This issue has gotten even worse for me since v10.18 was released. Now even when I disable "Fail-safe file copy" it doesn't stop FFS from hanging at the end of Sync. Does anyone kn…

Hello, i ve a server dedicated server which i want to mirror some folders. The thing is that, i have prohibited ssh root login. Is there a way to login as normal user and on top of…

[Quote] I updated from 10.11.6 El Capitan to 10.14.6 Mojave. Now "Compare" no longer works. Anyone have a solution? (FreeFileSync versione 10.18 - 19.11.2019) (TextWrangler version…

I'm not sure what is going on exactly. In my setup, the folders from the source C: drive are mirrored correctly on the NAS backup location. I have replace versioning enabled. I not…

USING WIN 10 PRO VERSION 1909 (OS BUILD 18363.535) Freefilesynd 10.18 (build 2019.11.19) After install win 10 pro, mainboard chipset, I installed freefilesync and did mirroring. I …

Makes sense. Thx.

I just did a quick test of the situation you describe and I had no difficulty with FFS remembering the newly added exclusions -- so, in theory you shouldn't on principle be having …

No clue what you mean. You can [URL]. This will launch FFS when RTS has detected changes in folder(s) it is monitoring (after an Idle-time within no further changes in the monitore…

Assigned drive letters are user specific. Drive X:\ for one user my point to another location for another user, or may not have been defined. Simply define a (permanent) drive X:\ …

[Quote]Mind the Note in the purple text box in the [URL]. This means your timestamp difference needs to be exactly the DTS setting. If you have other timestamp related issues, you …

It reads like you are using the two-way sync variant. This variant uses a database containing the folder structure and file content of the left and right base locations per the end…

You are right process context was the problem - it was my fault. Everything works fine now after applying settings in user profile permanently.

Hi, has anyone an idea of the reason for the mentioned error code (1167)? It occurs multiple times within the log on syncing from remote win10-PC to movaje-MAC while connected from…

I don't know what you mean by "remote space options", but (as indicated) you can use drag-and-drop for your left and right base location, or you can simply type the protocol and ad…

i only see the .htaccess file in path, no other dirs..

Does anyone know if this might be a limitation of FFS or maybe if I'm dealing with some security thing in Windows?

I'm setting up a small project using freefilesync to upload files with FTP and explicit TLS/TLS i don,t want the user to ask for the password. (OK) I don,t want the user to know / …

Yes! I remember that being the culprit. OneDrive actually has something similar, but adds the PC name to the end instead of a number.

All files that get deleted during the syncs I run go to the recycle bin without fail. It is MOST LIKELY that you are doing something wrong, or the recycle bin is messed up barring …

This seems a bit remarkable, but if that's what you really want: You can define two separate syncs, select the Custom sync variant and define a sync for deleted files only using Ve…

Thanks, I see now. There are options to run a command on completion, on success, or on error. Also, if one runs freefilesync from a command line, it returns a different exit code a…

There are many locations that the autorun could be located unfortunately. You may need to check registry keys or other locations

Nice that you got it fixed. I'll file that answer away in the brain. Mechanical HDD? Maybe the file is being used when you are backing up and restarting gives FFS higher priority

Can you provide some screenshots of your settings, source/destination, and compare window?

I would check your hard drive health with Gsmart and run a chkdsk if it is healthy.

You should have the server set up in a RAID config with parity for protection before attempting to mirror all of it. Personal opinion of course, but that would be a far safer and e…

OK. Thanks for helping me better understand how FreeFileSync works in regard to syncing with Google Drive.

You may use [URL] in your [URL].

RTS can be run as a serive; see [URL]. FFS can not be run as a service. It also does not make sense to run FFS as a service. FFS can be run with background priority. See [URL].

Plerry Thanks for your helpful advice. I am not very technical and had got confused by the time of watching the last two videos so didn't read the tips and tricks section. Best Wis…

See [URL].

Try out enabling [URL] in the synchronization Settings. Unless you are changing the name of the left- or right-root-folder (as opposed to any of its subfolders), this should do the…

"Me too!" - thanks for fixing. That was confusing for a while there. TIL Windows 10 can have duplicate file names in a folder.

I recommend you check your watcher configuration. As to your case, I had setup a SFTP server and a local folder. Then, I used the following code: [Code] I tested it out with two te…

Hi, I have Drive File Stream installed to sync my Google Drive to my laptop. Drive File Stream makes a drive "G" available that acts just like a regular Windows drive (or seems to)…

You are right. SP2 is not R2 as in link disgussion. SP2 is like Windows Vista, R2 is like Windows 7. But file system managent is the same, why? Thanks for everything...

You can [URL] at once. You would define four folder pairs, your four different (source) folders as the left root locations and your single (destination) folder as the four right lo…
