Problem sync with tablets

Posts: 3 · Giocanosa 21 Mar 2025, 17:42

Hello,

I have two tablets of different brands but they present the same error with FreeFileSync. When I synch files, I have to repeatedly press the R key (to retry copy) because it repeatedly gives me the "ERROR_BUSY" write error. When I copy files directly with windows this error doesn't appear. I look forward to every anwer you give me. Thanks

Hi,

What connectivity solution are you using between your computer and the tablets which I'm guessing are Android tablets?

For Android tablets and free file sync I use a free SSH server in the Google Play app store and use the SFTP protocol to synchronize files every day to back up my cell phone and tablet and it works very reliably.

Both tablets are android. I'm using a simple usb c to "normal" usb to connect to the pc. Changing cable doesn't make the error disappear. If I remember good, this error appeared after some Windows 11 upgrades, but I'm not really sure about that

Here is the link to the SSH SFTP server software that I use on my Android tablets and phone.

Try using sftp vs cable and you may get better. Results.
