I used FreeFileSync for a few months now and it worked great.
One part of the syncronisation is the local PC working with Windows 10 Pro ,
the other one a distant fileserver is communicating through the SMB protocol.
This was the setting also before the error messages occured.

Now, suddenly, within the same network configuration, with the same files and directories, I get multiple error messages regarding files with the extensions .ffs_db oder .ffs_tmp

What is the cause?
What does it mean to me?
Can/Should I avoid them?

After the syncronisation, I tried another comparison of the two file systems without any error message now.
