in case anyone else might find this useful, this workaround should work: put the main script into a batch file and have ffs' on-completion command be [Code] "start" by default does…

I am currently having a similar issue when trying to connect to an SFTP Server. It works fine when using WinSCP and FileZilla. Was a solution eventually found?

Oh!!! Thank you for that - I hadn't spotted the "+" button before and that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks so much for your help.

[Quote] Yes it possible. May be MEGA sync application sometimes change shortcuts of desktop icons. It may be green for example. But what shall I do to fix it?

[Quote] [Quote] Not necessarily true. VLC can open corrupt files and play them until it reaches a corrupt section. It's possible that the file isn't fully corrupt, but enough that …

Good stuff! Anything I should be aware of? So if I specify a ffs_batch file, the real time sync will do exactly the same as the GUI including ignoring excludes and doing sync the s…

I find it strange how people quickly jump to defend something that a) does not need a defense, and b) is not in their power to change anyway. Just because we are fine paying for th…

[Quote] Yes, I noticed that now. It will only delete files on the right side ( dst ) that are not on the right side ( src ) This is where I got into trouble. I have several PCs ( W…

There is a setting to specify what to do when deleting or modifying files. But this setting is applied to both, local and remote sides. When using e.g. SFTP there's usually no Recy…

FreeFileSync copies the file but also logs a warning. Probably the best an app can do considering the file system limitations, no?

do you have a deb version (ready for install)?

Just a quick note. AWS S3 offers versioning as well. If you were attacked by ransomware, all it could do it create an encrypted version of your existing documents without ever affe…

[Quote] I read your posts and I did not realize there were so many of these small file/folder copying programs. Have you tried SafeCopy Free and does it solve any of your timestamp…

It also happened to me for files with same name but different case, but also for same looking at name files with a word one coded in ANSI the other in UTF8...

I would love to know if FFS has this ability in the future. And what is your problem with Goodsync? if it works, why not complete your jobs via it? also, Goodsync has alternatives …

The version 11.28 now works as desired. Thank you (and new donation)

Use filters to do that [URL] [URL]

[Quote] 58c is what I hit during this latest mirror operation.

Yeah. I might consider that. Thank you!

As instructed per the [URL], you should not just checkmark Ignore Errors, but also Auto-close, when saving your *.ffs_batch job.

[Quote] That is not necessarily the case. There certainly are attacks directly against NAS devices. [URL] [URL] [URL] A NAS can be ransomed without the PC's being affected at all. …

(Maybe it is a "Ventura" issue, [URL], where something is now no longer working in FFS ? And I take it, he's looking at WinZip as an alternative?)

Change deletions to be permanent in your sync settings

[Quote] There has to be something else going on. Yesterday, Win7, I copied a dirtree /LIB/ to a flash drive K:/LIB/, & except for the top-most directory itself (/LIB), all subdirec…

Hello, After I've checked precisly, I found that I have, by mistake, changed my source and target directory - this is the reason why I had the problem - but I only figured it now; …

When I did the last update to version 11.27 around 10/17/22 that seemed to fix this issue. I've been dealing with it for most of 2022 and it seems to work again.

Read [URL] (2nd paragraph). The RTS Idle time has nothing to do with AFK, but just with files being created or modified within the RTS monitored folders.

[Quote] Could be a corrupted disk, fixable via Windows error checking: [URL]

[Quote] This is the way it should be, that's why I never purchased again and glad I didn't. Over n out for the next 5 years.

You would have to set up directories that correspond to different timespans. You can then probably utilize the macros in FFS to decide what to do from there. [URL] You could then h…

@xCSxXenon, that was helpful as it remindend me of a proceeding I already had made some years ago, using a symlink to my folder to be synced to OneDrive. You achieve that by using …

Than worked! Thanks, Plerry.

Good morning, I have a NAS managed via raspberry with OpenMediaVault e FreeFileSync is launched from a server running Windows Server 2012 and performs two mirror operations at diff…

Hello Everyone, This forum and many others have been extremely helpful to me in setting up my sync. I would like to consolidate my findings from numerous threads into one. Backgrou…

Many thanks

Weird for sure... Just run a compare and see what the conflicts are, then decide what to do with them from that point

@murda > Did you reply to the correct thread? I did. But your later reaction regarding the tape library clarified your initial question. You are really talking about order at file …

Run the .run file I believe. Some people have had to run it from Terminal. FFS will check for updates once a week and have an 'auto-update' button when it finds one. That is the ca…

Thanks to the interventions. I think the issue has already been resolved. I definitely have to have internet to activate the donation version.

So you are wanting it to upload to OneDrive from the source, then move it from OneDrive to the second computer and delete from OneDrive to free up space? I'm sure it's possible wit…

You can have FFS run a command On Completion (see the [URL]), However, any such command will "hit" all files in scope, not just the ones just copied over or updated. You could also…

The feature only works per folder pair and their subfolders. You could move a file 100 folders up/down/across and the feature will work as long at the start and end locations are u…

Hopefully you will find some time to fix it in future. The URL you reference is already used and integrated into the PR [URL] You just have to fix the last things of that PR. I can…

I had noticed something odd about the task - even though the account was using to create the tasks was a domain admin account, the task aways wanted to be saved to run as an accoun…

Wow, I thought wxWidgets 3.2 dropped gtk2. At least the Debian package suggests that they only bother to compile wxWidgets 3.2 against gtk3. [Code]
