This should just automatically work, I would think? Assuming you mirror over the contents of the expensive datacenter server to the cheap datacenter server correctly, when FFS runs…

In "Comparison settings" deselect [x] Include symbolic links or select the (o) Direct option. [URL]

FreeFileSync automatically overwrites the file and creates a new DB when the error is ignored.

OK thanks for that, Zenju. One more question: the RealTimeSync icon in the taskbar has a message "Waiting until all directories are available". I'm currently syncing 2 PCs - I may …

Thanks for the update. Yes we are waiting for option to limit the number of versions.

Ahhh, thanks. That works great!

Well, a lot has happened since I initially posted, so I can't say for sure, but I think all I needed to do was unzip the Resources.zip file.

Can you send me a Process Monitor trace of this? [URL] Perhaps some other application is messing with the installer process? (e.g. AV)

Not really. FreeFileSync is for files. In addition to the files on the filesystem, a hard disk contains a master boot record and partition table. Those are not copied by FreeFileSy…

This looks like an old NetPresenz FTP server for the mac. Is it possible to get login credentials for testing? I could then try to adapt the parsing and see if FFS can support this…

I agree it should be made clear that the donation edition is only for mac/windows users, given the fact that statistically linux and mac users are more likely to donate.

Update: I solved my problem: While updating to Ubuntu 18.04 somehow my ntfs partition changed its ownership to root:root - chowning it back solved my issue.

Fixed! [URL]

Hi Zenju, Thanks very much for your reply. That's right, I want to delete the files in a folder after they have been copied to the destination folder (and keep the origin folder). …

I have a similar issue. I migrated from an old PC to a newer faster one (actually the old one began to overheat and was slow to begin with). So, my question is, I have installed th…

I assume other applications are also unable to work with what seems to be a custom file system implementation for Windows Explorer?

I have just upgraded from FFS v9.3 to v10 and am a bit confused about whether or not v10 has installed itself as a Donation Edition or not; v9.3, when launched from the same folder…

Here's the fixed version: [URL]

[Quote] I'm going to have to disagree with you here. If you have one copy of data that is, arguably, the master copy because it includes all of the data, and then you have a sync c…

Thank you very much. Now I found it. Kind regards Chris

Maybe if enough users complain to MS, they'll eventually fix their AV... Even the FFS exe *after* installation is flagged with "PUA:Win32/InstallCore", which is ridiculous.

Thanks. Done!

Since some months ago I noticed FreeFileSync has become too slow. To synchronize 10 MB it takes almost half an hour, very strange, because for such an amount of data it usually too…

Thanks for the fix, I hope it was helpful and not too picky :-) (can be closed)

I can resend confirmation emails, no problem, I just need some details that identify the donation, like an email and date, or amount, etc. However, since the FreeFileSync Donation …

[Quote] This isn't an error message in a technical sense, because there isn't a function call that failed. It's just that the folders mentioned do not exist.

Hi, does anyone know if it was possible to filter the colored tags for mac? I need, in a folder, to filter all files or folders tagged with green.

Dear Team, Thank you for the free software, it is good and helpful, I used it to Sync my Android mobile (OnePlus 3) with my laptop but after I select all my important folders and c…

There isn't, and the Symantec detection is garbage: [URL]

Update - it seems that the first attempt to instal did something unpleasant to OSX, as I subsequently found that the Finder would not respond. After a restart of the machine, FreeF…

Would love to have a reply on this, as I am trying to set up a batch file to sync all downloaded music files between phone and pc!

It's interesting how some AV engines still can find something that is not there. In reality their "algorithm" seems to be a simple string comparisons on the file name containing "F…

Yes, and it's not a problem.

[Quote] I have the same problem but with Windows Home Server v1, which is a hybrid of Server 2003. V9.9 works fine, but v10 gives me the same error as above.

The issue has been fixed! Please try again with the new version: [URL]

It seems there are different options: 1) The simplest, but probably least preferred: provide the admin-user access to all (or at least the relevant) user-sections in C:\Users and s…

It seems crashes with 0xc0000604 are caused by Malwarebytes.

Yep! Extremely clear, thank a lot for help. I'll do a batch like this: Run (two step) comparison and execution of A < > B Run (two step) comparison and execution of B < > C Run (tw…

Hi, just upgraded to 10.0, now RTS has stopped working. Cmd line and batch file are the same. What do I need to change please? Thanks Simon

Okay, great!

[Quote] Your command line is incorrect. FreeFileSync.app is just a folder and cannot be executed from command line. To get the correct command line just import a .ffs_batch file in…

Just enter the full FTP path to "archive" where you want the file to be moved to. Copy and paste the FTP path from the main dialog to the versioning folder input field on the scree…

I found the error. I was using Windows task scheduler to start RealTimeSync after logging in, but that seemed to open two instances of RealTimeSync causing this error. Solved it by…

Solution: if auto sync not run - reduce idle setting until sync work read [URL]

If the issue really *is* a timeout, then increasing "FolderAccessTimeout" will help ([URL]) or simply "retry on error" once with a sufficient delay.
