FreeFileSync Forum

Do your due diligence. [URL] (and some more) Particularly read Zenju's (the author of FFS) replies on why it is (at least presently) near impossible.

You're totally right! I suspected my little idea was not gonna hold up (but the hubris of noobs is great), I just started using this great program yesterday after being frustrated …

Thanks a lot! That was the problem!

> Shouldn't ? the RTS be running a BatchDriveFtp.ffs_real rather then _batch? No, upon detecting any changes in the monitored folder(s) (if supported), RTS launches its command lin…

I don't know OC, but it would seem to be something like OC.exe %item_path% or OC.exe -path %item_path% or the like [URL] I'd set up a hotkey solution, first, & once that is working…

Btw if anybody wonders - the "donation" edition is NOT compatible with the flathub distribution - ie you can't upgrade your license to use multiple connections & use the flathub re…

Hello I'd like to group the sessions by subgroup in a tree view. Thanks

> Make a description for each solution This forum is not your servant ...

Ah, you mean in specifying your left-right base location? In that case you can simply specify C:\Users\dub\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\ and its counterpart as your left, respectiv…

There's an inconsistency in the code that skips the "synchronizing folder pair message" when there's nothing to do for a folder pair, except when the DB file needs to be saved. Arg…

a batch script is more than likely a way better option to do that

For synching just a single file FFS may be a bit of overkill. But nevertheless: You can use the FFS [URL]. Replace the default Include Filter of * (= everything) by the (path+) fil…

[Quote] That would be the sensible thing to do.

look at the erroe you get vs the error i get ..probably symlink cannot be copyed from windows to nix: [Quote] [URL]

[URL] RTS doesn't work when monitoring a Google Drive location. You can have RTS monitor just the local directory, it is up to you to determine if that is sufficient for your use. …

Since you aren't the developers at all Plerry and xCSxXenon (I don't know if you are programmers at all) I won't address you anymore. I apologize to the actual programmer @Zenju. T…

Thanks!!

[Quote] Having the client in Italian I didn't understand what "starred" meant: on the client in Italian you have to enter the "Organizza" menu and then "Aggiungi a Speciali". I see…

@dpeteual: Why literally repeat exactly what is [URL]?

That's a great solution then if someone doesn't want to keep all their files locally. Thanks xCSxXenon :)

I don't know a good alternative that could be used instead of the MAC. Unfortunately you are one of only a handful of people for which the current MAC address-based checking doesn'…

[Quote] Shouldn't matter since the action icon shown by FFS indicates that the files exist only on the right side. It must be something with the paths, as always lol

If you are renaming/moving files, FFS can detect that and avoid duplicating the file on the destination. FFS isn't a duplicate finder though, so make sure you are renaming/moving t…

And I was dumb - I didn't realise filters persisted between sessions. I was on [Last Session] (the default) and it remembered some irrelevant filters from an older session I'd had …

Thank you!

[Quote] And you're doing this sync with FFS, & you stated that this is between internal drives. That's odd. I take it they are both NTFS formatted? [Quote] Explain that? If you are…

[URL] If you have a GB of RAM free, you should be fine. Files added during the sync won't be transferred by FFS until another comparison/sync is performed. You could put put them i…

Your beta version works. Thanks for the fast response.

[Quote] You may want to never use the internet or literally any service in the modern world if you are world about your email address and name being saved other places

There are ways to do this, but not easily. FFS is a sync utility and your scenario is really no longer a sync process. You can set each subfolder as a source and point them all to …

I also would like that feature, comparison using only filenames, be added. That could help circumvent some bugs such as modification time being altered to current time when transfe…

[URL]

xCSxXenon, That's exactly what it took to get it to work, thanks! I first tried just adding "exit" as a second line in the batch file, but it never got to that line. But using "sta…

BulkFileChanger did the trick, thanks, therube! Once I set the missing modification dates to the creation date, FFS was able to sync the files without any errors.

Thanks for clarifying.

> Basically, does it monitor a folder and if there is any change, it would make THAT change but not have to scan/monitor the folder to do so? No! As also described in the [URL], RT…

hello Plerry, thanks for your answer. a) [Source] => [Target] (with subdirectories) no results but b) 1) [Source]\Sub1 => [Target]\Sub1 2) [Source]\Sub2 => [Target]\Sub2 1) [Source…

[Quote] Thanks Plerry I'm not familiar with the technical terms but thanks for rewording it... in a way that may be more easily executed by the Developers! From my user perspective…

Disable "Use database files to detect changes"

When I say "OneDrive Program" of course I am referring to the application that installed in the operating system allows synchronizing local folders with the Microsoft account. My q…

I have the same problem Cannot delete file "E:\Inetpub\xxxx\sync.ffs_db".

I actually had the same problem with gtk LDFLAGS which are missing at link time, so I had to add them with [Code] Would you add them to the Makefile please? Error was: /usr/bin/ld:…

This will never, and shouldn't ever, be something added to FFS. That is such a unique and complex case outside the scope of FFS' design. Also, you basically described FTP exactly i…

Can we get a confirmation on whether the freefilesync standard version is not under GPLv3?

[Quote] I think it's what I will do. No way I'm doing 500 drags and drops over the weekend.

ok, good explaination why it works as it works. Any plans make the great functionallity for file compare with more flexibility so we can use only path+ filename + modified time as …

Understood - that makes sense as I don't get the error on the second run off the first sync !!! :) Doh! Thanks All
