Hello, Versioning is a great feature of FFS! But now it's too space-consuming. Why not make it compact? What I mean: NOW: versions stored in C:\Revisions\%day%\ folder. This is goo…

Another case of AV software heuristics going mad. It looks like I might have to push an update because of this nonsense (unless the AV prog fixes their stuff).

Hi, FFS is great. I've run version 6.1 till now. Understand the size issue has been discussed on this forum for many times. But I'm looking forward to have the same feature that St…

Hello Any forecast about when this could be implemented? Every subdirectory I create on our server has the "wrong" access rights... Regards Patrick

This topic has been discussed extensively [URL] quite some time ago, and has resulted in the present functionality since FFS version 6.1. FFS (directly) supports retaining either a…

Thanks, this works correctly if I specify the correct folder path. Folder that I can view in filezilla

Never mind. I just discovered the new auto-updater, which is GREAT! I also discovered that the program already knows my download link, but I find it through the ABOUT dialog instea…

Stretch is the next Debian-Version, coming soon, now in Freeze-State and stable enough, to use it, before it is official released. But Freefilesync is really irreplaceable, it is a…
