FreeFileSync Forum

Has anyone used FreeFileSync in a managed/MDM environment? I have a .batch file that triggers based on a script, but it chokes on accessing the ~/Documents and ~/Desktop folders. T…

Please add function that can be revert to old view (10.24 version), thank you

As a one-time action you can use this [URL] option.

Plerry is correct, the registry is not a folder. You can sync the registry hives themselves, DEFAULT SAM SECURITY SOFTWARE SYSTEM are the five main ones. This won't do you any good…

I've seen this issue with USB drives, it has nothing to do with FFS though. You have to use CMD and DISKPART to remove the read-only flag for the drive. May have to reformat after …

Thank you all for your answers！ Have a nice day!

In order not having to deal with temporary office files, you can add *\~$* to your FFS Exclude Filter.

Thanks!

Point taken. Thank you for your prompt reply. If I can reproduce the behavior I will pass it on.

So you need to sync C:\ to O:\C\ and change the include filter to only include myDirectory

It sounds similar to a OneDrive issue where the files aren't all stored locally, so it can't sync them. Is there a way to make Box always keep the files stored locally as well?

Did you reserve the IP on the machine our in the router? If you reserved it in the router, then obviously you would have needed to do the same on the new router, so that doesn't so…

Ok, so, like I think, if I want to do it faster I should split this 8 folders, into few RTS instances. Now, like you said, much time consuming. Z: drive is samba drive on router. I…

Works great - thank you!

Thank you therube.

See, [URL].

That sounds like: "With SCP protocol the option is used to counterweight time difference between timestamp of remote file shown in directory listing and timestamp set on downloaded…

[Quote] Hi there, I tried as as per your suggestion and I enclosed the command within, [Code] and it works according to my need. Thanks for the quick answer.

Thank you Pierry

No. If you do have a recycle-bin active on your NAS (that FFS is unaware of), you can simply ignore the warning. The NAS will then (still) move the "to-be-deleted" file to the recy…

[Quote] I'm glad to be of help! I'll let you know if I run into any more problems with it!

OK I found the solution to my problem. It's migrating to SFTP. Doing it is very easy, much easier than setting up vsFTPd all together. I followed this tutorial: [URL] Hope this hel…

The settings window where you select what sync method you want tells you what they do. "Update is the same as mirror, except that deleting files from the source will not delete the…

Move them from whatever folder they are stored in temporarily, that should remove them from the GUI

No, that is no longer a sync

(You're correct. It is SMBv1 which is not secure.)

[Quote] 550,000 [Quote] [URL] And I'll throw this in, fwiw? [URL]. And, [URL].

Perfect, thanks for fast and detailed reply!

The issue is, it doesn't fail... There is no error and the sync doesn't stop and retry.. It just keeps looping mid-way... I have to kill the process via task manager for it to stop…

I perfectly understand the idea but you can imagine, that "suppose" is far not good enough to install the software on hundreds of company machines. So, as long we can not solve the…

No, the sync.db file tracks moveing and renaming for the location that it is stored in so you don't have to do a delete and copy for those operations. It just speeds things up. The…

In short, define a custom sync and you can decide what to do with conflicts

Might be. THX

Image didn't show up

It probably will

So it is, so far I have been running FFS as an adminsitartor. If I start the program as a user, everything works and I can access Z:. Thank you !!!

Hello, I am also hitting this error: [Code] The type of synchronization is mirror. The left directory is remote (sftp) and the OS is Solaris 11. The right directory is local and th…

Hello, I think I found what I wanted with the time span options. Thank you so much.

Thank you guys. Yes I think I will go the second path. Its mainly photos saved year-wise so I can easily split them between two sources. Also realized that since one of the source …

Thanks Plerry, That’s clarified a lot, especially with the links. Regards, Derek

> "With a one way sync it should be smart enough ... " This only applies to a an Update sync. Another type of one-way sync is a Mirror sync. And for a Mirror sync, FFS needs to sca…

Thanks bgstack15 for the hints! Before your edits, I tried the latest gcc 10 compiler (10.3) but it didn't change anything. I hit one other problem (related to zen/legacy_compiler.…

That's fine! You can also increase the number of machines allocated and shortening the donation period, then just switch it back after

Thank you Pierry for the prompt replies and helpful list of things to check. This set of folder pairs are between a laptop and cell phone. I reattached and restarted FFS to do anot…

Most likely an issue with an incomplete download, when the file size is not 20,142,821 bytes. Why is the download incomplete? Could be a number of reasons. For example a slow, unst…

Got it. Okay, I managed to do this via USB (MTP). Thanks!

Same issue here for Linux Mint 20.2 (Ubuntu 20.04 based). It worked well on Linux Mint 19 (Ubuntu 18.04 based). Downgrading FFS to 10.25 didn't solve the issue, so it seems to be a…

Hi Gianni1962. Yes I've just noticed that my self and thought I'd update this thread when I saw your reply. I've been staring at it to long. Thanks for your reply. Now sorted...

You would have had to keep the installer this whole time unfortunately.
