FreeFileSync Forum

Started from scratch today using ffs and they mapped fine. It was easier to open two finder windows and drag and drop instead of typing the UNC paths which I possibly typed incorre…

You could run a system log, something is likely interfering with the operation [URL]

Nice that you figured it out, weird though. I guess manually blasting a programs data isn't just a Windows thing!

It is based on file IDs, that is how FFS detects renames/moves. Both sides would only have to support it if you are using two-way sync. Unix filesystems don't support stable file I…

With file size comparison, FFS didn't detect any change if edited a single tag in music file (track rating). I'm now using FTP server and it's fast enough and syncing only changes …

I'm sure there is a batch script that could parse the log file and complete that, but it's easiest to just double check in the compare window before it syncs

Yes, when run as SYSTEM, it won't show the GUI which is what that checkbox controls. The two FFS entries is normal behavior from what I have seen

1 MegaBytes is equal to 8 megabits so your 4MB/s to Google Drive is actually 32 mb/s, not far off from what you pay for

That doesn't sound right, so must be a bug unless we can figure out something else. Can you attach a picture of the results of comparing with each method?

PC with Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon, updated Android phone (AP) with docking station and 2 USB Sticks attached AP and PC are in the same WLAN FreeFileSynch v 11.11 Android 10 FTP Serv…

Thanks 11.11 donor version installed

Please excuse me but I got confused. I did not notice that, on the right side, was indicated the absence of the file and not the difference. As if the file was not present on the N…

(I wouldn't know nearly enough to actually comment, so I just throw a link out there - that might or might not be of benefit: [URL].)

It works! Thank you!

update: the scan/sync completes after all. The scan phase takes about two hours interspersed with several pauses of about 10 minutes. The actual sync takes less than 10 minutes. I'…

Well, I finally found the search function in this forum. Which means I found lots of answers regarding AUTO-UPDAT! Thanks you all. Jsusko

WoW! Thanks! I put this option into my FTP configuration and now it works! :)

Thanks fou your prompt reply. Yes, I can access the share via Windows Explorer by entering \\hostname\sharename in the address bar. Yes, I've tried using \\hostIP\sharename with no…

all working now after re-installing and creating a complete new batch file

I need to be able to add a line of code to the application manifest in Win-32 under Windows 10 to enable long file names (long full file path), which I have already enabled under W…

Wow that was fast, thx for the suggestion and the confirmation that this option is actually not existent. I used your ffs_batch-file and created a small auothotkey script to change…

Thank you very much for the new linux installer and the console command feature for FFS. But we also need a console command for realtimesync. Please! Thanks in advance.

Set up a sync that only works with that folder, and use task scheduler to sync it on a periodic scheduler instead of being monitored. [URL]

Works with one phone, not the other, so start with the phone itself. Make sure it is set to MTP, but other than that, it may be another victim of unreliable MTP/cable/etc

Heh. I was just reviewing this, & not quite sure where my head was. In the above, any reference to BRU (quite a different utility) should be replace by "FFS". %s/BRU/FFS/g ;-).

I actually answered my own question. There must be some permission issue on the netapp side. My account is granted via an AD group. I granted my user account direct FULL CONTROL on…

The FFS Copy-to function in the GUI is only available in GUI, not in a batch file. This makes sense, as the Copy-to action only applies to items you have selected prior to the Copy…

You don't create RTS batch files, they don't exist. You don't add files to anything related to RTS, only folders. I guarantee that you created a FFS batch job and are autostarting …

I had the exact same problem. Thanks!

I updated the globalsettings.xml file which resolved a previous error I was getting, but now I'm seeing this [DirReaderPlus] error message. Again i've explored the options above an…

Many thanks for your quick answer, xCSsXenon.

Just remove it and go to the link I posted above

Thanks to both, that should be enough. Cheers

Those files may have been moved since that first sync? Or since you are doing content compare, if any details/metadata/tags got changed, then that's a difference to be detected. Ha…

Thx, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I am using an old version of Xubuntu on a old laptop with no PAE support and unfortunately I cannot upgrade to a newer version for t…

Do you have a saved configuration? You should if you don't, because you can save it as an update sync. FFS doesn't change the sync method on its own. Two-Way is set to overwrite ol…

Hi there, (it's a long one thanks for looking at my problem hope someone can help). After the rocky road to install everything worked fine for a couple of days. But after a few sys…

That works for me! Thank you very much! I'll get another donation edition again soon, or, if I need to reinstall, can use the free edition. (sorry for the delay in getting back; Re…

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a shared drive too. It did not solve my problem, though. It is still missing files. As a test I downloaded some to my destination folder and …

[Quote] This setting is definitely being reset against the user's wishes, this behavior has been occurring for many years, and yet this thread has no responses that suggest that th…

When an FTP server does not report "UTF" in its FEAT response, FFS assumes ANSI encoding, that's the problem. So what is this FTP server's repsonse for FEAT? You can check by issue…

I've been attempting to run a sync between a Windows 2008 Server FTP server and a local environment. While most folders sync successfully, I'm getting a timeout error stating that …

Still not work. The problem is when FreeFileSync GUI is open at the same time as a scheduled task is running in background. This causes the issue and this task last sync info will …

Could you explain that further? I can find Control | System and Security, but I'm not sure about "drive select"? Are you speaking of [URL] (SystemPropertiesProtection.exe)? (I don'…

Ok, I ran some tests to see how it worked exactly. I made a RTS task to mirror a folder on an internal drive on my main PC to an external drive (mapped to main PC) on the Plex serv…

[Quote] Thank's Xenon. Is working like a charm :)

Thank you. My bad. Long ago I had excluded these particular folders because they were no longer being updated on the source disk. I must have read right by the exclusion list when …

I installed the most recent version of FFS so maybe the fix wasn't applied after all?
