You need to do the following: (1) Extract all the content of the zip file you downloaded into a single folder. So that will be two files in that folder: FreeFileSync_10.8_[Donation…

Thank you Radish

Hello, I’ve been using FFS without any problems and I like it a lot. However, one of the things I would like to be able to do was to sync my mobile photos with my desktop and I can…

Thanks Plerry, I'm not getting notifications that I know of so will check the forum settings.

Why does it take so long to compare my file sync that has been done many times before, and have an Icon Link to it on my desktop with the correct file paths included?

I currently run V10.8 donation edition on 64bit Windows 10. I do a scheduled backup every early morning. Each backup normally updates the LastSync log file. The log file was last u…

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro 2018 from MacOS Mojave. I need to make a progressive copy of selected catalogs. I would like to make a copy of the directory: / Applications / XAMPP / htdo…

Not sure what you mean with "interrupted", but as regarding speed you may compare with another SFTP client to see if it's a server/connection problem or not.

Non-problem. The large blue down arrow in the sync window minimised both the sync window and the comparison window. Either at that time or a little later the comparison window clos…

Maybe you need to change the "Select view" setting at the bottom of the screen. If all source & destination files are the same you won't see anything in the Overview panel unless y…

I understand this, but my proxy require authentication and FFS do not provide any credential, so I receive error 403. There is a way to manually set a proxy server, so I can set an…

Many thanks, all fixed, great !

If you need to do a two-way sync (files may change on both sides, path A and path B), then you need the database and you should not delete it. Exactly to notify you if the same fil…

You can define an FFS sync in line with any of the above three options. Once proven OK, you can store the job as *.ffs_batch file. You then let RealTimeSync (RTS) monitor the relev…

From my current understanding, if I use a mirror configuration, deletions on the local drive will also be deleted in the target drive. In the case of a drive failure, if I have a n…

Hi, Is it possible to embed one FFS job inside another? What I would like to do is have a number of FFS jobs to copy over discrete folders such as 1. Documents, App Data, Program D…

I have the opposite problem!! My sync runs overnite in batch mode but the summary disappears before I get to it in the morning or never appeared. I did not check run-minimized nor …

Everything works OK, but the download does not start. Robert

Thanks for your help! Using the registered version, I came out on Windows at %APPDATA%\FreeFileSync\LastSyncs.log

Success! Sync has completed without timestamp issues. So the solution lies in one of the three options above.. Note: I made the mapped drives to the usb disks AFTER the trouble beg…

I'm syncing my laptop with my desktop on regular intervals. In total there about 25,000 files to sync. When I commence the sync the first 12,000 or so are immediately processed (us…

After some testing, I found that if I open FFS -> close FFS -> reopen FFS -> execute sync, then the error is not triggered.

I auto-comment my reply... as I understood how this works now... This is already implemented.... I did not understood you can pass either a batch file or a "ffs_real" file to RealT…

Bump.

Many thanks for the quick response. It worked perfectly. For info, this is being used with 'ES File explorer' as a means of backing up files in the Android root memory area using t…

Hi. How do I edit the drop down list of directories/maps to compare, both to the right and to the left? I want to erase some obsolete directories/maps that I don't use anymore.

Configurations can be saved at different stages in the sync process, ie: 1. After creating the configuration but before doing a "compare" 2. After creating the configuration and af…

When I right click a saved configuration, there is a pop-up that shows "Hide configuration Del". Clicking on this removes the configuration from the FileSync Configuration window b…

Thank you for the help.

If all data on your NAS is lost, you have to run a full backup-to-NAS mirror copy anyway. The simplest/quickest is then to run a full copy/paste from your backup to your NAS using …

If you just run a Compare (so no sync yet), what does your Compare window show for the non-copied files? Are they shown there at all?
