Invalid Modification Time Error

Posts: 3 · deckie49 18 Mar 2021, 18:56

Good morning,
I an running FreeFastSync 11.8 Donation Version on Win 7.
I am trying to set up a one way sync from the data drive on my laptop to Google Drive.
There are two files which give me the error:
Invalid modification time (time_t: -11644444800)

All other files seem to transfer fine.
I am rather lost as how to problem solve this. Can someone offer some advice?
Thank you in advance.

Anything odd with the dates of those two particular files?
What are the dates of those two files?

Sorry for the delay. I had responded via email instead of the forum.
Yes, I dod notice an odd date. The date was 1/1/1601.

1/1/1601 is a "special" date.
Change it to something, er, more recent ;-) & I'm thinking you should be good.

(1/1/4501, among others, is another "special" date.)

For reference: time_t(-11644444800) = "1601-01-01 8:00:00 GMT" = FILETIME(288000000000)
