Just to follow up: the problem for me turned out to be my VPS host - they were blocking outgoing UDP traffic on their router and it was completely destroying btsync. I'm on their whitelist now and its working great. Hopefully this helps someone else - check with your host just in case they're doing the same to you!

I'm having the same problems you describe. The logs on the server and client indicate that they see each other, but nothing happens in the UI to suggest a transfer needs to happen. And thus it doesn't sync.

I'm having some problems getting btsync working. Here is my setup: Server:: I've been trying to setup btsync on a headless Ubuntu (12.04 64 Bit) server using BitTorrent Sync 1.1.48 [btsync_x64.tar.gz] Client:: I'm using the OSX Bittorrent Sync 1.1.48 (1.1.48) client. Problem:: I've been able to get client and server both running, I've been able to connect and configure the server using the Web UI, and I've (after that didn't sync - see config JSON given below) also tried setting up the server using a sync.conf file too. I've got no error messages. The problem is that they just won't see each other/sync, so I suspect it's a firewall/router issue. I've included my iptables rules below. I've done all the regular stuff with setting up sharing (generating a hash, adding it on both servers etc), but just nothing starts up. I'd sure appreciate it if anyone could just check there's nothing obvious that I might have missed. More info: Here is my sync.conf file, which I am loading like so: ~/.btsync/btsync --config ~/.btsync/sync.conf (comments removed) sync.conf file: { "device_name": "Capsicum Sync Server", "listening_port" : 44738, "storage_path" : "/home/ian/.btsync", "check_for_updates" : true, "use_upnp" : true, "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0, "webui" : { // "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "login" : "admin", "password" : "password" } , "shared_folders" : [ { "secret" : "ADDK4FEGH3LY7JEJ5ZCXWUKDCSVSQZTZL", "dir" : "/home/ian/BTSync_two", "use_relay_server" : true, "use_tracker" : true, "use_dht" : true, "search_lan" : false, "use_sync_trash" : true, "known_hosts" : [ "46.165.251.69:51547" ] } ] } MY IPTABLES RULES: *filter # Allows all loopback (lo0) traffic and drop all traffic to 127/8 that doesn't use lo0 -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT ! -i lo -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j REJECT # Accepts all established inbound connections -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # Allows all outbound traffic # You can modify this to only allow certain traffic -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT # Allows HTTP and HTTPS connections from anywhere (the normal ports for websites) -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT # Allows SSH connections # # THE -dport NUMBER IS THE SAME ONE YOU SET UP IN THE SSHD_CONFIG FILE # -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -j ACCEPT # Allow ping -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT # btsync: -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3838 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp --dport 3838 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 44738 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp --dport 44738 -j ACCEPT # log iptables denied calls -A INPUT -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7 # Reject all other inbound - default deny unless explicitly allowed policy -A INPUT -j REJECT -A FORWARD -j REJECT COMMIT "Please let Sync collect logs for at least 15 minutes to get enough information." OK - I've attached these files, both for the server and the OSX client. (after enabling debugging with echo "FFFF" > .sync/debug.txt on the server). Note, I'm seeing this on OSX - does this mean it's at least *seeing* the server: Here's hopefully.. Ian, @id iptables_rules.txt osx-sync.log.txt server-sync.log.txt
