything I am missing or…

Just a niggly thing that I'd like to see changed in FFS GUI. As things stand just now if I run FFS GUI and it actually does syncs, in effect actually copies files from the one side…

OK - leave the graph as is - just add that one additional status box and you'll really have improved it significantly IMHO.

Hi.. did you ever receive a reply to this question or did you get your answer through trial and error? I'm looking for the same answers that you were..

I would like to propose extended versioning features of the sync. 1. Timestamp format customizable Add possibility to own format of timestamp. The current one is great, but for all…

I don't know if this has been considered, but I think a graphical file picker would be a big step forward. Yesterday I was thinking about setting up a new mirror job, but the thoug…

Hi, any updates regarding this topic? First at all Junctions do NOT need administrative rights. This is the reason I usually use them instead of SymLinks. It would be great if Free…
