Great program. It's saving me a lot of time and I appreciate it very much. I have run FFS from a batch program, but when it completes the task, it logs me off. I have tried adding …

see my post on March 6 Problem turned out to be the Everything app running in the background. Everything was probably interfering with access by FFS to the Shadow Copy system. Issu…

I've never used FTP settings myself but to access them do the following: (1) In the main FFS GUI look for the the Browse button - which be available for the Source and Destination …

After a sync job, RealTimeSync puts my computer to sleep, even though I left that option blank and verified the batch file is set to "none". Here is the batch file below. Maybe I'm…

Thanks for the reply, I tried both your methods with hopes they'd be sufficient. But found both readouts way more confusing to view and decipher what to include or exclude compared…

I can compare, or synchronize, files and folders without including hidden files and folders? Thank you for your help.

I was using WS_FTP. This app is much better. The only differences: 1) The 3-thread FTP takes files in a random order. I'd like them to post in alphabetical order. I use the last fi…

That depends on the warning(s)! Click the Log-tab to see the warning(s).

Appreciate any help or input this. (1) I have app created files that I don't need to Mirror that have different names but the same extension, like 2f8b7d3c55d88d.CBM and they are c…

Doesn't anyone else use Remote Desktop to sync files with a remote PC?

The source file is "sparse", right? FFS falls back to BackupWrite in this case because Windows cannot copy sparse files with CopyFileEx. FFS only does so if the target file system …

I am running V10.10 on win7. Task Scheduler says that it ran my .ffs_batch file at 5 am this morning, but there was no window from FFS showing a completed status, & no copied files…

I've made a few tests and am able to reproduce the crash on LMDE2 (both mate and cinnamon). However FreeFileSync runs fine in LMDE3. It seems most likely that the crash is not caus…

Hello! I want to backup some files and folders from a directory but I can't memorize this selection. Whenever I execute the saved file I need to choose that things I want to backup…

Exactly, I'm just wondering why you didn't get an error message when starting RTS that would have explained just that.

Hello, I have tried two different USB flash both with BitLocker and without it. There is no problem when I copy-paste files via the windows explorer. The problem with the very slow…

This should be solved with the following beta: [URL]

Here are the steps that I followed to install FreeFileSync: Download FreeFileSync 10.3 archive from official site, extract it, create necessary shortcuts (.desktop-files), add to P…

I've also just checked with FFS 10.10 and I can see "." files in the list and confident they will sync ok. Dot files are also Linux system files and I have known some NAS drives to…

I've seen previous posts on this topic but no replies. Freefilesync will not reliably sync photos, especially when the photos are in nested folders. I used mirror, one way sync. Ap…

Depends on how complete you're talking. FFS will copy files from one location to another. But the C drive is going to tend to contain a lot of stuff that FFS will not copy, such as…

Another case of Windows Defender screwing things up? [URL]

RTS is set to do a one way mirror on one folder. What I have observed is that not all files are syncing when they are updated. At this time it appears to be the same files. If I ma…

Hi, consider a desktop PC and a notebook to be synced. Can I install FreeFileSync on both computers and run a sync once on the desktop PC and another time on the notebook PC, using…

I sometimes run mine with other stuff running as long as I'm not syncing what's being ran elsewhere. But even so I would think it still can be done but the sync would reflect the l…

I've done more testing on this, if I go 5 to 6 days before syncing my email Profile folder the more far reaching folder/file structure is sync'd. But I found this has more to do wi…

Thanks for answering! I haven't installed Linux on anything yet so I can't try it yet (not to mention I don't know squat about Linux yet). I'm trying to anticipate and deal with po…

[Quote] So it seems to need an ASUS board to run.

This happened again, ie during some syncs, the text of the percent synchronization count in the upper left of the synchronization window turns gray instead of the usual black. Does…
