FreeFileSync Forum

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.

Finally, I got it. Probably, it was a translation mistake. Thank you.

You can change the device count directly on the thank-you page.

One other Android SD Card anomaly that relates to files on an SD card installed in an Android Device. I had problems with notification alerts that it took me a while to track down …

So, just when I wanted to start testing the version in your link, I saw that 11.4 is out. Downloaded the Donation Edition and - voila - it works. Thanks! :-)

If it's still running, I can have a look where it hangs: [URL]

Not boring at all. Takes about 4 minutes to clone the disk and another 1 minute to change the disk out. I don't have run an Anti Virus program (which it seem they are always out of…

Just checked it out, looks great!

@troyrock As both computers are not connected, you would always need a portable data carrier being carried back and forth between the two computers, e.g. your intermediate external…

Simply select or open the relevant *.ffs_gui configuration in the FFS GUI, making it the active configuration, and then use the Save As Batch-file icon (the one with the extra blac…

Thanks, it looks ok now

Who uses Raspberry Pi? I tried to install FreeFileSync with Wine on Raspberry Pi Raspbian. But some runtime environments were missing. Who can send me a DEB File of FreeFileSync fo…

Thanks :-) I defined 5 parallel operations on my ftp device but 20 on my local disc. I assumed that the 5 will be applied to synchronization as well, since I did not read this: [Co…

Does anybody have a installable download for Free File Sync for the Raspberry Pi 4 (or other Versions 1-3) ? A DEB File , for example, which i can install. In past i had many windo…

Oh my friend, worked smoothly, thank you so much. Did not know about that "=" opotion. Thank you again..

There us only one previous session that it shows. Everything under "last session" will be sync configuration files that you have saved as an independent job, or a batch job. If you…

Still a a nice to have in 2020!

Just check box simply enables that option. Min/max are the number of versions to keep, obviously max must be equal to or larger than minimum. And yes, it will keep them for 365 day…

In FFS, the settings for the sync jobs contains the options for a post-sync command. Oh yes, I do see the problem you described though. I'll keep pondering on hopefully finding a s…

Nope! FFS is a sync tool, not a duplicate finder. It will only compare between the left and right base location, and only compare identically named files in the identical (sub)fold…

Did more tests, thanks for the suggestions, after carefully checking the files it seems that indeed some of them are getting corrupted, in fact there is 0 bytes copied, but some we…

Thanks Plerry. I can follow that.
