EACCES: Permission denied (UPDATED)

[BQuirky]

I just installed 11.22 and suddenly I'm getting the above error when I try to do a sync. I don't see anything in the forum here that affects that, and everything I see in web searches seems to be based on npm. This is macOS Monterey (12.4).

UPDATE: I just went into FreeFileSync.app in the Terminal and ran

sudo ./Contents/MacOS/FreeFileSync

and it worked fine. I'm sure that tells us something important, probably about permissions somewhere, but I don't know what that something is.

I am on LinuxMint I too was getting this error and this worked for me:
Try this, fixed it for me

sudo chown -R username path

Example:

sudo chown -R emanuel /home/emanuel/test/

When are you getting this error? When you open FFS? When you start a comparison? When you start a sync? Only on a subset of data in a specific location?

Hi @xCSxXenon, I was getting the error when trying to do a comparison/sync.
I have an external ntfs drive with all my data, that I was trying to move to my mdadm raid 6 ext4 box when I was getting the error. After I did the above sudo commands I was then able to use FFS to transfer the data as intended without the error.

Mac OS doesn't support NTFS volumes natively, are you sure it is NTFS?

Oh, I wasn't responding to you at all then. I was responding to the OP
