  1. Have you tried adding the names of the sub-directories client1 doesn't want to sync to its .SyncIgnore file?
  2. The only firewall I'm using is the built-in OS X firewall. The Macs are on the same subnet. The folders with "Use relay server ..." disabled sync correctly over the LAN. The folder with "Use relay server ..." enabled usually syncs correctly via LAN. It's only from time to time that I notice it has a cloud icon, indicating use of a relay server. FYI, I have "Use NAT UPnP port mapping" disabled, which obviously shouldn't affect LAN connections, but I thought I should mention it.
  3. I just installed BTSync on my iPod Touch to try out the Camera Roll backup feature. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to view the secret, so I can't create the sync on my Mac. The only option is to email the secret, but I don't have any email accounts set up on the device. I prefer just to login to Gmail in Safari.
  4. I'm syncing two folders between a Mac mini and an iMac, both running OS X Mavericks. The same two folders are also syncing to a VPS. Recently I noticed a cloud icon next to the iMac syncs in the devices list, indicating that a relay server was being used for those syncs. At the time both machines were running 1.3.94. Restarting BTSync fixes the problem, but eventually it reappears. On a hunch, last week I disabled the use of relay server for one of the two folders. Both machines are now running 1.3.106, and just today I noticed the cloud icon next to the iMac for the folder that's allowed to use a relay server. The other folder has no cloud icon. I have a feeling this may be related to one or other machine going to sleep. I would like to be able to allow all devices to use a relay server when necessary, but for now I feel compelled to turn off that option to prevent unnecessary use of a relay server.
  5. If the number of folders in the sync is large, you might need to ask the SA to tweak the inotify settings. If not, you can ignore this suggestion.
  6. There are files that BTSync ignores by default. Take a look at the .SyncIgnore file in the root of the synced folder.
  7. If I understand your question correctly, you're trying to sync two folders from one device. BTSync is designed to sync folders between devices. To achieve what you want, you would need to install BTSync on your NAS.
  8. Thanks so much for building, maintaining and supporting these packages. You're adding immense value to the official Linux binary release, and saving this husband-and-wife web development team significant time and trouble.
  9. Paths in .SyncIgnore are relative to the root of the sync folder, so if you're syncing /Users/Chris, to exclude /Users/Chris/Library from the sync, put the following line in the .SyncIgnore in /Users/Chris: /Librarywhich means "ignore Library in the root of the sync folder".
