FreeFileSync Forum

[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,…

ok, great, thanks. I figured it was something to do with how the 1TB drive has no options for the trash bin. So far this program is exactly what i have needed. I tried to get dupli…

Check out this answer [URL] Also for none UNC files you can write a batch file (rd ....) The script is working - maybe one can run is a batch file after the sync

First off, do you need to use ftp: ? On my end, I simply use something like: \\NAS\back\My Documents. --- Outside of FFS, can you ftp:// to your NAS? (You can do that with your bro…

Oh, no, what is doing is coping the files in OneDrive root folder instead of the real destination, making some kind of double linked files between the real destination place and th…

Just files compare and SYN in between two SSD. Just start the program with and need to be reinstalled. Well, I encounter the reinstallation problem every time restore my Win 10 who…

[Quote] This method is very useful

In FFS options, it tells you where the logs are stored

To answer for others : is was the HD, it was failing. Changed, and all seems to be fine from now.

The server of the network storage I sync to apparently gets overloaded by the FFS read and write activity, gives up, and tries to restart itself - according to the sysadmin. This a…

[Quote] I figure it out from first answer. Is it possible to add this a feature ?

You can use [URL], also in the definition of your left and/or right base location. If you define a right-side base location that does not exist yet, FFS will ask if it should creat…

Not exactly solved, just protocol was changed to Samba 2 in several machines.

We found the problem. It was a crappy DSL line in the office walls. Therefore not a software problem - a hardware problem! Now everything works fine.

Appreciate the response, i think once a day is fine. Now trying to get task scheduler to automate it and not break every morning will be good.

Thank you for the quick response, I was confused as to where these variables are available and that it was actually in the RealTimeSync's command line field, not in the terminal it…

I have a Netgear R8000 router using DD-WRT firmware with a USB directly connected to it as a NAS device. I am able to sync using FreeFileSync, but I am unable to monitor the remote…

the "photolibrary" is not a file, it's a folder, so you may need to clarify or change what you are wanting to do

I've submitted an issue to the Flatpak app on Github. [URL]

Thank you for this return, Unless I am mistaken, I did not find the answer or in the help or the FAQ, maybe because I am French-speaking? On the other hand, the solution was commun…

[Quote] I know @4world, from the beginning of this issue, I have the exact agreement with you, and I dont understand this defensive behaviour as well. I'll definetely check the sug…
