[cannot sync nas out of lan]

they were different.I try to set them the same but now it wont even connect

[cannot sync nas out of lan]

I have all discovery options enabled.Even predefined host using the ip..I did not modify the ports on the router as the laptop which was on the same network was syncing ok with the desktop out of the network without having changed anything in the router..

i have upnp enabled

[cannot sync nas out of lan]

I have set up bittorrentsync succesfully thanks to help from this forum..I have a problem though. 

NAS will sync succesfully with laptop in the same LAN.

Laptop in the same LAN will sync succesfully with desktop OUT out of LAN.

NAS will NOT sync with desktop out of LAN...(i used the ip method it connects but will not download anything)

I have tried almost anything but cannot figure this out. The fact that the laptop will sync with desktop out of lan means that all the ports on router etc are ok right?what else could be the problem?

 

 

UPDATE if i put the ip of the desktop pc in the nas settings nothing happens.if i put the ip of the nas in the desktop settings then the nas displays that there is connection(no sync though) but the desktop still shows no connection..

[Sync to NAS (D-Link DNS-320)]

thank you! I had a look in the folders but i couldnt have guest it was hidden there! Managed to share the folder , connects and sync ok with a laptop in my network but wont sync with a pc outside of the network..It downloads nothing.Even used the ip method. The laptop in my neywork connects with the pc out of the network fine..I wonder what is the problem..

[Sync to NAS (D-Link DNS-320)]

i managed to install it following the info on this post , thank you. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to share files out of funplug folder? Btsync will not display Volume1 folder , only the folders in funplug...

[Bittorentsync and NAS how to share files out of funplug folder]

I am not familiar with the NAS you use, but as you have figured out yourself, you have a permission problem. The user that runs btsync must have full access to the folder(s) that you are trying to sync.

Several possible solutions:

- change the permissions of the folders to 777 with chmod, or make the btsync user also owner of the folder or at least add him to the same group, see chown and adduser tools

- run btsync as a different user with more privileges (root might not be a wise choice and should only be a last resort for testing purposes)

so sharing files out of th ffp folder is out of the question? My only optiion is to fix pernissions and copy all my files there?

[Bittorentsync and NAS how to share files out of funplug folder]

I successfully installed btsync on dlink dns320 but it seems that it only allows me to share folders inside the ffp(funplug) folder. All my files are of course out of this folder .Is there a way to change that?It seems i cant even copy them into the ffp folder as it says i dont have permission...i could try to copy with ssh but it would be much easier if could just share any folder in the NAS..
