I have been using freefilesync for a longtime. However, when I upgraded my Ubuntu recently from 25.1 to 26.04, freefilesync is NOT working.

Solved the issue - my own fault

You see the Error Message says No such file or directory - /run/media/cyrus/backup2/win-documents is the destination directory (in linux folder is called directory). Even though that's the correct destination but I had to use the "Browse" push button to set the final directory - by going to backup2 (the external disk backup) and then win-documents (old windows file copied to the ubuntu linux system). That took care of the problem.
