I get this error when I try to copy files to a SFTP Error Code LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL: SFTP Protocol Error LIBSSH2_FX_PERMISSION_DENIED (libssh2_sftp_rmdir)

Whenever I run a sync for the first time I always get an Error dialog stating that the program can't find the target folders, I'm then asked if I would like to 'ignore the error & …

GetLogicalProcessorInformation (and thereby also FFS) needs XP SP3.

I'd like to synchronize my NAS drive to an external drive (Z:), every time trying it I get following error: Cannot set directory lock for "Z:\".Cannot write file "Z:\sync.ffs_lock"…

When a Time Machine volume is "mounted", you can see the folders/files via Finder. However, when I try to compare those files with the local folders I have restored to, FFS gags be…

What about FTP, FTPS, or FTPES?

Fixed, column label font and background color are now retrieved from the system: [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_7.3_beta_Debian_8.1_64-bit.tar.gz]

No, there is only a single FFS process.

Awesome, can this be set in GB as well?

Finally I found a solution by enhancing my Batch: REM Prepare datetime variables: FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,5 delims=/. " %%a IN ('date/T') DO SET CDATE=%%c%%b%%a FOR /F "tokens=1-4 d…

Thanks for the very fast reply and insight to your thinking. Much appreciated. I agree making them obvious initially is a good move coz I noticed them and had a look. Usually for m…

FreeFileSync supports SFTP directly as of version 7.2.

As the program currently is, when you enable versioning, presumably the "versioning" folder will grow and grow over time, potentially filling up the drive it is stored on. It would…

I am a new user of this tool and there is much that I like. One feature that would be very helpful for me relates to filtering of a Compare. I would like a simple way to restrict t…

thumbs up 100% support for this request.

recently i upgraded to version 7 and added a new sync job. The new sync job always shows an result window on finishing the job. How to disable this (my old job doesn't show such wi…

hi wouldn't it would be great to (optionally) have Windows Explorer's right click menu below current right-click menu? in particular I was thinking about my "Compare to..." option …

Can't find the mentioned discussion, sorry. Do you have a link?

Make Backup with Device-ID / Volume-ID like: \\?\Volume{ec1ec388-6cd2-11e2-be65-806e6f6e6963} So it is possible to make backup in a non visible Volume.

.. my issue is solved - there was some pacman problem for boost - after reinstalling in force mode I could build ffs again

RealtimeSync needs a design overhaul anyway, most importantly to show the paths of the files that trigger changes in real time. Currently the background process doesn't have its ow…

[Quote] I am saying that your case is so specific Zenju can reasonably ignore it (I don't know if he accepts funding for specifics).

[Quote] There seems to be further movement on this issue suggesting Sourceforge are backtracking on these actions See [URL] Whether one can now totally trust them from now on is an…

My Apologies jonrichco for not responding faster. I have just lived through an extremely uncomfortable day. I live in NE Thailand and in a Monsoon storm yesterday a large tree fell…

I am being rude to the same amorphous group of people as you, the people that don't understand. Do *not* make me the bad person Anyway, I think, as time passes you will understand.…

It's not just a trust issue, it's looking to see if *I* screwed something up! When I move a folder, I see the entire folder contents (all the files) in the deleted section and agai…

Good, I've included the changes for the next version. Here's the new beta for testing: [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_7.1_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Thanks for your fast reply and the clarification. I will install the updated release now. And thank you very much for your hard work and your great program.

I wonder if this wouldn't be better generalised by using an external prog to do the comparison as there are potentially myriad variants of permissions.

Are modification times preserved when copying with Windows Explorer?

Hello, I love FFS and really only have one feature request for FFS. I'd love for it to correct folder names that are too long, truncate file names if necessary OR create temporary …

[Quote] Ok, next time, when i get this error, i create a dumpfile. For now i had this correct whith stopp and start the vss services, etc.

Copy locked files (use vss) should not be a global option, better it is a option for each task individual.

+1. I agree that some additional control over the logging format and detail would be extremely useful.

[Quote] Thank you for the quick reply Zenju and for pointing me to the right direction. I'm using Synology NAS as a Backup location, which has a linux based OS. I found out that Li…

[Quote] Thanks I confirm this version works. I had to overwrite the files I had sync with previous version in order to have the correct timestamps. After that it works like before …

Hi It would be good to have the option that users do not have to open the full FreeFileSync GUI to resolve file change conflicts. Secondly, it is not desirable that when running mi…

Thanks Zenju works well. I included the 4 files I wanted (out of 1800 in the folder). I was afraid that the "Include via filter" would apply to my other configurations as well, but…
