FreeFileSync Forum

Well problem is I need it to be copied the first time around. Other application then moves the file to another folder.

Correct behavior. Files/folders must match any include filter and must not match any exclusion settings to be included. You will want to add another folder pair to the sync, syncin…

[Quote] Much appreciated! Is there already a time frame for this? Like "in a few weeks" or "half a year" or "maybe next year"? [Quote] Is there a way to have multiple RealTimeSync …

I made a mistake with file name it's sshfs NOT SFTPFS. I also use the windows version you mentioned.

thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually tried that, by changing the compare from "content" to "file time & size", but was confused because the synchronization took just as long. I…

Locations/paths are likely wrong

Sounds good. Since rsync also does not preallocate by default, this should be fine. I just had a quick look at rsync's manpage and there is a switch that has to be turned on specif…

You can [URL]. In its simplest form your first left-right pair could be [DesktopPC] => [BackupLocation1] and your second left-right pair [DesktopPC] => [BackupLocation2]

It seems you are using the Update sync variant in the FFS sync settings (F8). As you can see in the FFS GUI, when hoovering your mouse over the Difference Categories and correspond…

It seems you could use the [URL]. Then simply define your time-span to start on the date of your previous sync

Didn't get a chance to test that version (the beta is gone now) but wanted to say that the actual v12.3 still has the problem...

@Zenju, Cool, thanks for the prompt feedback. Cheers, Mike.

You have options: 1. if you have the ability and permission to do port forwarding on the external router you can designate an inbound port that forwards to the machine that you wan…

So if you remove all filters and it works, but then put the filters back and now it doesn't work, the problem is your filter setup. Post a screenshot of your filter settings and th…

I think I do this. Thanks

At least he isn't taking 5€/month for the donation version anymore. I already donated more then a commercial program would cost. The donation version is for "you and your friends":…

Forgive me father for I have sinned! Checked your suggestion above and found it fixed the 'problem' - my bad. Apologies.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is the rule - "Alternatively, you can avoid the problem in the first place by only synchronizing from FAT to FAT or NTFS to NTFS file systems." - the sa…

Sometimes when I sync between odrive and Autodesk Docs, it will delete the file from Docs on the web but keep the file on my local machine in a static "sync" status. I have my dele…

Sounds like its going to be the same as: MS Defender: FFS Donate Portable infected [URL] (But then, maybe not.)

[Quote] That's the answer. Many thanks. I had tried a search before postiing, but it didn't flag that.

So I can get a start on catching up with your 2837 forum posts. You have my deepest admiration.

The pictures are super low quality and the text isn't legible

IT could probably say exactly what is happening in why

FreeFileSync can't access WinFsp local drives, WebDAV aso. e.g. from the software "Cryptomator".

[Quote] I changed it, I'll track how it goes, thanks for the assistance.

[Quote] The latest FreeFileSync update added background highlights for comparison and sync buttons. The blue background on the screenshot means the compare button was not pressed. …

Howdy; I am attempting mirror two external drives using FFS between MacOS and Linux Mint over SFTP. Both drives are formatted as exfat, they are both accessible from MacOS and Linu…

Super late response for me. This is nice to know. Thank you. Still wish it were the click of a button in the GUI.

Hello and thanks again for your help. In fact there was some "virtual A to B and B to C" like you said with the ".gdoc" files of Google Drive synchronized files also with FFS... So…

You also could have deleted the symlinks manually in FreeFileSync first, after sorting all items by "size".

No, that's exactly my point, the progress dialog only remembers its size, not its position. Windows 11 22H2 x64.

That error usually means it couldn't turn a hostname/location into an IP address. This could be for many reasons, but I wouldn't look at permissions first.

You can just install it directly

(I'll just note, that from time to odd time, my XP RTS also crashes. No clue what precipitates that? The XP box basically acts as a server, so unless I actually looked - which I ne…

Also a note, being an administrator is not the same as running something as administrator. The built-in administrator account has elevated privileges. Microsoft is kinda unclear ab…
