Good day, I am experiencing an issue where there is no error dialog shown when running a batch job through Windows Task Scheduler. However, the dialog error is shown if I run the b…

[Quote] I barely found it

Hi, I'm not too clear on the setting up of this, but think I've got it right (see screenshot). However, nothing seems to happen when I click on Start. It's presumably not a googled…

I'm continuing to see this problem. Since my original post I have built a new PC. Everything is new, including the external dock and my main backup drive. I'm on Windows 11 now ins…

Are you trying to install into the root of C:\ itself? If so, try to install into some subdirectory of C:\, like C:\FREEFILESYNC\.

Bonjour J'essaie vainement de configurer RealTimeSync et malgré les tutoriels que j'ai trouvés sur le net mais cela ne marche pas. Je voudrais synchroniser mon disque dur M: sur le…

Ad 1) You can change the default location of the FFS log-file for the user credentials you run FreeFileSync (FFS) under in the FFS GUI via Tools / Options to any arbitrary availabl…

It's in the synchronization settings before you start the sync.

I have put together some external scripting that rewrites Right side values so that I can dynamically change the destination folder based on the project I'm working on. The folder …

It seems you are using the Update sync variant. Try using the Mirror sync variant instead.

Even more, not just the file names must match, but those identically named files need to be in the same (sub)folder relative to the left and right base location. What you (meet law…

It is possible in FFS, but not fully automatically. You can run a Compare, and then select all files you want to have copied over, right-click and use "Copy to" (Ctrl-T). See [URL]…

Hi I am using this software for back up and would use only "Mirror" option to sync "Two way" sync is very risky option, as it may delete all original data, if used by mistake I wan…

Hi All! Just to be clear: I tried to sort things out with chatGPT and failed before bothering you guys :) l have two PCs (at work and at home-both win10) with completely identical …

This should work perfectly fine, without any tweaking

[URL] I use Windows, so I can't confirm if these work on Linux.

You are really frustrating me. Stop guessing and trying to assume what people meant rather than just assuming that they meant exactly what they said. I'm not trying to do anything …

What are our filters set to?

How about posting some of said file/path names where you're running into issues. Perhaps, if name-part is 255 chars, ?, if an interim temp filename is ending up >255... or somethin…

Backtick does hold special meaning in Linux. [URL] Removing the backtick in the dirname should fix things, I'd think. I imagine if you were to create a .html file, test`me.html & t…

(No "install", if I'm understanding. Unzip & run.) If you unzip the ZIP into a new directory, & run FreeFileSync.exe does it still give that message (on that particular machine)? I…

Never mind, I figured it out. It was a permissions problem, but my fault for incorrectly configuring the permissions.

What is the full error message?

No, the intended solution is to press the "Enter key" on your single file instead: [URL]

Great, that's helpful. I replaced the Exec line with /usr/bin/freefilesync (no quotes). Now it works fine. Thanks!

Thanks , that did the trick. I was not aware of that before you advised me of that simple solution.

That command as show includes a space in the path for your ffs_batch file. The space is the first character in the path, and would make the path invalid. Once you get past past tha…

Ahh. Thanks so much. A later sync in the same backup was writing to the parent and overwriting (ie, deleting) the previous subfolder. Obvious now I understand it - thanks again! Ch…

Particularly the "or *.ffs_batch file" part in your last quote is probably causing the confusion. You probably meanwhile got it, but for completeness: RTS is a completely separate …

[Quote] Many thanks) it really helps))

is there a possibility to find out why FFS is getting stuck ?

That might depend on how you installed it. It might be "freefilesync" or "FreeFileSync" or "org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync" or "FreeFileSync_x86_64" or similar. In your terminal, yo…

FFS was not the problem! Turns out backing up files uses a lot of cpu leading my pc to over heat. Just turned out that I happened to be using FFS to backup my pc. Replaced the ther…

Update: reverting to 10.2 seem fix the problem.

Just found it myself...go to file/new and that's it.
