Hello all, I would like to only copie new or changed files from a source folder to a a destination folder. The source folder should remain as it was. The destination folder will be…

I redid the configuration as follows (both the source and the target folders and their paths stay the same as before), and saved it as a batch job: • Source/left side: C:\Users\Use…

In your post, you use the drive letter D for both your USB drives. I will assume the 2nd one is named E:\ instead of D:\. Also note you use forward slashes (/) instead of backslash…

You don't seem to be familiar with how FFS/RTS work at all, I recommend reading the documentation [URL] [URL]

Hello, I am trying use FFS 13.6 on new Raspberry PI5 with OS Bookworm 64-bit with latest version: GCC 14.1.0 G++ 14.1.0 Curl 8.8.0 libssh2 1.11.0 wxWidgets 3.2.5 but it seems runni…

Because you can copy OK in File Explorer to your NAS, it seems you are running a *.ffs_batch sync job launched by the Task Scheduler or by RTS which is in turn launched by the Task…

There are many ways to skin a cat. Act as proposed by xCSxXenon: Use the Update Sync variant instead of the Mirror variant Or: use the [URL] to specify the folders that need to be …

File copy works fine but an error message occurs when copying DACL, SACL, Owner, Group, (SetFileSecurity). The target is a Synology NAS shared folder that I can see I have full acc…

Using the UNC path directly doesn't appear to work (this is what I was trying to do initially). When I attempt to enter "\\mylaptopname\c$", FreeFileSync interprets it as "/config\…

Sorry for late reply. I found the cause of the issue. I had an include filter set. Obviously I did not do that knowingly. It must have been a shortcut I subconsciously executed. Th…

Hi, I run a FreeFileSync-Batchjob with cron and the following command /opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync /home/stefan/FreeFileSync/BatchRun-Downloads.ffs_batch --display=:0.0 on Debian…

Thanks for the Beta. It finally did delete one log file today when I ran a sync. But there are still two logs rather than one. I guess it doesn't matter so long as they're being cu…

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up the automatic launch of backups on my PC using cron on Fedora 39 with FreeFileSync installed via Flathub. [Code] In the logs of my PC at the s…

In your second picture, the Mirror sync has become a Custom sync in which for the Difference Category "Item exists right-side only" the Action is now set to "Do nothing" (as oppose…

Hi xCSxXenon, yes, I'm sure it's not in local, I checked with ls -all command and also each time files are different, they are the file changed in the code folder

Hi therube, thanks for your feedback. I found the reason of my issue : AVAST. Avast has secured several of my files... and that's why it's blocking access to them. By suspending Av…

[Quote] I'll try to explain my problem... I have a server that every day updates a folder with some recordings and with the date marking, for example: "2024-03-21" and I need the 2…

I'm facing this same "problem" with a very similar system... would there be a solution to this problem, or so far nothing?

Thanks for your very quick reply. I should have also mentioned that the <Up> and <Down> arrows no longer scroll through the list of directories at the left of the main screen after…

@palmlart If the warning you get relates to the RecycleBin not being available for your SD card, you can change your [URL] setting from RecycleBin to Permanent for that sync.

Copying symlinks between SFTP wasn't implemented. But now it is: [URL]

When the "display errors" parameter in the execution of a "ffs_batch" is posted. Is there an audible notification when an error is detected?

Also: On which operating system does this happen?

Check your filter settings. Can you try the latest version of FFS?

You are right, Perhaps there isn't a universal solution that suits everyone. How about considering it as a feature that users can choose to enable or disable? After all, other tool…

Funny thing, Windows10pro updated this morning and afterward I ran the 13.6 update without a problem. Perhaps Microsoft disables some copy/move features while downloading files for…

In your local attempt, you apparently sync C:\Users with some other location. Be aware, that users, and (as far as I know) even users with administrator-rights, do by default not h…

"FFS will not go back to what it did earlier." I meant that by stopping and restarting FFS, it stayed at <1 kbps, and not what it originally transfered at 10-50mbps. Saturday morni…

Sometimes problems like this are caused by a change to [URL]. Click the link for more information.

Thanks for the reply. the folders had gotten mixed up in a way so a one way sync or a mirror sync wouldn't have worked. Either would have replaced some of the files I wanted to kee…

[URL] You can also run another comparison to see if there are any differences that matter

Versioning is only for files. Folders are only used to maintain directory structure for versioning. You could look into File History or a scheduled task that copies the saved-game …

I think I understand what the author of this is saying. I recently had a drive start having bad sectors and corruption while it was doing a FFS two-way sync. After that I tried fix…

I only wrote "it is not realistic to assume ...". Nowhere do I write that YOU assume anything, despite your false claim to the contrary. So, I did not misrepresent what you wrote a…
