  1. yes, people could distribute CP with this. and people living in countries with oppressive regeims could also distribute banned material freely. or you could safely distribute anything you want, legal, illegal, subversive or totally unimportant... it's just a technology. if it's not implemented here, somebody else would implement it somewhere else. where there's a need, ther is an implementation.
  2. that would only give people a false sense of security. golden rule goes: once you gave somebody else access to your files, they can do with them whatever they like and you can't do much about that - period. so, you should only share your files with people you trust, technology can't do nothing for ya here. it's funny; same sorts of proposals appear on dropbox forums on and on, no arguments help...
  3. thank you, @Automatic Coding, that worked! thank you also, eseelke, you were right too!
  4. here it is: { "device_name": "nameofmymachine", "listening_port" : 0, // 0 - randomize port /* storage_path dir contains auxilliary app files if no storage_path field: .sync dir created in the directory where binary is located. otherwise user-defined directory will be used */ "storage_path" : "/home/myusername/mybtsyncfolder/.sync", // uncomment next line if you want to set location of pid file // "pid_file" : "/var/run/syncapp/syncapp.pid", "check_for_updates" : true, "use_upnp" : true, // use UPnP for port mapping /* limits in kB/s 0 - no limit */ "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0, // remove "listen" field to disable WebUI // remove "login" and "password" fields to disable credentials check // "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "login" : "myusn", "password" : "mypwd" } /* !!! if you set shared folders in config file WebUI will be DISABLED !!! shared directories specified in config file override the folders previously added from WebUI. */ /* , "shared_folders" : [ { // use --generate-secret in command line to create new secret "secret" : "MY_SECRET_1", // * required field "dir" : "/home/user/bittorrent/sync_test", // * required field // use relay server when direct connection fails "use_relay_server" : true, "use_tracker" : true, "use_dht" : false, "search_lan" : true, // enable sync trash to store files deleted on remote devices "use_sync_trash" : true, // specify hosts to attempt connection without additional search "known_hosts" : [ "192.168.1.2:44444", "myhost.com:6881" ] } ] */ // Advanced preferences can be added to config file. // Info is available in BitTorrent Sync User Guide. // LAN encryption "lan_encrypt_data": true }
  5. if i do that i get this: Error while parsing config file: Unexpected end of config file (are you missing '}') ?
  6. haha, an argument like this could be used for any human invention from wheel on.
  7. also, i can't set btsync to automatically start at start up with .conf file. i put this line to startup manager on my ubuntu computer, but this doesn't start the deamon: /home/user/btsyncfolder/btsync --config sync.conf
  8. thanks! now it works. (followed the first suggestion) now i have another problem. adding the line that enables encryption over LAN does something bad to the config file. i added this to the very end of the .config file (as suggested in the manual): // LAN encryption "lan_encrypt_data": true and got an error when starting the deamon: Error while parsing config file: parse error: after key and value, inside map, I expect ',' or '}' Guide. // LAN encryption "lan_encrypt_data": true } (right here) ------^ any suggestion?
  9. i would like to secure webUI with password on linux. i followed the manual but it seems that i am doing something wrong, because i can still connect to webUI without the usn/pwd prompt. what i did (following the manual): 1. i made a config file in the folder where the btsync binary is: ./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf 2. i edited that config file: changed /* remove "listen" field to disable WebUI remove "login" and "password" fields to disable credentials check */ "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "login" : "admin", "password" : "password" } to // remove "listen" field to disable WebUI remove "login" and "password" fields to disable credentials check // "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "login" : "admin", "password" : "blahblahblah" } 3. i also added the LAN encryption line to the end of the file: // LAN encryption "lan_encrypt_data": true 4. restarted the deamon, connected to webui - without the password propmt! 5. i also renamed the sync.conf file to sync.json. same result. please tell me what i am doing wrong... thanks!
  10. @dearnold: people who really depend on encryption would mail their secrets PGP encrypted.
  11. to OP: btsync is a great piece of software but i wouldn't recomend anyone to use an alpha stage software for something so important as backup. there are bugs still and anything can happen. wait till it gets stable!
  12. Please also include me to the android testing goup. Thanks!
  13. phones are easy to get lost or stolen and since i would also sync some valuable files from my computer, i'd like to have an option to locally encrypt selected synced folder. and when the folder gets decrypted, i could open the files inside from within the app. the last four features from the previous post would also be recommended, to only open those files inside the app for better security.
