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)…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 …
