I emailed Zenju who, fortunately, stepped in and manually removed the old 'device' - so all is working now. Thanks, Zenju & Plerry!

I do not generate any syntax manually, the error message is built, I believe, from the settings of my FFS configuration

Hi Plerry, I'm already using some email rules to this effect; I was hoping that I could simplify the process from Freefilesync, but it works as is so that's fine. Thanks for the qu…

I have server drives mounted using NFS and when doing a compare with a local USB drive, FFS does not see new files added to the NFS share. As a result the new files do not get sync…

Works, thank you for the hint Zenju.

I had the same issue, it seems to simply be copying approximately 1 file per second, so for my backup script I ended up first copying the files I want to a dedicated folder using F…

[Quote] Having bought the Business Edition recently I would hope such proposals to improve FFS could be at least considered by the authors. Anyway, going the open source path is an…

Problem solved. Thanks.

Yes

While it may be true that a synchronous I/O call "must" wait for the result before execution on that thread continues. It appears the I/O operation is happening on the foreground, …

Problem solved, because my locale LANG was zh_CN.UTF-8. Changed it to en_US.UTF-8 solved my problem.

Thanks for your explanation, I understand it now

This happens even on files that are not open at the moment of synchronization (even files I never opened at all). I'm using the following Global Settings: [Code] And the following …

Thank you!

Hello Zenju, the error only occurs when I tick the box "Independent of user login" on the "General" page and then "Do not save password". Depending on this, the task scheduler will…

RSync does not copy files in readable format from one device to another. I'm using it now to 'backup' one share on my primary NAS, to my backup NAS. The Share appears on the backup…

Well, it sounds like OP is setting a command line option for the context menu, which is related to FFS obviously. They seem to be saying that the command doesn't work and isn't sav…

Are there any instructions for building ffs from source for the windows applications? I've looked on several githubs but can't find any. In most cases when an application is said t…

[Quote] Very simple ofc.. If it detects that the target or source (depending on sync method) is an SMB share, ignore the recycle bin as it does not have one. So no, it doesn't make…

I need a way to filter out comparisons for Mac app contents, i e everything under .app/ in an macOS app folder hierarchy, yet that copies the whole app folder if that is missing or…

Hello FreeFileSync Team, I am an avid user of FreeFileSync on both Windows and macOS. While the software is incredibly useful, I have encountered a couple of issues when syncing fi…

Rather than risk it I unencrypted the source and encrypted after transfer. Being new I am still learning and may write a piece after more experiences. I am looking into which email…

No

Thank you for the reply.

Interestingly, I have found that if I leave my user account logged in through RDP, it runs the command and sends the email.

It's very possible that I'm just missing or haven't considered something. The /1 and /2 locations are SD card slots on a BMD Hyperdeck recorder - both listed under the IP of the Hy…

FreeFileSync does not give any option to verify the host key with an SSH connection and connects to an SFTP server no matter what host key is presented. This opens up FreeFileSync’…

[Quote] It has been suggested, and it will pretty much always be slower. The reason downloads are compressed is because thousands/millions of people download them, so the bandwidth…

Ah, I was assuming you were just short-handing the paths for simplicity/privacy.... Yes, you would need an SMB share with those locations inside

If you're still looking for an Android solution, I use this software from the Google Play Store. It turns your cell phone into an SFTP server, and then you can use the SFTP protoco…

Nope, those settings just don't exist anymore so they get reset to the default value when opened in the older version of FFS

neither drive is full and Ive already set permissions

Thanks, I appreciate the update on the threads & delay. One the Processed... just seems odd to me, that in a file *SYNC* app, we wouldn't care about bytes transferred, but bytes *s…
