Thank you xCSxXenon! With file explorer it has always worked without problems ... then I will try with a 2.0 port and not SS ... I have already tried other tips such as closing all…

[Quote] Hello. Joining late. I have the same issue (with files of all sizes): CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 15 seconds [c…

I would also like to see the "Verified Copied Files" added per config, instead of a global setting. It's handy to have on some drives and not others. I'd like to be able to just sw…

SOLVED In case someone stumbles on to this thread, the solution is to reset the folder attr to "read only". Who woulda thunk? Some more googling found this 6 year old post: [URL]

Hi, I just donated and received the Donation_Edition. I'm trying to install this in Linux (Ubuntu) using a silent install, but I get the error: ./FreeFileSync_11.8_\[Donation_Editi…

Thanks for you help. I think I can work with this RTS. I can not use fixed intervals, as I could then accidentally get temp files copied to the folder. The temp files are not named…

Best way to get a starting config is to drag and drop a .ffs_batch file on the RealTimeSync GUI: [URL] From the screenshot it looks like you entered everything manually.

Within [URL], the problem with syncing (reading) from Linux symbolic links was solved in FFS 11.6 (release notes: "Support reading FTP file symlinks"). This covers 99% of my use ca…

Thanks TAC109, I have just checked and that seems to be the issue. The problem USB drive is FAT32 while the one that was OK is NTFS. Much appreciated.

Sorry everyone, My bug was caused by a filter which excluded every files in the destination folder. Eveything is working fine now! Shame on me!

Hello, Thank you @dynosire for a tip - I managed to overcome the topic during the weekend by using rsync and Samba shares. Regarding FFS and CLI mode - I did not manage to use it. …

Hi Most of my files are in gdocs or gsheet format. I wanted to make a backup of the files but when I do so the backed up file only contains something like HTML code. Is there a way…

Yes, the .run file is a x86_64 binary, but it also contains zipped contents that unzip or 7zip (7za) should be able to extract. [Code] The main zip file that used to be the main do…

Thank you for this explanation -> Thread closed Resolution: It is not a bug, it is a feature. ;) BR Joe

They would have deleted if they ended up in the recycle bin.

Many thanks!

If you are running a bi-directional sync, or a Mirror sync with "Detect Moved Files" enabled, xCSxXenon's remark is likely spot-on. The ffs-db files work based on file-IDs. And alm…

You would have to sync all of the sources folders to one target folder and use the "update" method to sync to avoid pairs from deleting previously synced data. Is this going to be …

No. You would have to have OneDrive sync to that external hard drive by default. Otherwise, you have to sync the external with the local copy of OneDrive

Sweet! My pleasure!

[Quote] Yes, and I didn't see it 😅

As long as you saved the configurations as .ffs_gui or .ffs_batch files, the settings won't be changed. Sometimes, you may need to "open" them in FFS again. If you didn't save them…

Awesome!

^ Exactly right It is because the file name and info is there locally, but since that "Files On-Demand" is on, the file itself isn't downloaded locally yet.

Sounds like you want continuous syncing. Read the manual, look into RTS

It's been like that for years. Never mind, thanks for your very speedy response, I'll look for another way of doing things.

[Quote] Hi Zenju - thanks for the reply! Sounds good. I will try it after the release... I found a workaround this weekend: I created a "sync job" on another PC (Windows) with Goog…

Dear Zenju, sorry for bothering you again with a very old issue of FFS. I was still using FFS 7.9 on my old MacBookPro with OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) to avoid the alias problem. But no…

x-terminal-emulator just starts qterminal. On a standard Lubuntu system, qterminal and x-terminal-emulator are apparently the only terminals found in /usr/bin.

Found the problem and it's Windows related: In Task Scheduler: - Create the Task as instructed in the video. - On the General Tab - the Author line (Domain/Username) must match > S…

Leave exclude empty, that is excluding everything, causing the include filter to be meaningless. It doesn't interpret that as exclude everything except PDFs, it simply sees it as e…

Thanx for a reply. The only way I could get into this problem is to use "versioning" . Using that, I set it up to "replace" so that files deleted during the sync would be moved to …

You may be able to find a batch script online that can parse the file to extract the filepaths and pipe them into a copy command or congregate them into their own .txt and use a fo…

D: is a partition on a separate SSD from my boot partitions. I already use Everything, it didn't help. But I noticed that the inaccessible space was roughly the same size as my One…

Interesting. The original directory must have had some permissions blocking it

You can run FFS from command line. Just put that command in the batch script [URL]

The FFS folder gets added to the exclusions list in Windows Security in my experience

Running as a scheduled task is the only way it will work. RTS won't start counting its idle time until the directory is left alone

You can remove old activations from your unique donation link

It will not work that way

What are the locations?

For reference: time_t(-11644444800) = "1601-01-01 8:00:00 GMT" = FILETIME(288000000000)

That fixed the issue. Thanks

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I was wrong. I have followed your recommendation. It is solved. Regards, JC

Hi PIerry, thanks again for your feedback. I agree that your second bullet is the easiest solution. Unfortunately I do not think it will work for me, because: imagine having 3 FFS …
