I created a batch job and selected it to run minimized but changed my mind. I can't see a way to modify that setting again. Do I need to save a new batch job with a diff name? I tried overwr...

Hi all, My first post and it's a request for help with a relatively new (to me) issue. I have recently tried to sync my music files to my NAS, historically, it's been through SMB, but now th...

FFS Version 11 as for post title. Win10 version and antivirus are listed in the following screenshots: [Attachment] [Attachment]

Maybe something here? And thinking you'll need to understand the nuances of what is being said. [URL]

Hi, I'm experiencing an annoying trouble in a brand new OS installation (Ubuntu 20.04) with a brand new external 2Tb USB drive. Synchronization writes files with chosen mirror variant in ext...

Isn't it great when you can come across a "bug" & then come back in & say, hey, it isn't really a bug. So... As I'm always working from behind, never caught up, it's not unusual that I need ...

Hey, .ods is for LibreOffice. Where can i find the ods-file you mean? FFS fail after one second and not on the same file. Hmm, about a few minutes i start a new sync. A folder with files to ...

Yes, now I understand what happened: I unblock AdBlock when I've seen your message: "The FreeFileSync project is 100% dependent on ad revenue..." but then the advertising was very aggressive...

There was a conflict with Comodo Firewall. Uninstall Comodo, install FFS and reinstalled Comodo. Works.

No, the link stays valid for the duration of your donation period. Click the link in your email, and the download section is at the bottom. I use uBlock Origin without issue, but maybe you h...

Sorry, my bad. I am using Two-Way not Mirror.

Hello, I'm having the same issue when trying to sync my iPhone's photos and videos to my computer. It works well for pictures, but for videos (*.mp4 and *.mov) I almost always get "unexpecte...

Case 1) You can use RealTimeSync (RTS) to monitor said one folder for changes. And upon detecting a change have RTS launch FreeFileSync (FFS). In the FFS configuration, instead of syncing ev...

xCSxXenon's reply applies when you use RTS to launch FFS. However, if your automatic backup is a scheduled launch of FFS, you need to delete or suspend that task in the Windows Task Schedule...

Thanks! It works!

I have no idea why, and this is maddening and bizarre, but today, after a restart, it works. Completely insane. Thanks for your reply, and I'll screenshot it if it happens again. Cheers.

[Quote] I will try it, thank you!

You have so many bottlenecks here. WLAN is slow, most Androids don't use a newer UFS storage style, and are also really slow, and HDDs are also very slow when syncing many small files, like ...

1) Get rid of Norton, use Windows Defender. Norton costs money, or bugs you, and is no better than Defender 2) Go through the trouble of disabling all Norton services to install this one pro...

Yeah, if the NAS isn't even showing up in file explorer, FFS can't see it either.

Yeah, I wish it worked like that, but it doesn't. You would have to run two independent syncs, and disable the 'lock' files that FFS creates. You can then have a batch script that runs both ...

Any custom theme settings? There's no settings in the program for that, try a reinstall

Ugh. User error. The access denied was referencing a LOCAL hidden folder. I simply had to create a filter entry to omit this folder that I don't want to sync anyway and that solved the issue...

yes, 202 is suffice i use that command for other program...but in this case yes, not need sort uniq no, latest FFS not use date stamped: ./freefilesyncupdate.sh download/FreeFileSync_11.0_Li...

Perfect, fixed for the next release!

FreeFileSync * portable * version 6.2 for Windows: the solution is to edit the GlobalSettings.xml file, which is located in the FreeFileSyncPortable \ App \ FreeFileSync folder and search fo...

(FFS does not ignore hidden (or system...) files - that I am aware of.)

The fact that it worked for me, combined with the lack of support here would suggest that it may be a problem your end. When you try and connect do you see anything in /var/log/auth.log? I a...

It's all going well now, thank you

Your replay has the information more than i expected. i hope it will work for sure. i need to exclude every folder named ".recycle" so, i will use *\.recycle\ Thank you very much!!

Thanks Zenju, I actually use Filezilla. I will have to look for other software, if anyone knows of any good ftp server software, please let me know. Thanks for everything.

And, straight from the horses mouth, see [URL]. So, your single sync.ffs_db file in A contains relevant info on all three syncs (A=>B, A=>C and A=>D). Your use case should not give rise to a...

The files you seem worried about are *.ffs_db files. If you are sure you want to get rid of those, seach for *.ffs_db files and delete these.

When I download a zip file that meets these conditions from Google Drive, I get a timeout. 1. File size is less than 100MB. 2. The file size after decompression is 100MB or more. 3. Contains...

OK, I seem to have resolved this - seems to have been due to over-zealous Gatekeeper protection in macos Catalina. The solution - as described on a number websites - was to temporarily disab...

Hello, I have issue on linux when I try to move some files from PC to Android. I use mtp mount via gvfs as: /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=Xiaomi_SDM636-MTP__SN%3ABC49BBF9_cfc09085/Internal sh...

What are you talking about? I´m not using/doing anything else since Windows 98. Computers hiding those are freaking me out.

[Quote] Thanks a lot. It works

Unfortunately I had to retract this bugfix in 11.0 due to technical reasons. The next version however should be okay: [URL]

@therube...thanks for the suggestion. Worked like a charm. Cheers.
