Any amount

OK

After the syncronisation, I tried another comparison of the two file systems without any error message now.

Hello Zentu, I have a number of backup disks, preferring to spread my backup risk to multiple smaller disks rather than all to one big disk. Then ... I have separate tasks for, say…

I'd suggest you do a few tests with different user names. Most likely the space is the problem. AFAIK many FTP servers don't allow this. Perhaps the clients you've tested with inte…

In the RTS GUI you drag/drop your FFS sync configuration (a *.ffs_batch file you created) or specify your locations to be monitored and the command line invoking FFS to run the spe…

You probably use WiFi FTP Server 2.x on Android 10 running on your Samsung S9. I used to sync files between my Windows PC and my Phone with FreeFileSync and WiFi FTP Server on the …

If you modify a file, I suppose the date and very likely the size of the modified version will change. If you then run a Compare in FreeFileSync (FFS), comparing by "file time and …

[Quote] Of course :)

Any ideas?

I have no idea about Mac, but if you add a closing slash, or enclose in quotes, does that make any difference? /Volumes/FreeFile Sync/Zimmer 1/ "/Volumes/FreeFile Sync/Zimmer 1" "/…

Hello xCSxXenon, Thank you! You were right. I got 'er done! I was trying to follow a YT video, from FFS, and the first step shown was to click on the "New" button. I was trying so …

Now it's available from repository the version 12.0 and I was able to upgrade to this without any issue!

You're running the synchronization from a Windows PC, target is a macOS-hosted network share. Some (?) folders have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY flag set, perhaps because they conta…

i'm sending some new users your way and again thanks for such a great program :D

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I did mean "Task Scheduler". After just a quick look at the RTS help, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!

I kind of guessed that but for some reason the new files did not show in the diff. I should have looked harder. Anyways, all good now! Thank you!

the old one is still available ... so I dont know .. I am just ignoring it ... is it better to remove it manually ? and no i did not rename anything ... new ... VERY new to Linux a…

have you found a resolution to the ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED error? I am receiving the same error on 7 files out of at least 200 other files that sync fine. I sync from a local C: driv…

Mirror can also use the db files. When you select 'mirror' sync, make sure "Detect moved/renamed files" is unchecked

[Quote] Alright, thank you all for the answers. Following the thought process I've got another question , maybe this is tedious but I want to make sure I understand how the program…

Ah yes, that happens too. I spent an hour troubleshooting an app build and deployment (firefox) only to eventually figure out my big zip download was incomplete, so some of the fil…

Found the task and deleted it I had called it Freefilesync as the name btw Thanks for your help

Hi, same problem as andrews when updating from 11.29 to 12.0. Is there a fix?

Up

1. Correct. (Of course unless the date/time changed - which may not be the case.) 2. I would think, that would be the way to go. Do note, that it is you that still needs to determi…

Thanks, I had seen that but wasn't sure if some update had a workround

Seems to work fine on the scan/compare - just running an update sync now. Thank you so much for sorting! :)

To do some file transfers over sftp where extra permissions are required, I need to send "sudo su -" after initial connection. This is an option for things like WinSCP and SecureFX…

Error caused by Dropbox app!?? [Quote] [Quote]

Your locations are probably not correct or your filters are not correct

Time Machine backups are very weird. They contain a copy of every file backed up and every time it was backed up. But they use essentially "deduplication" to save tons of space. Th…

Great news, thanks.

doh! thanks!

However, the update of hours in FFS is systematically 100% OK on my Dell computer (Dell T7400, Bi-xeon, SSD, etc...) while on my two SONY VGN laptops, the hours are very randomly e…

No, the free and donation editions are functionally identical

Fixed! [Quote]

Well, because Rclone is working well, I wouldn't want to get into this again; however I'd like to point out that, in one instance of the several tweaks that I did, there I set the …

You're right. Implemented for the next release! [Quote]

[Quote] I have tried this. However, the file is stuck being "deleted" forever

Fixed! No need for documentation. [Quote]

They are stored locally only. You could sync the log location I suppose, but it won't update the 'last sync' column. You'd have to sync the "GlobalSettings" file between the two al…

Look at the documentation

Not supported

Hey, I recently upgraded to Windows11. Now I cannot connect to my server via SFTP, although nothing has changed in terms of ssh configuration, etc. For context: It worked fine whil…

Filter -> File size: Minimum: 1 byte

Hi, I have installed freefilesynch on my laptop that has a full HD display that I have reduced to 1600:900 and then a scaling to 125% of Linux Mint Cinnamon. Text seems to adjust f…

I resolved this with activating the checkbox: Properties>General>checkbox, "Run with highest privileges"

Apple's SMB implementation has many bugs. This is similar to: [URL] Essentially the problem boils down to: FFS: "Apple SMB, give me a list of file names" SMB: "Sure, here it is: Â,…
