FreeFileSync Forum

Looks like a bug in the network drivers. 0xffffffff is returned by GetLastError(), which isn't a valid error code and should never happen.

Thanks for the reply, things seemed to have settled down. I am still getting the errors when connecting through sftp but on running the compare again I am now only getting the new …

Here's a quick rundown: [URL]

You could delete them and run a sync to set the beginning "state". It is seeing the copy on the pen drive and computer as two different files. Depending on the pen drive format, ma…

I changed the permissions to read and write and that seems to have fixed it. Anyway all seems to be working now - thanks for your help.

[Quote] OMG how could I have missed it. Thank you sir!

By the way: For posting images in the forum, click the "Full Editor & Preview" button, just left of the "Submit" button. There you can add images.

Hi. Sorry to ask. But I have seen that again sync between LInux (currently MINT 20.1) is not working. To be honest it is since many versions that I cannot use for phoone (probably …

Oh yeah, I forgot I have hidden items visible. If Windows 10, go to the root of the volume, F:\ for you, and look at the top of the file explorer window. You should see "view" whic…

[Quote] @cnatkins How do you get the batch file to "set to run as admin" ? I am using Windows Task Scheduler thanks, sj

@sjbrowser - What was not helpful? The tutorial video's exactly explain what FFS batch files/jobs are and how to use those in configuring RTS. And that was literally your question.

All of my above input relates to (just) FFS, and does not involve RTS. FFS needs to run an a PC, laptop or server, and can not be installed on a (normal) NAS. If you set up your sy…

It looks like it is working fine from the pictures. You always have to click compare before anything will ever show up in the windows

Oh shoot! The 'disgusting' part wasn't referencing the original poster, it was rather towards myself and Plerry.

You probably ran a mirror sync on both devices, causing the laptop to delete anything that the first machine had synced to the NAS that the laptop didn't also contain. You need to …

Hello, sorry, I gave up, I uninstalled FreeFileSync. Instead, I installed SMBSync2 on my tablet and SmartPhone. Regards.

Yes. One windows 10. One windows 7. When I get all the media files properly scraped and tagged I will be moving the external drive to an Android machine. I will be doing the compar…

Same with RTS, you would need to run as a different user.

Easiest way is to run a compare, find the folder you want to exclude, and right-click it to exclude. Then you can see the syntax and where it doesn't match up

Hi, so having altered the xml to true with FreeFileSync NOT RUNNING OR EVEN OPEN. that should be enough for it to verify thereafter. When she said repeat the steps to make it stick…

Worked, thanks.

Hi Perry I now changed the account to execute the Batchjob to Administrator. When I click to "Ausführen" (Execute) no error message appear, the window flckrs a bit and nothing eles…

Double-click on the run file.

No worries

OK solved. I never thought to check the mount points. Normally when I install a OS drives / partitions are under /run/media/, I always change them to be under /mnt/. Somehow I miss…

RTS is only a directory monitor that will run a FFS configuration when changes are detected. You decide what operations are performed when creating a ffs_batch setup in FFS

Thanks for getting back. Good to know about the donation version. Still happy to have done it since I have been using the software for a while now, so money well spent. Does that m…

Ooops sorry, I didn't see the "hint" when mouse-hover. So they'll be removed on 27/02 and 04/03. Fine ! Thanks ! :) And keep the good work, you ROCK !!!

Thank you for the answer. I double checked here, and I am not using this option. And the job it is so far to complete. It is 1tb data, and is rebooting after few GBs.

What about local phone storage? I would run: sfc /scannow dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow in an admin command prompt. Yes, sfc twice, before and after dism.…

Works fine, your environment has underlying issues

You need to add those (root) folder names to your right-side base locations as suggested by xCSxXenon. If one or more of those right-side folders "H:\Backup\FolderA", "H:\Backup\Fo…

It sure will! Here's a wealth of info: [URL]

You are trying to do two syncs in one and that can't work. You will have to set up filters over two syncs to split up the content on D to the two locations. Splitting a backup to t…

Okay, ran "D:\" to "G:\bakup" [fake name for target] after setting FILTERS \System Volume Information\ \Config.Msi \$Recycle.Bin\ plus several of my own exclusions. Note-1: CAN hav…

[Quote] Hello, No, this is 2 différents IDs and password, but when I truc to connect, I add the username and password in the syntax (as a basic NFS connection on Linux). I can try …

Color me confused... That is borderline mind-blowing. I wonder if there is another software that sees 11.5 specifically and interrupts some process during read/write. I could see t…

Hi Zenju, Thank you for quick reply and very rich in information. Really apriciate that and your time. it is possible to know is there any possiblity for Freefilesync at least beha…

Thank you for that -- I stand corrected. I cannot find any mention of ignoring lines in the command line interface. My apologies. It is still a great program!

Reinstall?

Third-party builds of FFS are not supported. I'd suggest testing if the problem reproduces with the official FFS version: [URL]

How about now?

Tried the newest version yet?

[URL] [URL] Still a work-in-progress

TL;DR this error can be ignored The error is from a different app unrelated to FFS that tried to register a broken MIME file. "update-mime-database" shows errors for all applicatio…

@plerry: thank you! This is so helpful for us. I'm reviewing your response in conjunction with digging further into the docs.

[Quote] Been there, done that. I'm glad FFS got rid of dependencies to third-party platforms (including public bug trackers) :D

Plex can either put them in the original location or a different one. In my case it's different. I could come up with something but not sure it's worth it. I still need the Show su…
