See the "Example: Complex filter rules with exceptions" section of the [URL].

FFS is not made for the purpose, but there are ways to do this. You can use time span settings to only sync files applicable since the last sync. Any solutions involving FFS are a …

[Quote] Much appreciated! Is there already a time frame for this? Like "in a few weeks" or "half a year" or "maybe next year"? [Quote] Is there a way to have multiple RealTimeSync …

I made a mistake with file name it's sshfs NOT SFTPFS. I also use the windows version you mentioned.

thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually tried that, by changing the compare from "content" to "file time & size", but was confused because the synchronization took just as long. I…

Locations/paths are likely wrong

Sounds good. Since rsync also does not preallocate by default, this should be fine. I just had a quick look at rsync's manpage and there is a switch that has to be turned on specif…

You can [URL]. In its simplest form your first left-right pair could be [DesktopPC] => [BackupLocation1] and your second left-right pair [DesktopPC] => [BackupLocation2]

It seems you are using the Update sync variant in the FFS sync settings (F8). As you can see in the FFS GUI, when hoovering your mouse over the Difference Categories and correspond…

It seems you could use the [URL]. Then simply define your time-span to start on the date of your previous sync

Didn't get a chance to test that version (the beta is gone now) but wanted to say that the actual v12.3 still has the problem...

@Zenju, Cool, thanks for the prompt feedback. Cheers, Mike.

So if you remove all filters and it works, but then put the filters back and now it doesn't work, the problem is your filter setup. Post a screenshot of your filter settings and th…

I think I do this. Thanks

At least he isn't taking 5€/month for the donation version anymore. I already donated more then a commercial program would cost. The donation version is for "you and your friends":…

Forgive me father for I have sinned! Checked your suggestion above and found it fixed the 'problem' - my bad. Apologies.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is the rule - "Alternatively, you can avoid the problem in the first place by only synchronizing from FAT to FAT or NTFS to NTFS file systems." - the sa…

Sometimes when I sync between odrive and Autodesk Docs, it will delete the file from Docs on the web but keep the file on my local machine in a static "sync" status. I have my dele…

So I can get a start on catching up with your 2837 forum posts. You have my deepest admiration.

The pictures are super low quality and the text isn't legible

IT could probably say exactly what is happening in why

> What is the basis for your determination Not sure which determination you mean. If you mean my determination that your expectation based on the FFS manual page on versioning, sec…

[Quote] The latest FreeFileSync update added background highlights for comparison and sync buttons. The blue background on the screenshot means the compare button was not pressed. …

Hello and thanks again for your help. In fact there was some "virtual A to B and B to C" like you said with the ".gdoc" files of Google Drive synchronized files also with FFS... So…

You also could have deleted the symlinks manually in FreeFileSync first, after sorting all items by "size".

No, that's exactly my point, the progress dialog only remembers its size, not its position. Windows 11 22H2 x64.

That error usually means it couldn't turn a hostname/location into an IP address. This could be for many reasons, but I wouldn't look at permissions first.

You can just install it directly

Also a note, being an administrator is not the same as running something as administrator. The built-in administrator account has elevated privileges. Microsoft is kinda unclear ab…

The last sync date should (according to other threads) be in the GlobalSettings.xml file. Location: see [URL]. However, that dat should not be relevant. Simply run your sync config…

[Quote][Quote] Both are (likely locked) system files that are useless to backup/sync. Simply add those file to your [URL].

Well, if the error indication from Windows is non-specific I agree. What else could FFS do? Thanks for bearing with me on this. For my part, FFS is a 5-Star program. I hope that me…

No, they aren't all .zip files. It has happened with a bunch of different files and file types, and it seems to change sometimes from Compare to Compare op. My Synology NAS has the…

12.2 64bit. My credentials are OK, with Filezilla they work perfectly. If I put \ as the directory "access online storage" panel and press "Browse", FFS states: Cannot read file at…

Sounds like this: [URL] I am betting these users have a zip extraction program, probably WinZip, that is set as the default program for .zip files. OR, maybe they are seeing an ad …

THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE! my comparison was like this (attached photo) but I re-made "Configuration" and now every data sizes are same now!

IBAN is not an instant payment method and generally takes a few business days to clear.

IBM Mainframes are big-endian machines.

What confused me is the concurrent apperance of all this: Language options are not mentioned in the user manual So I found this discussion searching the forum which hints to the co…

Also, you may have been using the filters at the bottom of the comparison results to only show certain actions.

At least we confirmed where the root issue is! You may just have to have a FFS setup on each that 'fetches' from the other and never sends

That did it. Thank you. Tried about everything except that, so why am I not surprised. Lol. Thanks again, Larry

Chances are the locations/filters are just set up incorrectly. At least you have it working

Uninstall FFS then try again

Tested USB tethering. It was worse than Wi-fi for me. It does work though in case you want to try it. Also tested an SMB server and it stank. Very slow.

I've just reconstructed the setup to screenshot the problem, but now I cannot reproduce it! The server was probably the one returning the wrong timestamps last week. Thank you for …
