So my question is, why can't freefilesync and how could I solve the particular problem? Please note that this problem is not related to the TLS encryption as it also arises when I do not use https (when I am at office).Īlso note that I am able to create files in the mounted directory from the terminal or even nautilus. However, when trying to sync this folder using freefilesync I get the following error: Cannot set directory lock for "/path/to/mountpoint".Ĭannot write file "/path/to/mountpoint/sync.ffs_lock". For mounting this directory I use the following command: sudo mount -t davfs -o uid=bruni,gid=users /home/bruni/mountpoint I hope I have described a clear procedure.I have mounted a webdav folder using webdav as described here. (7) re-start compare and it now it works without errors. (6) in the file explorer that is still open on laptop "Xiaomi" browse to Documents folder by opening network location "Home" on the other computer
and start compare - get error message that network location is not available or cannot log in or cannot read file attributes (not always the same) On left hand side is "Home" desktop network path in UNC format (\\home\d\Alex\Documents), on right hand side is path on "Xiaomi" laptop (D\Alex\Documents). (3) start FreeFileSync with administrator rights on "Xiaomi" laptop. (2) open file explorer on each computer and check that the computer names "Xiaomi" and "Home" are visible in network connections without actually browsing or clicking anything. on both computers are mapped to a second drive path: D\Alex\Īfter a few days of work it is decided to synchronize Document files on the "Home" desktop and the "Xiaomi" laptop. System folders for Documents, Downloads, Music, Photos etc.
Both computers running Win 10 latest builds, all drives and sub-folders on both computers are shared by "everyone" and "authenticated users" (overkill?)
