[Quote] I can reproduce this! You do have a configuration error, but the fact that there's no warning message about it with hints how to resolve it is a bug. It's a regression of [URL]

After unpacking and starting the portable program from my external SSD, I keep getting the same error message: Cannot read the file attributes of the file "A:\Portable\FreeFileSync 12.0\Bin\...

Hi Have recently upgraded to latest version and my batch files have stopped working If I run the batch commans in powershell I get the following: PS C:\Users\stuar> "C:\Program Files\FreeFil...

Perfect! Thanks a bunch.

Wonder if something similar to [URL] may have been going on?

Thanks, Zenju. I'm looking forward to when it's fixed. Am I correct in assuming that the jobs did run correctly, since the logs look good?

Any amount

OK

After the syncronisation, I tried another comparison of the two file systems without any error message now.

I think this has something to do with Samsung, because it worked on my Huawei Mate 9 until it passed away recently and now I have the exact same problem with my Samsung A13.

Hello Zentu, I have a number of backup disks, preferring to spread my backup risk to multiple smaller disks rather than all to one big disk. Then ... I have separate tasks for, say, Document...

I'd suggest you do a few tests with different user names. Most likely the space is the problem. AFAIK many FTP servers don't allow this. Perhaps the clients you've tested with internally rep...

Is there a way to sync files based not only on the file size and time but also by file content. I have applications that change the file date/time even though the content has not changed. Ju...

In the RTS GUI you drag/drop your FFS sync configuration (a *.ffs_batch file you created) or specify your locations to be monitored and the command line invoking FFS to run the specified *.f...

You probably use WiFi FTP Server 2.x on Android 10 running on your Samsung S9. I used to sync files between my Windows PC and my Phone with FreeFileSync and WiFi FTP Server on the phone. Aft...

If you modify a file, I suppose the date and very likely the size of the modified version will change. If you then run a Compare in FreeFileSync (FFS), comparing by "file time and size", it ...

[Quote] Of course :)

Any ideas?

I have no idea about Mac, but if you add a closing slash, or enclose in quotes, does that make any difference? /Volumes/FreeFile Sync/Zimmer 1/ "/Volumes/FreeFile Sync/Zimmer 1" "/Volumes/Fr...

So what is the problem here?! Obviously FreeFileSync lost writing speed on Ventura update(s)?! Anyone else with that problem or anyone without (!) that?

Hello xCSxXenon, Thank you! You were right. I got 'er done! I was trying to follow a YT video, from FFS, and the first step shown was to click on the "New" button. I was trying so hard to "f...

Now it's available from repository the version 12.0 and I was able to upgrade to this without any issue!

[Quote] What should I do if no one can answer my letter for 4 (!!!) months?! I write to the address listed on the website as the developer's contact e-mail! I, by the way, want to pay money,...

You're running the synchronization from a Windows PC, target is a macOS-hosted network share. Some (?) folders have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY flag set, perhaps because they contain a Deskt...

i'm sending some new users your way and again thanks for such a great program :D

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I did mean "Task Scheduler". After just a quick look at the RTS help, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!

+1 It would be nice to have the source signed.

I kind of guessed that but for some reason the new files did not show in the diff. I should have looked harder. Anyways, all good now! Thank you!

the old one is still available ... so I dont know .. I am just ignoring it ... is it better to remove it manually ? and no i did not rename anything ... new ... VERY new to Linux and I dont ...

have you found a resolution to the ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED error? I am receiving the same error on 7 files out of at least 200 other files that sync fine. I sync from a local C: drive over a V...

Mirror can also use the db files. When you select 'mirror' sync, make sure "Detect moved/renamed files" is unchecked

Even if you put configs in the default location, I don't think a fresh install of FFS will automatically detect them and add them into the config list

[Quote] Alright, thank you all for the answers. Following the thought process I've got another question , maybe this is tedious but I want to make sure I understand how the program works cor...

Ah yes, that happens too. I spent an hour troubleshooting an app build and deployment (firefox) only to eventually figure out my big zip download was incomplete, so some of the files were "e...

Found the task and deleted it I had called it Freefilesync as the name btw Thanks for your help

Hi, same problem as andrews when updating from 11.29 to 12.0. Is there a fix?

Up

1. Correct. (Of course unless the date/time changed - which may not be the case.) 2. I would think, that would be the way to go. Do note, that it is you that still needs to determine if you ...

Thanks, I had seen that but wasn't sure if some update had a workround
