You can use a single *.ffs_batch file for your sync(s). - You can invoke FreeFileSync (FFS) opening said *.ffs_batch file as a scheduled job on user login - and define a RealTimeSy…

I set FFS to NOT Save when prompted and basically remove them manually like you and switch back to it, loads it right back up / doesn't prompt to save and screw me up

[Attachment] my batch jobs look like this this way I can ALWAYS recover files I catalog the Deletes with whereisit, so I can see if the deleted folders are HUGE (then I know there …

FreeFileSync does not have any limit on file path length. But your file system might have one.

This sounds quite specific. Besides, it sound like you are trying "solve" a result of a problem instead of solving the problem itself (by using a connection method/setting able to …

See the difference in the Action shown for the different Categories for the different sync variants. Move your mouse over a Category or corresponding Action to see the tooltip.

When two folders are synchronised they should be real equal or the difference should be stated! FFS creates hidden sync.ffs_db. It is the file state of a compared folder and repres…

How can I do this???

Hi I just noticed that FFS doesn't start comparing any Folder-pair if just one is blocked, at all. I suggest to postpone the scan of blocked Folder pairs and start by scanning the …

That is the way the Windows batch file works; it waits for the previous command to finish. If don't want the batch file to wait for the previous command to finish, use the batch fi…

Agree -- this really stings when it happens. IMO any operation that consumes a lot of time or resources shouldn't be dismissed without confirmation. Of course, "a lot" is subjectiv…

If "fail-safe file copy" was active (= default) when the sync was interrupted, you're good, since it exists precisely to avoid data corruption in cases like yours.

Hello Is it possible to send by email LOG of FFS? So we can monitor that replication went OK without having to connect to remote FFS host? Thank you

Assuming you use Windows, you can create (and store) the correct identity (user/password combination) for the network location in the Windows Credential Manager.

Yes, this will be fine.

See: [URL] RunWithBackgroundPriority might help. To change between day and night handling, probably you'll need to play with WindowsScheduler, as the param is set in GlobalSettings…

I had the same question, but I see no one provided a comment yet.

RealTimeSync (RTS) will not trigger a FreeFileSync (FFS) sync as soon as a file in the monitored folder(s) has changed. Launching FFS will be "armed" upon detecting such change, bu…

Save and run your syncs as *.ffs_batch files. See the "Attention" text in [URL] item 1.

Hello fiends, 1) Is possible to synchronize only the files of a certain date for example today? 2) If the above is possible, how to recognize if it is a new file so that the proces…
