FreeFileSync Forum

Is there an easy way to protect the syncing from Crypto viruses? That means that a target NAS should not be mapped into a Windows PC as a network drive but the sync to a target (NA…

I aggree. This would be useful.

Thanks for this very impressive tool. Interface and functions are amazingly thought-through. Whenever I think something's missing (saving filters), I realize there's a smarter way …

The zenxml library needs to be downloaded separately like the other external libs boost and wxwidgets: [URL]

is it any possibility how to save FFS_batch automatic when i save FFS_gui or working only with FFS_batch? in new versions is posible to open and edit ffs batch directly in sync. wi…

Yes, wait for the next FreeFileSync version :) Or get the beta now: [404, Invalid URL: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/FreeFileSync_6.3_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Try a search of this discussion board. I know that this has been answered multiple times.

I have FFS 6.2 on Windows 7. I have my personal Links pointing to my own Folders. Why do I need to run ffs with Adminstrative rights to preserve my Links? How can I change the loca…

Thanks! I had overlooked that settings menu. It says, osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to sleep' I cleared that field and all is now well.

> 1) [...] So if those numbers could be visually removed, it will make the program look more clean Not a big deal, but you may be right. I've removed these empty rows, let's see if…

I don't know anymore about this yet but will find out later today. It looks like when the program is starting, somehow a Windows 7 file that it requires has been replaced and with …

[Quote] The difference is in what happens with certain categories of file matches. E.g. "update" does nothing if the left file is older than the right file or if a file exists on t…

[Quote] Hello don't you have a deployment tool, such as SCCM or OCS inventory ? Normally GPO are ok to deploy, but i do not like this way very much. What error do you have in windo…

> Ah, I'm sorry. It is detected as movement, but its visualization is almost the same as add/remove. maybe it is better to visualize it in 1 line instead of 2?! Having only one lin…

Thanks for sharing your ideas! > 1 . Add the ability to create keyboard shortcuts for some custom context menu items. The first custom entry already has a shortcut, "Enter" or "mou…

excluding *\*.log worked! Thanks!

Working app Samba Filesharing ([404, Invalid URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba]), Win7 can find this share. Then you have to mount it as drive…

Hi sorry for the fuzz. I deleted the file manually and since then the effect did not reoccur. If it happens again, I will post here again. Olaf

@Zenju thanx, i just downloaded v.6.2 and indeed, the filter-symbol is fixed; 6.2 looks also better with the newly "screen-centered" columns and progress-graphs. btw.: you're right…

OK, i see, thanks.

hi Zenju, indeed you're right: the GUI is well done and it's obvious you put a lot of work in the details too. Although everyone may have different preferences, i think the interfa…

Yes, so long as both machines are on the same network, e.g. you can share files on one machine and access them from the other one. If you haven't used this type of programme before…

[Quote] Excellent, worked a treat. thanks so much.

Why don't you use the "exclude via filter" context menu option on all remaining files (= those that were not synced due to errors) after synchronization? This should give the same …

> Single click Compare and Synchronise There are two ways: 1. On main dialog, directly click the synchronize button, even when it's greyed out. This will compare and start sync. 2.…

The Summary panel : Suggest larger fonts for people with eyeglasses using monitors at high resolution. Large green completion bar : Not redundant at all, since the graphs are only …

New test : i created a file callex "MLX.vbs" in c:\freefilesync (the application folder). this file contains : ' **** Dim objShell, objFSO Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSc…

This behavior is similar like for other document-based applications like safari. Even when when all dialogs are closed, the main application is still running as can be seen by a ma…

How can folder names listed in the left or right comparison panes of FileSync be deleted? Attaching and de-attaching HDDs externally, and plugging in and removing flash drives resu…

It would be very useful to be able to drag and drop inclusions and exclusions, I wanted to write a feature request, I'm not sure it's the right place, but in the project area I was…

This scenario can already be solved with multiple folder pairs that share a single folder path.

Are the "dummy" texts still visible with the version below? [404, Invalid URL: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/FreeFileSync_6.2_beta_Mac_OS_X_64-bit.zip]

I'm attempting to sychronise to a shared folder on my Windows Home Server (WHS v1, based on Windows Server 2003 R2, I believe). All is fine apart from ONE file - I get the followin…

The problem with ignoring errors during comparison is that there's no error log at the end (unlike synchronization), so with the current design it would be way too easy for the use…

This seems like another wxWidgets bug where button label access keys incorrectly take precedence over short cuts of a standard text control with input focus, as in: [URL] I'm not s…

Zenju, I have always been impressed by your response rate on support questions, and yet again, you delivered. Thank you! The fixed version indeed works beautifully!

"fail-safe file copy" is a protection against unexpected interruptions like network drops or power outages. It will make sure to leave an incompletely written temporary file behind…

[Quote] I forgot to mention that this error does not happen for *every* folder, but it occurs systematically in some parts of the file system, so I tried deleting everything on the…

Sounds like a Task Scheduler issue. Check [URL] for some thoughts.

For those who need precompiled 32 (and 64) bit rpm packages of FreeFileSync can grab them directly from the openSUSE build service: [URL] or via [URL] ("unstable packages") Current…

I agree with dragonbook, I would prefer a graph of the speed in MB/s and items/s instead. My 2 cent : You could just display a progress bar, and a button "More" to expand the windo…

PS: have a look at the filter settings: Desktop.ini is excluded by default!

Unfortunately this is a general restricion on OS X since Mountain Lion: [URL]

Hi Zenju I downloaded at first from fosshub.com. After I use sf.net and size (11,0 MB (11.563.008 bytes)) and checksum were different. As you can guess the installation was fine an…

Yah, I know - trivial but this is my only gripe - everything else is great. The sync key has gone from F6 => F8 => F9 lately. I'm rely on muscle memory a lot and I'm old so new tri…

Ahh...duh...thanks

There should always be an error message when FFS detects problems. Did you select "ignore" errors? In this case error message will be shown only in the results log.

I love FFS but I am getting a lot of access denied errors It would make it much easier to fix these if there was a comma delimited log file Thanks LB

I know that FreeFileSync can copy locked files by volume shadow copy but can if the source file is located on a remote shared windows folder, can it be done too? thx.
