Screenshot?

See, Log file names without special characters.

FFS will not go back to what it did earlier.

Are you saying older FFS versions did not have the issue?
If you revert & test with older FFS, does speed go back to expected?

Are you testings the same sample data set (even if only a partial thereof) between FFS & Windows Explorer?

Without knowing Linux or specifics thereof, see if perusing these gets you going? And I'll assume that your "terminal" is using a shell other then sh? Likewise, if you ran sh, then (at this point in time) typed in, kompare, you would get the very same "command not found". https:/...

Confirmed. Even if you manually add the . to the directory name, still not recognized. Even a UNC path, \\?\C:\TMP\BRU\dir_dot., which seems like it would work, then fails when it attempts to write the sync.ffs_lock file. Now you could thwart that too, but then I'd suspect when it gets to the actual...

(Both greatly aged, but...) Two observations: "deletion handling" is set to "recycle bin". This means that all files that are deleted and the old version of those files that are *updated* are placed there. So it doesn't suprise to find an oudated version of a document in RecycleB...

It sounds like "RecycleBin~5b04.ffs_tmp" is some kind of machination of your (unnamed) "Recovery tool".

So what is this tool?

Depending on your situation, the Filtering, Include/Exclude settings might help?

RecycleBin_tmp

a directory named: RecycleBin~5b04.ffs_tmp, with all the directory structure

this RecycleBin---tmp folder

None of that sounds like a Windows $Recycle.Bin (at least through Win7).

So is this "RecycleBin" on a local Windows volume, or ... ?

If no checking needs to be done on the remote end, why not upload to an empty temporary directory on the remote? There will be nothing to check against, so no scanning to be done (on the remote). Now, you'd have to know what on the source end has changed, & only upload those. After the files are...

(Your email is in the video, if that matters to you.)

Shouldn't ? the RTS be running a BatchDriveFtp.ffs_real rather then _batch?

I don't know OC, but it would seem to be something like OC.exe %item_path% or OC.exe -path %item_path% or the like https://www.onecommander.com/help/3._Full_reference_guide/Starting_from_Command_line.html I'd set up a hotkey solution, first, & once that is working, go about mirroring that to the...

So you're wanting FFS to run off of the QNAP (NAS ?) itself, rather then off a local computer (that is connected to the NAS)?

@Malcorvus, if you manually copy (via Windows Explorer) a local file to OneDrive (via RaiDrive), what date/time does OneDrive get?

for what?

That's going to be, as the actual sync is ongoing,
"When finished:" [Exit|Sleep|Shutdown][or do nothing at all].

Looks to work - Win7. C:\TMP\BRU\dir_holding_a_symlink>mklink /d spacedout-symLINK C:\TMP\BRU\spacedout symbolic link created for spacedout-symLINK <<===>> C:\TMP\BRU\spacedout C:\TMP\BRU\dir_holding_a_symlink>dir Directory of C:\TMP\BRU\dir_holding_a_symlink 03/20/2024 11:22 AM <DIR> dir1 03/20/202...

Test. Create a directory named, TEST, copy that .cfm file & some others where the hidden attribute was set (on the SFTP end), & do an Update sync to a new directory (also called, TEST should work) on the SFTP sever. Query the SFTP end. Do the files show up with the hidden attribute set? And ...

can't think of any common reason that some data may not show up when it wasn't deleted somehow

Ransomware.
(Beside physically changing file contents), often will rename the file *.encrypt.

As the (shown) files are tiny, & if that holds for the entire compare (all files being relatively small), why not change to a Content compare (which on small files should still be speedy).

but I only need the graphical interface of FreeFileSync to open and that's it

Explain why you're wanting the GUI to open?
As in, are you wanting it to open - in relation to RTS?

RTS itself shouldn't need the GUI (to be visible).

Large sized files? In the TB sized large? Recall something about copying first (to a temporary file), then removing the original target & replacing with the copied temp file. So in that respect, large sized files on a target that is limited in free disk space could run into issues. (That method ...

I would think it not to be expected that a file backup program would back up an entire OS, & in particular the OS system files themselves, & certainly not in any bootable fashion (such that you can restore to some saved OS state), if that is your intention.

While you may have same named files, what about time & size (your comparison method)? You can see time in W/E, but not in FFS. You can see size in FFS, but not in W/E (at least not to the byte level). Might something have changed the dates of particular files &/or might the file sizes have c...

Still not what you're wanting then, i.e., directly from within the GUI, but if you still start from a batch file, & you can do the BEFORE before, & then you can pass the wanted .ffs_gui / .ffs_batch name to FFS (so that at least gets your BEFORE & sync order are in the order you want, in...

Which cloud?

Oh, so you're saying that when (alpha) SORTING the list of names leading/trailing spaces are ignored,
such that all the X-files are grouped together, & all the S-files are grouped together.

Ah, OK.

I'm misunderstanding, missing the distinction. Explain? . 1. files with leading spaces, trailing spaces, & both leading & trailing spaces. - the $ sign is the EOL marker, "showing" that the X-files do indeed have trailing spaces 2. 13.3 3. 13.4 - note that i am also displaying = fi...

BEFORE.bat:

It says "nothing to synchronize"

Then it would appear that is the case.

Explain your sync settings & what you are doing.

when I sync files (like my movie collection), the TARGET gets today's date for "date modified." And you're doing this sync with FFS, & you stated that this is between internal drives. That's odd. I take it they are both NTFS formatted? I might try to test it again, using standard Wind...
