FreeFileSync Forum

Depends what you want to sync. You could share the location you want to sync over the network and be sure to create a user account on the sharing machine that you give access to th…

[Quote] Thanks for the tip. I will go that way. I will also look at other exclude option: older than x days.

both times..when i click compare and after I restart FFS.. even after a long time...

[Quote] That's already the current behavior. Maybe you're running an old FFS version. Or you're not really running a "sync" but doing a "compare" only. Just tested, and renamed fil…

The link does not work. I would like to test the version but of course it would be better if a fixed version is released soon that also includes all recent updates.

Remove all your antivirus software, anything more than Microsoft Security and using your brain is a waste of resources. Do a sfc/dism scan of Windows or just do a 'repair install'.

a different program can do this. beyond compare by scootersoftware. it allows you to collapse the directory structure and do a flat comparison of contents of subfolders. you can al…

Greetings! I'm a new user on the forums and I looking for some advice. While, I haven't downloaded the program yet I'm so happy it's open source. So, I did a search of the forums a…

Same here, it is happening just now, it was fine a few days ago. Starts with this message with one file: Cannot delete file "/Volumes/El ocho/CloudStation/PERSONAL PHOTO WORK/AAA R…

Probably muner0076 refers to the Export File List option available under FFS / Tools after running a Compare. This list exports as a *.csv file, but generally opens in Excel (if in…

So there is no specific FFS XML documentation. Okay - thanks for the clarification.

For information and in case it helps, the sync that failed because of the ≠ character was between two computers running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 via the local network. I also have…

The .run file is a compiled x86_64 iirc, which means that you do not run it with sh or bash or any other shell. You need to mark it as executable (which you have already done) and …

[Quote] Now also possible via GUI: [URL]

[Quote] Done: DefaultExclusionFilter can now be managed directly via the sync settings filter tab (F7): [Attachment]

Hi, I can't get FreeFileSync (11.12) to sync files over 10GB (I think) via FireWire on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. It hangs indefinitely and I can't stop it or quit. It also hangs t…

Now it is clear, thank you for your response, and patience. Now my workflow is working seamlessly.

[Quote] Did you find an alternative? Have same requirement. Thanks

Not enough information to assist. Sounds like your source was empty and you synced that to the destination. Do you have versioning enabled? Do you have another backup location? If …

Found the email in the Spam folder. New version installed, thanks.

My scheduled FFS batch job has seemed to run more smoothly, except for one hiccup, since selecting "Run whether user is logged on or not" but I recall I also recently set a couple …

I'd suggest narrowing down on a single example file and doing some tests. For example, for one file that you assume existing on the network side, but that FFS shows as "not existin…

ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND is masking the real error, which I suspect to be something like access denied because there is no authenticated session to this server. Evidence is the passwor…

Thanks very much. Good to hear that the issue can be fixed! As I said, after deleting/re-creating ~/Library/Application Support/FreeFileSync several times, FFS has been working fin…

No problem, I'm here to help! Glad you got it working!

Actually I don't think the realtimesync can monitor and sync to Google Drive. You see the thing I am trying to do is bypass Google Drive inability to share a folder with a friend a…

Interesting. I always assumed USB was slower than ethernet. Good to know the real story. I have a 2TB nvme SSD that I use as an external drive. It's a clone of my main drive using …

Hi Zenju. No, the problem persists.

Hi, thanks. Yes, OnDrive uploads an delete the file always. In my case I can disable this with LockDirectoriesDuringSync = FALSE Thanks, Peter

Obviously your laptop does not discriminate if data is local to your (V)LAN or goes external. It simply lists the data leaving its Ethernet interface. If you are interested in data…

Hi xCSxXenon, Thank you very much, it's ok now! Kind regards, Paul

Same error with the 11.13 beta. A cause could of course also be that the hoster does not use the most recent version of ProFTPD. But they are not willed - and I can understand that…

That's helpful thanks

Go to the synchronization settings and read the description of each sync method. You will probably want mirror or update, but you'll need to know the differences to decide

The db file is only for the location that it is in. So the "destination" missing it should, in my expectation, cause FFS to sync the data from the "source" again. But like I said, …

I still have installed it but the same issue ... ;-(

Wow thank you so much❣

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks very much, therub and xCSxXenon.

Thank you, that's the information I needed.

Tools -> Options -> Default Log Path

I never click compare as FreeFileSync apparently detected changes when I've used it.

Most versions within reason are compatible, but XP to 10 is an insane jump

You would want to use 'update' as your sync method, but it will not detect moved/renamed files

No, FFS is for syncing, not deduplication

Zenju, that and reinstallation of 11.11 fixed it. Thanks. I knew it had to be one of those "sloped shoulders and flat foreheads" things.

There is FFS, [URL]. Additionally, you may have set priorities in Windows Task Scheduler or via the desktop shortcut (Properties)... What you're probably running into is what xCSxX…
