Total Commander can do this - and soooo many other things (OOTB and through plugins) https://www.ghisler.com/index.htm
Can’t live without it on any Windows machine and still miss it on my macs.
See all features here: https://www.ghisler.com/featurel.htm

And then there was Total Commander (once called Windows Commander) which was a godsend for those of us who lived through Norton Commander but had switched to Windows...
Get faster cards and a faster card reader.
> I have to wait and leave my computer on until the files are moved.
Are we talking a few minutes, an hour? How many files? What file size? What card size?
I use 16GB CF cards, and usually have 15MB files. Even if I have a full card, a USB 3 reader only takes a few minutes.
Also, check out UltraCopier.

Copying files in windows explorer has always been painful when shit goes wrong, so here's a better alternative. Has some useful extra features like verifying files and copying/moving files straight from the context menu but more importantly (for me at least) is being more reliable in general like proper support for pausing/resuming transfers.
This was the route I took about 10 years ago, and I haven't looked back even once. There's a fairly steep learning curve, but it's helped by a large and experienced community. Tabs are about 0.05% what you gain over the standard Windows (10) File Explorer, but they are great. https://www.ghisler.com/
howdy decepere,
i presume this is the one you are talking about. [grin] i remember playing with it - and it was pretty nice! also, it seems to be still getting developer attention.

Are you sure you're router/modem didn't assign a new IP address to your fire TV? If I was you I'd check in the fire TV settings and see what the IP is. If that's not the problem Silk browser was released for gen3 want it? Just use it and download the apks. If you don't fancy that you could grab mixplorer for Android and start the ftp server built-in to it, and then grab Total Commander for fire TV, then use silk to grab the ftp plugin and install it, after that go into Total Commander and add a new server. Just don't forget to set password and login for ftp mixplorer server.
Check out robocopy, do an initial copy, then set it up to auto run every X min. It works both locally and across the local network.
Make sure to read all of the options, it's very powerful, but will take some twerking to work just right.
But it doesn't always—I've been burned.
I use something called TeraCopy, on Windows, which replaces Windows' built-in copy/move dialog, and (among other things) re-reads everything afterwards to confirm that there were no write errors. Could never go back to just "crossing my fingers".
What are you asking here?
A file-manager that can do network-paths, with bookmarks of sorts?
Have a look at Total Commander ( https://www.ghisler.com/ )
Its been my go-to-tool for rapid file-management (and much more)
I've been using Total Commander ever since I've been using computers. Commander-like file explorers will always be your best choice. I personally couldn't use the default Explorer for anything other than mundane.
I haven't actually used a synology, but if you can map a drive to it from Windows, then you can use "standard" file copy tools. This will help with the restarting.
I have used this with excellent results. It can skip files that it has already copied, and if it runs into a bad sector on the drive, it will retry a configurable amount of times.
I recommend doing several passes. The first time, set it to a low time out and 0 retries. This will copy over as much healthy data as possible. This way, if the drive dies, at least you have something. Then for the second pass, set it to skip existing files, and then increase retries to 3. This should get a bunch more files. Then do a third pass with a much longer time out and a a few more retries.
I also recommend unplugging your drive for a few hours after each pass. It will get very hot, and I found this to make it more prone to disconnect or time out. Letting it cool down seemed to help. You might also try /u/GldRush98's fridge/freezer suggestion. I haven't done that before, but I have know many people swear by it...
One thing you may want to do, after you do the initial pass to copy the easy data, let Windows run a disk check and try to repair the drive. Depending on why it is actually crashing, this could reduce the frequency of that. Instructions here. This will take a long time (possibly a few days) depending on the health of the drive and the size. Then resume the copy jobs to retrieve the rest of the data.
I'd really recommend TeraCopy. It's a file copy manager. It's great for copying large numbers of files because it keeps track of each one and doesn't cancel all of the copies just because one failed or already existed. After the copy is done, you can easily see which files (if any) failed and redo them with a single button press. It can also verify the copied files to make sure no errors were introduced in the process (rare, I know, but still nice).
The paid version has some additional features but the free one is plenty useful on it's own.
Official Site: https://codesector.com/teracopy
Use Teracopy for the file transfer. When asked whether you want to overwrite, Rename or Skip, select 'Skip All".
This will not copy the files already copied once again, neither will it try to duplicate them.
Viser indhold af to kataloger samtidigt da man jo tit kopier/flytter filer (src/dst). Det har katalog-historik og bookmarks, god søgefunktion og alle mulige andre gode ting. Jeg har brugt det i mindst 10 år.
Det er gratis at prøve (shareware)
This is also an option in the file manager program Total Commander. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I've just been using the program for over 20 years and never shy about suggesting it to people. If the main program can't do it, there's probably a plugin that will add the ability.
Of course the files may be damaged in some way but try a different program and see if it has the same issue with the same files. Fastcopy and Unstoppable Copier are two good alternatives.
the good old SFTP-Plugin...
it can be interesting for you too: A new version of the plugin has been released: File system extensions (plugins)
New in 2.90: Keep old target file (which would be overwritten) when download fails at the start
I would not suggest using Windows copy/paste, that routine is brain dead. If it comes across an error it just stops, giving no indication of what was copied and what wasn't. Instead there are several utilities that are better, including Unstoppable Copier and Fastcopy. If these come across a file they can't copy they just move on to the next one and you'll be able to see which ones had issues.
Read the docs for xcopy, and use the appropriate flags for noninteractive copying?
> You can suppress this message by using the /i command-line option, which causes xcopy to assume that the destination is a directory if the source is more than one file or a directory.
> /y Suppresses prompting to confirm that you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
Here is a full example that might help: On the D drive I have a folder at the root called "Italy". Under that root folder are a 3 jpg files and a sub-directory called sub. In the sub directory there are 3 files
D:\italy\
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
D:\italy\sub\
4.jpg
5.jpg
6.jpg
​
If I create a C:\testitaly directory using the command:
mkdir C:\testitaly
Then if I run:
xcopy D:\italy C:\testitaly /C /E
I get:
D:\italy\1.jpg
D:\italy\2.jpg
D:\italy\3.jpg
D:\italy\sub\4.jpg
D:\italy\sub\5.jpg
D:\italy\sub\6.jpg
6 File(s) copied
You can read what the C and E options means here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
You must try Copywhiz - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
It does exactly this. Scheduling too in the latest version. And next week it will be on BitsDuJour at 40% off.
I have developed this software.
http://www.adriancourreges.com/projects/minicopier/
There's a failed items tab you can check to see which files failed to transfer.
Just drag the folders you want to transfer to the red basket and drag an empty folder from the destination u want to the green arrow/box.
OK. Your D drive definitely seems to be failing. Use Roadkil's unstoppable copier to transfer the files to the SSD. It may take a looong time as there may be bad sectors on the HDD. Be prepared to lose some files though as they may be unrecoverable if the sectors on which they reside are badly damaged.
And do not use the HDD until the copy is complete as you may cause more damage to it making more files unrecoverable
I have rarely had any success in reading from damaged disks in the past. However, you may want to give these two apps a shot. Hopefully they will work for you.
The file is probably corrupt, although the codec can work through corrupt parts and carry on, windows file copy sees and raises an error... You could try another tool to force the copy of the corrupt file:
Found this on google ....
Supercopier is on every computer in my computer repair shop - much better than the default file transfer (except Win 8's), and better than teracopy, IMO.
Then you'll probably have to manage things yourself. Either plan ahead and set up sequential cp or rsync commands in the Terminal or wait for each copy to complete.
UltraCopier is open source, but I have no idea how functional it is.
Teracopy (free) does a great job, the paid version allows for manipulating the copy queue.
Ultracopier might be worth a look, it's similar, fully free, and allows queue manipulation.
Are you trying to transfer large files? USB pendrive transfers do slow down sometimes when large files are being transferred. Also, try using Teracopy for copying instead of windows default.
From the TeraCopy program page: "TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce the seek times. Asynchronous copying speeds up the file transfer between two physical hard drives." I have personal experience with Teraopy - it really does make a huge difference in copying speeds, especially when the disk drives you are using are old and slow.
Total Commander has a file/multiple file mouse drag and drop function between two side by side windows. Download the Totalcmd-Drive plug-in for Google Drive support and there is one for OneDrive (https://www.ghisler.com/androidplugins/download/). Like most DeX file management, it is quirky (long press/short press/drag behaviour, etc) but does have wildcard file selection and once you get the hang of it, it is very efficient.
Nothing like a 'proper desktop OS' file management though and I have used a Linux emulator (UserLand) in the past for file management and websites needing a desktop compatible browser/in-browser PDF and flash support.
On windows total commander can set speeds for normal copy processes once you put them into background, that's a copy mode from that software, just try it :)
On linux I think rsync has a bandwidth flag
Total Commander not only has the best name, but it also a very good file manager that features an extremely capable rename tool with replacement, numbering, and even RegEx. I've been using it for years and years.
Alles was ich über FTP laufen lasse, geht bei mir über den TotalCommander. Das ist allerdings nur für Wartung und Entwicklung notwendig.
Wenn ich darüber dochmal was weitergegeben habe, bekommen die Empfänger ohnehin nur den Web-Link
Dateiweitergabe läuft bei mir heutzutage primär über meine NextCloud.
FTP im Broser hab ich seit jahren nicht genutzt, außer irgendeine DL seite hat tatsächlich noch einen FTP Link am Start.
I don't know why everyone was so excited about ES file Manager! When I got my shield I searched different sites and
forums and ES File Manager was the MUST HAVE on all of them. At that moment I installed it, but started discovering
other software alongside as well and my favorite has become Total Commander <strong>https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm</strong>
I have also Mixplorer and X-Plor installed. But I only use Total Commander!
For file renaming (and many other file managing tasks) on Windows i would recommend Total Commander. Select files, (if they're in multiple folders, with Ctrl + B you can list children folders' contents), hit Ctrl + M, there's a "Replace" field, type in what you want to get rid of, hit go.
But!
You're talking about scrobbling, which should submit data from the tags - unless you're scrobbling with untagged files?
You can tell if you look at the file properties in foobar (right click on song) and artist, title etc is empty.
I'll detail tagging if that's needed.
> 1) How do I install APK file of the game I own? For example I tried GTA III which I own. I used APK Extractor to get APK file from my phone. Installed it on OGO and adb reported that game is installed. It didn't work. Do I need to do anything with APK file before I try to install it? Is file protected from copying? I am thinking I probably have to sign it somehow.
You don't need to sign it. What happens when you try to run it?
> 2) I installed GTA III. In Oculus TV game shows as square, in Unknown Sources. There is no name under box (where thumbnail should be). How can I uninstall this? Doesn't even have name? Is there any app that can do uninstalls?
It's just adb uninstall packagename
The package name is distinct from the APK name, which for GTA III is com.rockstar.gta3, so it would be adb uninstall com.rockstar.gta3
There are a number of ways to find out the package name. Here are a some of the easier methods:
- it's in the Play Store URL: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3&hl=en
- you can get a list of all the packages you have installed like this: adb shell pm list packages -3
- you can try installing the APK again which will produce an error like the following (which will include the package name): Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS: Attempt to re-install com.rockstar.gta3 without first uninstalling.] (so long as you're not using the -r option with the install command which will replace the existing install)
Or, sure, you can sideload an app that has APK management capabilities. There are lots to choose from. I'm partial to Total Commander.
Don't be afraid of ADB. You don't need root (which we don't have anyway), and without root you can't really mess anything up that a factory reset wouldn't fix. And that's not to say that it's even all that easy to accidentally mess up in a way that would require a factory reset. And there are are numerous advantages:
- the ability to sideload VR apps that aren't distributed on the Oculus store
- the ability to sideload standard Android apps that you can then run a virtual screen inside Oculus TV
- the ability to increase the Go's rendering resolution for enhanced clarity in third-party apps
- the ability to pair certain bluetooth peripherals that are impossible to pair via the standard pairing function
- the ability to fix problems like the one you're encountering ;)
- a bunch of other stuff
If you're even remotely tech savvy, or are willing to become so, I would encourage you to run in developer mode and get ADB working so you can get more out of your Go experience.
Try this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusGo/wiki/sideloading
Then you'll be able to bring up the Android settings panel to see if the underlying Android OS thinks Trains VR is installed or not (and if so you can do a clear data operation and uninstall it to start fresh), or you could install an app like Total Commander (or whatever) that has it's own APK management tools and run it inside Oculus TV to see if you can deal with the problem that way.
You can feel free to ask questions if you have any trouble getting started :)
I usually use Total Commander to move files between harddrives. If the harddrive is in tact that is. Remember to run as admin and check show view hidden files in Display tab. Are you able to mount two harddrives at once while booting windows on different working drive?
Filezilla would work for ftp.
if you can access the server via cifs/smb then fast copy might be useful. It will copy acls whereas ftp will not. It's fast and it's free, and it dont care a bit about long filenames. and it can log erros, and resume etc..
That usually happened to me, when the drive was transferring small files.
I'd suggest looking into Fast Copy.
I set the cache / buffer setting to 8 gigs, on my rig that has 64 gigs, and the files transfer very smoothly.
- FastCopy is the Fastest Copy/Backup Software on Windows
- It supports UNICODE and over MAX_PATH (260 characters) file pathnames.
- Because it uses multi-threads for Read/Write/Verify, Overlapped I/O, Direct I/O, so it brings out the best speed of devices.
- It supports Include/Exclude filter like a UNIX wildcard.
- It runs fast and does not hog resources, because MFC is not used. (Designed using Win32 API and C Runtime only)
Total Commander with the EXIF plugin can do this.
https://www.ghisler.com/dplugins.htm - search for "EXIF" and you will find the EXIF 2.6 plugin. After that you use this plugin to mass rename your files.
I would use either RoboCopy or Total Commander to copy/sync large amounts of files and not recommend using the default Windows file explorer.
Robocopy is run via the Command Prompt.
robocopy {source directory} {target directory} /e /r:1 /v
the e says copy everything, r:1 means retry 1x if an error occurs, v means verbose so you can see what it's doing.
Total Commander is an app.
FastCopy is awesome. When I was gainfully employed with a Global Engineering Co., we used it in the server team to move a shit ton (2.8PB+) of files when we migrated from On-premise to cloud based storage. The Boss fell in love with it...
Grab the installer package BUT when it starts select the portable version setup. it will drop a portable executable (no installs/reg crap) in a folder you choose. Can then copy it anywhere you want and run it.
Make sure to "Run as Administrator" to make sure it can see everything.
It will sync the timestamps of your files and keep everything happy. It has a lot of options and a no frills GUI so no friggin command line crap. If you WANT command line, it supports that as well but for home use you probably don't want to write scripts / mess with a prompt if you don't need to.
Total Commander, an orthodox file manager by Christian Ghisler. I believe it was originally written in Pascal, before transitioning to Delphi.
I have used Total Commander since it was called Windows Commander, all the way back to Windows 3.1 on a 486. It is the oldest software I'm using (for nearly 30 years now) that's still being developed.
He also has a version for Android devices that I also use.
Found a solution that works for me. I used the following command:
xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings" "J:\Documents and Settings" /c /v /s /f /r /h /n
This is not applicable for this issue, but in the case it helps someone else, if you're wanting to copy a file from one place in your network to another, you could use the xcopy command tool using the /z parameter
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
You can write your own scripts using robocopy or rsync. You can also look at commercial backup software that does incremental backups - Macrium Reflect, Veeam, etc.
Heck, even XCOPY supports only copying files that are newer than destination.
Robocopy doesn’t need a /d switch. It doesn’t blindly copy files, it looks at the destination while it’s doing it. If a file already exists in the destination and it’s identical to the source file it skips it.
Robocopy is a lot like rsync. It’s used for synchronizing folders.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Try changing your xcopy command to this.
cmd /c xcopy C:\*.csv %DeployRoot%\StaffDevices /qcivy
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy for information on the switches chosen.
For troubleshooting, you may want to remove the c from the list of switches, as that may mask issues you are encountering. You could also put a delay in the task sequence and then the command manually to verify what you need exactly.
If robocopy is not part of the OS you are using, Xcopy has similar options.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Try
xcopy a: b: /s /l /r > logfile.txt
Robocopy has been included with every OS since Vista. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy?wprov=sfla1
Thanks for your reply. This sounds like it definitely could be the right answer. Unfortunately I can't check, as I needed a quick fix yesterday, so I copied the entire folder structure (rooted at SFZ) using xcopy in powershell (with /s and /e options iirc), then deleted the original and renamed the new. I then checked file renaming in explorer & powershell and it was working.
According to the xcopy docs, "By default, xcopy does not copy hidden or system files" and By default, xcopy removes the read-only attribute.". So this would explain why my xcopy quick fix worked if it did not copy desktop.ini to the new location.
If it happens again, I will definitely look for desktop.ini and ready-only attributes. The folders were created by extracting from zip files to various locations, so I might try and replicate the problem too.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Definitely this. No need to install any software or the entire Linux subsystem.
Create a simple backup_minecraft.txt file add the xcopy command as per docs below
Microsoft help: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Rename the file so that the extension is .cmd instead of .txt.
Then open Task Scheduler and create a task with a recurring trigger that runs the .cmd file.
PM if you need any help.
If you are on windows you can just do this.
Assume drive C is your normal drive and G is the one backup one (just picking random letters)
- Open a command prompt
In the prompt type
xcopy C:\ G:\ /s/r/e/v/z/c/i/d
Press enter
This will copy all the new and updated files to the backup drive, and ignore the ones that haven't changed
Here is the xcopy reference for understanding what all those switches do.
I use teracopy all the time for everyday file manipulation but for huge amounts of data I prefer xcopy.
nothing wrong with teracopy just sharing an alternative option
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
I sometimes use xcopy with hickeryd parameters instead of restarting.
2 times, the second shows anything not copied or use a "/l"
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Write a batch file that copies all new files in a direcory to a backup location then run the batch file as a scheduled windows task every 30 mins or so.
You probably will want to look up the command line switches for xcopy. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy
Look into xcopy.
You can first use xcopy /t /e ... to copy the directory structure (without copying files) if your converter software doesn't automatically make new folders.
Then cd ... into the original folder, you can use xcopy /s /l ... to generate a list of files to convert relative to the original folder.
Finally, cd back to the upper level and run the file converter on the list of input file names preceded by the original folder name; while using the input file names preceded by the new folder name as output. Since the previous step gives you relative path, preceding with different top level folders maintains the entire hierarchy in that folder.

The easy way is to take out all the storage media in your PC and install only your new SSD and an optical drive if you are using that for the clean OS install instead of the preferred USB drive.
Install your OS, drivers and run Windows Update and install all your regular applications.
Install your HDDs. Ideally, you would want to move all the data you want to keep off your old boot drive to the new HDD then wipe the old HDD (delete the partition and then create a new one & format it). You can then move back any files you'd rather have on that drive. This is the best way to get rid of your old OS and any associated files that are now orphaned.
Use Microsoft's RichCopy tool to help your file moving efforts. It's way better than File Explorer and more efficient.
It is not perfect and not supported by Microsoft but it does do a great job nearly all the time. Here is the link to a TechNet article with a download link. The Wikipedia article briefly mentions some of its issues.
MS Richcopy will allow you to skip bad files. It also has a log, so you can see which files were skipped.
Maybe after the initial copy, you can go back and decompress whatever didn't copy.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx
In my personal experience it is going to be far less headache to just do a downtime copy. DFS for just moving files is complete overkill. Especially since you don't have any experience with DFS.
Robocopy for this task is perfect. You can have it copy all the files and folders for you, and it will tell you what files it was unable to copy. So then you won't have to play missing file search for your users over the next few months.
Also there is this awesome gui for Robocopy if you don't want to have to use the CLI syntax.

I hope you only have your games on the 1 TB as the things you want to uninstall. If this is the case, you do NOT need to uninstall your games even if you do a clean install of your Windows on your SSD.
You have 2 options with regards to changing from Win7 to Win 8:
A) Run the "Upgrade" option where Windows 8 will overwrite your current Win7 installation and retain all of your customizations and program installations. You also retain any legacy drivers, files and registry settings from all the things you have done on your PC since installing Win7. You will also have a giant hidden area about the size of your current Win 7 OS that has to be manually deleted to regain the drive space.
B) Do a clean install (wipe your SSD and install Win as if you were installing a brand new SSD with OS). You will lose all your customizations (unless you use the EasyTrasfer feature) and will definitely need to reinstall all applications. The big advantage is you clean up the registry and the Windows folder so there will be no legacy Win7 files at all or any leftover junk from old applications and whatever elese you've done just by running Windows 7 for a period of time.
Games don't usually need to be redownloaded (especially ones from Steam). I believe Origin still needs the game install files (which are kept with the Origin client by default not the actual game files that you play from), so if you set up Origin right, you'll be golden there too.
Finally, 500 GB just isn't enough space to back up a 240 GB SSD + a 1 TB HDD unless you have a boatload of free space. The best you can hope for is to select to backup only the most essential files with a limit somewhere close to about 200 GB per backup.
If you need to move a bunch of files around, Microsoft's RichCopy tool is awesome. It's been around nearly forever and still works better than any drag and drop file manager.
If you want it done faster you can download Microsoft's ancient (but still quite effective) free RichCopy tool. It works great even on 64 bit Win8. Here's an article about it.
What are you using to copy the files over? Robocopy xxcopy? Explorer? Rsync? Something else?
My guess is that if the drive isn't a problem (and you've already stated that it was ok right up until you started doing the copy) then the problem is far more likely to be either an issue with the network or something "interesting" about your files. I know I've seen very bad performance using windows explorer to copy files across the network if there were lots of small files (< 100Mb) - copying larger files got much better performance.
You might try looking at either RichCopy http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx or the Microsoft File Server Migration toolkit to see if you get better results from those. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj863566.aspx
Copywhiz helps you quickly copy pre-defined set of files, right from the Windows File Explorer context menu. You can pre-define the source files and save it as project. Then just run the project from the Copywhiz menu - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
You probably don't need a file manager. But a file copy software that will help you delete/move in a massive way. You can try Copywhiz - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
You can use Copywhiz to copy all media files to a folder. Copywhiz can copy files based on file extension. So you can just copy all jpg, png, mp4, mp3, mpeg etc in to separate location. Copywhiz also has an option to copy all files into a single folder so that you don't have to dig into each folder. If a file with same name exists, then it can rename automatically - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
Copywhiz can do that (almost). You would configure Copywhiz to copy a file (sample dummy file) to a new destination folder each time. This new destination folder is based on current date. Also it has the option to schedule (Every week). So you will see a folder created automatically with that folder name.
More about Copywhiz - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
Copywhiz can do it easily for you. You can extract certain types of files (video, images) from several folders and move them somewhere else. This way you can organize your videos and images (based on name, type etc) - http://www.conceptworld.com/Copywhiz
It sounds like your 2DS is booting from the copy of Luma on the NAND instead of from your SD card. It is quite possible your SD card is failing, as they can sometimes become read-only when they stop working.
Start by copying everything on your SD card to your PC. (I recommend Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier.) Then get a new SD card, format it to FAT32, and test it with h2testw – or format your current SD card and test it with h2testw. Then copy all the files back to the card again.
You may have SD card corruption. A good start would be to copy everything to your PC (I suggest using a tool like Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier ). Then format the card and test it for errors with h2testw – or get a new card, format it properly, and test it with h2testw. Then copy everything back. That might be enough to fix it. (It's good to back up your SD card every now and then anyway.)
Do not try to delete mysterious items in FBI or Data Managament. That will likely make things worse.
If you're on a windows computer, use a program called Unstoppable Copier. It transfers the data regardless of size without breaking it. (Used for PS2 files onto a fat32 myself.)
Disconnect and power down everything. Re-connect. Try again. If still slow try drive in another computer. If still slow use something like unstoppable copier to copy your data before doing anything else. That is your priority, once your data is safe you'll have time to experiment.
WD passports are a bitch because they have propietary controller and connectors unlike many other externals, which have a USB adapter plugged into a regular SATA header. This makes pulling them out and doing standadrd data recovery impossible. WD will replace the drive under warranty but your data will be lost.
Good luck.
How important is the data? If it's critically important to you I wouldn't mess around with trying to recover it yourself. It's possible you could make the data irretrievable. If that's acceptable to you then there are things you can try.
First. Do NOT write ANY data at all to that drive. Recover the files to somewhere else.
Since the drive seems accessible I would start with Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier and move on to more advanced methods if that fails.
I don't think "emulators" really belong in this section. That's a gaming thing, not a quality of life thing.
That being said, there's some really good suggestions in this post. I do, however, want to say that Teracopy was AWESOME back in the day, but I found after windows 7 it's utterly useless. If anything, it causes problems. As much as it killed me to do, I stopped using it a few years ago.
If you have Win8 or higher, I would honestly avoid teracopy as the gains from it are negligible. Instead, cheack out SuperCopier4
If MD5 hashing isn't wanted/needed/required/allowed by time, then at least look into Ultra Copier http://ultracopier.first-world.info/ since I find it more reliable than Finder/Explorer (I've had Finder just copy over folder structure but not any files, WTF?) and has features like being able to pause transfers and edit buffer size, etc.
Personally, I use a custom app, Shotput licensing (getting them to reset it when I wipe/restore my systems) has become an extreme headache.
It's normal for a drive to fluctuate in write speeds. Nothing to worry about there. As for not being able to copy your file I would suggest trying Teracopy and see how that works out for you.

Use Tera Copy for file transfers, with the verify option turned on. It will in the end do a CRC check between the original and copied files and tell you which files did not copy over properly.
Why do you want to use Acronis for this backup? Simply use the Windows copy or better still Teracopy. Select the validate after copy option. This will check the CRC of all the files being copied and report if any file had a problem in being copied.
I've run into this issue before. Use TeraCopy to copy files. I had to copy a lot of files (totaling 250 GB) from an old computer to an old external USB 2.0 hard drive. Before using TeraCopy, it was averaging only 50KB/sec. TeraCopy boosted the copying speed to 1 MB/sec. If your computer has more modern hardware, your copy speeds should be much higher (depending on the disk drives' abilities).
Setup side loading using SideQuest.
Then you can use the SideQuest app to sideload the android version of Total Commander file manager.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
With that you can search for files ending in mp4, mov, mkv, etc
Für den Total Commander gäbs ein Plugin:
>Erweitertes Diskettenimage-Plugin (diskimage, rawread usw.): Erzeugen von IMG-Dateien (verschiedene Grössen, wählbar via "Konfigurieren"-Button), Extrahieren, Hinzufügen und Löschen von Dateien. Unterstützt lange Dateinamen. Kann mehr als IMG(1), aber Quelltext nicht verfügbar.
Aber nur 32-Bit so dass ich es nicht bei meinem testen kann.
Pros: tons of plugin support, much better search functions, dual panes, built in FTP client (with TLS support!), HTTP support, archive navigation, file comparisons (MD5 hash is default I believe), in window previews, robust renaming tools, file history and changes.
Cons: Shareware which means after a month the free license expires (but if you purchase a license it's lifetime not just for that version), kind of clunky interface with it's very early 2000's look, very slow on networking connections, tons of time to "fine tune" it.
The website for Total Commander is where you can purchase a license. I used it when I was on Windows but a good Linux alternative would be Dolphin I think.
Interesting, but not quite what I meant. I'm looking for old websites that are not abandoned, but that are still actively maintained, yet remain "true" to their original design. Here is another good example: https://www.ghisler.com/, a website about a Windows program that offers downloads all the way from Windows 3.1 to Windows 10.
SkyBox can mount SMB for playback but doesn't have a file manager to delete.
I have AndSMB sideloaded onto my headset for doing any SMB file management.
http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andsmb/index.html
Total Commander is also a good thing to sideload for file management. It can do APK installs and other app management that's missing in the Quest UI. It has an SMB plugin but TC plugins don't work with the Quest.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
Just a reminder that in general sideloading generic Android apps is a bad idea.
Old and simple utility apps like these should be OK.
There is a solution for Windows, a plugin for Total Commander. It is quite old, 2012, but it works quite well with ADF and partially HDF. I would like to find a solution for full-fledged work with HDF, as with an archive, or if someone would modify this plugin so that you can open this container of any size as an archive.
Link to the plugin author's page http://www.coderbug.rs/projects/amigadx
And a plugin repository for Total Commander https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm
No, but if you can get a PC or Mac with sidequest (or adb) installed just once, install a file manager app like Total Commander (https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm#download) Astro onto your Quest. After that, you'll be able to download apk files via the Oculus browser and install them without needing a computer. Many of the Sidequest game files are actually hosted on Itch.io, so you can download them there as well.
Total Commander works with a keyboard with limited issues (sometimes the f. selection bar goes out of the screen -> solution keep TAB pressed till it find its way back). Great also for home network file transport between different platforms as it got tons of plugins.
Interesting! I wonder if it can be made into a plug-in for Total Commander instead of the venerable FileInfo plugin (though it still works fine most of the time). Unfortunately, I absolutely lack time for side projects right now because of the new dog.

Plugin: https://totalcmd.net/plugring/gaup.html
Note that you have to pay to use Total Commander for longer than 30 days. Also, get the 32-bit version as the plugin isn't compatible with the 64-bit version.
There's no way Notepad++ can handle a 60gb file. At those sizes you need purpose built read-only file readers (like lister) in you are running Windows.
emeditor will work but it costs $180. It uses a specific method for files over 300mb where it uses temporary files instead of RAM and disables a lot of features. And emeditor has a 'stop' button when opening large files since it takes a really long time.
Podes usar powershell (tiene autocomplete) o podes copiar la ruta donde quieras y pegarla con el click derecho del mouse si la tenes en el clipboard (no me sale la palabra en castellano)
​
> Por ejemplo, me gustaría hacer "copy blablablabla", ir al directorio de destino, tipear "paste" o algo así, y que se copien los archivos que indiqué antes. Se puede hacer algo así
Si, pero en ventanadas, se llama cortar y pegar... Porque no queres hacerlo por visor?
Si tenes MUCHAS GANAS probate total commander que te abre 2 "consolitas" pegadas una al lado de la otra, navegas origen en una, destino en la otra y te deja copiar con f5 (si no recuerdo mal)
People have been complaining about Explorer from the start, mostly due to it's single pane; Two being needed to easily transfer files. Most have started using or going over to Total Commander for that ability.
We were used to send files to our partners, customers by email, but the bigger those files are, it was getting a problem, now (all done with ahk .. in appr. 15 hours programing effort)
- with marked files in totalcommander (is an amazing tool, https://www.ghisler.com/)
- we generate an encrypted-named zip file (encrypted .. no reengineering possible so guessing other links is impossible)
- we upload those zip-package to an external https-server (controlled by us) via ftp
- create a text in clipbord with a list of all files, an expiration date of that link and the link itself for our partner, customer to download -- this can be copied into an email e.g.
- delete expired files - those data are stored in a local log-file - from https-server (e.g. 30 days later)
therewith our company email-base stays on a reasonable dimensions, everything is documented and it works comfortably for our staff and our partner/customers.
I programmed a similar solution with dropbox and bitly-links before (now own https-links and self encrypted), but not all of our partners/customers were allowed to open those (probaly insecure) links because of their security polcies.

I don't know why they did choose that confusing version number. The patch is definitely newer than the 1.4 one and the changes 1.4 made, are even included in it. 1.4 was named unofficial though since it was a community patch, so it might be that the 1.2 should add a more official flair to that patch.
Did you right-click on the .exe, go to Properties/Compatibility and select Run as Administrator and Compatibility to Windows XP SP 3? Like it is recommended for installing anything FL related? A further problem might be that, beginning with Win 7, the games folder is especially protected and therefore it's often easier to install the game to another folder like c:\Freelancer or whatever. Problems with the folder protection can alternatively be solved with Total Commander from www.ghisler.com, a file commander that offers to switch to Admin mode.
Total Commander. Yeah, it is a file manager and yeah it wont be too intuitive from a first look, but give it a chance, it is very powerful and very fast (also very low on resources, on Windows 10 the 32bit version uses less than a third of the resources the Calculator uses, although that says more about Calculator than Total Commander :-P).
I recommend to install it and go through the help file (note that it is a program with a very long development history so there might be a few dated references in there :-P).
