FreeFileSync Forum

I use a virtual machine of XP under vmware, and want to sync some file in the virtual machine to my computer. So I use FFS to sync file from the local disk to network neighborhood …

[Quote] What is the problem in batch mode? It's still a fatal error and the corresponding folder pairs will be skipped.

"folder_traverser.h" should be "file_traverser.h". I've updated the sources accordingly. Thanks!

By default, FFS executes explorer /select, "%item_path%" Maybe the file path contains some character that breaks this command line.

Hi zenju... First of all : Thank you so much for that wonderful Tool ! Now, one question: Does FFS prevent Windows (8.1 x64) from getting into Hybernate/Sleep state during File Tra…

I build a new package freefilesync ([404, Invalid URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:codeminister/freefilesync-6.13]). To be more standard-compliant this package use…

There's "LastSyncs.log" and its size can be set up in GlobalSettings.xml (see help file chapter "[URL]"). Maybe this is what you need?

Not sure what you mean but I think you need to sync one to the other then do the same again. I do a LAN_WAN sync, the LAN is (my docs, my music, my vids....and so on) the WAN is Mi…

Can you post some screenshots and message, in particular the error messages you're seeing?

Hello again. It seems the problem was that the folder I'm syncing with the external drive is also, at the same time, being synced to a Synology NAS (through the synology cloud soft…

[Quote] Standby is not the default for the "on completion" command. Maybe you (accidentally) set this up in the batch file creation dialog in FreeFileSync.

Ah, I hadn't realized there are separate settings for the current sync job. I'll try again with that option enabled, thanks.

Hi Zenju, I just retested too. It is now working for me a well. Thank you! I wonder if iweb had anything to do with it? -T wget --header='Host: iweb.dl.sourceforge.net' --header='U…

Great. For right now, I'm just going to chill and wait for 6.14 release. I've got about 15 versions on my machine right now. :)

I've noticed the same behaviour. The workarount/solution is obvious, but I think FFS should report this in LastSyncs.log Can I make a plea for a FFS Change Request involving: - Rep…

Sorry about that. I've continued on in the other thread.

Hi! First, I would like to thank the devs for this software. I tested with admin privileges, and I couldn't copy the log file. So, I would like to add a suggestion: Is it possible …

What if you're running into this exact error... but it happens even when you are already using the full UNC path and you're not even using task scheduler yet? I set up an OpenMedia…

[Quote] Great - thanks for confirming.

This is still a todo: [URL]

Thank you. It works.

Any update on my 2014-12-23 reply? The problem will not just go away with time and others are also experiencing the same problem.

I like to view all of the "exclude" filters that I have installed without having to scroll the exclude filter window or manually resizing the entire "Synchronization Settings" wind…

Not be a problem in that it will ignore the 5-year-old or older files & folders if I enter the number of days in the filter? Thanks

I have FreeFileSync Portable loaded on my external HDD which I use to back up all files from my local computer folders. I would like to set the drive up so that when I plug the usb…

[Quote] I figured it out. I was trying to compare based on content rather than file size and time. It works with file size and time. On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 12:03 AM, Phillip Fries…

Subject says it all. Strangely neither does rsync. Any ideas?

Actually, they are saved as ffs_batch extensions. They were created by using the far right icon in the configuration section of the GUI.

I have to External HDDs that I have purchased for my MBP. I would like to mirror the content of each other. Is that possible through Freefilesync? If yes, could someone please guid…

Thx you, it works :)

>Is there any way to tell it to "always retry"? Yes, go to menu -> tools -> options: "automatically retry on error"

I downloaded from this URL; the tar.gz package does not appear to contain any package file that I can install with apt-get or equivalent or with dpkg. is there some trick here whic…

I have no strong tendencies about case 3. Considering that running a .ffs_gui file should mirror behavior of a .ffs_batch file it probably makes sense to just start comparison in t…

Hi, any idea what am I doing wrong? I am able to mount my network drive (I replaced the IP with nines to not publish it here): jan_helebrant@Latitude:~/Dokumenty$ sudo mount -t cif…

Windows XP, SP3.

I am able to copy thousands of files within a hundred folders with XCOPY and Windows Explorer drag-n-drop. Unfortunately, there is still no consistency with FFS on which files or f…

I downloaded the latest version but can find no installation instructions or package - is the tar.gz package corrupted?

Can you reproduce this with FreeFileSync 6.13?

Hi, as I did not find a precompiled package for my 32 bit OpenSuse 13.2 system, I tried to compile FreeFileSync 6.13 from the source. I downloaded the source archive FreeFileSync_6…

There's no difference between the sync variants when it comes to file copying and setting time stamps. FreeFileSync consistently checks for errors, but it's sometimes possible that…

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. The help files include the windows syntax so I had difficulty translating that to mac. Intention was to sync only .Picasa.ini files and .picasaori…

I am trying to copy the contents of my Bitcasa (formerly) infinite cloud drive to an external hard drive. I had manually copied a number of the folders (painfully) using the window…

I've several FFS batchjobs running from within a bat-file (win8.) I tried all options in Windowds Tasklist and Find options to check if any FFS-job is still running. If so continui…

I've had this problem for a while as well (I'm led to believe that Koen might be right about it being a Task Scheduler problem as I also use that). With the GUI I can complete each…

Hi Perry Thanks - that sounds like the problem. I have tried resetting sync settings, but have not had any success, so far. I guess a reboot and/or install as administrator may do …

Your observation is correct, "CopyLockedFiles" is stored in GlobalSettings.xml which is a per-user setting stored under "%AppData%". "ProgramFiles" as location won't work for multi…

It's available here (and works great, btw)... [URL]

Currently running FFS v6.12 on Windows 7 64bit A folder called RecycleBin_0.ffs_tmp has appeared in a folder I backup regularly. I can't delete it in Windows or a DOS window becaus…

Thanks, I can confirm that the bug is fixed now. :) Happy holidays!

I want my user folder (C:\Users\MyUser) is duplicated with some exceptions on another disk. So I created a folder pair, eg. C:\Users\MyUser > D:\MyUser When Free File Sync has fini…
