And I was already wondering whether it's time to remove this note: [URL]

Good Morning I am trying to use FFS with my IIS FTP Server. It works find for physical directories, however, I cannot figure how to FFS to recognize Virtual Directory since they ar…

I think you are expecting too much from detect moved and renamed files. You will need to delete for those items that the detection does not see, or you will have duplicates. You ca…

Hi, I am back on this issue. Any new idea's on this? Best regards, Marc

You can [URL].

Sorry for not answering. I had to reset that phone, did a backup using a tool that ignored the error (named GoodSync) and after resetting the phone the buggy items are gone. So I d…

Ah ha! I see that in playing with the interface that one can close the Configuration box altogether to prevent this issue. Are there any issues with clicking in the Overview box to…

It's crazy to see all the fuss about the English wikipedia page and blocked users. I'm happy I didn't get dragged into this and that my changes (second modification) have finally b…

I do not intend to say I do not trust you... but I see that you have identified the concern of how it appears. It sure raised a flag to me, making me think I am glad I caught it be…

Whoops! Never mind, this is user error. I ran the scan on a laptop and was searching for the log file on a desktop. (I am running backups of a NAS to a USB connected to NAS drive, …

Thanks,

The link is actually good as it lists the prerequisites for move detection, one of which is probably not fulfilled in your case. Note that technically all the files will be moved r…

You need to set the number of parallel file operations pers device (see comparison settings), to be used for comparison (including binary-comparison) and sync.

I don't know ReadyNAS, but if it is similar to Synology, the mapping of \\Jupiter\Primary\home\Bob\DataFiles to \\Jupiter\Bob\DataFiles is probably linked to being connected to you…

FreeFileSync has a capability of detecting if files have been moved or renamed. See [URL].

Thank you very much! There was no way to watch the video because I'm in China, but I get it on this website. [URL]

When syncing mp3 media files from windows harddrive to android phone, the mp3 tags (e.g. album) are not updated with version 10.1 build 03.06.2018. If I copy the files with explore…

I only use the program to back up my music, photos and videos to a backup hard drive, but when I use it it always takes at least 45 minutes to compare all my music files before syn…

FFS implements a binary, not textual file comparison. I'd suggest to normalize the text files using a code-formatter tool.

Hi, We work on cruise ships, and internet is either non-existant or expensive. PRIOR to a file sync, is it possible to be asked whether you can gio ahead. On a ship we would say No…

Thanks for your help. I got it partially figured out. The folder I was attempting to sync to is actually in Box Drive (C:\Users\username\Box). As soon as I created a new folder in …

This should work, assuming that the SFTP side is Linux-hosted (=> proper support for file IDs).

Hello all, I would like to expand the default exclude filter in FreeFileSync. Currently, if I change the filter, the changes will only work for the current job. I would like to add…

Is a SMB server working in Server App 3 on a MacOS. Using native explorer I dont have any issues at all, but using FFS I receive those errors. In times I have found similar problem…

Hello., I would appreciate some help on dropbox folder which I could only view due to the owner's restriction on my windows machine. The problem is when I tried to "mirror sync" th…

[Quote] Are you confusing RTS and FFS? RTS cannot be set up to trigger a sync at specific intervals (at least currently). [Quote] Sounds exactly like what RTS is supposed to be doi…

The encoding issue should hopefully be fixed with the following version (assuming the problem is due to your FTP server expecting ANSI instead of UT8). Does the following version w…

[Quote] Maybe we have a server bug here. Can you send me a Process Monitor trace for the time when you hit retry and the error message comes up? [URL]

Hello, when I use Free File Sync (any behaviour, but in this moment I use Mirroring) with network shares, only doing the scanning process to check what to update between LOCAL fold…

[Quote] That's not how you check for free RAM. You need a tool like Task Manager or better Process Explorer.

In previous versions of FreeFileSync there was a useful log file overview of backed-up files and their sizes. Now with the newer versions (9.x), this seems to be not visible anymor…

Excluding them should work: [URL]

By trial and error have succeeded in creating a batch file for multiple sync pairs and successfully running it. As for RealTimeSync found that it can run only one batch file and he…

Thank you for sharing that! You inspire me to post the build instructions for Fedora 28, when I get around to doing it for the latest version of FreeFileSync. I realize the link is…

Hi Zenju or whoever can help, I really need to restore my files before syncing and have followed the instruction described in, "[URL]" Right now, I have zipped the dmp file. Will y…

I don't know. You've quickly exceeded my knowledge. What is SFTP, and why would OneDrive not support it while other clouds apparently do? Is there another way (other than SFTP) to …

Again, follow the link above and install while Process Monitor is running. Then we'll see what we've got.

Your description is quite cryptic. But I will give it a try. If I understood you correctly: It seems you have defined "WhateverDrive:\\WhateverPath\copythisFolder" as your left loc…

I have the same problem, so I'd say that all folders need to be available, at least with RealTimeSync. Love to find a workaround, though. Liked FreeFileSync enough to contribute. T…

I've followed the update link from 9.8 - it downloaded 10.1, *said* it had installed it, but when I started FFS it was still 9.8 - I've even tried to install to a different path, a…

It builds now, thank you for the quick turnaround.

Up until a couple of nights ago I was able to synchronise files between my PC and two different Android devices without problems, but today the comparison keeps stopping at some po…

Forgive me if this has been requested before (I'm just new), but do you plan to add an option to compress files in the destination folder? I need this to protect some files vulnera…

The "Custom" settings you show are the default settings for "Custom", but can be changed according to need. Those default "Custom" settings might appear to be the same as for "Two …

Thanks. Yes, you are right. I used the absolute path rather than the relative path :(

I asked this question elswhere, but it didn't get answered: The RealTimeSync icon in the taskbar has a message "Waiting until all directories are available". I'm currently syncing …

Well I was able to back up all of my files without issue with this version. Thank you.

I found my problem. I had a filter not to download .pdf files, which is what those files were. The filter I wanted wa PDF, the whole folder and not individual files. I should have …
