  1. Debian And Ubuntu Server Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I know about this ****ing *hit. Don't worry. The scripts are so careful about process control, that only one instance is started. I'm still investigating about it, but since it has no consequence, I'll consider it a minor problem... In any case... let's go the correct way. See Issue #166

    C'mon Dude! Are you kidding? "Waste some time" to do a

    ps ax | grep btsync
    ?
    Hey man, it's cool. I was just pointing this out to help you make your product even better. I'm a very happy btsync user, and your work regarding the packaging is absolutely vital and well appreciated. The phrase "Waste some time" was only used to build a case why the message was a "small nuisance". I assumed you where interested in some basic UX-feedback.

    No need to blow a fuse. You might scare off the next bug reporter.

  3. How Are People Using Sync 1.4?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I use btsync mainly for sharing files and for backup.

     

    For my phone it has rid me of using an USB cable for data transferring. I have synced my entire SDCard to a network share on a NAS. If I want to change some MP3's or video's on my phone, I just alter the network share and my NAS will then sync those changes to my phone. I always have my phones photos in reach. If I need to alter some config files of a random Android app, I use a text editor on a laptop. It's perfect. I love it.

  7. Restore Original Version Setting On Linux

    I am pretty sure you are wrong here. The read-only can't seed the files? It can't update the database? Either way it sounds like a bug...

     

    From the manual:

     

    Read only secret is generated on the 
    basis of the master secret and is used for 
    one-way synchronization. It means that 
    any folder with a read-only secret will be 
    fully synced, but changes made in it will 
    not be reflected in the folders operated by 
    a master secret. Also, it is not possible to 
    change secret for read only folders.

    Gio, you don't want to have a RO folder in that scenario at all. You need to see RO folders as one way streets: They can be updated, but they never update other machines. If you make the folder on the server RO it will only accept updates from other machines, but never propagate these updates. 

     

    In your case you want:

     

    Client1 (RW) <-> Server (RW) <-> Client2 (RW)

     

    Not:

     

    Client1 (RW) -> Server (RO) <- Client2 (RW)

     
    Otherwise Client1 and Client2 will never update each other unless they are both online at the same time.

    Lolcat, i assume OP is looking for the "restore modified files to original version" option, which you can find  the web interface under the folder preferences in the advanced tab. OP wants to know how to configure this without a (web) gui. Which is a perfectly reasonable question.

     

    Afaik this configuration setting is not documented.
