Would you be able to provide me with a test login to this FTP server? Perhaps there's some way to fix encoding detection.

Excluding filtering happens *after* it is determined what an item is (lstat).

Thank you all of you that oriented me

Hello, when I transfer my files, sst_tpm files appear after an error has been detected during the destination search. In this error, the destination has a different name to the sou…

Thank you very much, in fact on the thread with the second link, someone just explained that they had ignored the message in order to continue the transfer in the same way as I had…

[Quote] It's not the file ID that FFS is checking in this case, but file modification time and size. Or if the file was created or deleted, then this is also considered a "change".…

Nevermind, I found the download link.

[Quote] I tend to agree with Plerry here. The reason you're seeing a 1 second file time difference is (most likely) because the underlying file system is lacking precision. [URL] w…

It seems most correct that it isn't an issue with FFS then. [Quote] It is more likely a problem with your Windows 11 installation. Run an in-place upgrade / repair install and see …

Just to be clear I have not lost or deleted anything, and I already have a recycle bin setup on my NAS, I was merely asking a hypothetical question to try to understand how the sof…

The correct syntax turned out to be [Code] crontab works like a swiss made linux watch. Other than editing the crontab, no other file or command is required.

[Quote] That was my first link but they were unable to figure it out... Good luck to em I suppose

I'm not able to reproduce this. A "shared with me" folder that is linked to "My drive" is updated correctly in my tests when its content changes. However it seems to take a couple …

Are you able to provide a test login into this server? When no path is specified yet, FreeFileSync detects the home path and uses it as the default when opening the folder picker. …

Thanks for your reply. Can I set "compare" only for a single folder? I tried compare for all, but found it slow, but retry it again. Currently I change them manually.

Test. Create a directory named, TEST, copy that .cfm file & some others where the hidden attribute was set (on the SFTP end), & do an Update sync to a new directory (also called, T…

Ocassionally, I get FFS errors because I drive lost connection. When this happens, ocassioanly it will read that the target files are present because the ".sync.ffs_db" file in the…

As you noticed, I forgot to add the /w or /wait option to at least the first two start-commands in the batch script of my previous reply. See e.g. [URL] Do not add /w or /wait to t…

I've reinstalled completely incl. creating all profiles new. Now it works without this issue.

Well, that behaviour is weird but lines up with what I saw. I have to add that I had to use first aid every time I remounted the drive. But I noticed the name of the drive contains…

Sehr geehrter Herr Zenju! Thanks a lot for FreeFileSync 13.5! It is working well, no Error-Massage and make a good job. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Siegfried

Thank you Plerry

Noted and Thanks!

Not a good idea. Way more complicated, if not impossible, and likely more confusing down the road.

I have updated dozens of versions and have not lost any settings

Ah the classic 'I've been staring at pixels too long to be competent" error Been there oh so many times

Normally port 21 is reserved for unencrypted connections via traditional FTP. Perhaps you can ask the admin if there is a separate SFTP encrypted port number such as 22 for example…

On a Mac, the Finder retains create and mod dates when a folder is renamed or moved - so this is the expected behaviour that I would hope FreeFileSync could learn how to emulate wi…

After running a comparison, try right-clicking one of the files and excluding from the context menu. This can provide some insight on the correct syntax as that is likely the issue…

Use Time Machine to back up your OS, it is simply the best option in existence. FFS is not a system backup/restore tool and shouldn't be relied upon for such use

Of course, the permissions are there to prevent other users from accessing your data. You can either run FFS from each account for backups or run FFS using sudo from a terminal.

I have searched the forum, and there are similar issues reported, but I can't find this specific issue. My setup: Synology NAS on my LAN. Directories are mapped in Windows 10. I am…
