FreeFileSync Forum

RealtimeSync does not have options to exclude specific directories. The best solution is to emulate exclusion by "not including", i.e. specify a list of directories for monitoring.…

What is the problem with Samba? I haven't explicitly tested with SAMBA, but just did a sync against a Windows share using Virtual Box specific means which worked fine. So I wouldn'…

> weird characters in their file name Quite unlikely. The means to open a file is via the CreateFile C-API command which uses wide char Unicode characters. Next bytes are read via …

Interesting, could you post the full error message? I need to find out at which step during copying it throws this error. Usually "access denied" is related to file attributes or t…

>This shouldn't be necessary. RTS waits until all folders are available before executing the commandline (i.e. starting sync) But If I deleted the folder It might never be availabl…

I understand. Nevertheless if you have something I can work with at some point, don't hesitate to inform me. Best regards

Perfect: "RTS minimizes automatically when it is passed a script as argument" -- that will work for us, we'll update the script, test, and let you know if all is well (and I expect…

just to close out the thread, we are using a wrapper script and a flag file to catch the return; if FreeFileSync exits AND we see our custom flag file on the server, we made it thr…

Filtering options are bound to a GUI config file (*.ffs_gui). Is this what you are talking about?

GUI is refreshed every 100 ms only, so it may look as if it is skipping some steps. To be sure you can also start a silent batch job and have a look at the generated logfile. There…

Binary update isn't really a very common sync-scenario, but I think you're right to expect "copy to right" instead of "do nothing" as action for category "different". There is of c…

Thanks, after clicking the option I see where to enter the filename. Blame me... Klaus

Just tested on Windows 7 x64 and XP x86, couldn't find any problems sync'ing a file named "filename.$$$". The name in general shouldn't have any impact on FFS's functionality as it…

Please wait on this. I found a space in one of my attempts. Maybe it will work now.

Thats good to hear!

That seems to have done the trick!! Thanks so much Zenju :)

Fixed for v3.8! You may now watch videos undisturbed. ;)

Ok, sarcasm duly noted (grin)...I'll have a read over the changelog! Totally understand about the xml, our situation is easily remedied by simply migrating entirely to 3.7, which w…

If these files are no symbolic links then this setting won't have an affect. Could you provide a screenshot of this behavior as well as your settings? Then I could have a closer lo…

Press view filter button "=" to also show files that are "equal" on both sides.

The data is directly binary-compared without calculating a hash value or a checksum in between.

Hi, I got some more clues on my issue. I looked at the event viewer logs when the error happened. Around the time when my batch file runs, the event viewer->application shows error…

Sure, this is the "standard" synchronization scenario. It doesn't matter where you install the tool. You can even install a 32 bit version on one pc and a 64 bit on the other and s…

You are right I had this old 3.2 x86 still installed in the x86 program file folder thanks Julien

You're right, this works like a charm: :restart "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\SyncIL-UA.ffs_batch" @if not errorlevel 0 ( sleep 2 …

Copying/creating Symbolic Links requires Admin rights.

@rgarbe: Thanks for notifying this! This is actually a bug, that comes up only under specific circumstances, i.e. installation type portable and current directory not equal working…

> FreeFileSync.exe is not a valid Win32 application. That is the 64 bit executable. Working on the installer is currently not my top priority, but I'll see what I can do: [404, Inv…

The sync configuration as seen in the batch config screen slighly differs from its presentation on main GUI (although all settings are logically equivalent). This is probably the s…

Hello, It works! I shall be waiting for version 3.7 . Thank you, B.

... and everything is OK :)

This behavior is fine and as designed. It is due to issues discussed here: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2963611&group_id=234430&atid=1093083]

>that x instances of rts uses much more memory than only one. There is no significant overhead that I could optimize away internally even if I handled all 6 sync-configs within a s…

Many many thanks Zenju, for implementing this. It works great now. (btw. sorry for not replying earlier, but I've been away for a while) Anyway, just great. Also the way you handle…

Thanks. It's not exactly what I was doing. However, it did give me a hint. Installing the 32-bit version under Windows 7 seems to have fixed them problem :-) regards Stephen

Currently environment variables are supported only for directory input fields: 1. folder pairs on main screen 2. user-defined deletion directory 3. logfile directory Environment va…

I think the behavior for custom sync settings should be like for file filters. This way a user would only have to learn one behavior. That is, when you change the custom settings, …
