Error: Cannot open file "\\ZEUS\Communal\Automatic Replication\sync.ffs_db".Įrror Code 5: Access is denied. Error: Synchronisation completed with errorsĪ little while later, I received the following after renaming a file on the Server: "\\ZEUS\Communal\Automatic Replication\sync.ffs_db".Įrror Code 183: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. "\\ZEUS\Communal\Automatic Replication\_tmp" to |19-Jan-18 - Photography - Automatic - Communal: Synchronisation completed with errors

The following error log appears on one of the laptops: At approximately 30 minute intervals this process repeats itself Watching the shared folder on the NAS, I see two other FFS files appear and disappear - the lock file and a temp temporary sync file The shared folder on the server has a file, sync.ffs_db that has a timestamp the same as the third log file The first says that there is nothing to synchronise I see three new FFS log files, each one minute apart For the record, this is an example where it sort of works: it has deleted the file everywhere, but cannot seem to clean up and finish. Note: the last action I performed was to delete a file from the local copy of the shared folder on one of the laptops. To prepare for this posting, I rebooted all five machines, after which I noticed the following. I will try and keep it simple because I have just managed to experience a reasonable well-encapsulated version of the above, and a good enough starting point for reporting some of the aspects of this "bug". It works and then undoes what it has doneĪt this stage, I will not give details about what I mean by the above results. Each has RTS running and which compares the local (C:) version of the folder with the server equivalent and invokes the aforementioned FFS job should a change occur.

Each laptop has, as far as I can tell, pretty much the same configuration: a FFS job performing a two-way synchronisation with the folder on the server and a local copy thereof the FFS job log is saved locally.
Freefilesync error 183 windows 10#
If that were the problem it might be fixed in FreeFileSync by using a "normal" delete operation at which should delete photo.jpg if the deletion of Photo.JPG was requested.I have a NAS (FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1)) called Zeus that I use as the central location for a folder synchronised across 4 Windows 10 laptops. will fail because the rename can't overwrite photo.jpg (which is the same file as Photo.JPG on will not delete the existing Photo.JPG because it deletes only files called photo.jpg
Freefilesync error 183 update#
So when we update the content of Photo.JPG and simultaneously change its name to photo.jpg it will be sync'ed. Stage would normally remove this file but I imagine is deleting only files with exactly the spelling Name.Ext. I think this error occurs in because there is already a file called "Name.Ext" with a different capitalization which causes the rename to fail. perhaps called "Name.Ext") is divided into these stages: I have had the same issue and I hypothesize that it is an error in FreeFileSync that occurs when a file has been changed both in content and in terms of the case of letters in its file name (which can only occur on file systems that do not ignore the difference in case, e.g. In Jim's case, there may be the following folders or files in "\\office\Users\James\Documents\".Īssumption 1: "My Documents.ffs_gui" and "my documents.ffs_gui".Īssumption 2: "My Documents" and "My Documents.ffs_gui" I think there is a folder or file with the same name in the source folder. I had the same event and just resolved it.
