FreeFileSync Forum

Great. Thanks!

Hello, I must be making the same mistake over and over. All I want to do is keep a few folders syncd. I am using two hard drives. I can't just point the right folder to an empty fo…

Using a deletion handling other than "recycle bin" will avoid the warning.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! Wish FFS better and better.

Can you try the following version and see if the problem persists? [URL]

Hi, I proposed to make .deb packages which are more userfriendly... Look at my private message. I just added .desktop and folder architecture, then packed it with debreate.

whooops sorry, I was wrong. The error is, my Android server application OR Netdrive bug messes up the dates. You can delete this thread ^^

More on the last message: I access that disk with Administrator rights

You are entirely right! I remotely connect to this machine so often, I didn't even think about the possible interference. I tried FFS directly without using TeamViewer and it worke…

[Quote] My NAS is WD MyCloud model, it is accessed by SMB protocol and I think that is why FFS cannot make any file hidden. Thank you, Zenju

How about simply typing the drive+path, or dragging the folder from e.g. Windows Explorer to the left or right location position in the FFS GUI.

Can you download FFS 8.8 from the homepage again? This looks like a last-minute bug that I've already fixed shortly after the release.

because i haven't thought about that before. it works. thanks. i have to use a tool called autorunner though, because win7 doesn't support autorun.inf.

Thanks for the Reply and your time... What I am trying to do is find an alternative sync application that works very similar to a Paid/Licensed sync program we currently use. To av…

The source package lacks build instructions, but I have met most or all dependencies. I am trying to build FFS 8.8 on a fully updated Cygwin64 system. The first error that does not…

Best solution is to notify your IT department which is responsible for the proxy software and tell them to fix the "soft HTTP failure" and fail with the proper HTTP error code. As …

I think I had crashes similar to those described above. Though, before such problems was not. Why it seems to me that this may be due to the fact that I switched to a new proxy (ad…

In the sync settings window (F8), bottom left, you can define your preference for error handling: Ignore or Pop-up

[URL] is the one I used before

when Freefilesync is used to create a scheduled task it fails to run with error code 0x03 . I tried different options mentioned on Google such as run at 2012 level, username admini…

It should still work, unless Inno Setup broke something in the latest releases. XP also works.

Did you configure your batch task to run minimized?

Can you post a screenshot of message? Are you running some version of Windows RT?

Thank you.

Well, I got the solution. I put the specific job file into root of each usb stick and nacking up would be easy as click on that file.

Zenju, thank you for the update. After reading your manual update, and considerable testing, I can say that RTS does not trigger when a subfolder of the monitored folder changes if…

Nobody can tell?

Hi, Sorry for my poor English. I read many posts in here and find that I'm not the first to have this kind of question. Probably because I don't have a good idea of what are under …

If FFS didn't give an error indication this means that the operating system calls did not give any error indication. They OTOH called the file system drivers, which seem to be bugg…

Hi all, I have used FreeFileSync for awhile now on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Recently I've tried to install on a new machine running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I have Avast anti virus runn…

Just launch Process Explorer and look at the command line used during process start.

No, the FFS launcher exe (FreeFileSync.exe) automatically does this for you including a few additional system-readiness checks.

Hi, i seem to be having a problem with crashing while transferring files. I've found that during a transfer, if the other machine that the system is copying to goes to sleep or aut…

I'm having the very same issue, although I'm using version 8.8. As soon as I click "Browse," the application freezes and I have to close it out. I'm not sure what the problem is, b…

Zenju, thank you. That will work perfectly.
