[Restrictive Firewall : How To Pass Through ?]

Hi, 

 

I'm using BtSync to sync my android smartphone, my Ubuntu laptop and a Ubuntu backup server.

 

The android phone and the laptop are behind a very restrictive firewall and can't sync with the Ubuntu backup server, and I'm looking for a solution. 

 

Here is a schema : 

 

 

What can I do to try pass this firewall, how can I test the port (to try to find one working) or have I to give up ?

 

With my laptop, I can reach the server with FTP, SSH, HTTP... Dropbox is working through this firewall.

 

Thanks !

Ok, my bad. Thanks for the reply.

[No Encryption Secret]

Are you attempting to use a previously generated secret (prior to using the API access) to get the encrypted secret for a folder?

 

Yes, I use the read/write secret of an existing folder in the URL (&secret=myexistingreadwritesecret)

[No Encryption Secret]

 Hi !

 

I'm trying the new encrypted peers feature. As described in the API documentation, we should get the 3 secrets with the url : 

http://[address]:[port]/api?method=get_secrets[&secret=(secret)&type=encryption]

The documentation can be found there : http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/developers/api (Chapter : "Get Secrets").

 

The problem is that when I try this, I only get two secrets, as you can see in the attached screenshot.

 

Whatever, good job and congrats to the team !

[Rights on a synchronized folder]

Hi,

 

I'm using BittorrentSync trough my VPN to synchronize my Android Phone and my laptop and it works well.

 

Today I started synchronization between my laptop and a dedicated server, for backup. The folders on the dedicated server are on a encrypted partition. The rights on synchronized folders are 771 but I would like them to be 700 (Or 200 if it's possible). How can I them the defaults rights for synchronized folders ?

 

I apologize for my English,

 

Thanks.
