FreeFileSync Forum

Which Unicode character was it?

I think I understand. Any 'update' method is going to ignore move/renamed files unfortunately, pretty much every backup/sync utility performs the same.

There are many threads on what you want to do, and is usually as easy as running a post-run command

That process makes no sense... Why would you unzip it into the folder if you have admin privileges? Just run the installer and have it get installed where it's supposed to. Also as…

Hi again, I'm using the FreeFileSync for syncing my SFTP destination. I need the same encryption method asked here. What I want is I'd like to provide public and private keys to FF…

0x1129 == ERROR_REPARSE_TAG_INVALID => STATUS_IO_REPARSE_TAG_INVALID? Are you able to compare this folder with the following version? [URL]

Can you verify that that file exists in both locations through file explorer?

I spoke to iDrive and they said this software will not work with their servers.

Check system resources on both machines during transfer. SMART health sounds okay if you can get 95MB/s on a file explorer copy. Look for antivirus resource usage. You can try FFS …

FFS should be creating a LOCK file that prevents more than one sync at the same time. As plerry asked, what are the problems with the database files? The FFS db files, or database …

Yes, just select "permanent" deletion in sync settings (F8).

I started a simple test scenario from scratch with 2 folder names with same case, then renamed either side, but after many attempts I couldn't reproduce the error. I certainly didn…

It's a work computer and has Sophos onboard.

You can't download old portable versions

What does ip a return when entered in terminal? Do you have multiple network cards or WLAN devices which keep changing?

Thanks I can see it now.

I don't think this is an issue with FFS. I think that I have an issue with my NAS which I need to further investigate. Daryl

Thank you, all good, fixed problem.

Thank you for both replies. Sorry i did not say anything earlier because each was irrelevant to what i described. I actually found what the problem was, a while ago. Sorry for post…

@therube Actually copying to a WD drive (not SSD). Volume is not raw but formatted for HFS+ since it is a spinning disk. The copy is not an image but rather individual files. Inter…

I accidentally posted this on the wrong thread. Reposting here. Okay, so I figured out how to resolve this issue. After a little searching, I figured out how to view, and remove an…

i donated 10.5 in windows (with paypal in 2018) and i need a version for linux, but paypal is unavailable.

Thanks, I did so. First I sync network fileshares with empty folder and then copy\replace files to original folder.

Run a scheduled task that deleted what you want from that location, but as Plerry said, not in FFS but in Windows itself.

What format is your external drive? If it is exFat, there can be issues. NTFS is best for Windows-only environments.

I have started FFS and RTS in the same way: by manually double clicking on the respective executables. So I guess this shouldn't be the problem?

You'll have to extend/renew one of them to 12 devices or do a new donation entirely

An "strace" could give a clue about what's happening during startup: [URL]

Ok Thanks

Hello, no, I already executed as administrator.

[Quote] Thanks for the link. I set up the crashreport on my Mac and rebooted. I wasn't able to get more information, though, because running it again, FreeFileSync now runs as it s…

Fixed! The second donation extends the first one now as expected.

Sorry for my late reply. I found finally some time to change it. This is the log entry: No protocol specified 11:00:01: Error: Unable to initialize GTK+, is DISPLAY set properly? f…

Sounds like a similar issue as with symlinks: copy the link or the target? FFS in general has a low-level view on the file system and it doesn't do any semantic analysis regarding …

Using FFS 11.4, 64-bit on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I run RealTimeSync using an Automator app that is started at Login using the "System Preferences/Users & Groups" capabilities. Thi…

When testing, you normally run that task under your user credentials. If you are not very careful, your scheduled task may run under different user credential, generally the system…

@xCSxXenon Yes ! I'll take up your precious advice. Thanks :) Just to upadate/inform ...... I downloaded the latest 11.4 version of FFS and EVERYTHING IS WORKING SMOOTH.[/B] I modi…

SOLVED!!! After a little bit of research... you can do it with cron under Mac or Linux: [Code] With this example it starts at 18:00 every day (and NO start after Standby!!!!) Using…

@xCsXXenon: The same thing has happened to me several times when FFS has updated. This most recent time, I struggled with other approaches for a couple of days but finally gave up …

So it was E: drive that you backed up to? And your backups were to a (topmost) directory named, Backups? (So something like: E:\AArmando Directorios\Backups\Imagenes\) What type of…

Seems to be working well so far, thanks for the tip.

Found the answers in FAQ: Copying NTFS permissions is not needed in general and is best left disabled. Go to Menu → tools → options and ensure permission copying is unchecked.

[Quote] It worked, thanks!

Yes

Just download the 11.4 version and install it again.

[URL]: Beta version 11.5 was unfortunately not successful either. Solution: I have now completely deleted the app and reinstalled version 11.4. So far without any problems. Thank y…

Today I am unable to ftp. The program connects to the ftp account, but cannot read the directory. Other ftp programs work fine. Please help? CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT: Connection ti…

Thanks, xCSxXenon. We have enough activity on Drive that this won't be an issue but I'll keep my fingers crossed that someday this will be resolved. Cheers, Tosh

AV = AntiVirus. I do agree as I don't use antivirus, and even disabled defender. It is definitely not harder than a reinstall and restore though. Unless you have images/snapshots I…

As always, it depends what the end goal is. lol Is it to process files, or backup, etc.
