(I don't know, but being that both source & destination are NTFS, being that NTFS is (typically) case insensitive, you would think that FTP would work in that manner also. Or that at least FFS could check sensitivity of source/destination & then have FTP work in acceptable manner. [Non-Windo...

In your case, you may want to change it again, something like, ('dir /b k:\nis*.html'') (As it is, for you, it is finding "NIS-BKP 2", which would be the wrong file [directory].) When correct it should presumably display *194512*.html. (Heh. But then, notepad won't help too much with .html...

(I made some slight changes to PostLog.bat, above.)

(For Windows.) Try this, adjusting as needed. PostLog.bat: for /f "delims=|" %%i in ('dir /b C:\LOGS\FFS_LOGS\') do set LASTLOG=%%~fi echo The last log is: %LASTLOG% pause notepad.exe "%LASTLOG%" Set your directory to wherever you have your FFS logs directory set to. LASTLOG will...

(I'm not thinking right but) something like... I'm on Windows, & when I said "like", I meant like ;-). As in what I wrote was a mixture of DOS & Unix commands (& syntax's). So the PostLog.bat that you came up with actually does work? And just what command line are you using in...

When you're saying "batch files", you're meaning a FFS .ffs_batch (rather then some arbitrary .bat or .cmd)?

What would have happened if you clicked, Ignore, as in, would it have, & the install continued?

If you use a UNC path (instead of mapped drive letter) for the regular user, does that work?

A more complete explanation of your issues would be nice.

Anyhow, https://freefilesync.org/archive.php.

Create a couple batch files that run SHUTDOWN.EXE (with appropriate parameters) ? Call one, Sleep.bat. The other, Shut down.bat. (I'm not sure if Shutdown offers a sleep option?) Oh, you're wanting, Show Log. (I'm not thinking right but) something like... showlog.bat: cat `dir /od- /b [path-to-log-d...

(Aside from the 0x52 error issue itself, you might want to exclude the /cache2/ directory - as it is only [browser/mail] cache files [& not likely to be of much value].)

(If I'm reading correctly, he wants directories displayed before files. And by add a space to the beginning of the directory name, he accomplishes that - where otherwise directory & files would be intermingled. [And one would have to assume that he does not have files starting with a space.]) (T...

Just set up multiple folder pairs.

Rebooted. No Change. --- Alright, humor me this. My _real read: "C:\DEV\BACKUP\FreeFileSync_XP\FreeFileSync.exe" "C:\DEV\BACKUP\FFS_PROFILES\JCS.2.NAS_DB_BU.ffs_batch" And I think, FreeFileSync.exe ? And so I run that directly from a C: prompt. And I see (2) FreeFileSync*.exe fir...

[RTS] has stopped, syncing How to troubleshoot? XP, FFS 10.11 Syncing from PC to local NAS. Thought I had a good feel for what was going on, & things were going on just fine. And then I stepped away a bit. Came to realize that my last sync was 7-8-20 (per the latest .log file). Checked & saw...

Everything is great (well, at everything).
And can quickly point you to >260.

Search for: Might help point something out.

What are your Sync settings pertaining to Delete files: ?

If you have it set to Recycle bin, is there any change if you set it to Permanent or Versioning?
(Test with test data.)

So are you using RealTimeSync.exe ?
If so, what is the command line (or otherwise) that you are using for it?

Or are you simply clicking (or similar) xxx.ffs_batch?

And you're saying that if you run, xxx.ffs_batch, on completion, the file xxx.ffs_batch no longer exists?

What Sync settings are you using?

(Presumably, if the file is password protected, Google wouldn't be able to identify "malware" ...)

No clue, but if you set Exclude Filters of: does that make any difference?

@LutzH, isn't that going to be dependent on your Cloud?
Who is your Cloud. (Heh, Dropbox.)

Normally, FFS will maintain the date of files synced (locally).


[Dropbox] FAQs about modified dates for files and folders

Effectively, there is no possibility for FFS (or any other application) to force the just written file to be read from the device (here: disk or SSD). Why? (And not like I know one way or the other, but... How to flush the disk read cache under Windows? How can I invalidate the file system cache? M...

(Not knowing anything of Mac...)

Wouldn't it be (virtually) the same? Adjusting the paths, names, as needed?

(Or maybe when it is a "Nothing to synchronize" condition, create the time stamped log file, as is currently done, only set it to 0 bytes, solely as an indicator that things happened, but there was nothing to do. Or an option to not create, or create as 0 bytes. [And I guess, current behav...

(A little bit on Case Sensitive.)

For reference, DrivePool.
