I have installed freefilesynk via and then the Download "freefilesync" 64-Bit option:
It is a great tool and I think it may even replace the Luckybackup I have installed.
It is asking my to update, but when I try, it just downloads a number of files. Can anyone help me update this app to the latest version freefilesync 7.1?
The newest version, as can be seen on the official site is 7.6. To update you just have to extract the new version over the old directory.
A better way to install and update freefilesync, would be to use the official ppa. This way you always have a version that is compatible with your current Ubuntu version.
https://launchpad.net/~freefilesync/+archive/ubuntu/ffs
The process for installing the ppa is standard and described on the site I linked.
As of November 2015 the ppa is up to date, again.
If you have Ubuntu 14.04 (or earlier) the most easy way is to use the Freefilesync PPA :
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:freefilesync/ffs
sudo apt-get update
With this PPA FreeFileSync will automatically be updated when you run sudo apt-get upgrade (or when starting the Update Manager).
See here : What are PPAs and how do I use them? for more information about PPAs.
