FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks @McGyver, that worked well, though I simply selected all on the destination and made the selection.

What does "But use Nssm can not work" mean? NSSM throws an error? It installs the service fine but never runs? It installs the service fine, runs, but the FFS config never runs? So…

Ok, so I kept digging here, and I don't think the issue is related to what it was that I thought. I was originally only reading the Errors and Warnings summary, but when I look at …

Thank you.

[Quote] Thank you, Plerry. Finally I figured it out.

Hi, Another solution is to use one of the available utilities that are capable of mapping a drive to different server types and I know one that supports FTPS. This way you can use …

[Quote] Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately that doesn't work. Because those google files still have size (shown in the second image). And if you exclude size 0 then empty…

Thank you for your explanation. You were absolutely correct -- it corrected itself. I had left to join friends and when I returned and started the FFS over, it functioned perfectly…

If you know upfront which files FreeFileSync (FFS) needs to Compare (and if necessary: Sync), you can list those files in your [URL]. You can do so manually editing your Include Fi…

Hello Im using Linux Mint since recently and I did run FreeFileSync several times in LinuxMint without any issues. But suddenly now its not working any more and an error appears in…

Sounds like RTS isn't the best option for your environment. A Scheduled task that runs periodically may be better for you

Bump! Anyone able to help here?

Hi all, I somehow got it going, I read somewhere, where someone had a similar problem, he was asked if he uses the same username on both machines (don't know the answer) but as I d…

+1 for signed sources. Additionally, I'd advocate for FFS' website to present checksums, e. g. SHA-256 or SHA-512 for each of their downloadable files. In my view, this'd simplify …

Problem can be solved if you set/use sFTP not FTP for bigger files.

I seem to remember a thread in this forum on a similar or the same topic (but failed to find it). If I remember correctly, FFS only deletes files (if necessary for the sync), but d…

> All this thread has taught me so far is this forum is not the place to get help. And all this thread has taught me is that you apparently expect or hope people will spend time an…

Well yeah... Like I just said, Mac OS doesn't have a way to access NTFS volumes and the data on them. Paragon's APFS and HFS+ for Windows programs are good

My bad, I thought that I understood your post, and I did not! I went on the machine hosting the network share as explained, and set up the "m1" user account that is in use on both …

Ah yes, FUSE issues. The main topic of my Operating Systems class that still never makes sense LOL

[Quote] I'm on version 13.7. FWIW, after the sync phase of the FFS run that showed the conflict with the folder, I ran FFS again, and after the Compare phase, there was no conflict…

If all you did was cancel and then start again, FFS just picks up where it left off. Canceling a sync doesn't undo anything already processed, it just doesn't continue with the rem…

The FreeFileSync app crashes/closes instantly when I click the X close button or the Close button in the window. The following appears in terminal when I launch freefilesync via te…

> I've got the Donation Edition version, and there I can make several separate backups. Running several separate backups can be done just as well with the standard (non-donation) v…

Everything credit card-related is handled by Stripe: [Quote]

Figured it out... I was wrong, it was not something that changed on FreeFileSync side... it's msft defender that changed how it works - previously, it would only flag a file on acc…

Hi Zenju, Well on my testing devices (macOS Sonoma 14, macOS BigSur 11), see post of 5-jul, I don't have anti-virus running. For what I could peak in the available source-code ([UR…

<Resolved> That did it. We are back "on the air". Thanks for the assistance!

Just installed Donation edition 13.1 It tells me 13.7 is available. Cannot figurte out how to get auto-update working Advice appreciated Jeff

On both my Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, all fully updated and running FFS 13.7, logs are deleted according to the setting specified. This clearly seems like an issue with y…

Thank you for the speedy reply.

This is correct behavior based on what your picture shows. The sizes are different, so FFS knows there is a mismatch. It looks like the timestamps are the same, so FFS can't know w…

[Quote] You can't synchronize without comparing first. If you click the synchronize button, it automatically runs a compare first, if one hasn't been performed already. This seems …

Thank you, I'll try that today, I'll create some changes first so that sync won't complete right away.

1. Agree 2. Agree 3. I feel like the inclusion of any .ffs_gui should cause it to start in GUI mode Seems intuitive for all three options. You could also add flags, --gui and --nog…

Interesting... I wonder if it relates to file-streaming. You mentioned you use the Google Drive app for Windows, have you tried with the native GDrive integration in FFS instead?

This is almost certainly a path/location issue

Or why not just mirror-sync D:\Development\RootFolder\FolderA\bin\Debug\ to D:\Nuget-Local-Cache\

The problem persists. Hovever, I managed to send a donation by sending it to your donation email address directly from PayPal without using the donate button on freefilesync.org

Open the GUI of RealTimeSync (RTS), and then open the faulty saved RTS configuration (*.ffs_real). In the Command Line field of the GUI, you can then change the path to the specifi…

gvfs-fuse is an app related to a file system called fuse and it's likely that if that app was missing it was the cause of your problem. For example some applications are written fo…

Thanks for the answers. I can confirm that this is not a problem with FFS. I plugged the drive in my Windows PC and the creation dates appeared fine. Maybe a display bug with FUSE …

[URL] You can change deletions to be permanent instead

Your intention and opinion are perfectly clear. But that does not change the fact that FFS does exactly what is written in the manual:[Quote] So, any files and folders that do not …

Tried "resetting"; eventually I was able to delete it from S: (which is just a mapping to physical drive E:). And then when I run the sync, I get the same error, despite the fact t…

[Quote] Thank you!! You're absolutely right & now everything works.

[Quote] Looks like some spammer using AI!?

It was solved by the answer here: [URL]

I'll only add that it is odd, that looking at the UI, you would expect to be able to set any or all of the 3 conditions (& that they be retained, of course). [Code] (Like how the N…

@frozn1991 You asked exactly the question I wanted to ask, and for exactly the reason you did. The answer is simple. Instead of creating a batch process, create a normal one. Then …
