FreeFileSync Forum

Same here Disappointing as the programme is great

Thank you, but here the moved-file-detection-option is greyed out as soon as i select anything else than "delete" for items that exist only on the right. (And no, update is not wha…

Hello, is there any way to get older donation edition versions, just like the free versions? Sure there are plenty users that need to install the freefilesync donation edition on o…

I have version 10.26.

Let's use this thread for discussions regarding the new layout: [URL]

[Quote] So far good to go, nothing unexpected, unwanted. :-).

Thanks for your reply, yes most probably it seems to be a server issue or something with windows server 2016 which I don't have much experience with it. Just wanted to ask if anyon…

Yes, it's trying to get icon for "mdf" files.

The icons are loaded from a bundled zip file, Icons.zip. I think it's really nice that you can swap out that zip file with one that you assemble yourself. Perhaps we should set up …

Installed and Flying :) This is nothing short of Awsome! The worrying revelation with this, is that GoodSync had all but destroyed my entire backups of Personal HD, all my stores S…

Hi, I have configured the task planer on windows terminal server 2019 to run the FFS batch file as also shown in the FAQ video. The job shows in the task planer as "task finished",…

Hi guys, would appreciate some help with my sync issue i get. i sync my music on my phone with my NAS over a MTP connection. havent done it for a while and i get the below error. t…

Many thanks for the quick responses. As it happens I tried uninstalling and then running the 10.24; all that happened is it could not find the version of exe in the Bin directory. …

So you're suggesting to set up the individual _gui, then select the 1 or multiple ones that I want to run at a particular time. [Code] [Code] Ctrl or Shift+Click as necessary, Comp…

When pressing "Start" RealTimeSync behaves as if it received a change notification to kick things off, i.e. it waits for uninterrupted "idle time" seconds and runs the command line…

Better way, let it scan and display the compare results. In the bottom left corner, expand the subtrees. Right-click the 'Library' folder and hover over exclude. It will give you t…

You want that option checked for sure. When it finishes, an errors will both be logged and still remain in the compare window to reference later.

Correct, the sync is running as long as the window is open, so another instance can't start. Hide the display windows for unattended syncing

[Quote] I think I have the same problem ([URL]). I know it's a loong time, but do you remember how you solved this?

Hi, the new file tree layout is confusing for me. I tried all three types (Full path, Relative path, Name) and Name should suit, but it has one little thing that would help a lot t…

I have it set to retry and it doesn't give an error, it just stops the directory read and starts the retry countdown each time. Is there a log somewhere?

Got it, thanks Plerry!

Well, most files are not copied because they are identical. The copy speed depends on file size and fragmentation on both ends, of course. Currently both drives are synced, but I w…

I have used cron for years to schedule a bash script with command line invocation of Freefilesync. Suddenly (maybe started with 10.24 (donation edition), Freefilesync just hangs. I…

Hello, I am a grandpa :) in dataprocessing :) In the early times when DOS reigned the world there were 2 ways to coy files: - the well-known copy command - xcopy command which was …

I'm using Manjaro and I want to keep a folder mirror of the other one. I did get everything to work except the part on how to execute the mirroring file automatically every few hou…

No worries! Just trying to see if I am missing something somewhere like comma separated or the like.

You would be correct. Transferring Time Machine backups is finicky. Even 'Carbon Copy Cloner' a really good data migration tool for Mac, can't correctly move the backups and just s…

Yes. Run a compare and in the bottom left you can see the size and number of files in the tree structure. You can easily find the cache folders there and the right-click -> exclude

I can sync to external servers with no issues. Make sure your port forwarding is allowing the correct traffic. Otherwise, that's exactly what a backup is: another copy of your data…

Ah, I'm on Mac. If its later this week I can wait,

I tried the new registry entry today on the laptop with Windows 7. It works fine as well with Windows 7. Now when FFS is started from the windows task scheduler with elevated right…

I have a problem with a similar item. When RTS monitores my download folder it should start syncing when there was no download/copying/moving, etc. for more than 10 seconds (or ind…

Yes, server's response is "UTF8 ON" [Image] So, it is Mega's fail.

The message before extend was "Your $5 donation includes updates for 3 devices until August 28th, 2019."

Well you know I am not entirely sure that that is the problem now. I will come back if and when I figure out what is interfering with the connection. I did try the IPv4 address dir…

From the Donation Edition download page: [Quote]

OK nevermind. It's a ubuntu bug. The timestamp changed after unmount and remount even when copied using file manager.

The binary file to run is in the FreeFileSync directory, and it is named FreeFileSync. (It will actually run the Bin/FreeFileSync_x86_64 or Bin/FreeFileSync_i686 depending on your …

Hey sorry. I guess I didn’t realize the email function stopped working once the donation time period had ended.

Many thanks for the quick response, it may not look like it but I did do a search for the topic. cheers b

thanks
