When starting ffs I get the error „no response“, restart is only possible after rebooting my note book. In addition the comparison came to and end of about 54000 files, but the amo…

There are some folders I consider "generic" across installations, that are located in the User "Documents" folder. Savegames are one example, but also any that might be considered …

I had the same problem. I was starting RealTimeSync from a .ffs_real file. Syncing worked, but I got multiple instances. Instead of starting from a .ffs_real file, create a shortcu…

Got it. Thank you! This needs to be written down somewhere in a visible place, since many people ask about it.

Well that explains my confusion. Thanks for the clarification and advice.

> 1.How Do I Set Automatic Synchronization by Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Week, or Month? You develop and verify a sync configuration in the FreeFileSync (FFS) GUI, and the save tha…

So, you have your Task Scheduler launch FreeFileSync (FFS) every Monday to run your syncro.ffs_batch sync configuration. And that seems to work fine. You can check the FFS log to s…

the only workaround i have is manualy uncheck the locked flag on mac side. but if there is too many folder. you will give up

Thanks! It only (...) took me 6 years to fully get it ... ;-)

Hi Everyone, If am happily running the excellent software to take files that have been downloaded from the Internet up to 2 different Internet sites as a Mirror. It seems to work v…

[Quote] Wow, after so many years someone has found an actual solution! Thank you very much.

That is only true if such folder comprises file-types that should not be synced, whereas similar file-type items from its subfolders should be synced.

Works fine on a NON Domain setup. Will not work if the system is domain based

This has been resolved. I needed to grant FreeFileSync access to my Google account. I have been using FFS for a couple of years now to sync my laptop to my Google drive. A week or …

The batch job task is set to wake up the computer. So it appears the problem is with the Task Scheduler. Do you have any recommendations on diagnosing the Task Scheduler? Thanks, G…

Thanks, I didn't know that column had links to the logs. I thought it simply showed the sync status. Thanks, Gary

Your post is quite lengthy, but if I understand your first part correctly, you should have an Include Filter of /*.ext1 ( so: not /*ext* ) /folder1/folder11/folder112/folder1121/fi…

Responding to Plerry (25 oct 2022, 06:47): Even today the problem of the incompatibility presented by 2flow2 (25 oct 2022, 01:58) persists in RTS, especially in Linux Ubuntu 24.04.…

RTS simply kicks off a CMD command-line, which is running your FFS config. The log will be with the other sync logs

Thank you again, I got it working. My next challenge is realtime sync.

Try ignoring errors for this sync. You could disable the 'lock' files by modifying the FFS XML file, but that's more difficult than ignoring these errors if it gives you the option

Thanks, I found it and was just about to delete this post.

That worked perfectly Plerry, I guess I must have accidentaaly clicked on it somewhere down the line. Many thanks for your help.

Thank you very much. If this proves to be over my head, I'll use FreeFileSync since my Media Drive does not have files added or deleted that often.

Ptyxis is now supported.

You'll have to have the key, in advance. And if the machine continues to not have Internet, you'll also have do it again (get a new offline key) whenever you might update. [URL] [U…

Thank you. FYI: Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Path: SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\FreeFileSync Key: InstallDir

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…

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…
