Hi all, I created a symlink folder in windows10 throught command line "mklink". Then I set FFS comparison option "Include symbolic link" on "Direct", because I don't want to copy again the content of that folder, but just the symbolic link object as in the source. But when trying the synchronisation on my usb stick an error occurs: ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION, unable to create the link. Why? And how to fix that?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps this:
From the Manual page on Comparison settings:
Copying symbolic links requires FreeFileSync to be started with administrator rights.

Hello,
no, I already executed as administrator.
