[Quote] I think my question was pretty clear: What message text do you propose instead? Or is this nothing more than an unconstructive rant?

Just reporting that FFS 6.12 (like 6.11) continues to cause a 'tamper alert' from Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 (the corporate version of their antivirus product): SYMANTEC TAMPE…

For some reason when I run the 6.12 setup for Windows everything updates except the portable version (which is the only one I use). The executable file remains: FreeFileSyncPortabl…

AFAIK zip does not store file permissions.

The "Copy locked files" box was unchecked. Issue solved, sorry for the trouble.

After comparison, right in the center under the two panes there's a little box that says "Showing 6858 of 22,814 rows." How do I get it to show me the rest of them? I can't find an…

Hello Everyone, I am an happy user of FFS since years with my Windows based laptop and never had a problem. Recently i bought for work a MACbook and i have a big problem with it an…

Thanks, it's working today. Likely a temporary something at Fosshub

Thanks, that fixed it for me!

thanks for the reply. I now understand :screens changed and I stopped a little bit to early.

When I installed Linux Mint 17.1 yesterday, I noticed that the newest FFS that I could get through the PPA is 6.9, where the download site has a tar.gz with version 6.12. On checki…

[Quote] Answered my own question. For reference sake, FFS cannot do this it seems. To resolve my issue, Robocopy to the rescue... [Code] Thanks/No Thanks.

Thanks, will check it out. It looked 'prettier' in earlier versions, which is why I raised this.

There's a link on top right of the table with files for download saying "Direct Download Link: Off". This causes the links to download some kind of app downloader from sourceforge,…

Thanks! That seems to fix the issue :-)

Let's try this again with FFS version 6.12, release planned for tomorrow.

This has been fixed in FFS 6.11.

Found the problem. I think old project files from an old version of FFS was causing it. The problem went away when I opened a new sync project!

No responses here, so I've started a new thread for this question at [URL]

RealtimeSync's native file format is .ffs_real. Passing a .ffs_batch file works, too, but is mere convenicence, and has the drawback of using the default timeout value.

Hi Guys, I've got FFS 6.9 installed (64 bit version) on a W7Pro64 SP1 PC that was syncing a mapped NAS drive as N: to a local disk D: as a backup of the network shared files. It us…

Where i can get WxWizFrame.fbp ?

I think the best way to keep multiple versions of files as backup is by using FFS's "versioning" feature. What's missing though is a way to have FFS consider a time span. This is p…

OK, starting from scratch did help. It now works. Unfortunately I don't know what was wrong. Regards, Bart

[Quote] +1 for this suggestion.

Hi Plerry, I am dealing with a fairly complex directory structure and in some case 4 or 5 levels deep. My challenge seemed simple at first. Essentially all I want to do is create a…

[Quote] Yes, that's the only limitation of this solution. "Review" in this case means making sure the two folder pairs are disjunct with regards to the file filter. If that is give…

Hi, so I'm currently looking for some backup program and people recommended this. So after trying it, I have a question. Using RealTimeSync - is there a way to not have FreeFileSyn…

Ok, but if I am complaining ? :-) Is it possible to add an option somewhere to keep them even if empty ?

Well, thanks a lot. I've asked three questions on this board, for three different problems, and never received any answer. I guess I'll just stop using FFS.

Thank you for your very generous offer. That offer caused me to be sure that something else wasn't causing the problem. After several failed experiments, late yesterday morning I d…
