FreeFileSync Forum

[Quote] Yes, enough!

Hello guys, is it possible set freefilesync to copy files from a folder on a remote ftp (not sftp) folder, and then move the local file to another local folder? It seems to work wi…

The "Copy locked files" option is part of the FreeFileSync global options. RealTimeSync will launch FreeFileSync so the setting should be respected.

As you can see [URL], the period you are entitled to updates of the FFS donation version depends on the amount you donated.

Hi Lukas, I hope you had managed to recover your lost files. If not, I recommend you Recuva from Piriform, is free and effective. DON'T use the pc where you have lost your files be…

[Quote] OK, GOT IT. I didn't know about the ability to configure "local" versioning, it was grayed out when I tried. A little check box later and I had what I wanted. Thanks again.

Ok thank you, and sorry for having missed the page in the FAQ ! ;)

Hi. I have a domain user "backup" that is a memer of groups "Domain Users" and "Backup operators". Domain user "backup" is a member of LOCAL "Administrators" group on server where …

Good morning. As I wrote in the subject deleted files on a HD1 are restored on HD1 instead of being deleted on the HD2. In the attached file an example with a file that was deleted…

You should ask Microsoft that question. And you know how responsive they generally are ... :-( , particularly on topics that they do not deem very important.

Seriously no one is facing the same issue? How can I report a bug to the developer?

Re-reading your initial posting, your intended use might have been hiding in there ... ;-) However, your intended use does not seem to be part of FFS's present features. To be hone…

I'm having the same problem. To be more specific, I have FreeFileSync installed on server "X" and I am trying to backup files from specific folder on server "X" to a shared folder …

Thank you. That worked like a charm.

I'm not the developer, but ... It seems the functionality you are looking for is deletion handling/versioning. You will find that under Synchronization Settings (F8). I don't know …

It appears the problem may have been hardware related. I swapped out one of the 2.5" hot swap bays I had been using with a new one that has two 2.5" hot swap bays, opened two insta…

Try running FFS as Administrator.

Hello. I have installed FFS 9.0 in two WinXP machines, but there is no SFTP button (on your screens button is available), tell me why please. Thanks.

On one of the computers where I use FreeFileSync, when I synchronize the Desktop and Documents folders with their copies located in the D:\Backup\ folder, an access error occurs wh…

I could use forced copy of some folders on a local basis. Why run two programs, seems a simple option?

Just upgraded to 9.1 and I can not do anything with it. Several different modes of failure. It has started to sync but then says it can no longer read from the drive. Now as soon a…

(S)FTP doesn't work under WinXP. Why ? Can it be fixed ? May be - some workaround ? Thanks in advance

Sounds like a job for the [URL].

Problem solved! Thank you so much for your help. Fantastic service!

Hi there, Is it possible not to sync the same files twice? I have FreeFileSync configured as shown on the screenshot. New files from the source folder will be synced to the target …

Yes, currently there is no special version for Linux.

Your English is quite good actually. The forum should provide useful information for all FreeFileSync users, so please keep it in English.

After going through this thread, my question is that: How to tell (udate the DB?) FFS to mark both sides as equal without copying/updating the files? My situation is that, I have c…

Is there a way to move instead of copy data after a compare: [Image]

The message seems pretty clear (and correct). See [URL]. So, why this posting?

Are you able to provide me with a test access to this folder?

Hello Zenju, Thanks for the tip. That solved the problem, I was using FreeFileSync between Linux OS before and did not know about this problem. Thanks a lot!

I still don't understand how to eliminate this issue. I would like t o continue backing up one computer on the other but this message is now preventing me from doing so. Is there a…

There should be only a single "sync.ffs_db" file used per folder pair when you have set up the "two way" synchronization variant. The "sync.ffs_lock" files are deleted automaticall…

The ".ffs_tmp" files are naturally created on the target side of a sync job. Other than that, FreeFileSync always writes the last sync operations into "LastSyncs.log" ([URL]). If y…

Ok, understand. How to sync with FTP/SFTP under WinXP ? Could you show me section <FolderPairs> in *.ffs_gui for sync with (S)FTP ?

Perry - Many thanks I'll try out your suggestions.

[Attachment] Never mind I fixed that. The culprit is in Avira Antivirus and it's real time protection. Somehow it marked FreeFileSync as malware named "PUA/FusionCore.Gen (Cloud)" …
