Port 990 is the default for an "implicit FTP" connection.

That's not coming from FFS.

@Coomnader_Keen As xCSxXenon already wrote, RTS and FFS are completely different programs. RTS simply monitors the folders shown/specified in the RTS gui (and potentially saved in …

I mean the full text of the warning message "Warning The change time of XXXX cannot be written."

[Quote] This is true. OP didn't specify locations but considering the provided info, this makes sense logically

[Quote] I hadn't thought about that actually. I put a filter in as I had a backup to do personal folders and stuff. I'll be sure to check in future. thanks again.

[Quote] AHA! Thank you for clarifying.

As kriebie said, 'ignore' is certainly interpretation. Ignoring a warning and ignoring the files both make sense to me. "Proceed anyway" makes way more sense for the current behavi…

Try selecting a directory

This isn't surprising. As I alluded to, FFS wasn't the direct issue. It's not crazy that the OS does something funky, or AV software, or a thousand other things that can do somethi…

[Quote] FreeFilesync does not have this configuration.

Dear Zenju, while you are at it, would you please also reply to the related topic below? [URL]

This is indeed the best solution. Initially, I had thought of modifying the C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync\GlobalSettings.xml, but the "FolderHistory" left and right are …

Digital storage either always or never gets fragmented depending on how you look at it. Digital storage automatically wear-levels, which inherently fragments data. It doesn't matte…

***Solved! I would edit the original post but don't see a way to do that. Found a solution when googling SMB and Windows Task Scheduler. I changed the backup locations to get rid o…

Yes, the laptop is on Fedora Arm64/Aarch64. I had to install FEX as required by the install run file and I may have missed a lib or two... Is there a specific requirement list for …

When I try, I just get the message, but it doesn't tell me I can manually choose the actions to take for each item 😥 Also, I didn't know there were 2 db files 🤔 should I delete the…

Sure be glad to Do you need a screen cap of the Real Time Sync app as well or just the main program ? Wayne

I was away for a while. I see that screenshot - now "folder pairs" is obvious. and I presume the funnel icon is the button to show a local" rule I had missed the tiny little green …

[Quote] Doesn't matter. Clicking sync first will run a compare first. Clicking sync after running a compare manually just runs the sync with the actions queued by that compare. Wit…

[Quote] Cool. I didn't realize this was a daily occurrence and that the machines can't be deleted quickly enough from the internet.

I'm betting you made a typo. The location on the left looks to be set to "1010BlackBox" but the right side and name of the config are using "1010Drums". You are probably working an…

[Quote] Your reply has helped me to sort out the problem, many thanks xx The syncing of my One Drives had been paused as I had used a program to transfer all my apps and informatio…

Thanks for the link! When I first tried to search the topic, it came back with over 500 hits. Some of them were as lost as I was, and the others I felt were over my head. That bein…

[Quote] Thanks again. Will do.

New install of FFS Free, tried to configure SFTP connection. Scp from a linux workstation in same network to same hosts works fine. Can anybody help me? [Attachment]

Were you transferring the same data manually, or just random test data? Make sure to try transferring the same data. File I/O overhead can be considerable, especially when dealing …

No, that's no longer "syncing" and FFS is a syncing application

[Quote] 🙏 Thank you so much for your fast replies today. Heck yes!

To a local copy, yes To OneDrive natively natively, no To OneDrive with some workarounds, yes

Programs like Dolphin (in KDE Plasma) and Thunar (in XFCE) can use low-level filesystem libraries directly to access network shares like nfs or CIFS/SMB. For everything else though…

OR if you still have the previous donated version installed (or, if you still have the installer available, and install it again), in the FFS GUI go to Help / About and click the b…

Can you please tell what the .run installation for Linux does exactly, please? I'm at openSUSE Leap. Is root privileges necessary? Are existing dependencies touched in any way? Doe…

I had same prob. Solution for me was simply to use different browser for this (Linux: Chromium Web Browser instead of Firefox). 3RodkGuy

Hi All, I’ve been using FreeFileSync for about two years or so and have two Business Edition installations on two different servers. I’ve noticed on both servers that, over time, t…

Is the error coming from the .run or from install.sh (which is within the run)? As in, I take it that .run is running, extracts, finds & executes install.sh, & it is actually insta…

EDIT for those (stupid) like me : You do not have to save/sync/mirror the AppData\Local nor the AppData\LocalLow directories which are both local system stuff, only the AppData\Roa…

Hi. Your issue seems very different from mine (your folders have no starting dot) You should rather open a new topic.

> At the very least "ignore errors" is pretty misleading, since the errors are not ignored, but logged. When checkmarked, errors are ignored in the sense that they do not block the…

Thank you very much, therube! I got access to $RECYCLE.BIN with admin CMD, but the missing folders were not there. But I'm lucky to have recovered as much as I did.

Hi Plerry, many thanks for this quick reply! If Zenju ever reads these posts. He did at least never reply to one of my requests. Anyhow, this feature does not exist for now, so be …

For whatever reason, those two settings have been lost or became corrupt. Open the *.ffs_gui or *.ffs_batch sync configuration at stake in your FreeFileSync (FFS) GUI. Then, in the…

Hi xCSxXenon Many thanks. With 'something' happening, there can be anything triggering the RTS, I understand. So, well, that means take it or leave it :-) Apart from 'countless' lo…

I am seeing a new error when syncing to my Samsung phone which had a recent Samsung OS update. I have FFS version 14.4 on a Windows 10 PC. I have no clue what is causing this, all …

I'll give that a go. Thanks!

p.s. Re-running the same batch file again after the warning run results in successful run!

So RTS fails, yet FFS itself is still working? Prior to /windows/ removal, were you syncing the entire D: drive (& set /windows/ as an exclude) or did you have individual directory…

Thank you Plerry for your reply. I believe that the two-way sync variant is the ideal option to achieve my objective.
