FreeFileSync Forum

I will check for a new version when I feel like doing so. I don't want to be nagged every time I start the program if I've chosen not to update the last time I started it. How do I…

What kind of error messages did 8.6 show that previous versions didn't?

I'll give it a go when I can to find out. Got to say I'm a little nervous about what I may have already lost :-( Thx, Sentry1

The installer sends a few pieces of non-personal data for statistical purposes to the FreeFileSync homepage (language, country, OS name, OS version, ffs version). Cou can verify th…

i cant do that because almost every day, a new subfolder will be created automatically

Links to both FreeFileSync and RealTimeSync should have been created on the Desktop.

Hey guys, I just tried to get the RealtimSync working with my Galaxy Note3. Everything which has a drive letter, is working like a charm (USB sticks, NAS's, ...). RealtimeSync give…

Could be an unmet library dependency. Can you try to start FreeFileSync via command line and see if the console prints out some error message? [Code]

I notice that the last version of compiled FFS for Centos was FFS 7.5. on 1 Sept 2015. I understand that it is a lot of extra work and that there are fewer users of it, however isn…

I have met the same error. After I changed the file system of destination from exFAT to NTFS, I worked well. I think FFS should resolve this problem for exFAT.

Hello, I have the same problem, I can telnet to the port, no FW installed, but FFS always fails with timeout. Ideas? Running the latest version.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message?

Hi, I just donated to receive the ad-free version of the software. The resulting Thank-You page says that the page is only valid until December 1st, 2016. How will I be able to upg…

RealTimeSync is expected to get a redesign including some kind of log window to help troubleshoot cases like these.

Running Linux Mint. Of an older version I was able to install this app so that it would run at startup. Seems like since around version 8 that went away. How does one install this …

Problem solved ! Thank you for an excellent file sync utility.

Okay... Then it's Problem Solved. Thanx..!

Quick update ... ... I've just commented the uncompiling lines, and I succeeded FileSync 8.6 to build and run on openSUSE 13.1. [Code] [Code] Cool stuff...

I'm sorry if my comment doesn't help but I hope that it does. I'm using Linux Mint 18, and indeed version 8.5 works fine for me but 8.6 doesn't. I tried running the file in termina…

I want to selectively synchronize two hard drives over the internet. Files in some folders need to be synchronized daily, other's weekly and/or monthly. Because some of the files a…

I have the same probleme for the update 8.6 of FFS. I need also help. thx Also a probleme whit the installer... [Attachment]

Zenju: Please provide a portable version without the Install.dat, it can be a direct zipped version that can be downloaded and unzipped, and that works right away. And it can be fo…

Oh, and they are still running. I checked that with the task manager. That is, they task continues to run.

If the setting doesn't currently exist, I'll make a request for it, but I was hoping to get confirmation either way before I did that. Thanks everyone.

Sounds like a broken download. Is the installer's signature valid?

Try this: [Code] The issue is that when you synchronize it makes copy of earlier version to L:\. So you need next synchronization for this file to be copied to N:\. If you can do t…

All of it sounds very complicated but it is actually quite easy. Set up a sync in freefilesync and choose to save it as a batch job from the File menu option. Now start Realtimesyn…

for me, the beta version fix my problems. i copied from a synology nas to my local pc, hugh files makes problems, different errors. (BackupWrite..)

never mind - managed to get it installed by using Safe Mode.

Thanks for the reply Zenju, I think that's exactly what ZFS does on the filesystem basis. The initial copy is made to ZIL (a kind of write cache held in RAM). Once that copy is suc…

How often does Real Time Sync check monitored folders? Even when there has been no changes in the monitored folders a log file is being produced approximately every minute. They co…

OK, I've cracked the problem. For some reason my include filter had just one file in it. I guess I probably did an include when I meant to exclude, although I don't remember doing …

Hi, Thx for the suggestion. I want to exclude individual files and all files of certain artists. For the individual files I edit the name of say file 'Adele - Hello.mp3' to 'Adele …

Ubuntu 16.04 ships with libpng12 while 16.10 comes with libpng16. I'll see to offer two FFS builds for the next release.

Oooops. Sorry about that. Sure enough, LastSyncs.log is being created as expected. (When I looked, my search string was "ffs*.log", including matching the path, which found older l…

If I'm following (which I may not be), thinking you'll need to start with "/My Documents/" & then include or exclude the particular subdirectories, as wanted, for a particular run.…

Hi Zenju & others, I am trying to mirror out a TEST & PROD folder set including security & timestamps over WAN-links from Europe to 5 other file servers. We need to have a max chan…

From [URL] I'm starting to understand that RTS doesn't work like FFS. It seems it doesn't really care about the sync settings in the .ffs, it's just pulling in all of the the refer…

File is no longer available?

Hi, i compiled FreeFileSync 8.5 under ubuntu gnome 16.10 by myself and its running fine as far as i can say. Thanks for this very nice program! Here is a little tutorial for buildi…

RecycleBin.ffs_tmp is the folder where FreeFileSync puts the to be deleted/overwritten files before the whole folder is moved to the Windows Recycle Bin at the end of the sync. The…

Hi, [Quote] Clever. Usually, file comparison uses hash keys, hence my reply. Next time, I'll remember to ask the author first! Question then, even if (sorry !) it does not relate t…

Yes it is. No it does not. But changed files seems to be a general problem with SharePoint, it is unclear when they are changed. [URL]

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

Hi, I'm having the same issue, but the hint above is not working for me. In Ubuntu, I use the "Application at startup" GUI Application, and add an entry with the following line (th…

Yes, it's working again :)

[Quote] I cannot explain you briefly how security on NTFS works, but for sure you'll find many guides googling around... :-) First tell us your O.S., Seven? 10? Basically it depend…
