![]() ![]() Users can set up mirror, two-way, or custom synchronization rules, and then create batch jobs that run the sync without requiring manual interaction. This further enhances FreeFileSync's capabilities to not only work with local drives and network shares but also synchronize mobile and cloud storage.įreeFileSync eliminates the tedious and error-prone task of manually identifying files that have changed on the source folder and copying them to the target folder, no matter what protocol is used to access files. The new version supports synchronization via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and the encrypted variant FTPS (SSL/TLS). A huge thanks to everyone who is contributing to make this possible!Ĭross-Platform File and Folder Synchronization Software adds Support for FTP and FTPSįreeFileSync ( ) has released version 9.1 of its free open source file synchronization utility for Windows, Linux, and macOS. ![]() Beginning with version 10, the project is fully relying on donations from users to finance its ongoing expenses in software development and support. Binary-comparison also processes all files in parallel.īefore version 10, FreeFileSync had shown a single advertisement during installation to help fund the project. Folder comparison will issue multiple requests at a time even when traversing only a single folder, by dynamically managing the workload while recursively reading the folder tree. The new parallel file operations architecture is not limited to the synchronization step, but used throughout the application. The idle time after issuing each file I/O request while waiting for the network response is not the limiting factor anymore: The number of parallel operations can be set as high as needed until the bandwidth is saturated and the network card is operating at full speed. This new design offers huge performance improvements for all scenarios that are dominated by latency, like synchronization against network shares or cloud devices including SFTP and FTP(S). During synchronization FreeFileSync will then spawn several tasks accordingly instead of processing only one file after another. It is now possible to specify the number of parallel file operations for each device inside the settings. ![]() JohnTHaller wrote:I'd love to have a working FreeFileSync that is both (1) launchable from other processes like our platform and (2) properly portable so all our cloud users can use it.FreeFileSync version 10 has added support for copying Unfortunately, we had exceedingly bad luck with the last project we forked to ensure our users could continue using it easily when the developer went a bit crazy on us.įrom what I understand, forking is a dramatic step that should generally be considered a last resort (".

Additionally, open code is supposed to be about community so you can't just set aside the developer's feelings. Still, there's a big bone in my body that feels forking is very defensible, especially after the clear success of LibreOffice over OpenOffice. We'd prefer to never do a fork and have submitted changes upstream where we can.įurthermore, every Github page has a "fork" button at the top of the screen so I'm mystified when someone panics on this topic. ![]()
