FreeFileSync Forum

It sounds like you want to have FreeFileSync invoke another instance of FreeFileSync, with a different ffs_batch file. I have never done that, but the way to do it from the command…

Same bug here. KDE Plasma5, Manjaro 30.0.3, After clicking "minimize to system tray" it goes hidden and cannot recover/restore it. There is a yellow icon in the system tray, but no…

This solution works. Thanks!

It seems you (@gsmiley) clicked on the suggested Action icon in the Compare results Window (in the column headed by the two green circular arrows icon), instead of the chechmark bo…

I just tried Same synchronization scheme WINDOW version 11.1 is ok MACOS version 11.1 11.2 is not ok

[Quote]That's pretty straight forward. In the FFS GUI go to the Synchronization Settings (F8). After you select your sync variant, it shows 5 Categories and 5 corresponding Actions…

Wow! Thank you very much. I was going bananas try to go through all these complex Windows 10 loops and and hurdles and gyrations for security and permissions and run as an administ…

Sometimes I will delete files in the device, so sync is what I need. I'll try by file size.

I have the same issue. It comes and goes. I use the Google sync future to keep identical copies of my data on 2 pc's. Sometimes it works fantastic but most of the time it simply do…

I've added more details to [URL] and will see to also add the info to the notification emails.

I was using Firefox. I did not receive "Authentication completed" message after giving permissions, instead a generic Firefox error screen with message: Unable to connect Firefox c…

Even if start as admin (Windows 10), I get an error saying I'm not allowed to read these rights. What am I missing?

Hello everyone, I'm facing a little problem when I sftp sync my .sql databases from debian to windows The bases are systematically renamed EX: I have tried several ways of naming 2…

[Quote] It is not a menu item, but it is an XML file item. In the way I explained, you permanently fix the problem (with a BAT file overwriting with the "correct" XML file every ti…

There was a temorary glitch with gmx.de: [Quote] Sent again.

therube -- that would be an excellent depth-first iterative approach if the program does indeed follow a depth-first algorithm. I'm not positive it does, but someone else can weigh…

It's working without double quote...

Yes.

[Quote] To be clear the, the issue never happened with versions prior to 11? And if you revert to an earlier version, it continues to work correctly? Compare, for the most part, wo…

Thanks again. I appreciate your help.

Solved it; turns out the new portable HDD I was using to Sync to was plugged into the USB port immediately below the USB dongle for my wireless mouse. I moved the wireless dongle t…

The very last version on the site (but also previous versions) freezes when starting a mirror gui synch on fedora 32. It hangs either at 0% or at values between 0 and 1%. Any hint?

You are correct. A distribution of a single install is going to give that problem. The portable solution would work, but then you need to donate ~$660 USD to get an allowance of 20…

How would I make a batch file to backup a folder to a zipped folder

[Quote] Just some random forum spammer => deleted.

If the specification of your left and/or right FFS base-location uses drive-letters, and if those drive-letters have changed due to the upgrade, you obviously need to modify the FF…

My filter settings are Default

I've found an alternative way of scheduling batch jobs in macOS, using the launchd service management framework. It involves the following 2 steps (see example below): 1. Create a …

Still, as stated before, that may not be enough. See the link in my earlier reaction today. But possibly for MacOS things may be different ... But the 'Run a command: On completion…

This error is not coming from FreeFileSync. Maybe the Task Scheduler configuration is incorrect.

Fixed, thanks for your report!

What does that even mean... You should get rid of those AVs

I've seen various ffs_tmp errors at times in 2 different scenarios: 1) (as Plerry just said) The security ACLs or rights are not permissive enough in the destination folder or spec…

My sync setting is set for synchonising files stored in Drive File Stream from 'G Drive' down to my NAS, but found that I have to skip all the google format files so in order to co…

Okay so I grabbed the backup data and decided I needed to know before the weekend and ran the backup. And the great news is, it only did the changes files! So it appears the softwa…

And can it reappear when the task is done ?

Hi Plerry, thanks for the information. Very useful.

Hi Is there a way to have the portable version as a single executable file? I have restrictions to run .exe files in my computer (from a flash drive, for example), but running them…

Oh, I was looking for the install file but it is already installed! Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, thanks for replying me. I usually save older versions but my contribution [donation] is pretty recent, so i have not any previous donation version saved. Zenju, It would b…

Possibly it is the power supply of your pc that causes these incidents. Bye bye.

When run with the task scheduler the program doesn't show that it was run.

Although, I don't think FFS makes tmp files in the source, unless you are in two-way

The FreeFileSync binary is the binary file (that is, file with binary [machine] code that the computer can run). For the official release of FreeFileSync, you can use either the Fr…

Perhaps but then I'd have to do that every day. And then the remaining pair wouldn't get backed up so you would have to do something similar for those which mean doing this sort of…

Any pictures by chance? The FFS can show/hide different categorizations, I wonder if there is a something there

Create a batch sync for the new folder pair Create a RTS job that monitors those folders and runs the previous batch sync Run that RTS at startup
