FreeFileSync Forum

I just did a quick test of the situation you describe and I had no difficulty with FFS remembering the newly added exclusions -- so, in theory you shouldn't on principle be having …

No clue what you mean. You can [URL]. This will launch FFS when RTS has detected changes in folder(s) it is monitoring (after an Idle-time within no further changes in the monitore…

Assigned drive letters are user specific. Drive X:\ for one user my point to another location for another user, or may not have been defined. Simply define a (permanent) drive X:\ …

[Quote]Mind the Note in the purple text box in the [URL]. This means your timestamp difference needs to be exactly the DTS setting. If you have other timestamp related issues, you …

It reads like you are using the two-way sync variant. This variant uses a database containing the folder structure and file content of the left and right base locations per the end…

You are right process context was the problem - it was my fault. Everything works fine now after applying settings in user profile permanently.

Hi, has anyone an idea of the reason for the mentioned error code (1167)? It occurs multiple times within the log on syncing from remote win10-PC to movaje-MAC while connected from…

I don't know what you mean by "remote space options", but (as indicated) you can use drag-and-drop for your left and right base location, or you can simply type the protocol and ad…

i only see the .htaccess file in path, no other dirs..

Does anyone know if this might be a limitation of FFS or maybe if I'm dealing with some security thing in Windows?

I'm setting up a small project using freefilesync to upload files with FTP and explicit TLS/TLS i don,t want the user to ask for the password. (OK) I don,t want the user to know / …

All files that get deleted during the syncs I run go to the recycle bin without fail. It is MOST LIKELY that you are doing something wrong, or the recycle bin is messed up barring …

This seems a bit remarkable, but if that's what you really want: You can define two separate syncs, select the Custom sync variant and define a sync for deleted files only using Ve…

Thanks, I see now. There are options to run a command on completion, on success, or on error. Also, if one runs freefilesync from a command line, it returns a different exit code a…

There are many locations that the autorun could be located unfortunately. You may need to check registry keys or other locations

Nice that you got it fixed. I'll file that answer away in the brain. Mechanical HDD? Maybe the file is being used when you are backing up and restarting gives FFS higher priority

Can you provide some screenshots of your settings, source/destination, and compare window?

I would check your hard drive health with Gsmart and run a chkdsk if it is healthy.

You should have the server set up in a RAID config with parity for protection before attempting to mirror all of it. Personal opinion of course, but that would be a far safer and e…

OK. Thanks for helping me better understand how FreeFileSync works in regard to syncing with Google Drive.

You may use [URL] in your [URL].

RTS can be run as a serive; see [URL]. FFS can not be run as a service. It also does not make sense to run FFS as a service. FFS can be run with background priority. See [URL].

Plerry Thanks for your helpful advice. I am not very technical and had got confused by the time of watching the last two videos so didn't read the tips and tricks section. Best Wis…

See [URL].

Try out enabling [URL] in the synchronization Settings. Unless you are changing the name of the left- or right-root-folder (as opposed to any of its subfolders), this should do the…

"Me too!" - thanks for fixing. That was confusing for a while there. TIL Windows 10 can have duplicate file names in a folder.

I recommend you check your watcher configuration. As to your case, I had setup a SFTP server and a local folder. Then, I used the following code: [Code] I tested it out with two te…

Hi, I have Drive File Stream installed to sync my Google Drive to my laptop. Drive File Stream makes a drive "G" available that acts just like a regular Windows drive (or seems to)…

You are right. SP2 is not R2 as in link disgussion. SP2 is like Windows Vista, R2 is like Windows 7. But file system managent is the same, why? Thanks for everything...

You can [URL] at once. You would define four folder pairs, your four different (source) folders as the left root locations and your single (destination) folder as the four right lo…

I have a dual-boot laptop with Windows 10 and Fedora. I usually use Fedora, but sometimes need Windows. Because Fedora can read from the Windows volume, but not vice-versa, I keep …

Hi, the manual says there's an ftp configuration dialog that pops up after clicking the cloud icon, but I cant find either. Where is the ftp dialog? Where is the cloud icon? Using …

You can change the GlobalSettings.xml file according to need. See [URL].

Obtain authorization to procure that file.

[Quote] Please stop spamming this on every thread with slow operation. That seems to have worked for you and maybe one other person, it's not the "end all be all" answer to slow sp…

Can you tell me something about what the problem might be? I'm running the most recent nView available for my (quite old) computer and, although I can work around this problem by u…

You don't write where you entered/used "*2019*.docx" When enter that as your [URL] (instead of the standard "*"), you should be OK.

That may very well be (I am not the author ...) why the GUI only supports graphically making the filtering (inclusions and exclusions) more restrictive (temporary or "permanent"). …

Truecrypt was one of the applications that worked but FreeFileSynch did not. After trying different things, reboots, etc. I decided to downgrade back one version and that did not w…

Okay, done.

Hi, when I execute the routine by Task Scheduler the progress window won't show. The backup is made but the processes don't stop (in Task Manager). In the routine options I have th…

Thank you for the reply. But the comparison of files is relatively swift for me. It is when it commences synchronizing the files by copying the revised version over the older versi…

Thanks for documenting the workaround.

Yes they do. I just checked last night's sync and it worked fine but now it shows the last sync date 6 days ago. The sync job in question uses versioning, the other 9 do not if tha…

Thanks for that. Has that update been released yet?

It seems you have to look into defining a Custom sync variant, and define your preferred Action per Compare Category.

I had success using the following syntax: [Code] It seems unlikely that you can use 10 as the display sequence number as you probably don't have 10 displays connected to your compu…

Syncing every 1 minute seems overdone in (almost) any case. But likely that is not what you mean. I assume you mean the idle-time setting of RTS (isn't assumption is the mother of …
