dont bother with xp, in w7 works fine. Thanks.

And no status message explaining what is currently happending? In this case you may send me a crash dump file captured at some time during the hang, and I should be able to find ou…

Awesome. Thanks!

Thank you, it works :-)

These should get you started: [URL]

I also noticed something today while I was trying to troubleshoot. The Disk speed for the application matches the transfer rate in FFS. I think I may have found my bottleneck. The …

@Louise: Check out the use of Ctrl-T. See [URL] in the section "Copy files selected on the main dialog to an alternate folder and thereby save a "diff":"

I have figured out how to improve my backup workflow. Essentially i use FFS to do an incremental Mirror mode backup from a local subset folder of the corresponding external HD fold…

I have figure out there are several ways to see what files are installed from the package installer. One way is to do a snapshot before the installation and one after and use some …

The 'sync completion' option is already there. You can enter any command you like in the 'On completion' field; see [URL]. If a single-line command, e.g. making a http Post (webhoo…

Interesting. I believe what happened was that your system clock was off by one minute, then during synchronization the clock was adjusted by connecting to an online time server. Th…

What error message do you get when you try to start via the command line?

[Quote] encouraging is different from forcing... :-) :-) Sharing over a network is still available... :-)

Just for the record: multithreaded file copy (and comparison) has been added in FFS 10.0!

Aha, my mistake then. I've updated the program.

Good day everyone, Please can you inform me as to which ftp server is best compatible with freefilesync for remote/offsite sftp tranfers.

Is task scheduling really so difficult that it needs further integration? [URL]

Any replies for this?

Hi, I'm using FreeFileSync 9.9 Build: 09/03/2018 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. When I create a mirror backup FFS creates ffs_tmp folders. For example RecycleBin.6a51.ffs_tmp. I am unab…

I have FFS with this \\Server\Q_Quickbooks - Green Background \\Server\S_Shared - Yellow Background \\Server\F_Fax - Red Background I would like the comparison results to be in dif…

This is a consequence of the latest changes in FFS 10.0 related to multithreading. When paused FFS will finish processing the active item in the background and only block when tryi…

[Quote] This problem has been resolved with FFS 10.0. FFS will now use exactly as many connections as configured, both during comparison (earlier versions used one connection per f…

[Quote] That's great, but I wouldn't give too much on AV flags. Currently at least one version of MS AV is flagging all versions of FreeFileSync with some alleged installer malware…

Yes, I know. I'd be all for it. But those "ancients" I'm dealing with are not. I know, that this suggestion is just treating the symptom and not the root cause, but the root causes…

What would you do if you could invert the selection? Is there some scenario that is currently too difficult? As a workaround you can CTRL+A and then CTRL+L-Mouse on the items you d…

I am using FFS to back up my local Drive to a remote server via sftp, this means that I have to transfer a large amount of data with a relatively small upload rate, so the sync wil…

Man, thanks a lot! I just done it wrong, thats it! "If an ffs_batch file was entered instead, the task would return with error code 2147942593 (0x800700C1), "%1 is not a valid Win3…

Hi everyone ! I am looking for a FTP/SFTP provider that would work with FreeFileSync. I would need something like 2-3TB of space and good bandwidth. Does someone already uses this …

Fixed! The update check is now run asynchronously: [URL]

If the officially-provided version was compiled on Intel x86_64, which I suspect it was (and you could verify by running file "file /usr/bin/FreeFileSync"), it will not execute on …

Yes.

if I could filter the list to only show folders / certain files without changing my filters that would be great add an additional filter / subfolder depth within the already exhaus…

much typing... select from list of available profiles it's 2018

that's great, but it doesn't save with the profile.. <TimeSpan Type="None">0</TimeSpan>

An input helper for the exclude filter seems needed, e.g. a checkbox-tree. This would greatly simplify the problem of having to enter filter settings manually in cases where an ini…

Upgraded from 9.4 to 10. Very nice.

Fixed! I've added options to install for the current user or for all users. Only latter requires admin rights. [URL]

@Plerry, thanks for the very clear explanation. Any idea why my exclusion filters did not work? [Quote] I'll leave the task as is, where it mirrors the source files to files in the…

So, was this feature removed in version 10.0? Why?

This fits in the discussions on more refined Version control. See e.g. [URL].

[Quote] No, but the "Sofort" option should work as an alternative.

I need to do a one-way sync files from a remote SFTP server directory to a local directory. After the sync is complete, I have to move the downloaded files to a separate directory.…

Outlook PST files are easily 20GB these days. In addition, breaking down the outlook.pst to individual pst still contains 20+GB of cumulative pst files. When emails are moved into …
