[Quote] Hi, thanks for this response. I will try that next time but I have a feeling that the reason is that it can create a file with no probs, but that perhaps the app changes at…

I don't outright know the answer to your question for sure. However, I would think the answer is no; FFS has no means of telling if a torrent is complete or incomplete. Above said,…

The way Google Chrome puts a lot of stuff in my ~/.config directory, I want to exclude /.config/google-chrome/ But, include /.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks /.config/google…

I suppose you have read the [URL]. There it is clearly stated "Files and directories are only considered for synchronization if they pass all filter rules. They have to match at le…

[Quote] I don't think it is caching either but if you want to avoid the pitfall (and you don't have always-on systems) just restart between the two test attempts. Otherwise flush c…

Perfect , thank you.

I performed a copy from our 2008R2 File Server to our new 2016 File Server and afterwards, when I tried to access the files and folders via an rdp connection on the 2016 server I g…

Many thanks for your reply. I am actually using vanilla Ubuntu 18.04, but used the Deepin screenshot utility to quickly annotate the screenshot with the red arrow : ). So, I am pre…

I'm having this problem too. I would like to temporarily exclude files and have them remain in the list. Even when I select "Show filtered or temporarily excluded files", they stil…

From the [URL]: "RealTimeSync will register to receive change notifications directly from the operating system in order to avoid the overhead of repeatedly polling for changes." No…

Many thanks for these detailed instructions. Incidentally, when I woke up this morning MX was behaving erratically and was rather unstable. So I decided to reinstall it, and after …

It can be so simple. :-) Thank you for you help!

I've noticed lately that the app hangs with syncing .xls/.xlsx Excel files to my work's network drive (see image below). I wasn't sure if it was due to the files being large (~2MB)…

No, the Idle time in RTS is the time the monitored location(s) need to be idle (i.e.: have no activity/changes) after a change (or the last change) has been detected, before launch…

You should have received a confirmatin email with the link. Maybe it's in your spam folder?

This seems like a simple question. Why can't someone help? I have downloaded latest version 10.11 for Windows XP. Cloud icon does not show up on menu next to "Browse"[Attachment]

Hi, I had the same problem as you. The solution is to use individual settings for each backup job. Sorry for my Czech interface, I believe the position of the elements is the same …

Is it possible to sync a real folder to a smart folder? (mirror or update). Intended use. I have a smart folder which lists all the files that have been changed in the last two day…

Thank you for your exceptional work.

When I first use the Batch file, I get an error of multiple bases being used and to create a filter (I have never really understood that). When I go to FreeFileSynch and then I do …

I am a (meanwhile longstanding) enthusiastic user of FFS, but I don't hold archive of the different releases. So, sorry, can't help you there. But, normally later versions should b…

Hello, I'm having some trouble setting up my sync. I'm using this more of a backup then a sync. I would like to have version control by date on per backup. Meaning each time it run…

Define an Include filter of *.ABC or define an Exclude filter of *.BDE

I was also concerned not that the disk was running for fourteen hours straight, but the disk activity light was lit up for fourteen hours straight.

The warning is pretty self-descriptive. Nevertheless: Windows uses recycle bins for its fixed disks. However, e.g. most NAS systems do not have a recycle bin (or sometimes they do,…

You can use multiple left-right root folder pairs. See [URL].

I had a vaguely similar issue on Devuan regarding the "(something) is not a member of `std`" error. I think it has something to do with the way that distro packaged the C++ standar…

You are not trolling, are you? [URL]

Hi all, This seems to be an easy thing but I couldn't figure out how to make FFS produce a more detailed log. I'm using it to compare file changes and the log only tells me how man…

Sorry to ask such a possibly obvious question, but I'm experimenting with getting files off of a dying DROBO FS with it being directly connected (via Ethernet) to my desktop Mac, o…

Nobody has an idea? On this forum specialized on FFS? My son has found that, probably after aborting the previous execution, there was a problem a protection to write a file on the…

I did use the folder picker. At the end, I was able to get it to sync by creating 2 subfolders. /Volumes/2TB FW/2TBBackup/Files/ /Volumes/4TB Seagate/2TBBackup/Files Once I do rena…

Hi Plerry, thanks for your reply. I have now changed the Task Schedule and am using a Batch File Instead. I seem to be having some kind of error however. If i run the batch manuall…

My case is using FFS to synchronise data between 2 PCs. I want to keep the deleted files in the PCs respective. PC1Dir |--Dir1 | |--file1 | |--file2 | |--Dir2 | |--file3 | |--Dir3 …

I get how to mirror folders, but I had to create the destination folders manually. Is there a way to select multiple folders on the left and have their mirrors automatically create…

*RESOLVED* Very strange, but when I used another computer to look on the NAS drive, I saw two identical folders but with different modified dates. I removed one by copying it to th…

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…

Does this work for both items I've listed, #1 and #2? I see that automatic retry is on but I still get prompts for CRC errors. Also - if I 'ignore' the crc error will it still log …

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…
