I use a couple pairs/combinations of mirrors with multiple filters to deal with people added videos to a shared photo folder, but they are all using mirror

i just tried an install of the package you mentioned and it was already installed: check out my terminal output bellow.. i'm planning to do a fresh install and will test out to onl…

Solved my own problem. I did not realize that comparing contents will also compare timestamps and touch those accordingly rather than do a full move/copy.

So I'm using FFS with RealTimeSync to mirror my main drive to a second internal one. And it works great, I also mirror some data to my Dropbox folder but (many times a day) I get e…

I found something. On the one "configuration" that leaves empty folders the to and from are: "D:\Musikk\" and "F:\Music\". On the ones that have no trouble (tested one now and veri…

(Heh. Didn't even know it did license checks.) (On Windows) maybe something like [URL] (which might point out an IP) would be sufficient?

Thanks Zenju - this was the problem: "If you have mapped a network share to a local drive letter, and have set up Windows Task Scheduler to use a different user account, FreeFileSy…

You probably don't. You may have 5 versions of fileabc.txt that are from a month ago, but since there are only 5 versions, it hasn't hit the max yet. I'm not sure if FFS removes em…

[Quote] Thanks for letting me know. I'll have FFS ignore EIO in this case because F_PREALLOCATE is only "nice to have".

What if you create a batch script that runs the command you just manually ran in cmd, then have task scheduler run that batch script instead of the command itself?

By selecting a configuration and then right-clicking, you get some options. The sequence in which configurations are sorted can be changed by clicking in one of the header fields

[Quote] Thank you, I've added that to my exclusion list that should be the cause of the error. I'll let it continue on and see if I get any errors. Cheers! EDIT Just got the error …

Create two folder pairs, both with the NAS directory as the source and then one drive each, of course. You will have to use filters to include/exclude a subset of the source for on…

Bingo! Changed to Mirror and all ran ok. Many thanks.

Thank you very much for the quick fix. V11.10 works now. And thank you for all the work you put into this great piece of software!

You can start a command when you logon ie: net use x: ...

My apologies xCSxXenon, I appreciate your response.

Ok, fair enough. Thanks for the reply anyway, ,much appreciated. :-) Steve

Check SMART data of the drive(s) using something like GSmart, disk sentinal, or crystalmarkinfo

It's absolutely perfect for my needs, thanks much once again for the reply!

Hi, I am going to report an unreleased file from the memory by FreeFileSync 11.8 and 11.9. I run a night Windows backup job on Windows server 2019 1809 build 17763.1823. The backup…

Pending an update with feature as requested above, I've created a manual solution. 1. AB - after sync is complete rename B .sync.ffs_db to another name such as machineA.sync.ffs_db…

Pardon the delay, I'm finally home and I am happy to report that 11.10 beta fixes it :) Thanks once more M. Zenju #resolved

Ah, I see the breakdown. We would have to wait for Zenju to chime in to find out if that is a possibility at all, and then whether or not it is feasible

Maybe the network card MAC addresses are unstable on WSL2? This could explain the symptoms. You can check with ip a

Also, that is a really old version of Android and may not be an issue on more recent versions.

By default, FFS includes all files for syncing. So what do you mean by "I tried to sync it with full name, not*, not*.*, *.ncdb but none worked."? Unless you changed the default in…

That's great, thank you! I can not delete or rename the *.jpg files, as they are not showing in the real H folder. They only show in the FFS interface. But I have disabled the opti…

Hello, please I too have same request for S/FTP... otherwise for large files FreeFIleSync unfortunately no longer becomes possible. It is a critical need. It is a perfect software …

Thanks for the reply. We have other protection in place but just thought this could be another layer. It's a great product!

It seems you are running FFS on a Windows machine and on a Linux machine. If I remember correctly, some FFS versions ago the sync.ffs_db file format was updated. If your Windows FF…

If you mirror your phone to PC there sould be no problem at all. Setting synchronization as 'Mirror' and not opting for 'Detect moved files' means FFS doesn't touch any file and do…

I've been using FreeFileSync for some time now without difficulty. As of today, I've got some permission problem. (Cannot read permissions of "D:\My Dropbox Backup\Backup". ERROR_E…

Yes, THANK YOU !! That fixed it. GB

Or overclocks. Generally it is a system instability issue. I would first reset your BIOS settings to defaults and even look for a BIOS update if that doesn't change anything.

Yeah, VPN setup all depends on support on the router. Keep data caps in mine, if applicable.

No, the picture you posted originally is showing javascript code! Javascript is a programming language, it has certain syntax/layouts that can be picked up by people who have used …

This is not a FreeFileSync (FFS) supported action, as it is not a synchronization related action.

I have scabbed over 980,000 files looking for errors scanned drives buit found nothing. selecting \\computer\Data junst not working on mutiple requests but doing each \\computer\Da…

I want to synchronize the files in the remote vps to the local, but when the local client runs freeFileSync with root privileges, it connects to the remote vps folder via sftp. Aft…

today it's impossible to see the folders in my drive. Has someone the same problem? Mimma

Appears that 10.11 will be the latest version to support Vista. "FreeFileSync 10.11 Last FreeFileSync version supporting Windows XP and Vista" [URL]

I was afraid of that. It's a shame. Thank you.

I wanted to circle back to this if anyone else comes across this issue, and I found out how to enable SFTP (SSH) on Plesk. I was under the impression that Plesk does not support SF…

Thank you for your reply. I suppose it could be something similar...I just don't know. Wish I could stop it from happening, since it occurs every time I reboot Win10.

[Quote] What editor?

Files that do not need to be synced are by default not shown in the Compare result window. If you click the "="-icon mid below the Compare result window (=files that are equal and …

Fixed in FreeFileSync 11.10: FFS now carefully distinguishes "not existing" from "error while trying to determine folder status". First case: 1. if source folder missing: same erro…
