FreeFileSync Forum

Hi Y also notice the same kind of behaviour I get it after switching my share Drive from SMB1 (SMB V1) to SMB2 (SMB V2/V3) protocol. SMB1: everything is working fine SMB2: Error me…

@Zenju, Thanks for the post, I read it. As one comment/reply by Plerry mentioned about using FFS for something else that it's intended for, then wouldn't it be better and safer to …

ok, File => Open does the trick.. Any ideas why I can not delete files? Edit: i can only see the Error when deleting files from onedrive Edit2: Found a solution. I disabled the tra…

As I mentioned in another thread. The new 11.18 version resolves my issue. Thank you!

Happens to the best of us! That's why we're here, glad you got it!

Also, it's not limited to 3 devices in any way. I run 6 devices. "The FreeFileSync Donation Edition is expected to be used by the donor and their friends on up to 3 devices. More d…

Added user-configurable timeout for Google Drive: [URL]

Thank you for your reply. However, when I use the method Key file, there is no option to specify a password that should be used for authentication as a second factor. There is Key …

No, you can't just copy the "shortcuts". You have to have the OneDrive files fully local or some people have been successful in mounting OneDrive as a "local" location to sync with…

So to clarify, you are trying to install the donation edition? Your post says you aren't, so I want to clarify. If so, just download the windows version from your donation page, un…

Renamed files, are categorized under "Updated", not "Create" and "Delete".

Thank you! It works.

In the exclude filters I presume? Easiest way to filter out locations is t run a compare, then right-click the items you don't want and filter them from that context menu. Your syn…

Sounds like a flaky network connection. Windows hates when it gets hung up like that and explorer.exe gets completely destroyed when it can't finish an operation. I see this all th…

Should FFS adopt the inharitance and the permissions from C:\Users to Z:\Backup\<server>\Users?

If you try to monitor FTP remote directories for changes with RTS, you should get the message "protocol does not support directory monitoring". And that message says it all: it is …

Dear Sir, the FFS is the best way to sync folders. it is realy fantastic. but the only missing feature is: "Compare File and Folders by NTFS Permission" so, first option (Compare f…

I have not thought about that, but clearly that makes sense. Thank you for your explanation!

Thanks all for the feedback. And, thanks, especially to Zenju for fixing things so quickly!!!

Delete the existing files in the destination and sync again. Maybe there are permissions on these files that prevent deleting?

Let's try again with the following version. The FFS installer will be using $HOME, rather than "/home/<user name>". Hopefully this works for you: [URL]

Great! Usually I would recommend to right-click an item to exclude it, then there is no question on how you need to format it, but it's unlikely that you will run into something un…

I run mine 24/7 and will also get these at random times. It's usually from something else, like a bad shutdown, that kills FFS before it can even make a useful dmp file.

Yes, that was it. Need to select all or select specific files first. I was looking for a right click context menu to appear after the comparison. I used this feature, and really lo…

Dear xCSxXenon, Thanks for these clarifications. Not my case hopefully. Best, Samuel

That is completely different than Windows then, and I don't really believe that any program you use has that ability. You can't just move a file and expect a program to track that …

In simple terms, no you can't revert. Plerry is suggesting a proactive solution going forward, but there is no retroactive solution for your request.

Thanks for your explanation, makes sense in any case. However, according to my intuition, inaccessible paths would simply be skipped (with errors). I am aware that the manual shoul…

Oh, never mind. Apparently, upon install, you have to start and than quit the program before that file appears.

thanks! OK, I have a solution. Apparently it is because the computers were connected through sftp, and sftp doesn't handle symlinks too well. When I connect the computers with sshf…

Is the RealTimeSync icon grayed out all the time even after the external hard drive is connected? Are all monitored paths available when the external hard disk is connected? If so,…

Hi there, first, thank you for this wonderful Software and the active User-Forum! Tldr; I loose files by the end of the month using %Month-macro. My questions are: 1. Is there some…

[Quote] Ah doh! No wonder I couldn't find it. Thank you so much and sorry for the dumb question

That's may be the issue, it possibly changed the metadata. You should reformat the new drive and use FFS or something else to copy from old to new.

Disabling Fail-safe file copy didn't solve the issue and I still got an error message: Cannot copy file "\\192.168.10.199\Workroom\Backup\Outlook\TomerDor.pst" to "C:\TomerDor\Outl…

Nothing special, CPU around 90% on 8 core (it means around 10%) and 10GB of RAM free, seems that the MAC is not doing that great job. The drive was not case-sensitive, I have refor…

There is really no good way of doing this while allowing the source/destination to be changed/swapped. Zenju would have to include new internal macros for source and dsetination.

You can run the donation portable edition in a Windows PE. There are tons of Windows PEs to choose from. Personally, we like BobOmbs but have used Gandalfs in the past as well.

Glad you got it figured out fairly easily!

How big were these 15,578 files? If the total size is anything larger than the Recycle Bin allocation, some of your data can't be restored. You would need data recovery.

What does Task manager say about network and drive usage during this? How many files are you working with?

This isn't a problem with deletion, it is a problem with "fail-safe file copy". FFS copies the file with a .ffs_tmp extension and then renames it to the real name once the copy is …

perfect - thank you for your answer Obviously I was to stupid to read

Hi, I am trying to sync folders between an external hard drive (connected to the laptop with a USB 3.0) with an external SD card inside my mobile phone TECNO CAMON 16 Premier [Andr…

Thank you, but I'm not using RealSync. Also, it looks like I would have to set something up to get the additional log file to the user that wants to check it

Hello, i solve the issue. To complete my first message the error code is attached with the following : "impossible to move "D:\Documents\user\...\RecycleBin~xxfc.ffs_tmp" in the fo…
