FreeFileSync Forum

Fixed for the next release! Error happens during log file creation, but should be handled by FFS.

Sorry for the delay. I am not at home and only occasionally can use my PC. I created the folder ".jota" with the android app "Total Commander". Screenshot of what Total Commander s…

Need help. Syncing extremely slow from cloud. All other apps are working fine. Get less than 1mbit down.

Hello anyone to help me ?

Hi this topic can be closed. The sync process is working fine now.

If you get a failure to copy data while running FreeFileSync( FFS), it is likely simply a problem of access rights in the folders involved in the sync. Your non-admin user (under w…

I'm trying to synchronise two external USB drives (both exFAT filesystem) on Ubuntu 18.04 but I keep running into this error: [Attachment] I've run a disk scan (via Terminal comman…

I've got to admin that I'm somewhat disappointed in your defence of a mistake. As I stated, there are better ways of handling this.

[Quote] Thanks for your help!

No, it's not a bug, but the current design (which can be improved, maybe).

Hi guys! Is this still the same situation? I mean to say, a third-party app needs to be used to find duplicate files? Thanks guys!

oops...my mistake....I have set it to mirror left to right so I can now see it is only advising that there is a file on the right but not on the left sorry !!!

I've used Lockhunter on it again, and it's now apparently running in its own context, not under System.

Right. I don't have problems on windows 10. It's one of the few reasons I still need Windows 10. Unfortunately! PS: Funny thing. It worked some time in the past. Maybe It was anoth…

Hi all, Attaching in image my current setup that is synchronized via google file stream. I configured "freefilesync" batch job at each PC, with realtimesync which keeps the PCs & g…

Thanks for your tip and time. It worked. Have a good week!

Deleted all filter items and tried again...all good now, thank you.

Hi Everyone, I've started using FreeFileSync couple months ago to sync data between two network locations and it's been working amazingly so far. Recently I've tried to change the …

Check out if [URL] does the trick for you.

See also the [URL]. Assuming your FFS left base location is C:\ and your right location its sync counterpart, your Include Filter should e.g. be changed from * (everything) into \f…

Hi Pls advise on howto reset all Two-Way sync and start over on my Mac. (Mojave) I don't see a sync.ffs_db anywhere in my home folder thanks in advance

Hi, not found it yet,maybe you can help. /public_html/1234/month/backups/1zip /public_html/861/month/backups/2zip I got a include filter for: /public_html/861/month/backups/ /publi…

Email notifications are now directly supported with FreeFileSync 10.20!

Hi Plerry and thanks for your reply. The location has not changed, and this phenomenon is reproducible. I set my entire documents folder to sync as a test case only before going ah…

You can add a Windows schedule for your task. Trigger: Every n minutes or whatever. Action: Browse for the script (saved earlier as batch job). Start in "your full path of batch jo…

You seem to be right in the ballpark. However, if (as you suggest) you frequently rename and/or re-arrange files or folders (without modifying the files), FreeFileSync (FFS) will d…

I just found different solution. I installed FFS 5.0 It worked, but realtime sync can not paste ffs_batch file. so I just made batch file by FFS first and then changed realtime syn…

I am having the same issue. It started last month, Jan. 2020. It only affects .pdf files. I've triple checked file permissions. This happens between three machines on my local netw…

@xCSxXexon Mapping is not required, you can also use an UNC description. In both cases you can use drag/drop.

I disabled the option, but still, I got the following error. The FTP server does not allow me to delete files. Once it has been created, I could not modify or delete it from the se…

Hi xCSx, It's "chugging my destination"? You lost me friend... Last evening I discovered during testing that it is advantageous to simple compress directly to the destination (I us…

No one can tell where they came from or why they are there without access to way more information. You can filter those out in FFS and they won't sync

Read the manuals and tutorials

That is a registry tweak in Windows, nothing to do with FFS

Create a shortcut and place it in your startup directory. Change the advanced options of the startup to start as admin.

Yeah, what you want is the default behavior. It won't show you anything but files on both sides that need synchronizing unless you decide you want to see more.

There is an "update" option in FFS that will backup new/existing files, but won't delete them from the destination even if they don't exist in the source

filter out that folder. That holds your system restore points and you won't have access to it without extra steps

If possible, it would be easiest to format as NTFS. That would solve the problem and be better going forward. FAT is pretty outdated

Most likely due ti the connection, either noise in the environment or some other factor. Wireless kind of sucks for data transfers because of its volatility. Also, file size and co…

Hovering over the files should tell you why it detected a discrepancy

The above filter phrase also matches if the tilde is somewhere in the middle of the file name. Instead I'd suggest: *\~*
