bonjour, si je synchronise c:\toto\tata\ vers d:\data\ il ne crait pas d:\data\toto\tata\ ? comment le faire automatiquement ? un logiciel comme back4sure permet même de créer d:\d…

That's excellent! :) Also big thanks to you for not giving up after the initial bug submission and having the patience of testing and sending all these crash dumps! Updating the SP…

See [URL] for a possible solution. Note that you could just alter the setting to 1822 as you only have a 30 minute problem.

Please consider adding an option to flag the upstream source as read only, and to not attempt to create a lock file there. Currently whenever I'm synchronizing from a read-only net…

A first version of RealtimeSync for OS X can be found here: [URL]

Hi Would like to use the RealTimeSync to sync files(folder) with my NAS and other computers, also usb-stick. But I do not get the trick? Could you please show me how to do the .ffs…

Zenju: North American English is my first language. I provided two clear possibilities, why not use one of them? What you indicated is a step in the right direction, but still not …

Hallo! Ich möchte ein file (oder Verzeichnis) mit dem NAS ständig synchron halten. Realtimesync dann auf allen Laptops intallieren, damit am NAS und allen Laptop die files immer sy…

I just compared file content in two directories across two PCs which should have the same content as the PCs have historically been used as backup for each other. FFS shows 800 fil…

Hi, so for a week now we noticed that our ffs wasn't backing up like it usually does on a daily basis through scheduled task. It is able to run and sync files but that it stops and…

Hi, the same problem. Any idea what is wrong? source NAS Open-E, samba sharing, path \\dss\db, problem only file (microsoft database) ddp.mdb, other files no problem target localho…

This is a known problem. The main dialog should be disabled while the progress dialog is shown, but this does not seem to be supported on OS X except when a modal dialog is shown. …

Program has been running beautifully, updated to 5.23, caught a brief glimpse of something like log error. Now doesn't compare. re-typed directories [1 hd, 1 memstick], hit <compar…

These steps have been tried successfully on 32bit Ubuntu ver 13.10 : 1. Launch Synaptic Package Manager. (It's not installed on Ubuntu by default. If you've not got it yet you can …

Thanks for this - I greatly appreciate your help.

Generally spoken: a conflict signals you have a problem! If only one side has changed since the last 2-way sync, there is no conflict, and the newer file will be marked to be copie…

You can find it in ~/Library/Application Support/FreeFileSync. I've updated the help file accordingly.

Dear FFS I invested in Skydrive in the hope/expectation that I could back up my PC to it. In practice it is impossible, and not an intended use of skydrive which is a pity. I have …

So that means permissions on Windows are just broken? If so why is there even the option?

The network device seems to have a problem with FFS's sequence of first creating a .ffs_tmp file followed immediately by a rename operation. You can probably solve this error by di…

Wo ist was nicht sortiert?

I am using version 5.20 and I am using FFS to mirror sync from a NetDrive WebDav server. Every time the clocks get changed (including this past weekend), FFS tries to copy over eve…

Hi, I've read in this forum couple of topics relating to the same error. Here is my work scenario: I use NetDrive to connect to 12 ftp accounts and sync them using ffsync. When I t…

This problem has been fixed: "Prevent temporarily incorrect statistics after unexpected increase in workload" This means that if the bytes to copy increase after comparison (or eve…

First of all, you must be sure that "Two-way" is selected in Synchronization Settings. Secondly, after the first "two-way" sync, FFS creates a database file (sync.ffs_db) in each f…

Great, it works just fine! I hope other users won't be inconvenienced...

Once you are at this point ... 1) Don't use any software that would write anything to the stick It might overwrite any data still on your stick and make it unrecoverable. 2) Use an…

HI Zenju :), Just to let you know your adjustment in FFS v5.23 worked a treat no wrapping to second line unless files being deleted were over 9999 Many Thanks

[Quote] Well... :) the 5.22 also has the "contract violation" bug, which I assume to be incorrect handling of an out of memory situation, so you're probably just lucky. Anyway 5.23…

I found the problem. There somehow is a stuck FFS process, in the background. It became visible when I clicked on "Show processes from all users", and the owner of the process is l…

[Quote] I just resolved my problem with Windows 8.1 Task Scheduler failing to do Sync. The problem appeared to be that when executed through the Task Scheduler the FreeFileSync pro…

When I was running Windows 8, FreeFileSync would Sync folders between two computers over my Local Network when scheduled as a task in Windows 8 Task Scheduler. At the time I was us…

The goal is for one way transfer of the result files of simulations, between folders at different locations. Before the sync of each result file - an external analysis program has …

Ah thanks Zenju and srjones67. This is what I was looking for.

Lately (since about two latest versions) FFS hasn't worked on my system anymore. When I hit compare, it returns almost immediately and shows no differences, no matter which folders…

After our test , Real Time Monitor under (1) Rescan once when the program starts (2) When a file transaction will Rescan There is no way to turn off "(2) When a file transaction wi…

You can pay for FFS, too, if you want ;) (check the symlink handling in comparison settings)

The two database formats are basically incompatible due to the difference in handling case sensitivity between Windows/Linux and (probably( different file id representations.

All finished good with no negative numbers, so the correction seems to be good. Thanks again! The job takes shorter than usual because it is synced but will inform here about any c…

does nobody have an idea? the thing is that i didnt change any file in both directories, i just copied die data from one system to the other. but freefilesync now says that all fil…

can someone please compile a .deb version of freefilesync for those of us using debian or at the very least give me an easy to follow guide on how to do it myself

Thank you for the idea. Testing it this way now :) I've noticed that when I run one folder test and watch Networking tab in Task Manager, it shows steady 3% utilization. When I run…

Using FFS 5.22 10/1/13 64 bit build... Just noticed that there is a discrepancy: when try to sync either of 2 folders that are on local and USB drives that are identical with 131 i…

It seems that i have sold my problem.

Excuse my delay. Thanks again Zenju.

I found these paths (which are apparently there by default): \System Volume Information\ \$Recycle.Bin\ \RECYCLER\ \RECYCLED\ *\desktop.ini *\thumbs.db I compared the source and de…

As the title says. I have an Asus Transformer that I'd like to sync to, but FreeFileSync just says the folder name is invalid. Is there a way to do it?

> FFS is only detecting moved files in mirror mode after I've already done at least one sync Yes, syncing at least once is required. This isn't about performance, but a logical req…

Why is FreeFileSync doing a total backup? Does the USB drive not properly save file modification times?
