FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks. Seemed to have worked, thanks. You might want to document the way to do so somewhere.

Thank you dynosire!

Thanks --I'll give that a go.

That's great! Using the new version, my backup time was reduced from 15 minutes to 15 seconds... thanks very much!

thank you :) great software, helps me everyday !!

I appreciate your reply. But, Whether we are saying FFS or RTS we are talking about file syncing.. FFS is activate in one way by using the dialog page for selecting what folders ar…

Thanks for the very detailed response. Is it a big issue, of course not. Its just that in this era of Covid sequestering and isolation, there is little left to do other than spend …

It would have to be implemented by Zenju

So what exactly is considered an error? For example I have my files being synced across the network and if the network connection drops out, it'll say "waiting for connection" but …

I sync some folders with my cell phone via mtp and have noticed the following strange behavior: when I compare the folders on differences, it runs very fast. The first sync however…

"Impossible d'importer ...Setup.key : le fichier spécifié n'est pas un script du Registre.... (W7 SP1)

Thank you so much too. Tested this morning, it's now ok. @wingracer : as macOs is a unix based OS, and as you said before you have the problem too, you should have benefit in testi…

I created a guide on setting up both FFS and RTS for anyone looking to use it [URL]

Giving up on being able to make a Windows build of FFS, I found a similar project called FTPBox that has a full Visual Studio solution, so I was able to load it up in Visual Studio…

Ok, just uninstalled 11.7 DE and installed 11.6 after noting the attributes on the desktop icons. No difference.. in both cases.. files owned by me as the admin user [-rwxr-xr-x 1 …

Thanks for your help. But I got another Problem: I want to synch with an Folder on my smartphone. The smartphone and the Folder are shown in the Explorer: "galaxy\card\mydata", but…

You have two different FFS sync configurations: 1) one for documents (and picture files?) 2) one for emails Sync 1) works without issues. Sync 2) generates connection drops. Probab…

[Quote] ...well i do not think the host does - i played around with the shell on the Proxmox host system but could not identify anything like that (I am not a linux expert , though…

Aha, I understand the issue. Hopefully this can be added fairly easily then!

Perfect, thank you!!

Due diligence would have learned [URL] before multiple times.

> I have two Batch Processes set up. One shows the process on screen and confirms when finished, the other does not. How do you start these (FFS) batch processes? Manually, via the…

More info? Error?

i would like to syncronize data from my two macbooks via a wdmycloud with the help of RealtimeSync in real time. with freetimesync this works fine. I can also write the batch file …

I can have a look: [URL]

There is, look in the comparison settings

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
