FreeFileSync

install

niet in synaptic , install the old way :
- dl Freefilesync tar.gz
- in Download folder, extract the FreeFileSync_*.tar.gz folder
- move the extracted folder into the /opt directory :

cd Downloads/
sudo tar xvf FreeFileSync_*.tar.gz -C /opt/
cd /opt/
ls
sudo unzip FreeFileSync/Resources.zip -d
/opt/FreeFileSync/Resources/

next, create a launcher (f.i. using menulibre)
command : /opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync

upgrade

dl the new version
- old way : extract it over the existing version , it will not erase settings since these are stored in home
- new way : a run script (connecting to internet ?)

automating

scripting is done with gui scripts, but als possible :
freefilesync command line execution : with .fss_batch files
both types of sripts stored in /SYS/scripts/

nadeel , je moet de folder meteen goed hebben (gebruik ssh of filezilla hiervoor) , je kan niet browsen op de rmote met FFS
use max parrallel connections if possible (server limiet can be queried over 22)
use parrallelism (only with the donation edition)
