It works as written here:

I have the same problem! Could a proxy be the problem?

Which problem ?

add-apt-repository doesnt work under ubuntu 14.04

It didn't work in 15.04 either. It's possible to download a zipped executable for Ubuntu from the FFS website, but again not for 15.04.

However!

If you search for that familiar stretch of linux time known as a desert sickness interval*, you might be lucky enough to find instructions here, to get it from the GetDeb repository, ffs:

http://sourcedigit.com/16224-install-freefilesync-7-1-to-synchronize-files-folders-on-linux-ubuntu-systems/

Very excited to see the new version, btw. Announcement on the website says this super piece of software can now detect file moves! Phewee! Now that is cool. Unlike the official install documentation.

* you know, when you had planned to go to bed or have a life or something, but some linux glitch has you searching forums and trying dead command line routines till your throat is dry and your heart is heavy and your head feels dull sick but some other forum post offers some other routine that seemed to have worked once for at least one person and it looks through the haze in your eyes like an oasis and you think, 'Water, water, I must have water... but look! see!... the workaround is just now within my reach! just one more small obstacle! just one more push!'. And when the mirage scatters, as it does right before your eyes the moment you reach it, it reveals behind it another oasis but that looks certain now to be the one.

What message to you get for

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freefilesync/ffs
