I removed the fingerprint via `ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.2`. I then tried to connect via OpenSSH (i.e., `ssh me@192.168.1.2`) and it gave me the "The authenticity of host '192.168.1.…

Dear Zenju, Please find here a patch to support build with the newer curl 8.16. It will also work with older versions of curl [Code] Regards Origin: [URL]

The LOCK files exist so only a single FFS instance can access as base location at a time. Excluding them manually doesn't do anything, as they are ignored anyway. The are created w…

FFS does not do this. The db files are for keeping track of files in a location for more efficient handling of moving/renaming. A snapshot without the data is not super helpful any…

[Quote] WOW! Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Now I have to figure out how to put it all together. LOL, shesh I have not worked with script editing, shoot, it was back in 83…

Hey all, I’m new to the group, and I’m about a month in with FFS. This software is laid out with a simple design and is easy to use. I love it. I have been editing my music library…

Well, I’ll try to go a bit deeper into what I was getting at. In my Example, about getting the recycle bin not available error. When I flag it to ignore these errors, the log file …

Hello, I am a long term FFS user on Windows, and now that M$ are trying to get me to dispose of some perfectly good devices, I am looking at moving to Linux (I have a number of Lin…

A symbolic link is a fancy shortcut. That being said, depending on the location of the destination, you might not want to synchronize those. Also, you will want to exclude .ld.so w…

[Quote] Thanks for the explanation. I deleted all those files and also the log files and db files that appeared in the recycle bin. The synology NAS recycle bin was re-created on t…

1. A software password is easily broken, and it doesn't protect any data directly. 2. Kind of a thing already, there is a warning for significantly different locations. I do not kn…

i would like to add a sidenote that driver g is google drive and theyre not downloaded on my pc , so to see their hashes or etc , id need to download tens of gigabytes to my laptop…

I had the same problem. I need to make my accounting files available to my accountant. Originally, I just used OneDrive directly, but one day I found the folders nearly empty so ha…

Greetings! In the F8 synchronization settings, there is an option called “Execute command”. I would like to use it to clean up the directory after synchronization. To do this, you …

Click the "-" to remove the other folder pairs, and then simply reload the config to get them back

Dear Zenju, I've been maintaining the Debian package of FreeFileSync for some time now. It is based on the sources tarball that you distribute. I found that in version 13.8 you add…

xCSxXenon, You were right, it was my filter. I was trying to only copy *.xyz files, so empty folders were excluded from being deleted when I deleted all the files, even if the fold…

You are right. I never even tried it without quotes because quotes are so frequently required when paths contain spaces. I didn't try drag/dropping either so I'm glad to know I can…

Even mounting the WebDAV storage in file explorer doesn't help with stability. It's unusable for me. Constant disconnects, file errors and awful upload speeds. The only viable solu…

You can check in the program „Personal Backup“ how you can add a scheduler system to FFS.

My idea was to integrate Features like the three backup methods like in the program „Personal Backup“. Also it would be nice for some other users too. A feature like integrated sch…

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure that there was no way to deal with this directly in the GUI. I will follow your advice.

This is already a feature if you check the box to use a database

Any chances? :)

Hello, I use dozens of .ffs_batch files, and sometimes some of these .ffs_batch files encounter an error, which causes the retry option to activate. I use the retry option with 10 …

No killing explorer in task manager will not remove it, only a clean boot. Additionally, I think it is something to do with sleep settings. I got it again today when the computer w…

ffsimon I followed the method described in the [URL] finally is working again, thanks.

Hey there, I want to join the discussion because I wanted to propose the same - or at least a very similar - feature request just now, and want to give a 👍+1 (not sure if I can vot…

Hi @bob306 For remote access I would recommend the free plan of tailscale. It will give you an IP address for your machine inside your home and another IP address for your remote c…

Plerry, Thanks for the reply. I don't get the option of the lighting bolt because I am running this in Batch mode. So simply put it runs on schedule then presents the dialog with e…

Thank you so much for your reply. When I ran Compare, there was only one file that was misaligned. I deleted it from the target and re-ran the sync: at the end of the process, it a…

[Quote] "I've seen online" that torrent clients can preallocate the space and then the files will be considered at the full size, even if they are partially downloaded. Totally doe…

Hi, I try to get a scheduled job running with systemd timer and freefilesync. I've currently stuck with the following error message in journalctl -xe. [Code] FFS does start just fi…

[Quote] Thank you bgstack15, I didn't notice that the 3.3 was an unstable release, and used the last stable release of wx... I compiled the 3.3 libraries and it worked.

Hello, This was the first time I used colors in my configurations and I realized that when you apply a color to a configuration it resort all configurations by their colors, but I …

The only way for me to have a FAT32 formatted card is buying a card reader and connect it to either a Windows PC or Linux PC. Now Windows generally doesn't allow formatting large S…

After seeing a ton of your posts complaining and suggesting, is FFS the right software for you?

You worded your post horribly if you were attempting to provide feedback and direction for the dev. The original post includes two questions: one asking if your steps were correct …

(Suppose something in that regard would only apply where both ends support same methods...)

There is RunWithBackgroundPriority, though different, & not really "interactive", might afford some help. [URL] (What was I doing... hashing a set of files, & simultaneously copy/p…

Devaluating a well reasoned and explained proposal... that's all?

Noticing some things now that I have the full donation version and can use parallel threads. Parallel threads were actually one of my primary reasons for moving up to this version …

[Quote] What is "substantially different"? When does FFS warn: before syncing, or after? [Quote] I know about Versioning - it's something I don't need usually. What I need is mirro…

Thank you for your detailed reply. I think I understand the concepts of FFS and RTS now (already having found the RTS manual :) ). If I get it right, my idea of a "delayed (and man…

I think I've found the solution. The definition of the remote SMB share was wrong. In typical, illogical Linux fashion, the share has to be: v/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=a…

Thanks, Plerry. As with so many things in Linux especially, it came down to a question of permissions. The NAS was incorrectly mounted, so that root was owner, not me. As soon as I…

I'm a Chinese user. The connection to Google Drive failed. Prompt: Unable to connect to Google Drive. CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Connection timed out after 10016 milliseconds [curl_…

Thanks for confirming that. I also found that double-clicking the red RTS icon in the taskbar causes RTS to show the RTS GUI after it stops the current sync. Then I can run the FFS…
