[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!

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…

[Quote] I was trying to work with you to get the message improved. But that requires you to tell in which way the message is or parts are unclear...

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.

I have forgotten to specify that is running an a Mac with Mojave (10.14.6). All is working well (other freefilesync jobs are working well). The job was sync-ing two folder I use Th…

You should figure out what the purpose of the .ini files are and then determine if you need them or not. By default, FFS excludes desktop.ini files because they are not necessary f…

Thank you. I read this topic and realized, that FFS will not be able to accomplish my task. It's a pity. In this case, I will use a bat-script.

[Quote] Thanks for your continued interest in helping me sort out what should be straight forward (and probably is to those already familiar with the tool). Your earlier comment ab…

Just checked on a Windows pc where I updated FFS from 11.23 to 11.25 recently. Task Scheduler tells FFS to mirror a local folder to an sftp clouddrive. There's a log too right in t…

thank you for clarifying my concerns regarding size in FFS also thank you for the lecture about the MIRROR, now it would be a good time to lecture the owner of FFS and beg him to r…

[Quote] Explain the "internet-radio" part (& how SFTP plays into that)?

Hi Zenju As a non-profit organization, we cannot purchase a donate version to make available to our employees via script/GPO?

ToDo for FFS: Support overwriting files in Google Drive (rather than deleting and creating a new one).
