Re: FFS Error When Cloned
I believe it is comparing the contents of a license file to a database, and even though it is free, it is seeing the license tied to a different hardware ID. You may just have to fresh install on each.

Can you manually go into that folder and confirm whether that file exists or not?

Re: Synchronize (Update) file into server via ftp
That looks like it is trying to copy a file into a zipped folder, which is odd because zipped folders are typically treated as a single file, not a folder. Try deleting the zip from the destination and manually copying it from source to destination.

Re: Sync file once
No, that is no longer a sync. You could manually exclude, but that sounds inconvenient in your situation. You could just delete them from the phone after sync, so it only copies new files and leaves everything on the right untouched.

Re: Req. Delete empty folder when source folder is FTP
The sync order of operations seems to be ordered the same as the preview window, in my experience. I usually only see the current folder get created, then the files in that folder, and then the next.

Re: Filter: Include/exclude files by creation date
Markusoft, you are talking about a form of wildcard. The problem is, the wildcard needs to get it's info from somewhere. To do what you are wanting would require, essentially, an environmental variable that can be passed through the filter so the dates can be parsed from each file.

Re: REQUEST: ability to RENAME
The program is specifically created for backup/sync. It does not support more features than it is designed to do. What you want is completely separate from the function of FFS. You can right-click > show in explorer > then rename from there.

Both of your posts are filled with grammar mistakes that make it difficult to interpret your issues.

Re: Sync Date and Time of source to destination only
File date/timestamps should be preserved under the right conditions. Folder date/timestamps can't though, due to the way Windows creates directories.

I would disagree with that. The goal of the program is to sync a source and destination, not deduplication. There are many tools with pre-tested algorithms for that

Re: Cannot write sync.ffs_lock file error
Admin permissions doesn't necessarily give you permissions to do anything anywhere. You either need to give yourself full control on the directory, or uncheck the option in FFS that locks a directory during sync

You cannot do what you are trying to do.

This is not a problem or feature missing from RTS, it is a fe...

Re: Overlooked bug – sync order
The major issue is your spotty connection, not the program.
What stops you from starting the sync again? It should restart where it left off.
You could also temporarily exclude all but the newest 20% of files and sync them in smaller batches.

Use RTS. It will monitor the two directories. Once you plug it in, it will see the directory, then trigger a sync after the idle delay time you set in RTS.

I'm guessing that is caused by the method that Windows is shutting down. It looks like either the display driver is unloaded, or dwm.exe(desktopwindowmanager) is partially shut down. You may create a batch script that contains two lines. The first that runs the sync and then "shutdown -s -t -0&...

Re: Mirror Sync and Folders not Being Deleted on the Right Side - Don't understand what is happening
When you set those exclusions, that stops it from moving, copying, and deleting those exclusion. FFS didn't even attempt to detect any differences for those three directories, it just lets them be. It didn't detect that it should delete them on the destination because you explicitly told it not to e...

Arthur, monitoring a directory via a SYMLINK is not supported by Windows. It has nothing to do with FFS or RTS. RTS change detection =/= FFS difference detection. The problem here lies in what triggers the sync. FFS uses user interaction to trigger it, where RTS monitors changes to trigger a sync. s...
