I was looking for something like this today. I didn't see the option in macros and didn't think to look in the external apps page. My goal would be to support this pattern in the L…

I too would like to see this capability. Consider this scenario, I currently use Robocopy wrapped up in some custom PowerShell cmdlets in order to control various input settings an…

I appreciate the alternative suggestions, althoughI think you would agree that this are "workarounds" similar to just putting an asterix in the "exclude" filter of the folder pairs…

Consider the following files and folders source\fileA.txt source\fileB.txt dest\folder1 dest\folder2 Now I create "mirror" a profile with two folder pairs, and local filters: sourc…

Hi, i want to sync one folder or drive on NAS - but without connecting the NAS to my PC as drive (because the crypto-virus can crypt all files on connected drives) Can you add func…

Great! It really works great, and transparent. One suggestion, mark the local copy as read-only, so WinMerge (and others) give a warning when writing to changes to a temporary copy…

[Quote] Brutal honesty... I LOVE IT! :D

Thank you Zenju, and best regards.

Hej, it would be perfect to have a file execution option on error. In my case: connection to server is aborted. After 5times retry of freefilesync - instead of an error - the recon…

I sync my NAS mounted on a Linux PC to an NTFS formatted USB drive. Assume I have a Folder/File on my NAS called "user0" and this folder/file exists as "User0" on my USB drive. (Fo…

I've recently found Bitvise SSH-server (free for non-comercial use), and it seems to work perfectly with FreeFileSync. It was also rather easy to setup. Hope this helps someone.

Just select the 2 profiles and save as batch?

Does copying them also fail with Windows Explorer?

NTFS compression is a good option if the receiving end has decent hardware and transfer rate. Any way to turn it off? Nothing makes a large sync grind to halt like compression does…

I don't think so. But maybe the name "GlobalSettings.xml" is not optimal.

Hi, this is the fastest sync app I have ever test. I'm using Portable version. And I think, Portable application must be Completely portable, and it leave No trace on HDD, except F…

Hi I've the same problem, I use FFS 8.2. Impossible to sync .PST from the V8 update. Many thanks for a solution. Best regards.

I'm not sure, maybe it's useful to see sync.ffs_lock as an indicator that someone is currently sync'ing this folder so you probably shouldn't modify it? If for some reason you don'…

RealTimeSync registers an event listener with the operating system so that it is informed about file system changes as they occur. This avoids additional file I/O related to RealTi…

Let me know if you can somehow find conditions that trigger this, maybe it can be fixed, or at least the installer can be improved to show a reasonable error message (the one on th…

Thank you for your software! I like it! To improve its functionnalities, you could add a doublons finder : - select 2 directories - find files as doublon between the 2 directories …
