FreeFileSync Forum

[Quote] i read somewhere that software can put config files in either AppData or ProgramData and that i should backup both. But either way i gave FFS admin permissions so it should…

Just had the same error message: Cannot delete file "\\DRIVE\FOLDER\sync.ffs_db.cd6f.ffs_tmp". ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [DeleteFile] All folder permissions on the NAS…

Thank you again, understood! I will check what to do next. Cheers

[Quote] Which is not what he suggested to do to fix the problem

Any help or suggestions ?

Great! Thanks, that's given me great relief. I was just now looking for a utility to recover a temporary copy of the data I had previously stored on another drive (I'd deleted that…

I'm not sure about how this Forum works. I posted a question a few days ago and have had no response, so it may be slipping down the Inbox to obscurity. I wanted to clarify my orig…

Thanks for the info! If it's caused by a network card driver, then I could try v11.27 one more time but this time with second network card that I have in my system (i225-V). The on…

What is the full error message? ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT is probably from STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT at NT kernel level: [URL]

[Quote] Ah yes! That makes total sense now that I am reading it. In my use with MTP, I have never had any issue with fail-safe copying but I do have move/rename detection disabled …

What OS & version of FFS? The error message, fwiw, mentions "move" & "exists [rename]", so does the file name, or similar, perhaps with out without the emoji ?, already exist on th…

ok. How to make a payment if I am from Russia? and paypal does not work with our country

So you have to save the RTS setup as a .ffs_real file. Then, put that .ffs_real file in a startup location: "%homepath%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startu…

@xCSxXenon, Thank you for your detailed explanation of setting up sequential batch jobs in FFS. I now have FFS/RST running exactly how I want it!

Any suggestions on how I track that down? It's the only example I've come across (so far) where I've had any problems accessing the NAS - I can easily transfer any of the files man…

[Quote] thank you very much!!! It's okay!

[URL]

Yes!!! You've solved my problem. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, I have understood in what i was wrong.

[Quote] It's definitely a false positive if it is being interpreted as an absolute path when it is not one. A filter at the "All folder pairs" level makes complete sense if multipl…

Yes, the first two lines are as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FreeFileSync XmlType="BATCH" XmlFormat="17"> I do have an FreeFileSync backup config.ffs_gui in the…

Just to note, since FFS 11.26: [Quote]

I am one step further. If you select all files after comparation you can right click -- > copy to This works fine so far, if anybody knows a way to include this in the automatic ta…

The Update sync variant leaves any files that pre-exist in your "target" location intact, even if such file does not, or no longer exist in the "source" location. > In which situat…

[Quote] Should be fixed for the next release. The issues seem to be related to hard-coded values of the "Arial" font.

Thanks for all of the help!

By copying folders with freefilesync from the corporate network to the local hard drive, I lose access rights to the files in my project, including .dwg and .mdb files. Making the …

Ups: [URL]

Done! :-) Thanks.

Well, because if I have other folder elsewhere that its content is not a cache but it happen to be the same name as the cache folder, then that folder won't get backed up. I just w…

Thanks, the beta worked.

[Quote] Let me try to explain again with an example. I have Folder A and Folder B. Both should be the same, so I want to delete one. I did a mistake and choosed in FFS not Folder A…

Change to 'Update' instead of mirroring

"ffs_batch" should also work for convenience. The result is the same as if you'd drag and drop an .ffs_batch file onto RealTimeSync. Fixed in FFS 11.27.

Of course!

Thank you, daviank, compiling with your patch works. I'll incorporate it into my package.

Tell me if I can somehow use a donation from Russia, since payment cards do not work((

Drawbacks: 1.) adds artificial file extensions, which is technically a corruption of the actual data. Google's file types don't have extensions in Google Drive. 2.) Downloading a l…

451 = "Requested action aborted. Local error in processing. " [URL] One would probably need to look at the FTP server logs to find out which "local error" exactly has happened.

Can't you just download the donation version again (which would then have your needed files)?

Yes, just grab Bin\RealTimeSync_x64.exe from any of: [URL]

That did the job, thank you very much for helping :)

Please disregard, my error. Working just fine, must have had one of those senior moments.

@MartinPC: Sounds as if the reason for the hang could be connected with the file accesses that FFS is making when populating the list controls. If that's the case (FWIW I'm not abl…

Hi! I'm unable to build Freefilesync 11.26 on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) due to the fact that only wx 3.0 is available. This is the first error I got: [Code] I remove the associated line…

Oh man! I vaguely remember another thread where some issue had the same solution and it had to do with a change the Google made. I can't find it now, glad you got it working. I was…

New to FFS... trying it out as an alternative to Chronosync. Created a batch and followed the tutorial for scheduling the batch successfully. However, I need a schedule that runs t…

Another build issue with 11.26 [Code] Fix might be: [Code]

Fixed! Thanks for the report.

Ah - could be the Task Scheduler thing. I'll look into that, thanks.
