FreeFileSync Forum

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm almost certain that I have never knowingly saved configs to documents' I don't recall ever seeing them anywhere except in the UI. Obviously I reali…

Not preferred, but you can prevent the use of *.ffs_lock files by setting the [URL] in your GolbalSettings.xml file to false. Make sure to read the risk/disadvantage of setting tha…

Thanks for your help! I'm not sure what went wrong but it seems to be working correctly now.

[Quote] That is not what was happening. It was 2 files with exact same name in same "folder" it would break sync if this condition happened. It happened because more than one pc wo…

This is unrelated to FFS

With [URL] (1.5 Alpha), you can do something like: ?:/LIB/ distinct: file: Which would search for distinct file names within a [drive]:/LIB/ directory tree. Like I have C:/LIB/ & K…

Just a note, when a RTS configuration is launched, it runs an initial sync automatically. I don't if that is documented, but every time I have ever started an RTS session, it runs …

Got it, thanks! And for any future readers: Use Mouse/hover and delete key. You just move the mouse over the directly selection and then tap the delete key. Item should disappear, …

Hmmm... I see. Ok, thanks!

Yes @therube, that seems like an excellent solution. As I am relatively new to FFS, do you believe there are good chances that this will be implemented fairly soon? What is the pro…

> ... synchronization will occur after I have modified the file and during my idle time No! Whenever you modify a file in a RTS monitored folder (or any of its subfolder), the idle…

If you checkmark "Use database file to detect changes" in your Synchronization Settings (F8), will detect a rename of a file (or a move within a base location), during any consecut…

Too bad! I wanted to give you a large sum of money as a thank you for your work. But if your site says no, then no. Goodbye.

[Quote] Yep! I've seen that before. I've had people using two or more external HDDs on a non-powered USB hub with a mouse, and then the mouse gets laggy when transferring files LOL

My apologies. I installed FreeFileSync then configured norton online backup at the same time. I didn't notice the indicators change when norton was installed. So I mistakenly thoug…

Apparently you are now installing the FFS Donation edition on your test machines. Instead of installing your Donation edition, you could simply install the Free edition on your tes…

Hello ;-) I am a new user and got the issue while syncing TWO folders - only while having OPENED files in them - As I could not ad a screenshot here: Some files were part of multip…

[Quote] Yeah. Makes no sense. And you have to tweak a sensitive registry value to get around it.

The problem lies with WebDAV itself. It allows max file size of only 50mb by default. It needs some registry editing to solve the problem: [URL]

Following a quick 'google' it appears that there is no reliable way of doing this with the schedular, though one option is to trigger on event1074. But, how long the task will run …

gave access to [URL] .. works fine for now..

[Quote] Thanks! I'll find a workaround for now. Nevertheless another vote from my side for any option somewhere for deleting files that are not in the scope with the mirror method.

@xCSxXenon: Understood. Thanks for the info!

Hi, I'm trying to get the donation edition to work on NixOS but after hours of searching I've gotten nowhere. Any suggestions?

[Quote] Let me clarify this, because I think this is a nice feature that nobody really knows about: The custom commands of the FFS context menu are directly evaluated by cmd.exe ju…

Also, just get bigger drives. This allows you to eliminate this problem entirely by keeping all data on the C: drive AND, which keeps the data safer by having another full copy. I …

Thank you Zenju. That's what I was looking for!

SORRY, I probably made a stupid mistake. Although the SDHC card was still empty at the beginning, so 42 files should have been displayed in each case - maybe it was a contact error…

Ok, thanks a lot. I didn't know that. I think that will solve the problem.

After comparison, you can double-click on any file to open it in a file browser. For Google Drive files, it will show them directly in the browser.

Perfect. Thank you for the thorough testing, including the negative test with the old FFS version. The fix will be included in the next release.

[Quote] DIR > CON.ididntknowthat Neat. Thanks :-).

[Quote] The ellipsis character was my way of indicating that the full path/file name was truncated - it was not actually in the name. The names were regular folder names - for exam…

I have the same problem. You create a file locally, sync it to the NAS and the next time you sync, the file should be synced back to the client. The NAS knows a change date and a c…

Hi to all, Thank you all for the answers! I solved the issue disabiling the index db.. now it is very fast!

[Quote] There is no limit. That's only a display glitch. If you slightly resize the window manually, you'll see the scrollbar appearing. Fixed for the next release.

*.ffs_real is in C:\my scripts and C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync. It's a *.ffs_batch in image 3. The home page manual and the RTS window say to import a batch file…

As far as the (dated) link, seems the naming (syntax) of the commands has changed. [URL] [URL] If you're looking to select a set of files in DC, & send only those files somewhere t…

I would like to add my voice to this request. After running snapraid I noticed a number of files with temp attribute set, same with system attribute set. I changed them with nirsof…

Three years later, this still happens. [URL] It was working fine for months, and then BAM! No responses to request for assistance with this. Very disappointing.

Hi Plerry, Thank you. But I do not understand a word you wrote.

Hello, Despite the RAM increase, the application keeps crashing, with empty dumps on the desktop and sometimes with the error message: a device attached to the system is not workin…

So after some googling and browsing through various related topics on a couple of linux forums, StackOverflow, etc, it seems that on linux this is something the developer will have…

Thank you. So far so good. I will have to wait for it to finish to see if it is OK. Now I can start another thread on my next problem

I restarted the android app that acts as a ssh server as well as freefilesync. After this, performance of freefilesync became equivalent to scp.

We were all newbies at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least you were clear, concise, and receptive! Glad it's working for you!

You shouldn't be using Task Scheduler AND RealTimeSync together. [Quote] This doesn't make any sense. If you are using Task Scheduler, anything related to RTS will not have any eff…

Sorry, I am only using this fantastic product since over 10 years and also supported it with donations regulary. It is the first time that I used this filter function. I can't be a…

My nslookup and ping are also working fine. This is something on the OP's computer/network causing an issue
