You can add a Windows schedule for your task. Trigger: Every n minutes or whatever. Action: Browse for the script (saved earlier as batch job). Start in "your full path of batch jo…

You seem to be right in the ballpark. However, if (as you suggest) you frequently rename and/or re-arrange files or folders (without modifying the files), FreeFileSync (FFS) will d…

I just found different solution. I installed FFS 5.0 It worked, but realtime sync can not paste ffs_batch file. so I just made batch file by FFS first and then changed realtime syn…

I am having the same issue. It started last month, Jan. 2020. It only affects .pdf files. I've triple checked file permissions. This happens between three machines on my local netw…

@xCSxXexon Mapping is not required, you can also use an UNC description. In both cases you can use drag/drop.

I disabled the option, but still, I got the following error. The FTP server does not allow me to delete files. Once it has been created, I could not modify or delete it from the se…

Hi xCSx, It's "chugging my destination"? You lost me friend... Last evening I discovered during testing that it is advantageous to simple compress directly to the destination (I us…

And I only typed numbers. Eventually I got in the requisite 1 hour time shift by editing the XML configuration file, but it's still a bit annoying. Running Elementary OS Hera, whic…

No one can tell where they came from or why they are there without access to way more information. You can filter those out in FFS and they won't sync

Read the manuals and tutorials

That is a registry tweak in Windows, nothing to do with FFS

Create a shortcut and place it in your startup directory. Change the advanced options of the startup to start as admin.

Yeah, what you want is the default behavior. It won't show you anything but files on both sides that need synchronizing unless you decide you want to see more.

There is an "update" option in FFS that will backup new/existing files, but won't delete them from the destination even if they don't exist in the source

filter out that folder. That holds your system restore points and you won't have access to it without extra steps

If possible, it would be easiest to format as NTFS. That would solve the problem and be better going forward. FAT is pretty outdated

Most likely due ti the connection, either noise in the environment or some other factor. Wireless kind of sucks for data transfers because of its volatility. Also, file size and co…

Hovering over the files should tell you why it detected a discrepancy

Hi all, I set up the deletion of protocol files onto 1 day within the settings. Nevertheless, the log files are not deleted. They will keep continousely in the standard directory f…

[Quote] Indeed, printing hexadecimal seems a better default for error codes. Implemented for the next version. [Quote] Makes sense => TODO, maybe even set the task bar color accord…

The above filter phrase also matches if the tilde is somewhere in the middle of the file name. Instead I'd suggest: *\~*

Hello, I'm Working on a Win10 PC. PB : Results of comparison aren't actualised Steps leading to the "bug" : 1°Comparison of 2 folders (Local and remote (NAS)) 2°Modifications are p…

My portable FFS is located on Dropbox, but I don't want the logs to go there. On Tools > Options, it says: default log location, but I click it and can't change it, the folder is s…

Thanks for pointing that out, Zenju. I use Bitdefender which supplants most all of Windows Defender protection monitoring. I gave Bitdefender exclusions to all FreeFileSync executa…

I'm using FreeFileSync (FFS) to upload some files using ftps to some web server. Some process on the web server will immediately grab those files for further processing but somehow…

Thanks a lot!

You don't have to, the file is used automatically (or you would have seen an error message).

You can split your FFS sync in [URL], and use local Sync Settings (incl. local Versioning settings) per individual left-right folder pair (using the green gear-icon in between the …

I think I've accidentally found the cause! Before the installation I had uninstalled the previous version of FreeFileSync via the Windows7 Control Panel/Uninstall. For some reason,…

Can you you navigate to this file with the following tool and post a screenshot? This should give some additional insights: [URL]

Quick Update. My storage is QNAP and I was using their FTP Server. I switched the FTP Server to FileZilla and no longer receive the time out error. The issue was the FTP on QNAP. T…

Great Gianni, will definitely try this one! Unfortunately, I have a situation where both the name and some of the content of those duplicate folders could have changed (at least sl…

I might have resolved this. One of the servers had run out of space for /var/log and thus showing all kinds of disjointed symptoms, including the inability to properly list the fil…

Thank you very much Gianni, that's very helpful! I now managed to find most, if not all files that are present only on one side of the synced folder pair, regardless of the files' …

Thank you
