A more complete explanation of your issues would be nice. Anyhow, [URL].

@Technician_P : Also looking at your other posting, I get the impression you may not fully understand how things are organized. RealTimeSync (RTS) is a tool that monitors specified…

Hello Zenju, i have a problem with starting RealTimeSync in this way by the task scheduler. I've done the setting in the task scheduler like in the manual, i also can see the execu…

Hi, I try to sync my fotos from the iPhone to my computer (win10). The iPhone is connected via usb and can be accessde via explorer. In Free File Sync the comparison runs as design…

At your suggestion, I examined that page. I had already tried the technique there using wildcards only for the filename. But I tried slightly differently, as shown on that page- it…

It depends on the Delete Files method you selected in your FFS Synchronization Settings (F8). If you selected Recycle Bin or Versioning, then look in the relevant location(s). If y…

Alternatively, if all three folders reside in the same parent folder, you may sync the parent folder and define the three folders to be synced in the [URL].

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, you have to be careful with the current setup, because if you select all, you are selecting the folder, thus all data in it. I wonder if it's a good idea to pop up a window t…

OK, thanks for the info.

A scheduled stop of the sync task is not built into FFS, so you would need to do that by other means. But instead, you may try setting the [URL] flag to True. This will allow FFS t…

Thank you both so much for your support! It appears all is working now. Just had to shorten the destination file length.

Is there a functional reason why we can't set the tolerance on a per sync pair/job basis? I would find it useful to say: [Quote] Otherwise things like log files will keep thrashing…

Good morning @PIerry and thank you. Sorry if I didn't read your answer right away but I went on vacation for a week and on my return I had the usual commitments of returning. I onl…

I think I've solved my own problem... I leave this for anyone who might stumble across this looking for a solution. What I didn't realise about FreeFileSync, is that instead of thi…

[Quote] Unfortunately, they are kind of hard-coded into the application that writes to them so in this case I really didn't have a choice and have the program work as designed... b…

Yup - that was the problem. It's funny how you can keep staring at something and you just never see it. All it takes is a fresh pair of eyes and the problem and its solution become…

Thank so much for your fast answer.

Ouch! One slash did the trick. Thanks. I didn't know about the drop-down. Thanks again. Great piece of work. How does donate work? -- If I donate I get the CURRENT donate version, …

Hi, I'm using FFS to create monthly FTP backups. I need to save them into zip or rar archives, and haven't find any way to automate it. I tried to rename the path using ***_%date%.…

Thank you for your help, this looks like a solution that could work.

What modification time do you see when you access the file directly via the web interface? [URL]

hi, i try to use realsync to upload file from 1 folder in windows server to a folder in my gsuite, i don't understand if it possible to use realsync or if google don't permit it. a…

Each db file contains data (-pieces) related to all other sync locations it has been synced with. See [URL]. This implies that, in the present setup, it has to be in the synced fol…

@bgstack15, Thank you for your reply. I think you are right. When I have only 1 mount point, there is no different when I set the parallel file operations to whatever number, the s…

Hello, I'm trying to setup a sync to an FTP. But when i try to select the folder to sync, FFS returns the following error: [Quote] If i try to do the same with Filezilla, it inform…

I just had a quick look around and there is a sftp example on the libssh2 website that appears to implement TOTP (keyboard-interactive): [URL] Looking back at the forum post you li…

Awesome, thank you. Sorry I didn't find that post when I searched.

So are you using RealTimeSync.exe ? If so, what is the command line (or otherwise) that you are using for it? Or are you simply clicking (or similar) xxx.ffs_batch? And you're sayi…

[Quote] Thank you! It works really.

You (thbenner) do not make your intentions very clear . If the only thing you want to sync is everything in C:\Users\[User]\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\, you can simply defin…

Change your Include Filter to not include everything (*), but just the specific .ini file.

Hello folks I tried FreeFileSync and I find it very fast and easy to use. But I've a major issue. I'm french, and I have plenty of folders and files with accentuated characters (é,…

Now it's working. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick answer. Clicking the "=" icon showed all the files in both folders. I didn't realize that FFS was not intended for finding dups, but I understand that now.

Indeed, it appears so, at least until WSL symlinks can be created on mounted network drives. Well that's a topic for the WSL/Windows teams - I'll try and find a place to ask about …

Hi, Just downloaded 10.25 as an update and got this; [Attachment] Followed by this; [Attachment] I've tried a restart, file share with all, inspected sync entries but not working o…

a one month update interval? really. OK a buck a month is fair. It's worth more but it's all I can afford.

(A little bit on [URL].) For reference, [URL].

Note that RTS has an idle time, not a delay time or monitoring time. See [URL] and [URL]. I am not sure what exactly happens when setting the idle time to zero, but it seems leavin…

Obviously, otherwise I would not have reported it. The error message (pop-up) occurs sporadically and (from memory) is the same as that reported by ierotheo above. When I get the n…
