FreeFileSync Forum

First of all, many thanks for this excellent programme. Someone with a multi-camera rig is using free software that I provide to capture synchronised images. The special SD/USB car…

You're seeing ordinary I/O buffering done by the OS, not FreeFileSync.

Just installed this program, and backing up a Tb takes 6 hours. The speed is only 30-40Mb from my SSD drive to my External USB drive. (USB 3.0) If I copy and Paste it's around 100-…

In the progress dialogue, for the Elements remaining statistics, could you please show the total number (and total size) of the files to be copied, as well as the number and size t…

You're right, the whole section is useless and redundant, because the Captcha challenge is already explained on the left side. phpBB is like a raw block of stone. You remove all th…

This version should work fine (finally!) [URL]

Do you have some more information, maybe even a way to reproduce this?

I have downloaded de updates 9.2 and 9.3, but on both I find the same errors of being unable to load certain libraries, I'm successful with rev 9.1 but no chance with the more rece…

Hello all, I am attempting to use FFS to mirror my backup files for the last two (2) months from a NAS to an external hard drive to provide an off-site backup. (There is almost 4TB…

[Quote] Thanks Zenju, you are right!

Details are explained here: [URL]

For one it's more convenient, we don't have to hunt for the FFS executable, especially if it's portable and not accessible via start menu. Sure we can create shortcuts and such, st…

You can define multiple left-right folder pairs, and next to that you can use include-and/or exclude filters. That might bring you close to where you want to be. If you use multipl…

I know there's a reply from 2009 about this subject, but I think it would be a good option. The given reply is actually not the best option in some cases. Having a number of indivi…

Yes, RealTimeSync should get a menu -> New command. (even when there is not that much data to clear).

That is exactly what FFS does support. Simply define multiple left-right pairs in one and the same sync setting as per my previous reply. (You can add left-right pairs by clicking …

The lack of progress for a remote-copy action is a really good point! It really makes the implementation I had in mind unreliable. I also did some more research and found out that …

Process Monitor is the tool to analyze such issues: [URL]

The sync order is somewhat elaborated when it comes to detail. But in general it minimizes peak memory requirements by taking precedence of delete operations before creations and o…

Would love to take credit but it was the developer (@Zenju) who came up with the SSHFS suggestion. Previously was looking for FreeFileSync SFTP support on Linux to do two-way sync.…

Hi! I'm a heavy user of FFS (Donation Edition) and would love a small addition to the log files; transfer speeds. The header of each log looks like this today: [Code] I would reall…

Hi dummy, take a look at this post: Synchronize on two or three devices [URL]

Because the file is a stub on Netapp filer. The files work fine after sync, when the offline attribut is set with an other tool. Without setting the attribut the files can not be o…

I guess I could do something like... Home Sync - Web Folders Home Sync - Homework Server Backup - Helios Server Backup - Phobos etc. .. .. Would that be your approach?

Basic usage [URL] Example with time stamped destination folder: Left folder (source) C:\Users\Gianni\Desktop\ Right folder (target) E:\Gianni\Desktop\%timestamp%\

Greetings FFS group decided to revert from subscription model, and reverted to donate? So if I donate e.g. 10e, will I get the ffs donation version for a year, or less? best regard…

I have 1 desktop PC and 2 laptops. I have one same folder on the 3 computers. Sometimes I use the small laptop to work in that folder and sometimes I would like to use the other on…

Issue has been fixed, including a buffer tweak required on Win7 to get max FTP upload speed: [URL]

I've added Pageant support, which should solve this requirement, too: [URL]

I've added Pageant support! Let me know in case there are any issues: [URL]

1) Save your configuration using menu File, Save/Save as or use the buttons on the toolbar 2) Under Synchronization settings (F8) choose Mirror ->

Many thanks for the response - I thoroughly enjoy FFS. I've used it to create my own sort of "Carbonite Backup", where i mirror my documents, etc. over to my 2nd hard drive and the…

Perfect. That's it. Sorry for not looked into the manual. Thanks!

[Quote] Ok, I misunderstood this, and I didn't see you were the site admin : so, the idea would be to click on the "NEW FILE" button, to configure the backup, then to save it direc…

For some unknown reasons the timestamps of some files on a WebDAV cloud storage change sometimes by a few minutes or so. It would be helpful to have a function in FreeFileSync to c…

thank you, now I got it. The problem was that I never tried to use the right mouse context menu of the main window ( and do not know that there is any). I just used the visible but…

Filtering (via the FFS built-in include and exclude filters) will include, respectively exclude files from the sync. Files that have been excluded via a filter will also not be del…

And here comes the light ! Thanks :) Perfection. Nothing else to say.

The "Do nothing" icon is (possibly) shown if you use the Update sync variant, and is one of the available actions when defining a Custom variant. When using the Update variant, the…

Dear all, I am on a Mackbook Pro running on Sierra (10.12.5) 8Go RAM. I am copying about 66000 files (17 Go) to my external hardrive for the first time. How long should it take? DD…

Hi, I have downloaded the v9.1, the file weights 12325 ko : is it the full program or just somthing that downloads the entire program from the web ? Thanks

It does not appear that ed22519 keys can be used with FreeFileSync. Secondly SSH agent support would be nice but realize that not many people would use it and since FreeFileSync is…

Now we have 2 bars: 1. Total progress (data) 2. Total progress (items) I propose add 3rd bar: progress of current item.

Now we have percentages in Title. I think it will be better to add speed too. For example: "12,34% - 5,67 MB/s - ..."

schnappi, I agree. And piracy could be lowered by lower prices, I guess. At least I think it goes like this. Guys who pirate things will pirate them no matter whether they cost 100…

Is there any easy way to have a SFTP client built into the Linux version like the Windows version in a future release? sshfs user@server:/ /mnt -o idmap=user is just an extra step …

My problem is not so simple as a DST difference. I have a personal Home NAS and total file size is around 3 TeraBytes now. I have a subset of this 3 TeraBytes storage on another di…

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.... :)

If you are speaking about folder browsing when you choose the folders to compare, you can write the path directly, you are not forced to browse if you don't like. I'm using the Win…

If you need funding publish FFS to Windows Store as paid app and tell people at Windows Central so they can promote it to larger audience I'll purchase FFS if you decide to publish…
