FreeFileSync Forum

Need some help. I mistakenly set the synced to mirroring instead of updating the drive and it deleted over 8tb worth of pictures and videos. FAQ said there is an undelete tool but …

[Quote] 1 second, rounded down.

Code is in the download section of the website. I don't believe FFS is malware. You can always upload any suspicious files to VirusTotal for extra evaluation. FFS wouldn't have the…

Awesome, it was on `/Users/<username>/Applications`, thanks! I guess just drag and drop into the trash bin works, right?

Wrong URL. Apple SMB has many problems, the one in the URL above was about case-sensitivity. Here's the relevant one: [URL] [Quote] It's a "bug" by whoever programmed the SMB imple…

Ah wow. Definitely randomly throttles! Will keep at it. Thanks.

So I believe I found the option in the GlobalSettings.xml that governs the warning you speak about. <OptionalDialogs><WarnSignificantDifference Show="true"/> This looks promising. …

Nope, just a volunteer who imagines maintaining a separate version of the software, with fewer features, wouldn't be on the table ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, Thank you for your replies. I am sorry for creating so much confusion using the expression "almost identical". I am an IT professional with 35+ years of experience, including W…

Hi All! I'd like to sync my documents with my Synology via FTP. While connecting the Synology via FTP I got the following error message: "The FTP folder "ftp:User@192.168.178.10/Do…

Awesome, thank you Plerry, yep you've got it. Thanks :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed I managed to sync through SFTP no issues and I was surprised at how fast it is compared to MTP. I might just stick with this!

[Quote] Thank you. Changed the timestamps and it's fixed :)

That's exactly what I meant, you're fast as a rocket and precise as a stopwatch! Thanks!

Okay, perfect then, thank you!

Sounds like one of your drives dropped out/connection. Could be failing, could be the power cable, could be the data cable, could be many things

I chose the folder from the Compare list and it didn't work - I still get the warning. I'm clearly missing something... FreeFileSync is backing up two network computers (the softwa…

You have to perform a single sync after checking that box. Subsequent syncs will use the generated db file to track the changes

Cool, How is it working for you?

Thank you Zenju. :-) In the end I have bitten the bullet and increased size of the VM's disk and it synced as it should.

Np, i can just keep in mind that the try icon acts as it does atm. Not a problem Cheers.

Remove "*" from the include filter and set it to only include "\durant.xls"

FreeFileSync (FFS) does only perform (automatic) sync actions between the left and right locations it compared. So, FFS cannot to compare H:\ with I:\ and then (automatically) "syn…

yes i have done this once, but deselect that option. error didnt dissappear.

I try to sync. There are large Exel files. Thanks considering

According to the description, they are currently struggling with this, I haven't been able to set it up for 3 days. I would need someone who uses it and it works for them to descri…

1. Remove the '*' from the inclusion filter and add "*.pdf" and "*.pdf" 2. You will want to save the FFS configuration as a .ffs_batch configuration and set up a Task in Task Sched…

New user, downloaded 14.0 looking to use FreeSync (not RealTime sync). I go through the download and install process but the only app that appears is RealTime. I have tried deselec…

O i could have saved myself so much trouble. I just hardly ever use anything but the standard package managers. So pleased, now i can actually take a good look at the app. Many thx…

Get rid of Flatpack and use the official version

This time I think I finally found the root cause. The icon in the task bar to start FFS is an really old one and still contained a compatibility setting for high DPI monitors. As s…

Thanks [Quote]

Well, it seems I'm all wet ☔ That syntax is indeed correct (your helpful tip verifies it). I'm not sure how I got to the point of thinking it wasn't, but there I was. It's a dark p…

I finally found my way by using an extra "uid=1000" to my Fstab config. It now seems to work Ok and keep the modification dates on both sides. But now it behave differently with th…

Started used[URL], it makes the job. But I'm a bit frustrated to add a tool in my "stack" so I'm still open to another solution

This is almost certainly a bug in macOS 15. I'm not able to reproduce this on macOS 12. Most likely it somehow has to do with the "owner" of the app folder which is "root", because…

Set it so it keeps whichever one is correct

That works. If you still want to manually trigger it, saving the sync as a .ffs_batch configuration and double-clicking that file directly should also work

I synchronize data from PC 1 with PC 2 using the FreeFileSync program. In the meantime, more than 2.5 million are compared and synchronized if necessary. The data comparison runs q…

On Linux Mint 22 are mounted NTFS disks. Trying to freefilesync copy folders from NTFS to ext4. Freefilesync shows NTFS file dates correctly but after copy test all the files on ex…
