FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks for your comment, Markusoft ... I think my initial confusion stemmed from not appreciating (understanding) the difference between a "backup" and "file synching". What you wr…

I noticed that when there are problems, FFS changes the name of the logfile. I see some logfiles containing [Waarschuwing] (dutch for Warning) or [Fout] (dutch for Error). So I cou…

right click run as administrator or change the rights to the folder google right click take ownership, easiest

Hii, Since ver 10.1 - the install of FreeFileSync has been in conflict with "Kaspersky Internet Security", on all my windows-machines (both windows 64 and 32). "Cannot run file" is…

Generally you should be good, as long as you keep the number of "many portable devices" rather down, since the Donation Edition is expected to be used by a single user: [URL]

Just thought I would report back.. I tried a different software, and I'm having the same issue (It transferred about 1GB in 36 hours). So I would say it's definitely a network issu…

My sincerest thanks Mx Plerry ... it now works.

Hey guys, I've decided to try out this software in an effort to routinely check the file integrity between 2 folder locations. I KNOW for a fact that the files in each location are…

Clicking the menu bar or pressing the ALT-key temporarily freezes the comparison; same issue during synchronization. This seems to be a Windows bug: The above actions ordinarily sh…

Exact same problem as "sometimes" noted on 6/16/18. Couldn't type into activation box - nothing happened when I tried. Sought help, no helpful reply. Tried re-installing, etc. Fina…

I've had major problems syncing recently and I wasn't sure if it was the problem of my flash drive or if I had the wrong setting in FreefileSync, so I am going to try starting over…

I'd suggest using tools like Process Monitor and/or Wireshark to analyze the network traffic.

Thank you for the quick reply. I restored the directories to the list in my original set, and now I cannot recreate the problem. I moved some files in and out of the directory and …

I want to sync a folder on a PC with one on a mac. What is the best way to do this from the PC Thanks

- [URL] - you can just google for currency conversions, e.g. "10 eur in usd" - yeah, the "cold welcome" is targeted at human forum spammers, so just ignore it

When FreeFilSync finds a new directory, which doesn't exist at the receiving side, FFS is editing the directory with the date & time of the synchronization. What should I do, to re…

Maze, I think you might be missing something here. When you say "...but when I go sync again it proposes..." Seems to me, when you mention "proposes", that you mean are not taking …

I was attempting to diagnose slow data rates when synchronizing files, so I disconnected from a local switch so I could try connecting directly to the router. After disconnecting f…

Thank you but I"m tech illiterate enough not to understand why I wouldn't have access to the drives or files within the drives (since I own/created them) and as a result don't know…

Hi all, the documentation of the %logfile_path% macro should be published with 10.3 where it's implemented. Actually I don't know if this could be used for the freefilesync.vbs scr…

Hi, Running Linux Mint 19 (Tara). Downloaded FFS vers 10.3 and unpacked the tarball into directory /usr/local/src/FreeFileSync There is no Makefile that I can see, so I can't just …

Did you ever figure out the solution for the error code 64 problem? I'm having the same issue. Thanks.

Hi, Using the same method above of including "opendiff" to the context menu, I tried to add "diffmerge" but it does not open the files? Here are my command-lines: opendiff "%local_…

When the backup is realized without any error, the screen appears as well!

New to FreeFileSync. Using MIRROR Sync. Would like to keep empty folders in the mirror sync'ed backup as well. e.g. If there is D:\Downloads\Best Files folder but it is empty then …

I had already seen the post though I hadn't seen a solution at the time, I know you don't mean to but the condescension is unneeded.

The mention of drive letters triggers me linking here: [URL]

Thanks for the quick reply Zenju, it's much appreciated! I'm also getting error messages when the software tries to backup files that are in use such as hiberfil.sys and pagefile.s…

[Quote] Is there some log on the Diskstation that shows the number of connections or other errors?

I'm sorry. I was looking for it, but I did not think it was so thorough. Thank you very much for the quick response and the solution. For the time being, I have solved fix drive le…

Just saw that Linux Lite has its own forum. Chances are you will want to join if, as you say, you are new to Linux: [URL]

Found the error, was my mistake. Question is settled. benny

Hello, I've recently been getting this each time RealTimeSync tries to sync files; [Installation files are corrupted. Please reinstall FreeFileSync. Installation was registered on …

Hi, I answered my own question. It was not clear I had to run the .ffs_real file first. I can do this manually or by adding it at Startup folder. Now when I plug in, the sync start…

0x1 means that the called EXE file has stopped abnormal i. e. If you call a VBS script with cscript.exe or wscript.exe and you kill the EXE process in the task manager without wait…

Apparently in your Synchronization settings (F8) you have set your Delete Files method to Recycle-bin. Simply change that into Permanent and your warning should be gone. Obviously,…

Every time I start windows, I start syncing (as in RealTimeSync tutorials), but it takes 2 hours each time (every time I repeat it) and I can not make any changes. In case I'm wron…

I' don't think this suggestion applies to a Nautilus mount of a Samsung phone. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<name on SMB server>,password=<...>,\ gid=1000,uid=1000 \ //<IP of Sam…

Dear, The Freefilesync created a file with the extension .ffs_tmp with 17GB! The worst is that it tries to synchronize and stays for hours trying. Why does this occur? Thanks in ad…

I had the same problem, and 10.4 solved it for me too. OS - Windows 10 (1308). Brilliant. Thank you.

Why has FFS started deleting files that it should not delete and putting them in a file called RecycleBin.bc23.ffs_tmp? This is new and has cost me much. None of my batches that de…
