Still a little confused on what it does on a CRC mismatch. No wonder in the past i was missing files and had corruptions.:/ If i only knew of this program 5-10 years ago :'( It wasn't only related to my OCed and tweaked desktop so i know my desktop wasn't s this program. This thing can even freeze my OS on my stock 1650v3 with ECC RAM so it has some issues in regards to how its programmed. I have saved 100s if not 1000s of files now from the couple million of files i have moved around over the last month with trying to encrypt and consolidate files, backups, and recoveries. The program has some stability issues and can glitch out and your trying to figure out what the hell it just did with files that didn't copy right but its really nice though when your transferring 500,000 files and you don't want to loose anything. All Teracopy was ever intended to do was copy a file that you already have to another location of yours, then verify that the copy made is exactly the same as the file you already had.So teracopy is a bit glitchy and unstable when your transferring 100-1000s of GB but i see CRC mismatch a freaking shit ton.
TERACOPY VERIFY ONLY MANUAL
FFS also has a website with a manual and a user forum. There is a bit of a learning curve to using FFS but once over that hump, it works smoothly every time. I pretty much never have one fail to copy over correctly.įFS is also what I use for backing up my data drives. If, for any reason, a file transfer fails, FFS will post a report at the end of the operation listing which files, if any, failed to transfer over correctly.
TERACOPY VERIFY ONLY WINDOWS
I made this "hack" first when using FFS in Windows (pardon my profanity) and I now use it in Linux with the "hack". Change the word "false" to "true", then close the file. After installing FFS, go to your /home screen, show hidden files, the use Search to find globalsettings.xml. There is a simple, unauthorized "hack" one can make to it to verify copies it makes. I use a folder/file Syncing program called FreeFileSync (FFS). It's not intended to ensure the copy you have is exactly the same as the original author had before you acquired it. All Teracopy was ever intended to do was copy a file that you already have to another location of yours, then verify that the copy made is exactly the same as the file you already had. If you like this app then it can be installed with: I then checked the repos and it looks like ultracopier is in the Mint repos.
I checked the website and it listed Ultracopier. It's just a good way of assuring yourself about the integrity of the newly copied or transferred files.Īh, ok TeraCopy is checking for corruption during file transfer. As for as I know, TeraCopy creates the checksums on-the-fly, then copies the files and compares their checksums to the original ones. I am not thinking about downloads, but local file transfers on the computer. There is a big difference between verifying file integrity from the author's hands and verifying that a file isn't a corrupted download. If TeraCopy is producing both checksums (before copy and after copy) then TeraCopy could be producing a checksum of a hacked file and you won't know the file was a hacked copy of the author's file. Is that what TeraCopy does? Or does TeraCopy simply create a checksum before copy and then compare that to another checksum TeraCopy produced from the downloaded file? The difference is that someone can replace the author's file on the server with a hacked copy and the user won't know the difference without the author's checksum. Now, in order for TeraCopy to do what I'm assuming it does, it needs the checksum that the author produced and then match that checksum to the file after you have received it. If the checksum the author has produced does not match the checksum that you have after receiving the file, then the integrity of said file cannot be confirmed.
In order to verify that the file you received is an exact copy of the file as it was when it left the author's hands, both you and the author need a matching checksum.
I'm not sure TeraCopy did what you think it did. Is there any way to make the built-in file transfer utility in Nemo do this? Or would you need a completely different file manager? This feature is something I miss on Linux. It does this by CRC checksumming them on the fly. For Windows, there is this nifty program called TeraCopy, which automatically verifies the integrity of all files that are copied/transferred.
