I am unable to sync with RealTimeSync in linux mint. I have followed the same step that i used in my windows computer, where it is working fine.
In linux I select the batch file BatchRun at location /home/user/FreeSync. Under the window of command I get "/usr/FreeFileSync /home/arvind/FileSync/BatchRun.ffs_batch" .
After running I get error,
Command "/usr/FreeFileSync /home/arvind/FileSync/BatchRun.ffs_batch" failed.
/bin/sh: 1: /usr/FreeFileSync: not found
RealTimeSync does not work in linux mint 22.1

It seems pretty obvious to me that "/usr/FreeFileSync" is not the path to the binary. So this should be easy to fix, but finding where the program is sitting. You need to find the full path to the binary. If running it without any path works, e.g., "FreeFileSync" just runs the program, then you can run "command -v FreeFileSync" and it will show you the full path (based on the $PATH environment variable) to FreeFileSync.
Most likely it's "/opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync" or "/usr/bin/FreeFileSync"

You are right, the program was on the path /usr/bin/FreeFileSync.
Typing "which FreeFileSync" in the terminal gave me the path. Under the command line window in Real Time Sync I added /bin in the correct place and it worked. Thanks. Hope this bug will be taken care in future.
