Thanks for your advice, just doing a full backup of my PC right now, I'll try this tomorrow.

> Where in FFS can I configure two batch jobs to automatically start when my PC reboots? You can/do not do that in FFS. You use the Windows Task Scheduler (one task per sync job) a…

This will require setting up a network share on one computer that is able to be accessed by the other. This is something you do prior to FFS being involved at all

Surface devices have x86/x64 emulation built-in, so the software should work fine. Try it and let us know [URL]

[Quote] "Six or half a dozen" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For all intents and purposes, for most end users, these are the same To the OP, you could also change the security permissions to allow acce…

Yes, but recently I tried the same version on a different distribution, and it seemed to work correctly. This suggests that it might be a missing dependency or configuration on my …

Destination SSD overheating perhaps? Try monitoring it with CrystalDiskInfo.

Checkmarking "Ignore Errors", "Run minimized" and "Autoclose" when saving your *.ffs_batch sync configuration should do the job. See [URL].

[Quote] Thank you both for your responses, you guys have been a great help and I certainly appreciate it! I totally missed the “RTS: Run as Service” button which brings up Plerry’s…

Did a Sync today from Local NAS to Local HDD, and I get the following errors on 75 of 700 files. Thoughts? Cannot rename "X:\folder\Camera Roll Backup\20220805_123555-4ce8.ffs_tmp"…

Filling out questionaires, creating quotes, or endless "negotiation" to cater to a company's idiosyncratic internal workflows would be the most pointless use of my time, when there…

Just in case anyone else gets this error. In this case it is because of synchronising files from a Linux platform to a windows platform. In every instance of the error there were 2…

Hi @alone The page is online now but it's not complete. Here is the url: [URL] There's a contact address at the bottom and if you use that you can request whatever you want in the …

Many thanks to Plerry for the explanation. Too bad I can't realize my idea with FFS. But maybe the software will be extended with backup functions in the future. R. H.

I found the files in the recycle bin of the external drive I was transferring to along with the "sync.ffs_lock" file. The files were not located on my pc but were transferring from…

Hi, i tried to install your software on a Windows Server 2012 R2, to sync a folder to an sftp directory. Which Version is the correct version i can use? I Could install the latest …

Here is the link to the SSH SFTP server software that I use on my Android tablets and phone. [URL] Try using sftp vs cable and you may get better. Results.

I have recently accomplished a fresh build of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 on two different machines and installed FFS on both. The issue I have with both builds is that there are a few subdi…

I solved the problem by first doing a hand transfer and then running a mirror copy for verification. That, it went well and lasted 45mn. Obviously freefilesync has some difficultie…

I've found the easiest way to eliminate these issues (with the GDrive docs and sheets) is to add an "extension" to the files name (upon creation, or rename it via browser/myDrive, …

I have been trying to install FreeStyleSync on my Kali VM, I download the tar.gz file from the site, extract it, then double click on the .run file but nothing happens. There are n…

Awesome! Thanks. I've been using FFS for a couple of years now and clearly have not dug into all of its capabilities. I still don't understand why the real-time file count displaye…

My question was more along the lines of whether FFS might have such a feature (perhaps hidden from me until now). I had already discovered that Robocopy or similar software could h…

Thanks! I did these amendments and added an 'automatic retry' with 'count' at 2 and several seconds of 'delay' between the two. It works now! Much appreciated

(Also noted here, [URL]. And your picture link doesn't look to be valid. You can upload it here, directly.)

é shouldn't be an issue (to FFS). So maybe it is something the way that [URL] is presenting that particular (or similar ?) characters (which you wouldn't really expect to be an iss…

The progress display window opens and it flashes momentarily. The progress window is then displayed as just a white block with some of the text at the bottom, but no X-Y progress %…

[Quote] Thank you! At least I can confirm it's still the same presumably code-gen bug, even with the latest VC compiler (two updates since the initial crash report). Alas no update…

FreeFileSync 10.11 : Last FreeFileSync version supporting Windows XP SP3 and Vista As always, this is my most favorite software, and the best software developer I ever got software…

Thank you!

It seems that renaming a file in Windows actually results in two actions reported by the Windows API that RTS monitors. It's likely that it reports a new file with the new name and…

Screenshot? Which version, OS, and language?

Thank you!

Thank you for your quick and complete reply. Now everything is clear. It was impossible to understand how the synchronization was configured without your help.

Thanks. Don't you face that issue? Which versions of glib and libidn2 are you building with? If I remove both #undef G_GNUC_UNUSED, then everything builds fine (libidn 2.3.8 and gl…

Hi everyone :) Thank you in advance for your help. I am using FreeFileSync for the first time in order to create a backup of my entire Dropbox folder to an external hard drive. I a…
