Hi glenstar, here below some tests I would do: 1) try to disable antivirus and any active firewall like Comodo during sync. 2) try to sync a different disk (so with different conte…

[Quote] Thanks a lot!! In the folder, it is!

[Quote] Thanks a lot. Took a little getting used to set up but works great! Exactly what I needed!

Awesome! Thank you!

Wohoo, that's what I was looking for. Now that you gave me the hint, I felt a bit dump. FFS clearly indicates this option in the settings. Another case of read the instructions fir…

The Author of WiFi FTP Server released a new version 1.9.4. This solved the problem using SSL mode explicit on Android 10. Now FreeFileSync, Curl, and FileZilla can connect to the …

Differences may depend on what sync variant you run. If you run a left-to-right Update variant, any files existing only on the right will not be deleted by the sync, but remain as …

douzaine, as of version 10.20, that feature is implemented in the stable release. Download any version equal to or newer and you are set

As a start, both files appear to play correctly? Windows? [URL] (ZIP version might be the better choice). Compare the output against both files. (With the command line version, you…

[Quote] I think I have figured out how to call the flatpak version of RealTimeSync using a CLI call, after referencing the docs dot flatpak dot org website, and the "man flatpak-ru…

Thank you. It is resolved

Well, hopefully, using FFS again after this time will result in a quicker sync. 25 hours+ was not ideal.

It's clean: [URL]

I'm loggedin as Domain Administrator and that's the same account that the task is running under but it doesn't show when running the task Double clicking on the FFS batch file does…

Had this problem of not getting sync to work in auto at start up Win 10 Home v1909. I had allowed FFS.exe controlled folder access so batch syncing worked Didn't realise to allow R…

Maybe something here? And thinking you'll need to understand the nuances of what is being said. [URL]

Hi, I'm experiencing an annoying trouble in a brand new OS installation (Ubuntu 20.04) with a brand new external 2Tb USB drive. Synchronization writes files with chosen mirror vari…

Isn't it great when you can come across a "bug" & then come back in & say, hey, it isn't really a bug. So... As I'm always working from behind, never caught up, it's not unusual th…

Hey, .ods is for LibreOffice. Where can i find the ods-file you mean? FFS fail after one second and not on the same file. Hmm, about a few minutes i start a new sync. A folder with…

There was a conflict with Comodo Firewall. Uninstall Comodo, install FFS and reinstalled Comodo. Works.

No, the link stays valid for the duration of your donation period. Click the link in your email, and the download section is at the bottom. I use uBlock Origin without issue, but m…

Sorry, my bad. I am using Two-Way not Mirror.

xCSxXenon's reply applies when you use RTS to launch FFS. However, if your automatic backup is a scheduled launch of FFS, you need to delete or suspend that task in the Windows Tas…

Thanks! It works!

I have no idea why, and this is maddening and bizarre, but today, after a restart, it works. Completely insane. Thanks for your reply, and I'll screenshot it if it happens again. C…

[Quote] I will try it, thank you!

You have so many bottlenecks here. WLAN is slow, most Androids don't use a newer UFS storage style, and are also really slow, and HDDs are also very slow when syncing many small fi…

Yeah, if the NAS isn't even showing up in file explorer, FFS can't see it either.

Yeah, I wish it worked like that, but it doesn't. You would have to run two independent syncs, and disable the 'lock' files that FFS creates. You can then have a batch script that …

Ugh. User error. The access denied was referencing a LOCAL hidden folder. I simply had to create a filter entry to omit this folder that I don't want to sync anyway and that solved…

yes, 202 is suffice i use that command for other program...but in this case yes, not need sort uniq no, latest FFS not use date stamped: ./freefilesyncupdate.sh download/FreeFileSy…

Perfect, fixed for the next release!

(FFS does not ignore hidden (or system...) files - that I am aware of.)

The fact that it worked for me, combined with the lack of support here would suggest that it may be a problem your end. When you try and connect do you see anything in /var/log/aut…

It's all going well now, thank you

Your replay has the information more than i expected. i hope it will work for sure. i need to exclude every folder named ".recycle" so, i will use *\.recycle\ Thank you very much!!

And, straight from the horses mouth, see [URL]. So, your single sync.ffs_db file in A contains relevant info on all three syncs (A=>B, A=>C and A=>D). Your use case should not give…

The files you seem worried about are *.ffs_db files. If you are sure you want to get rid of those, seach for *.ffs_db files and delete these.

What are you talking about? I´m not using/doing anything else since Windows 98. Computers hiding those are freaking me out.

[Quote] Thanks a lot. It works

@therube...thanks for the suggestion. Worked like a charm. Cheers.
