Exception: ".ffs_tmp" files are FFS's own temporary files (see fail-safe file copy). They will always be deleted when remaining from a prior (crashed!?) sync.

I have observed the same issue. I noticed that the "scan" phase of the comparison says it is using "2 threads" which I suspect overwhelms the WebDAV driver. Yet, I do not see any s…

VMWare workstation 16.2.3 no longer has this issue. Thank you for your support.

These are unrelated errors as far as FFS is concerned. "retry" shouldn't consider errors that weren't shown beforehand. Solutions? • Maybe aggregate all errors "at a time" (what do…

Glad it works! Spaces and backslashes are completely independent. A space is just a space but a backslash denotes a directory traversal in this case. "C:\Batch\BatchRun.ffs_batch" …

[Quote] Excuse me, I'm an idiot. When I created the profile for FFS I excluded most of the other users' folders and just yesterday I wanted to start backing them up. I just checked…

I really wish MTP would get an overhaul or some kind of workaround, it's a shame. I somehow found a USB 3.0 cable plugged into a 3.0 hub, plugged into a 2.0 extension, plugged into…

Basically, select update instead of mirror.

yes did it.

Hi sorry for the delay. I did try uninstalling and reinstalling FFS. I also did a scrub on the partition from Linux, and I did check and reapply uid, gid and permissions. Nothing w…

To prevent any risk, make sure there is no overlap between the Versioning location of each of your syncs. So, instead of defining e.g. D:\Versioning as your Versioning location for…

Gotcha! It may be worth restarting the router

Since about 2+ Weeks, it looks like FFS is not able to retrieve file attributes from my myCloud instance error message: ERROR_CANT_ACCESS_FILE ...... [GetFileAttributes] so far, I …

That error code just means the task is already running... What step does "when ran" refer to? When the task starts on system startup, or when FFS is started by RTS?

There is no beta version. You will need to uninstall and reinstall the latest full release.

How do you know the db file is what caused the RTS trigger? Check the FFS log to see what it actually did.

Or, if you know there won't be any issues with idle time being too short or overlap, you can make batch configs with multiple folder pairs. I have a RTS setup that monitors a sourc…

Figured out. I had a startup at shell:startup. Silly me... Thanks guys.

The "="-field shows the files that are equal between the left and right side. Or in other words, there are 1979 (after deletion: 1978) left-right file pairs that are equal (e.g. in…

You can try using the FFS [URL] feature. For deletions that are part of a normal FFS sync, this works flawlessly. However, I am not sure (never tried ...) it also works for deletio…

Hey, I just wanted to followup on this: Today I have a very similar issue with the symlinks, but with this error-message: EACCES: Permission denied [symlink] I am trying to sync fr…

The "pdf in the middle" (...yaakov_bookletarpeggios.pdf") was in the (H:\) target directory because it correctly got copied from the same-named directory in the source (C:\). I lat…

Thank you! Found that and put it in place. ";-Dx

The only difference between the before and after FFS GUI screenshot is the presence of the Show Log (F4) icon at the left of Field #11. What does the log-file tell you?

What reason did it give for failing to set the lock? What are your source and destination? Maybe one of them is failing.

[Quote] This is exactly what I need to keep in sync my mobile phone playlist. It would be lovely to be able to specify an external file list through a .m3u or .m3u8 file. A radical…

Plerry Thank you for the bad news. LOL

Thanks, that strikes me as the only feasible alternative. I'm planning on doing just that, and on a weekly basis since snapshots saved at shorter intervals don't remain long on the…

Are you syncing with "C:\Users\XXXXXX\OneDrive"? Are you referring to the "on demand" option? I still have that and OneDrive saves files locally by default still.

Thanks, that sorted it.

Solved: from working RTS I saved ffs_real config file then I put a link to "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe" "C:\SyncPersonal.ffs_real" into startup folder Thanks St…

Settings are kept. What version did you upgrade from? This would be the first report of settings not being preserved.

Something's strange: FFS only treats file times less than Jan 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC as invalid(*). So if "Dec 31, 1969 7:00 PM" local time were equal to Jan 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC = tim…

Gotta love Samba issues lmao

Thanks very much for the information, xCSxXenon. Good to go!

It seems the present feedback is "just" the clearing of the left and right base location(s). Then clicking "New" again, does not (visibly) do anything, but likely said fields are c…

There isn't a change for the computers I have dealt with. Windows will show the console output by default, when running a bat script. His script isn't running FFS at all, FFS is ru…

FFS only needs to run on a single (Windows, Mac or Linux) machine. And (locations on) that machine do not even need to part of the sync. As xCSxXenon essentially already stated, th…

Hi Zenju, Installed the Beta. The error message: Unable to move "/Users/...... /Library/CloudStorage/One-Drive-Personal/Documents/ ..file.. " to recycle bin. CocoaError 256: The fi…

Hello ! just received confirmation email about donation ..again thank you very much for your support and kindness

I have the same problem, so still no change in Android's code. Is there a way to switch off fail-safe copy only on a session or configuration level? At the moment I have to turn it…

Thank you xCSxXenon

Select your left right pair(s) so it does not include your/a recycle-bin, or add the recycle-bin folder(s) to your Exclude Filter. The latter can be easiest done by running a Compa…

I was hoping I would not have to manually search for and delete the excluded files on the backup drive. Thank you for the information and the info on what the Update variant works.

Lol, no problem. At least it was something easy!

Just syncing files between my devices. Strangely it is working now. There is some problem with my Laptop/OS. Sometimes FTP access from Windows Explorer doesn't even work. Even afte…

@xCSxXenon, many thanks for your help - the "drag and drop" located above the text box was what confused me. That's working now. Thanks again for your time!
