FreeFileSync Forum

Greatly appreciate, I have started the process

The error message is a false-positive, unfortunately, i.e. a wxWidgets bug. No error accually was reported by the library.

[URL] Setting 'D' and 'E' to 1 thread is irrelevant during synchronization because the maximum between left/right is used, which is '2' for both pairs. However, since there is only…

Yup, got it. :-) Thank you Plerry, I really appreciate it. :-)

I was staring at the forum. My 7GB sync hit a wall at 55%. I think it must be small files? And then it hit me, no excuse, just forgot to turn off my security software. Those small …

A cron howto has been added to the manual: [URL]

Just a volunteer with a passion for open source software!

Just pointing out... (On the Windows end, with other tools) you can do stuff like (& while not necessarily specific to above, above very well like can also be done), [URL].

Bank transfer via IBAN!

Although unfortunately RegEx is not (yet?) supported, for your described use-case you come close by defining an Include Filter of *\P????.xlsm The main difference being that follow…

Ii have read it but i don't understand because i don't know about the technic behind. you think it is not easy

Too bad. That will make us stick to Beyond Compare for those cases although FreeFileSync is faster.

Not sure what the docs say but you can use the utility I use NSSM to create a service. The auto updater does what it says it will auto check and update the software. Otherwise you …

So I have worked out why the drive letters seemed to have switched. Fine. However I still don't know why the updated files are ending up in "Documents" in both cases instead of in …

Ignoring isn't telling FFS what to do lol Tell it which version to keep

I wonder if I can bump this idea since there has been no feedback, for the simple reason my feeling is extremely strong that Moves (which do not alter any content) should not be mi…

You can highlight items and hit the ENTER key or right-click -> Synchronize selection

I use the option to mark files as old or outdated using the "hidden" attribute. As these files are not changed in size, time stamp or content, no synchronization takes place later.…

Digging up this old post. The FTP I'm going through is deleting 11 items/sec. Some past FTP connections have let me remove up to 24/second. I'm deleting ~900k-1.2m files and man I …

Hello, First of all, thank you for this really powerful tool. It eliminates the need to use sometimes hazardous scripts. I'd like to suggest adding an option to let the user choose…

@Plerry,TY for the Link,much appreciated!

[Quote] My whole layout is completely different to that. I have 100s of lines of entries, all of which define the FULL folder path to backup on the left, with the INCLUDE FILTERS s…

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

This is not a FFS problem

[Quote] Tried it today in 13.8 (why did I wait sooo long after your answer ^^ ? I don't know) and it works perfectly ! It is for me the solution since I have only one server and th…

Hi, What is your OS? Not within the software. You need a third party tool to mount Amazon as a drive. If you are on Windows, try Airlivedrive. There is another for Linux.

Clicking on any of the Compare results category icons toggles the visibility of that category. If you only (or first) want to check conflicts, simply hide the other categories.

You don't show it, but I take it that you are not using the /MT (multi-thread) switch (which in a brief look some time back seemed that it could affect dates).

Thanks for the insight. The subject matter we are discussing is intra-application job scheduling. Begs for a feature request. Lets call the established modus operandi "full paralle…

That's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. But it's not very comfortable

You can configure FFS to retry numerous times, this may work for you

Can you open C:\Projects\WebGL\.gitattributes in Windows Explorer? Anything here help, [URL]

I see, I must have misunderstood OP's request. Setting up a custom command for an external application should work

Great. I appreciate the quick response. This is ideal then, as in my circumstance it is difficult to organise this. I don't think it is very explicit, but thanks for explaining! Al…

I suppose this is because the flatpack package of FreeFileSync is not an official release (as by the author of FreeFileSync and found on the [URL])

I believe the drive must be accessible in order to determine the drive letter from a given volume GUID.

Ok..thx.

[Quote] Correct, but threads are very rarely going to result in a speed improvement. They only help artificially throttled transfers

I have not actually used these, except for Mega for 1 quick test. I cannot speak to the performance. You will need to try and see if it works well enough for you. Clouds supported …
