FreeFileSync Forum

I read a number of forum posts about the file manager, Dolphin, freezing which led me to this one, [URL]. It advised deleting the ~/.local/share/mime/ folder. Instead of deleting i…

Long time user of FreeFileSync, using same config for several years to migrate to DEV/STAGING Using 4 threads, FTP. The "compare" is really fast. The "Sycnronize" task is the issue…

Good Morning Plerry, Many thanks for your excellent reply. I will give it a try. Best regards, Vyodacoda.

Thankyou for explanation. I've try again to import the batch file in RTS and delete the target link folders (i leave only the source folder link) and now works!

Hi, Thx ! Solved indeed ! My FFS came from the Ubuntu app installer (Discover). As you suggested, leaving the mouse over the greyed-out button did inform me about a README file tha…

Thank you for your response. At the point I would like this new context menu I am only only populating one of the two folder pair to use this app to highlight were I have large dir…

Hello, i have installed the software, but i do not know what i have to put in command line ? I know it on windows but not on mac. I want freefile sync launch and copie data from fo…

I added "\*\" to the exclude and that worked. Thank you.

The difference in the order of operations is negligible, so I think a warning for one justifies a warning for the other. I think accidentally swapping sides before comparing is mor…

Thanks for your response. I'll remove the ffs_gui file and just work with the ffs_batch file.

Nevermind. I forgot that I had monkeyed with my target server to change the chroot directory for that user. Once I changed it back to what it should be, things started working. I'l…

It is related to Topic 11895 as you say. The one extra piece of information I would add is that most variants of Linux _can_ do what's described there as a workaround for MacOS, i.…

My search was unsuccessful, so I've opened another thread of this exact topic. Now I know there are fellow syncers, who are waiting for somebody to pull them out from this mirrorin…

Oh, okay... Then I'm not the first. Probably not the last. :/

ah I see that. Thank you for the quick reply! I recommend adding the download option to the Help dropdown itself or maybe change the text in that dialog. It isn't clear that clicki…

Thanks Plerry, it is exactly what I wanted.

Hi, Are you using OneDrive software that comes with Windows to access the files in ffs? The only way to get this to work properly is to make sure that 100% of the files on OneDrive…

It's built with no google key, but it works well for local Sync !

Maybe it was because I used the "portable apps platform version". With the "zip donation portable version" it worked. Thanks.

But already twice App crashed and produced dump file FreeFileSync_Win32.exe 14.2 CrashDump 2025-02-23 185807.dmp So, i have to rollback again. Waiting for next release.

By default, FreeFileSync (FFS) "locks" the left and right location(s) during a Compare and Sync. See the description of the [URL]. FFS does so by writing a sync.ffs_lock file to th…

From what you describe, it seems the Update sync variant (as opposed to the Two-way or Mirror sync variant) is what you are looking for.

update: we found a regression in our rpm-tools upgrade that caused the corruption when packaging FreeFileSync. Having fixed the regression, the FreeFileSync package now works again…

Figured you guys would know the most about this. Trying to set up FFS between my desktop and laptop. Both computers connected to same network via ethernet. Network profile is PUBLI…

It works! I also noticed you have a few more patches, and put back the ffs_traditional_view.patch. When I find some time, I will look into the other ones. Many thanks!

I have encountered the same problem, after using the recovery software to recover the deleted files, but all the files are damaged, what should I do? May I ask if you have solved i…

Hello Zenju, I downloaded the ZIP and extracted it into the portable folder. This time I selected "Overwrite ALL files" (before I selected "Overwrite OLDER files". Now it is workin…

I am using FreeFileSync Portable and have extracted it to the following folder: [Code] Up to now FreeFileSync detected my license file and I was able to use FFS normally. Today FFS…

Like the original error/warning already tells you: The GMX cloud apparently did, and likely still does not support directory monitoring. Therefore it is not possible/useful to use …

Thank you Zenju. That helps. I have compared folder by folder to find the missing files via Explorer and eventually find them. I just can't figure out why Free Files isn't catching…

You need <PostSyncAction>None</PostSyncAction>

You can edit the (global) Include and Exclude Filter rules via the (red) funnel-icon mid above the left and right base location in the FreeFileSync (FFS) GUI. Pressing F7 does the …

Glad it's working! It must have been silently failing since that pair no longer existed and thus the "last successful sync" never occured

Thank you, therube! I did have Update using the "Use database" option set. deselecting it stopped filling my trash can. Thank you once again!

[Code] The time durations until the "Connection closed" occurs vary a lot. This probably rules out "keep alive" as being the issue. It's unclear which side is initiating the connec…

The last thing I would want to do is overwrite the currently existing backup, as there seem to be two corrupted files already, in different locations of the same (system) drive, co…

My pleasure, glad you got it working

I have upgraded my Mac to a new Mac mini. This device has a build in speaker inside but I use a Mac Studio monitor as output device. The sound alert from the app are played over th…

thanks!

I took a quick look yesterday & using a grep it was easy enough to find "strings", like "Error:", but I don't know that the found data is particularly useful as (at least in .txt o…

When FreeFilesync download files from ftp in several threads why it shows only 1 thread with % of current download but not for all threads - 4 for example...?

How about the Ignore Errors (option, in the Comparison tab). Would that blanket ignore all errors, & just proceed to the next file. (Which I guess would relegate you to actually ch…

It seems you have selected to use the "Use database file to detect changes" option (in the Synchronization Settings (F8) window) in your Update sync. Then, as xCSxXenon replied, fi…

Thanks a lot

Oh, I've searched, but I couldn't find the question. Thank you very much, I'm following the discussion there...
