Automatic Coding

Unless I'm not gathering what you're asking, it's simple as syncing to any other folder, here's a photo of my syncing to my 2nd hard-drive:- Offtopic:- reason it's called "ABC" is because apparently whenever I tried to use no-name for my partition the program I was using to format it returned "Please enter a name", so, I just put anything in.

This is just a P2P service, if there's no computer on that has the file you're requesting, it won't be able to acquire said file. However, this service doesn't require PCs to be on 24/7, when the program starts it'll ask any computers that are online for anything that's happened while they were down, then down the new data.

Oh, I completely missed that, sorry. Well, one way of doing it would just be to change the length from 32 to 128 or larger (In the generation code, which, apparently I can't find in the javascript. I gave up after ~ a minute), another way is to just say "Security isn't automated, do it yourself" and let users do it themselves. I know I changed my secret, and, I'm sure you did to. I understand not everyone will, but, that's kind of their fault. I do agree though, however, I dislike having to have the same folder names (As I believe that's what you're saying?)

What's stopping you from just selecting the share folder as /path/to/mount/position?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, you can specify your own value > 32 characters?

Pretty sure restarting the process causes in a sync when it starts, so:- kill $PID ~/.sync/btsync --config ~/.sync/sync.conf and that's your "Sync now" hackish way of doing it, although, I do agree a sync now option would be nice, although, I've had no issue with it detecting file changes (Linux).

Well, even if they tell you "Sorry, rules are rules", US IP or not, who really cares? They're saying you can torrent, just not with a US IP and they'll deal with everything for you. Only time I'd care is if I was also hosting a public server on it and I didn't want people to think it was going to a be a high latency Indian CS:S server.

My point, and, Dropbox (Like every other company) charge extra to gain this magical thing called profit. Technically, you're still being over charged by that VPS, why? They're making profit. Host your own VPS (Dedi), your own ISP, your own everything. Mwuaha--, or, if you're not that craze-filled, just buy a VPS, it's cheaper than dropbox. EDIT:- Just sayin' BitSync developers, if people do start buying VPSes, people would love to have "Encrypted nodes" /whistle.... implement it EDIT2:- 5,1) bitTorrent 5,1,1) Use of any bitTorrent software is restricted to non-US IPs. Any service found to be torrenting from a US-based IP address will be assigned a random non-US IP, and the client will not be eligible for any further US IP assignments.] I thought I'd note that down.

If any ISP were to block BitSync (I doubt they'd block the webUI, more likely the listening/transmission service) they wouldn't block the port, because that'd knock 1/65535'th of the internet offline (Not really, since port 80,25,23,22,53/etc > port 48593 or any other random port). They'd listen in for the packets & block the protocol itself.

You may want to look into buying a VPS if you just want to back up files, I know Dropbox (Last time I checked, which was ~ a year ago when a family member bought a 1 year Dropbox account) costs $100 per year for 100GB. E.G $1/GB for a year. You can PROBABLY buy a basic VPS with 100GB HDD data for $100/year, not really looked into it but yeah. The more space you use the cheaper it'll be compared to dropbox (Because of the base cost of the VPS, HDD space is pretty cheap), I believe, although, not looked into pricing, it's just my guess. Anyway, I use two NAS drives (Based in different countries), both with >5TB empty space, so, I'm good. EDIT:- Just thought I'd state that 3TB drives are ~$50/TB for good quality drives and as low as ~ $35/TB for low-end ones (E.G. 'Green' drives, with low read/write/warranty). Even if you were to do raid 1 (Which I wouldn't recommend, I'd recommend raid 4/5 for this kind of thing) it would cost you $70-$100/TB for life with a NAS drive. If you were going to raid 4/5 them, it'd be more like $40-55/TB, although, the exact values depend on how many drives you buy (The more you buy, the less it costs/TB, closer to $35-$50)

This service has no central server like Dropbox or Google Drive. This works by a P2P approach where when you download a file, you then seed it to everyone else who wants it. Dropbox/Google Drive works by uploading it to a central server (Their servers) and then all the clients downloading it off them. An advantage of a central server is that it doesn't require another one of your PCs to be on to download stuff. An advantage of a P2P system means that your files are private (To an extent, it's a complicated word, "Private") and you're not limited by any limits the company puts on your (Bandwidth limits, max data caps, etc...)

I did mention the 'real time' folder watch in the latter half of my post.

I do use that, but, not for the folders (Just the data dir/authentication/etc). I like my applications web-based, means I can control everything from one application (Chrome) or on the go. Sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato, transmission, BitTorrentSync, Plex, /etc.

Every 10 minutes, currently not configurable. I believe on linux however, it listens for file changes and updates the second anything changes.

I'm an idiot, UDP needs to be open on your listening port, not TCP. That may or may not help you exist, does for me.

I still have to do this, kind of annoying, I have to RDP into my other box. Currently I have one using port X, the other using port X+1 (just to be safe), both port forwarded, both picked up by nmap as an "option port", but detected on my box running btsync as a open connection from one to the other, and, one of the btsyncs even detects the other two, the other two just don't detect it:- "Tower UK" POV:- "Laptop" POV:- "Tower US" POV:-

Worked out why, I had another cookie from the same server (Hosts quite a few web-based items) that had the word "GUID" in it, I exported & removed said cookie, loaded up the bittorrentsync webUI, it assigned the "GUID" cookie, then imported "SESSION_GUID" back in. All works fines.

I think it still fits in this topic, this topic is about setting up connections, mine is about diagnosing connections. Potato Po-tat-o.

Does anyone know how the protocol initiates? E.G. how I can provoke a reply from the server? I want to verify that it's connecting, although, opening a connection (nc ip listeningPort) doesn't seem to log anything, although, it does seem to connect.

I've also noticed that on my gigabit LAN network I only seem to transfer at ~ 20Mb/s (2.5MB/s). Network testing I pull ~ 985Mb/s (123MB/s), the read speed of the submitter is ~ 80MB/s and the write speed of the receiver is ~ 60MB/s. Too be honest, it's not that bad, as, I rarely ever update my files, and, if I do, oh well, it takes a few more minutes.

Pretty sure it already has this, I renamed a 1GB file yesterday and it said "Syncing 1GB", however, after ~ a minute it went back to "Synced $DATE", so, I presume it realized that the 1GB was already synced.

If you have access to the --config option, then yes, else, no. I don't own a mac, no idea, apparently it's there on linux but not on windows, so, I have no idea for OSX.

ssh -L 8889:localhost:8888 username@dnsOrIP Login, go to your browser and go to:- http://localhost:8889/gui/ You'll route your connection through the SSH tunnel and pop out the other end as if you were the NAS box, meaning that the 127.0.0.1 IP bind will still accept your connection. Tuh-duh! Basic SSH tutorial. As for the authentication, modify the configuration json file and add your authentication:- Yay for following the "README" file.

This + Restoring any version of any file + automatic deletion of trash after X days = perfect.

Works fine on unraid, just SSH/telnet in and:- #Download BTSync wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_i386.tar.gz -P /tmp #Untar BTSync cd /tmp && tar -xzf /tmp/btsync_i386.tar.gz #Remove tar rm /tmp/btsync_i386.tar.gz #Run binary /tmp/btsync --config /mnt/user/Appdata/bitTorrentSync/sync.conf
