FreeFileSync Forum

Oh, now I understand. That's exactly the sort of problem I was worried about. Someone created a flathub ID as Zenju. The appearance is that it's official, but it's not. That's how …

What is the importance of last access time in linux? I thought it was customary to disable that with noatime in the fstab file. It's commonly recommended to do that to reduce wear …

ha ok sorry for the topic, i understand, i need to Wait One Month after installing the Licence to unlink the computer . Thx Sorry ^^

Proposed before, and declined. That is no longer a syncing scenario, and FFS is for syncing. You could messily get it working by pointing every folder in a path to the same destina…

In addition to xCSxXenon's suggestions: If the scope of all above syncs is all the same (the same set of files/folders is to be synced) it might be better to designate one of the a…

[Quote] Thanks

File contents compares the bits. It will always be significantly longer than the others. Comparing sizes is just to determine if the files are different, it has nothing to do with …

Yes this is a known Windows bug(?)/limitation: [URL] [Quote]

Ah!...I'm an idiot....I apologize.

[Quote] Zenju, would you be able to offer a discount for .EDU customers? We would likely want at least 100 and maybe 200 licenses if we can afford them. The $20 each is way too muc…

Thanks a lot I will give rclone a try.

Just installed the free version in Debian 13. I uses Mate, dark for a theme. File/directory names (white on white) is unreadable. Don't see a way to change other than OS theme chan…

OK, this request has not been updated for a long time. Any plans for implementing this feature in the future? Formal enhancement request?

This is what I wound up with: A Windows batch file that’s configured as the command to run when an RTS sync completes, which deletes all but the last 25 logs: [Code] There’s probab…

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…

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…
