You can create a shortcut on FreeFileSync.exe, set it up to run with admin rights, and give a ffs_batch file as argument.

You're on the SFTP tab, instead of FTP.

This error is saying the data is unreadable or corrupted, correct? If so, you may want to check the settings again to see if "ignore errors" is checked. You may also attempt to cre…

There is a big "START" button for me on the bottom of the window. Do you not have that button?

Your sync settings aren't configured correctly.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm delving into an area that I know almost nothing about. I can foresee weeks of watching YouTube tutorials...

Just fixed the makefile :) but you beat me to it.
