Hi, FFS gives me an error message (windows error code 5: access is denied)
when trying to copy a few specific files. These files are only present in one
of the two directories being synchronized. I cannot figure out what it is
about these specific files (small gif and jpg images), but I have tried
renaming the files and opening and re-saving them using various applications,
and nothing seems to work. The "read only" box is not checked in file
properties.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Interesting, could you post the full error message? I need to find out at
which step during copying it throws this error. Usually "access denied" is
related to file attributes or to file permissions (starting FFS with admin
rights?). If you could find a way how I can reproduce this problem it would be
great.
