I have some more info about this case: I tried to run btysnc with --nodaemon option and there I was able to see it wasn't able to use the specified port 9003. I have no idea of the reason because the port isn't in use. I tried then to run it on the default port 8888 and the process doesn't die :-) /opt/btsync/btsync --nodaemon --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:9003 **** ERROR **** **** Unable to listen for HTTP traffic on port 9003. Exiting... netstat -l --tcp --numeric | grep 9003 /opt/btsync/btsync --nodaemon --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888 Unfortunately, when I access the web page, it asks me to create an identity, like it was the fist time I run the application. Here is the log when I tried to run btsync with --nodaemon on port 9003 and port 8888.

Thank you for the answer.

I have btsync 2.3.3. Since yesterday morning it stopped syncing. There has been also an issue with the virtual machine it's running on (debian 7.7. 64bit), but after reboot it should have start working again. I notice that if I run btsync by /opt/btsync/btsync --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:9003 no precess is running. Debug is enabled, so I got and check the log. The last rows are these: [15:19:22.273] Debug log mask has been set to FFFFFFFF [15:19:22.273] Features mask has been set to 0 [20160512 15:19:22.276] Configuration from file "" has been applied [20160512 15:19:22.318] ZIP: Can't locate [version] in zip, error -100.

Hi all, I'm running btsync on iOS 9.0.2. I wish to know the port used by btsync so I can forward it on my router. Correct me if I'm wrong, there's no way to set "do not use relay servers", right? Anyway, just for efficiency matters I wish to forward port(s) on my iPad. Bittorrent sync 2.3.2. Thank you.

Sorry, I don't have these devices anymore.

I'll make a test as soon as I can.

Thank you very much for the answer. Correct me if I'm worng: in case I have a copy of the rw key, I could simply remove the ro share on one of the pc and restore on it the rw key?

Hi, consider a windows client in a office. It's sharing a folder in read only (ro) with other pc(s). Call this pc "master". This pc stops working for any reason. I want to "convert" one of the other pc to master role. What should I do?

I just installed btsync 1.4.103 in two debin wheezy. I added a folder and edited the preferences. I re-open the preferences box to check and it's blank/empty (all the check boxes are without flag).

Great! In my case I need to sync 2 linux servers. Thank you! I suggest to insert this question in the FAQ.

Hi, I know there's the option 'folder_rescan_interval' but I was wondering if btsync is able to detect the changes in a directory (add, remove, change) of files and start syncing right away instead of on a interval base. I'm also curious to know what it may happen if I set folder_rescan_interval to 60 seconds 10 seconds 1 seconds I mean, what issues may I encounter? Thank you.

Don't enter the setting from the web ui or the port will change. You can check if it's listening on the right port by netstat -l --udp --numeric | grep <your port number> Ayway, today has been released the new version and it seems to fix this problem.

Here's an example { "device_name": "myPC", "listening_port" : 50263, // 0 - randomize port "use_upnp" : flase, "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 2048, "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888" // remove field to disable WebUI }}Save this to a file, e.g. sync.conf Start btsync using this file ./btsync --config sync.conf Check ./btsync --help To generate an example file with comments ./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf then edit sync.conf Every line that starts with // is a comment. Every line between /* and */ is a comment.

Thank you

btsync 1.4.71. If I press add folder, btsync crashes. After I go in settings/privacy and allow btsync to access camera and gallery, it doesn't creash!

I'm trying to sync a folder between a linux x86_64 1.4.91 and android 1.4.50. I doesn't work. In the log I see [20141013 11:06:01.253] Checking connection to 91.253.124.30:28865:TCP[20141013 11:06:01.253] Failed to open tunnel to 91.253.124.30:28865:TCPI tried both by wireless connection an mobile 3G. This topic seems to complain the same problem or similar one. About my setting (linux side) Use tracker server Store deleted files... Unchecked "Peers invite must be approved" Unchecked "Link will expire" I shared the folder in read only with android.

I installed 1.4.91 x86_64 on a debian wheezy. It lost all my old settings, but that's not so problematic for me. I need to set a precise listening port because of firewall reasons. I do it but once I close the settings windows and enter again, it shows a new random port. I also noticed that if I uncheck "Listening port", it checks it againg. I've been double checking file ownsership and permission. I also enabled debug but I see nothing in the log.

Ok, luckily I'm not using config file. Once activated I'll let you know if everything went straight forward or not :-) Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. Is there anything particular I have to take care before upgrade form 1.3 to 1.4 in my linux workstation? Usually I stop the process and overwrite 'btsync' file.

I have a pc with v1.3 and my mobile automatically upgraded to v1.4. Correct me if I'm wrong: they can't work together right? They need both to be 1.4.

Ok thank you. I didn't notice sync issues but I thought this message was an error and I wasn't able to see what was causing. Luckly it's not. This topic may be moved in general discussion. PS: error:<NULL> sounds bad to me; error: 0 sounds good.

What does that mean if I get this error in the log file? status:137 error:<NULL> meta:1 conns:1 io:0I'm syncing from btsync 1.3.105 linux amd64 (debian wheezy), to an iPad with btsync 1.3.40. I've been checking the permission and they are 744 for used id 1010. Btsync is running with user id 1010, so there should be no issues about permissions. File names do not have special characters, only some spaces and '-'.

bandwith limits also in the web linux gui

Thank you very much for your answer.

Hi all, I'm also searching the forum to know about nested syncing. May anybody answer and possibly add this to FAQ? Thank you.
