FreeFileSync Forum

I don't get it, never had this problem before, using latest version of FFS I just tried: copying a few files with special chars from HD to NAS, tried to sync again, and I get no errors. I su...

In Windows, the Recycle Bin (trash) is only available for local disks. Any files deleted from the NAS will not end up in some (Windows) Recycle Bin. How that works in Linux I don't know. How...

@barbara-luise: You seem not to have understood or have ignored what I wrote. If you define a first pair as left: d:\nas synchro\new\movies\Mulan\ and right: \\ds218\video\movies\die hard 1\...

Here are a few sample files. Folders with special characters like a "+" are not backed up correctly either. Source: edis_ + 40K (KRD) Target: edis_ ^ M40K (KRD) I secure the data on my OneDr...

Even for arbitrary and not determined, random file formats?

mmmm... IMHO this is a OneDrive/Windows issue. On an other hand, when I try to do a direct Windows explore copy (of a previously blocked file within the FreeFileSync process) an alert tells ...

It was in there - turns out it was corrupt. It's on a disk that shares files with both Mint and Win7 - I had to go to Win7 and run Chkdsk to get it deleted. All seems fine now - no error. Th...

Just for the information of everyone, I was expecting the same issue with an Samsung S8 mainly since I was using Windows 10 with FreeFilesync. I tried with another system that I have with Wi...

I used an application called AppCleaner that removed all the FreeFileSync files, I'll try finding the crash report but it seems to be an internal app problem Edit: Here's a line I found in t...

Update v11.2 - no "Info: Comparison finished" statement in the logs for "ffs_gui" jobs.

Oh shoot, I misread his 'control' as 1 hour, not 5 minutes... Ok yeah, something is definitely odd, my apologies!

FFS will copy files as sparse if the target file system supports it. I suggest setting up a test case copying only a single sparse file and see if that works. If it doesn't, next step is: [U...

Hello, I suppose you were replying to Brodi. I have been trying to fix this for almost 2 weeks now. I can execute the batch file from file explorer OR from the green Sync icon's GUI but when...

An easy way to do this is run the compare, then right-click the folder/files, then click exclude from the context menu

Never mind. Apparently you have to close the program, restart it and run the compare and sync again. As I had run the compare and sync many times without removing the errors or warnings, the...

Thanks! Yes seems like something must be accessing the folder. This is probably also why it keeps scanning! Since its not a large folder that isn't really a problem! Maybe I just set it to 2...

Hi all, I am using the program Grsync which I found on the Pi's app store thing. It works fairly well as an alternative. However it's no match to FreeFileSync. If anyone could share a compil...

I think I found the issue. I need to wait until MTPDrive has retrieved the list of all photos in the device before I use FFSync to copy them.

Problem: tablets do not get a drive letter assigned and sometimes have different volume names, although the tablets are maube identical make/model. Does anyone have any experience copying fr...

[Quote] Files with illegal characters won't sync to local storage We aren't deciding what conventions Google uses, the technology industry is. Google should remove support for such character...

Multiple locations/computers syncing the same locations

Depends how you set it up originally. Check your startup locations

Thank you for the reply. I ended up using powershell to change the modification date. I'm no powershell expert, but I was able to muddle my way through. I'm not sure how the modification dat...

Generally, old FFS database files that are not too old (= "a few years") are migrated automatically. But for updating an ancient FFS version the approach looks like: Sync all folders with ...

Greetings! I have a few in-home storage locations (PC, NAS, secondary HDD) with specific folders in each that I would like to backup to GDrive. Some of the folders are modified often, such a...

LM 20 Cinnamon. I wanted to use the command: [Code] to get the PPA installation. However, I get the error message [Quote] Source of the command: [URL] Helping comment is appreciated!

Delete that empty file. That is usually located on a Windows drive, not sure why it popped up on S:\

It wasn't in Task Manager. I finally found it, but I can't remember where. :-) :-) :-) If I figure it out, I'll post it. Thanks.

As for your "fix", you can sort/filter by creation time and the duplicates should be there. Also, on Windows, duplicates will show up as "xxxxxx (1)", in which case you can use cmd to find/d...

On CentOS 6 and 7, you're going to be using Xorg. If this is not the case, you are beyond my skill level. So, with Xorg, you have to have a running Xorg session whose DISPLAY value is usuall...

1. Maybe creating the "Logs" directory fails for some reason? If so, FFS can't report any errors and all you'd observe is a non-zero process exit code. I've added error logging to the consol...

FreeFileSync (FFS) is a file-level synchronization tool. FFS only compares identically named files (and even only in an identical (sub)folder location relative to the left- and right- base-f...

Start by taking the relevant FreeFileSYnc (FFS) [URL] and browsing through the[URL]. As your predecessor apparently ran FFS syncs, you may look for one or more *.ffs_gui or *.FFS_batch files...

[Quote] It's incredible but after 3 years AVM didn't yet solve this serious ftp limitation. Files date is still sadly wrong. I use GoodSync, but Fritznas using ftp is totally unusable.

Yeap this is what i mean.....I changed 3 USB disks/cables (different vendors) up to now and it persists.. It does this on both my home machine and laptop so i cant believe that it has to do ...
