Yes it's using SMB. You could use software to map the Webdav to a local drive letter, and then FFS will just see it like any other file system. It looks like the speeds aren't grea…

I launch FreeFileSync with Admin rights from the Total Commander taskbar using nircmd elevate which works well for me. I can't see why TrustedInstaller status should ever be needed…

Sid said [Quote] I'm new to FFS, but I've been using a different file syncer for many years (SFFS), and I think if a file or folder is excluded from the job, it should be ignored, …

1. I want to prevent it from crawling. Right now it's wide open. I can type in the UNC path or drive letter if it's mapped. and it will go right in. This was done years ago. I now …

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. Regards.

I would like instructions also. Not extremely important although it would be nice to know how to compile.

(pseudo-code) go.bat: [Code]

Just run the shortcut modification directly

Perhaps there is: [URL]

I'm not able to reproduce this on a newly installed Rocky Linux on x86_64 architecture: Installation and app start ran smoothly. Maybe some third party ("Security"?) software is in…

Shout out to Plerry, therube, and Zenju!

that's fine - thanks!

I saw that, also for those out there that have a severe case of OCD, you actually have to have equal files for the selection to show up.

I would find it useful to be able to filter by arbitrary attributes. For example, in one scenario it would be helpful to be able to exclude files whose attributes are PLO (FILE_ATT…

[Quote] Yes, that's what I'd have suggested.

As far as I know, iPhone does not expose app data to the computer. Only Android has given that option. You will need to use cloud saving, if it exists, or you won't be able to do w…

At the risk of "necrothreading" (I have run a couple searches, but I have not seen advice on etiquette about this, sorry if this is a mistake), I would also be very interested in t…

WD MyCloud (& not that truly understand it - seems like a bastardized concept) is "down". Though you can [URL]. After that, I'd think you should be able to backup to your device (t…

Looking for this feature, is this still in the pipeline?

[Quote] Yeah got it. Thanks! I just think that it would be nice to have it.

I agree that it would be very nice to have the option, for OS / file systems that support it (e.g. Windows NTFS volumes), to specify that the target folder will be compressed by th…

Basically, just sync the whole "Users" folder and use filters to include/exclude what you want

This should be fixed already in the latest release 12.2.

Thanks. Appreciate your help. Best, Jos

Most likely AV software of the like is interferring with FFS. Perhaps a Process Monitor trace can reveal what's happening: [URL]

@Plerry, thanks for your answer. I found out FFS will save its own user/password DB if I use FTP connection to NAS. I save backups as batch jobs, and then I call them automatically…

You can switch to permanent deletions or have the versioning location also be set up in a way that prevents users from getting to it

OK - answering my own question. Surprisingly SFTP was faster in the scanning. The 850k+ scan was done in 38secs with SFTP, but at 38secs with FTP it was only at the 500k files scan…

Thank you. I assumed but wanted confirmation.

I'm switching to FreeFilesync from AllwaySync. In the AllwaySync environment, what you call a conflict was just a common situation. A user could define three or more directories th…

As I'm new to FileSync, nothing is common knowledge. That's why people join forums when they require assistance. Plerry helped me to learn about the trash bin, your fuller reply ha…
