I encountered this error when I synchronized folders between my desktop and smartphone on Android 13. The problem disappeared when I unchecked "Fail-safe file copy" in the settings…

Add each folder you want to drop into a legacy folder Example: [Code] [Code] [Code] [Code] You'd have to break it down for every folder like that. [Quote]

I have the same problem. And also other third party applications met the same error when action on files managed by OneDrive. I tried to contact their application support of third …

After searching in other topics, I realized that RTS will not be able to do this, they use the built-in task manager from Windows, it is in the description of the program on the we…

[Quote] This is the result of the NTFS test :)

I ran RealTimeSync as Administrator and everything was fixed. Thank you, Dimitris Christakopoulos.

I'm confident, Your are right, the file table is corrupted. The question is: *How* did this happen. That are exclusively exactly these .ffs_db files. Never another one. And this pr…

And knowing that /\, I would recommend leaving the Windows directories as default for you anyway. it's just a folder name

How would it cause duplicates on the server if they are both copying from the server

Re-save your .ffs_batch configuration and make sure you checkmark the 'Run minimized" box

That is interesting... Such a weird and random issue, sounds like an issue where restarting the computer would be the solution. If that didn't work, it's hard to say what to look a…

Fixed! FreeFileSync will now show a warning as it should: [URL]

Hi, I get this error when I start mirroring this folder. I checked the folder content including hidden files, there is no such file in the source directory. It may be an old file t…

Let's suppose I am doing a Left to Right Mirror, and the Left side FileA is dated 1/2/2023 and is 10 bytes, Right side FileA is dated 1/1/2023 and is also 10 bytes. FileA and FileB…

@Zenju Oh that's right ! Thanks a lot :)

I've been having this error for months. I saw the other post about it but it was about Realtime sync. I only use freefilesync and the .tmp file that the photo shows is non existing…

Rather then excluding, would an Include filter work? So include (& offhand I don't know how to set up filters, but)... */PDF/.* B/* C/*

I have no idea if there was a change, as I had never tried anything like what you described before. Though on my end, by creating the empty directory on the right did allow the del…

all good, thanks

I synced a ehdd with a pc. i take the ehdd and mirror to a mac and sync between those fine but now when i make changes on pc, and try to sync to the mac with the ehdd in between it…

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Click 'open' in the top left and select the saved configs

So simple! Thanks ! :)

Hi, is it possible to use a path relative to the home directory when using sftp. i. e. backup/ or ~/backup/? As I found out the software always puts a / in front of any path provid…

A windows scandisk gave no errors on this new SSD. I renamed the old folder and created a new folder with the old name. To this I moved all the data and it works again. It must hav…

Perfect! Thanks a bunch.

Wonder if something similar to [URL] may have been going on?

Thanks, Zenju. I'm looking forward to when it's fixed. Am I correct in assuming that the jobs did run correctly, since the logs look good?

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" "/…

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
