"Me too!" - thanks for fixing. That was confusing for a while there. TIL Windows 10 can have duplicate file names in a folder.

Looking for some help with this myself. I'm using USB disk ejector and in my ffs_batch file I've got ejectdrive.bat in the run a command on completion. The bat file is simply USB_Disk_ejector.exe /REM...

I recommend you check your watcher configuration. As to your case, I had setup a SFTP server and a local folder. Then, I used the following code: [Code] I tested it out with two text files: -testfile1...

Did you create the file after you entered the folder path in the FFS UI? If so, you need to refresh the file list by reselecting the path or just pressing enter on the path textbox.

Hello. Good Morning. I really enjoy using the program but in case of a simple folder rename the program deletes all the contents of the destination folder and copies all the files again. Got a setting...

I've had problems occasionally with the time it takes to copy a weekly backup file of around 50GB. By simply rebooting my Windows 10 machine, the transfer speed has increased from under 5 MB/sec to ov...

I intend to store and work on my photos on one external hard drive, and back them up on to two other external drives. I do not intend the drives to be plugged in to my desktop computer all the time. O...

Greetings, When I donated, I used PayPal and received only the confirmation email notifying me of my donation. I did not receive any kind of invoice or receipt. I kept the email for reference.

Greetings, I am having Real Sync watch a folder and then I want to have those changes updated in another folder. In other words, I want an exact duplicate of the watch folder to be reflected in anothe...

Hi, I have Drive File Stream installed to sync my Google Drive to my laptop. Drive File Stream makes a drive "G" available that acts just like a regular Windows drive (or seems to). I set up a sync jo...

We have the same problem, except with the additional complication that we do most of our work remotely so the portable version needs to be transferred to the computer (we can't physically plug in a US...

You are right. SP2 is not R2 as in link disgussion. SP2 is like Windows Vista, R2 is like Windows 7. But file system managent is the same, why? Thanks for everything...

I'm using Manjaro KDE. Unable to browse for path to my android as with KDE there is not a mount point created in /run/user/100/gvfs like their is in other DE's. Apparently KDE uses a dev rule of some ...

Hi Does anyone know how to backup/mirror to iDrive, either via FTP or mapping a network drive to the cloud iDrive backup folder? Thanks

You can [URL] at once. You would define four folder pairs, your four different (source) folders as the left root locations and your single (destination) folder as the four right location(s). When you ...

I have a dual-boot laptop with Windows 10 and Fedora. I usually use Fedora, but sometimes need Windows. Because Fedora can read from the Windows volume, but not vice-versa, I keep almost all of my dat...

Hi, the manual says there's an ftp configuration dialog that pops up after clicking the cloud icon, but I cant find either. Where is the ftp dialog? Where is the cloud icon? Using version 10.6 on linu...

Nothing there,only RTS and FFS shortcuts .How to find this RTS job?

We are an IT company and we use FreeFileSync often for doing server or workstation migrations. I would like to donate and am wondering how best to do so. I read over the multi-user scenario and it doe...

You can change the GlobalSettings.xml file according to need. See [URL].

Obtain authorization to procure that file.

[Quote] Please stop spamming this on every thread with slow operation. That seems to have worked for you and maybe one other person, it's not the "end all be all" answer to slow speeds. You're not eve...

Can you tell me something about what the problem might be? I'm running the most recent nView available for my (quite old) computer and, although I can work around this problem by using an older versio...

You don't write where you entered/used "*2019*.docx" When enter that as your [URL] (instead of the standard "*"), you should be OK.

Thank You.

That may very well be (I am not the author ...) why the GUI only supports graphically making the filtering (inclusions and exclusions) more restrictive (temporary or "permanent"). Modifying your filte...

Truecrypt was one of the applications that worked but FreeFileSynch did not. After trying different things, reboots, etc. I decided to downgrade back one version and that did not work. So, I decided t...

Okay, done.

Hi, when I execute the routine by Task Scheduler the progress window won't show. The backup is made but the processes don't stop (in Task Manager). In the routine options I have the minimized and auto...

Thank you for the reply. But the comparison of files is relatively swift for me. It is when it commences synchronizing the files by copying the revised version over the older version that it often han...

Thanks for documenting the workaround.

Yes they do. I just checked last night's sync and it worked fine but now it shows the last sync date 6 days ago. The sync job in question uses versioning, the other 9 do not if that makes a difference...

Thanks for that. Has that update been released yet?

It seems you have to look into defining a Custom sync variant, and define your preferred Action per Compare Category.

I had success using the following syntax: [Code] It seems unlikely that you can use 10 as the display sequence number as you probably don't have 10 displays connected to your computer. HTH! P.S.: I wo...

Hi, I have the same problem. FTPing the same file works nice but as soon as the file are a little bit larger, then FFS trying to write a temp-file into the the FTP-folder which case the error. Very ap...

Syncing every 1 minute seems overdone in (almost) any case. But likely that is not what you mean. I assume you mean the idle-time setting of RTS (isn't assumption is the mother of all f***-ups ...). T...

I suppose your "first backup" started with an essentially empty backup location and involved copying over the content of the source location to the backup location. In which case things obviously woul...

I set it to 1 and after a restart I have the same slow comparison after approx. 50.000 files. Does the size of the sync.ffs_db has anything to do with it ? Can I increase the size of sync.ffs_db ?
