Solution: if auto sync not run - reduce idle setting until sync work read [URL]

If the issue really *is* a timeout, then increasing "FolderAccessTimeout" will help ([URL]) or simply "retry on error" once with a sufficient delay.

I saw other commercial app uses P2P protocol for remote sync. It is freaking fast vs FTP.

Cant seem to sync .cr2 photo files. these are RAW photo files. Any way to make sure they get copied? John

Wow, I indeed didn't think about the "root" aspect. The other files I filter (*.mp4 & *.mkv) are actually in the root of one of the folders, that's why this filter worked. :) Thank…

OK. Thanks, Gianni1962.

Yes, "automatic retry" with a delay will work the same way a manual retry does.

OK, thanks for clarifying. And for all the work done so far.

Ps - yeah, would be good to have the standard Mac 'window' item added in future updates.

Finder is not 'reporting' anything – how could it? So there is nothing to 'compare.' I provided all the output from FFS in generalized form and also a specific copy-paste. I don't …

Can you paste the full path here?

Hi, Initially I was thinking (I don't know why I didn't check that before) that there are separate executables for UI and command line, but I obviously was wrong. rsync is a great …

Unfortunately, those are all pretty different and have high chances of dependency problems on Arch Linux. You could just try them. I know that on my Fedora system, the OpenSUSE pac…

Uh, that works great! Thank you!!!

LOL ... and then I just saw this discussion: [URL]

Not only does the function fail, the directory monitoring is unsupported on the file system. You can delete the directory from the list, to "make the error go away", as long as the…

I use FFS to manual sync, as mirror, some folders of my notebook with my NAS, mapped as network driver. I detected the following problems: 1. with FFS 9.8: new files have the "orig…

Is this problem reproducible?

FreeFileSync worked fine for the first few days. However, today I can't see files in some of my folder. I didn't change any setting or options. If I click on "browse" from the Free…

Hi, when I have configured the settings concerning comparison and sync - it isn't possible to save them. When I try to use these settings (Loading the file) the adjusted values don…

Hmm, thank you for the tip. I will double check my settings then. By the way it's a really genius tool, the best I ever had for syncing. Also much appreciate the responsive support…

OK, I think I figured it out. ... 1. I originally had the batch job to mirror the folders from D:(HDD) to C:(HDD). ... 2. I changed the existing batch job to mirror from D:(HDD) to…

Hello, Secured copy is a general option. Is it possible to have it disabled for just one task ?

Arrow keys + photo viewer work for me when started from FFS.

For a few months now I've had a problem with FFS hanging while deleting files from the temporary "RecycleBin.xxxx.ffs_tmp" folder on the target drive. The backup seems to be going …

I did and it worked. Thanks for the quick response and fix!

FreeFileSync 9.10: Remember maximum number of visible folder pairs Let me know if there are any issues: [URL]

The 14 Jul 2017 post helped me solve my problem!

When I sync two folder (one in PC and the other on USB key) files double appear: same dimension of original with a final number between brackets after file extension (e.g. autochia…

I still don't think I understand this properly. I am of course experiencing the same thing, so I have set my idle time to 10, and I'll see if I can live with it for a time, as anyt…

I'm trying to do a mirror from c:\users\guy to \\server\bup\guy. I'm using FFS 9.9 (Donation version) and Windows 7 (both machines). I filtered the appdata folder, which was the on…

OK, please consider this an enhancement request. With %env_vars% we can change one var to completely change how a sync profile works. Right now I have to create lots of profiles th…

[Quote] Hi, Thank you it worked. Regards, JP

Hello Plerry, yes i know that and ffs runs with an user-account with admin privileges, or with the user "system". The Error-Messages are reproducible and i think i should be on all…

These suggestions would be helpful. One critical error I've noticed in a lot of user manuals is that they assume users know much more than they actually do know.

In my eyes "Mirror" is the most used option because regular people use FFS mainly for direct backups. Two way syncing is restricted to "the magic apple cloud" *rolleyes* However, a…
