FreeFileSync Forum

Hello guys, I´ve just installed Free file sync on my SBS 2011...everything work fine untill I want to sync single huge files - aprox 500MB+... Any ideas what is going on? If I want…

I believe I fixed the problem. I was using the direct I/O option (faster access speed) instead of SCSI disk option (works like real physical disk).

Sounds like a simple "mirror" sync.

I have been using FFS 8.10 on Ubuntu 16.04 for a few weeks now. Everything has been fine, until today. When I try to sync my local hard drive (the same) with a USB stick (the same)…

Hello, trying to build FreeFileSync 9.0 on Ubuntu 17.04 there is this compilation error: [Code] The libzenxml package gets installed. It has version 2.4. However I also do not find…

I've had to do things similar to this for various reasons. You'll need to use something like robocopy. Test it out on a temp directory first. [URL] Basically: ROBOCOPY <source> <ta…

THANK YOU!! :) Your dedication and level of service is simply unbelievable!

What happens when you click on it? It's an RSS feed.

Hey Folks, So I need to do a massive delete and I'm naturally a bit concerned that I'll screw something up in the process. I'm hoping that one of you can point me to the proper con…

resolved this went into the homegroup settings and updated the permissions to view and edit for the folder im trying to sync

Here are my notes from my successful build, as far as I can tell the program runs correctly but please do not try it with any data you can't afford to lose until you are confident …

No, no problem, I just hid my ftp address.

Installed just fine; I just ran "compare", looked OK. Shortcut on Taskbar remained valid, now showing vs. 9. Almost too easy! Thank you, Zenju, for your response - just thought you…

Hello everyone. I need help. I've done a sync two folders in mirror mode. After two hours I realized that I did wrong and I changed the version of some files which should not be ch…

Oh man, I am an idiot, the empty rows obviously are showing files on the opposite side that aren't in the first one. It makes perfect sense. Sorry! :)

Legend. Thanks. I'll test with the new version as soon as it's released.

Well, that didn't help, but I'm starting to suspect the problem may actually be my router. Last night I determined that it actually does work for a little while if I disconnect the…

Failure to set modification times will be treated as a warning instead of an error in the next FFS 9.0.

Thank you very much for your reply, Zenju. That makes a lot of sense, I'll check into that. Have a great weekend. Thanks!

Updated to 8.10 and as i want to make the dump it worked for the first time! Will watch it in future and come back here if it makes troubles again .... thanks

ok, got it. THis is working on my laptop, but not my desktop. The only big difference was a mount bind. It seems that if you mount bind the original folder you are trying to sync t…

Allright, I understand. Thank you for help.

Thank you!

This is my first msg: greetings to all. . . Using FFS for some years and I am satisfied, but there are some things I do not understand because of my poor knowledge of english. For …

Have you checked this? [URL] If you really have a case where FFS does not list a file that Windows Explorer shows, then the next step is to simplify your test case so that FFS only…

You can contact me via the email found on the home page: [URL]

hi how can i sync 1 folder (with multiple files) to 2 pc at the same time'??, i dont want see bloqued directory waiting.....

[Code] See [URL] So for the logs it's better to not leave the log folder empty and explicitly say where FFS should put them.

Hello. I'm using FreeFileSync version 8.10 and am new to the program. I have been using this for a couple of weeks but have hit a snag I can't explain. I have the program set up to…

I'm getting those errors too on Linux Mint. They come from trying to install from the repositories.

See the [URL].

I'm sure the answer will be no, but I'll ask anyway. :) I am trying to find a solution that will allow me to archive/move files over a year old to the same folder path on a differe…

Just change the Include filter (F7) definition from "*" into e.g. "*.rmh". See [URL]. The Include and Exclude filter use the same formats and concepts. Remember: all filter definit…

I have been using Cubby for years to sync files and folders between 5 PC's Some folders between just 2 PC's, some between all of them in real time without the use of a cloud. (Cubb…

I am backing up entire drives. Strangely, 2 drives back-up as expected. The third (6TB Movies) does not. I receive the error, "Cannot open directory "/Volumes/6TB Movies/.DocumentR…

I can't follow your question, makes my head hurt :-). But, if it helps to know, I am syncing a Folder on a NAS (Source/Left) to a Win7 PC (Destination/Right). I DO NOT use a mapped…

Right click on the file, select properties, check bottom of general tab for a sentence that looks like "This file came from another computer........". If there, click on unblock. I…

Hi, I am trying to get the MTP Feature running, but Freefilesync doesn't see my MTP Device. My device pops up in Android File Transfer app when I plug it in. But thats it. Any hint…

If it is the same as the Windows Backup Operator Mode I do not know, but when run in Windows FreeFileSync supports [URL].

Hello, Thanks for creating such a useful app! It has huge potential for me, except one (hopefully tiny) problem: I set up a simple single directory, 10 file test directory and try …

Hi, This is how I have managed to exclude the synchronization of some folders from My Documents folder:

I feel this the no 1 best file sync software, I tested lot of realtime filesync software thoroughly, this one is the better than other. Though, I have found a bug while handling su…

Yes it is a Mirror update left to right.

Hi Plerry, Many thanks for the reply. I have tested this and got it working and also ensured the Versioning folder was excluded (although the Versioning is actually being stored on…

The "problem" is your versioning location is inside/part of your backup location. This gives strange/undesired results if the Versioning location is not excluded via a filter, espe…

FFS uses wxSYS_COLOUR_INFOTEXT and wxSYS_COLOUR_INFOBK for text and background color. If this doesn't give a readable color pair, then it's a wxWidgets bug: [URL]

How does one Clear the drop down Folder Lists? Where are those lists stored; what file can I delete? Thank You in Advance John Fred

Hi, This will help you on your way [URL] If you can't see the button try the menu "Tools" -> "Reset layout" hope that helps.
