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…

Thks for the fast answer Ulf

Hello, When running a File Sync as a batch Job is their any variable that is set that provides the log file name ? I know i can look in the log directory and determine that by date…

FFS copies the (sub)folderstructure present in(side) the left base location to the right base location or vice versa, including all of its contents (as far as not excluded via the …

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

Hello all, SOLVED Ubuntu Linux PC syncing with 2 independent NAS units through experimentation along with analysis through troubleshooting, trial & error, discovering open source s…

I have configured it the way you suggest, but it is not finding files on the right-hand side that I know are there, but should not be because they are left-over from the previous F…

It probably does exist on the source, but it is hidden by default. Add an exclusion for "*\RecycleBin*"

The installer is still available from the archives on the homepage, but I don't know about a license; I'm wondering the same myself.

I don't know if the FreeFileSync (FFS) GUI of the Mac version differs from the Windows version, but the only "feature" present in FFS aimed towards RealTimeSync (RTS) (or Task Sche…

it works now thanks

Thank you Perry, much appreciate your response. Cheers!

Yes but neither the local user - which can run the task fine via command line works - nor can I use a NAS user in that field - since it only accepts local accounts. I did find a wo…

Most FTP flavours do not support setting or retaining file dates. That is why on the target side the date is normally the moment of copying over.

Fair enough. I will continue with the other program. Thank you for your responses.

Thank you! I'll try and reproduce the error as I know it has happened a few times previously. What I am sure about is that I was updating from an external drive to a Google drive a…

[Quote] ls -a only lists the file names without querying for detail information (lstat). ls -l on the other hand tries to access the file metadata and fails. So the behavior is the…

Errors are fixed in newer FFS: [URL]

Hi, I can read only English but thankfully the compiler message is pretty clear. The <numbers> header must not be available for your distro yet. Manjaro is based on Arch Linux righ…

No. You can create two syncs and set filters to only sync a certain set of folders, thus size, to the two drives.
