Plerry, GREAT idea! Wish I had thought about it. It sounds logical and should work. It's better to have the mail server use a server-side forwarding rule (I do this in Gmail) so it…

Perhaps I misunderstand mirroring, but my D Drive (internal) has current year and last 2 years of photos on it while my H Drive (external) has 30 years of photos, don't want that m…

[URL] You can also do a search for FFS to find where it is stored if it isn't showing up in 'Applications' for some reason. Some programs, like Malwarebytes, have to be uninstalled…

I ran into this problem in old macOS Big Sur v11.7.10 and macOS Mojave v10.14.6 too with v13.1 (no problems with v13.0) when I finally updated my installations. The updated zip fil…

Hi. Did you manage to solve this problem? I have a similar issue with external hard drives (I used two of them) where I saved data on Windows and wanted to use them on my iMac. How…

You (pretty much) won't ever get access to the "Windows App" files, just add a filter to exclude those. [URL] Are you sure you actually want to back the whole folder up anyway?

What cloud provider are you using? FFS uses the same sync.ffs_db file every time it runs, so "there is already a sync.ffs_db" shouldn't be possible. When the db file is changed, it…

A) As indicated above: post in English B) Like the message states, you have apparently modified said files in both the left and right location since the last sync. FreeFileSync (FF…

All working perfectly!!! Thanks!!!

@Flowers4 : thanks for this idea... So I tried to use VPN instead, and it works ! Even if I think it is a bit not quick enough, it seems to work well enough, and it not needs any p…

Fixed! By implementing an even more elaborate hack! ;) [URL]

Once you run a compare, there are boxes at the bottom of the window to show/hide different items based on action. Make sure they aren't all set to 'hidden'

Most web hoster's FTP does in fact support the MFMT FTP command to set file modification times. So it is indeed working fine in these cases. In other cases, maybe it's not that old…

Hello, Synchronizing a huge amount of files (almost 500 000) via a VPN along the internet on a distant NAS (something like 30 hours of copying job), I found some errors in the log …

I'll gladly refund your donation, please get in contact.

thnx. and finally this tool can not compare files only by their content. this kind of comparison will be applied only if name and date are same. for me, it is stupid, but this is h…

Got it, thanks very much

In the folder there is a subfolder and that 1 file FirstRun that I want. The way I have done it this time is to include the main folder, then click on every single file in the subf…

Thanks, the mounting method works with Windows and Linux. But i have a weird issue on both OS. I can upload and download files within the file explorer, but FFS does give me 2 erro…

I've been using it for over 10 years and apart from a few catastrophes with not understanding what all the backup jargon meant, it's been the mainstay of my backup routine. I've tr…

Quick update. I paid my dues this year again as I do often as I use this program weekly at least. I had a drive die on me so I replaced it and I decided to set the new shiny one up…

Hi I have a question about filters. I'm doing a Two way sync between a local drive and a network drive. Sync should only happen if a folder called "SyncMe" exists somewhere in the …

As long as the files are accessible via File Explorer, you shouldn't have an issue. As always, test it for yourself

Cx works too. It's regular ftp, which is fine if you're only using it at home. I have Open SSH Server running everywhere, including on Windows. I guess I'm more comfortable that wa…

Make sure you are saving the configuration as a batch job specifically and check "run minimized" if you don't want it to be visible while syncing. Other than that, clicking "sync" …

Thanks for that - I did a gsmart test and the drives passed . But I did something and its now speeded up but not sure what I did..! Thanks for your advice..

Syncing 'in one direction' doesn't mean anything, that could be mirror method or update method. Mirror method is 100% not going to work if you put versioned files in the destinatio…

[Quote] I also suspect that the crash might be reproducible with these specific config files.

No interrupting (to me) infers a hard break (aka, Cancel [in FFS]). And I take it (& kind of expect) that FFS, on Cancel, actually quits any copy in progress, rolling back any file…

[Quote] Didn't see that you could save the created RTS-file, I just simply started it everytime.

Yes, that's a good thought, thanks!

I got it back, but made a donation as well. A great program to have.

I already thought so, just wanted to make sure that FFS doesn't support it after all. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Thank you! Thought it was just a minor bug. Hopefully it can be working soon.

Woohoo! Glad you got it to work!
