FreeFileSync Forum

Hello all, first of all I wanted to say that I am a complete beginner with FreeFileSync. My goal is to copy files from my external hard drive to an FTP server. As I have already read in othe...

[Quote] So you're saying... net use M: \\NAS\music then right-click M:, Properties, & it (incorrectly) shows NTFS (on my end, on a Synology NAS)?

(Not quite sure I'm understanding what you're wanting, but...) In the Synchronization settings (F8), you can set up, [URL] (& versioning method, like with timestamps).

Can confirm, that it works now. Also following (compare & sync) of a directory tree works well. Will make more tests tonight, but looks good so far :-)

So does the version above solve the problem?

Hello, I am having an issue while trying to sync my files with my NAS through the SFTP protocol. Useful information: - client OS: Ubuntu 20.04 - FFS version: 11.5 (flatpak) - FTP server: Qna...

Thanks a lot : the version 11.6 beta solves the problem :-)

may be a google drive limitation

Yes, system crash, but only when I make backup FreeFileSync over network. I have another backup software, Intego Backup Express, which is old and GUI is not work perfectly, but backup over n...

I would appreciate this option between "depth" and "breadth" synching. I still haven't upgraded from version 9.9 and recommending not to do so to my colleagues because we all use "depth" in ...

Thanks a lot, it was as you suggested. Now it works! Great!

The sync finishes fine, or doesn't start? What are you syncing to and from? FFS writes that lock file to prevent simultaneous syncs to the same location, but looks like the user you are logg...

someone have faced the err: CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR: OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to [URL] [curl_easy_perform]

The 'new' button just blanks out the locations and sets the default settings, like a template

All my backups are automated batch jobs, so those are not an issue, but I need to occasionally run them manually using the GUI to change/omit directories. Hence my (admittedly small) problem...

Which Unicode character was it?

I think I understand. Any 'update' method is going to ignore move/renamed files unfortunately, pretty much every backup/sync utility performs the same.

New User, win10 (latest version) task scheduler never completes. The FFS log file shows job as complete however the task scheduler job continues to show as running. Even if I set the job to ...

There are many threads on what you want to do, and is usually as easy as running a post-run command

That process makes no sense... Why would you unzip it into the folder if you have admin privileges? Just run the installer and have it get installed where it's supposed to. Also as therube s...

Nice looking! That does happens with some NAS devices. The global issue you have can be fixed by installing the newer version twice, in my experience. I haven't had to do it since I did it o...

Correct! I have the same popup because I backup my phone pictures to cloud storage, but there is a folder that someone else adds to, and I don't want to delete their additions. I have two pa...

Hi again, I'm using the FreeFileSync for syncing my SFTP destination. I need the same encryption method asked here. What I want is I'd like to provide public and private keys to FFS and FFS ...

0x1129 == ERROR_REPARSE_TAG_INVALID Are you able to compare this folder with the following version? [URL]

Can you verify that that file exists in both locations through file explorer?

What does the crash report say? [URL]

Hi, all local files from my two separate drives in PC - C:\ and D:\ backed up to an external HDD by USB

After upgrading to 11.5, the sync.ffs_db files in a batch task (in a profile) always get corrupted on the overwritten side (right side). I saw a similar issue was reported in the forum, and ...

I spoke to iDrive and they said this software will not work with their servers.

Check system resources on both machines during transfer. SMART health sounds okay if you can get 95MB/s on a file explorer copy. Look for antivirus resource usage. You can try FFS again and ...

Usually then I try with UserInterface and it works and for the next 2 or 3 days still works but then the problem arise again

FFS should be creating a LOCK file that prevents more than one sync at the same time. As plerry asked, what are the problems with the database files? The FFS db files, or database files for ...

FreeFileSync (FFS) syncs the contents of the left base location to the right base location or vice-versa, retaining the file and folder structure within those base locations. So, yes, if you...

Yes, just select "permanent" deletion in sync settings (F8).

I started a simple test scenario from scratch with 2 folder names with same case, then renamed either side, but after many attempts I couldn't reproduce the error. I certainly didn't imagine...

It's a work computer and has Sophos onboard.

You can't download old portable versions

What does ip a return when entered in terminal? Do you have multiple network cards or WLAN devices which keep changing?

I am running FFS 11.5 on a LMDE4 workstation. Up to version 11.2, RTS was working OK. It was monitoring my home directory fine. Right now , it starts when I start my PC , the RTS icon appear...

Thanks I can see it now.
