    I have some folders I want to sync in read only mode. There are two things I seek to understand. 1. read only secret and read write secret 2. overwrite_changes option I have 4 systems these folders will be synced between. 1 (master) 3 (slaves). If a changes is made to a file on a slave I want it to be reverted to the origional on the next sync interval. Everything will be running on a headless system so i'm using the btsync.conf file. The master is a linux os, the 3 slaves are windows os. I have setup two seperate config files one for the server, and one for the slaves. Q1: Where do I put ("overwrite_changes" : true,) in the client config or server config? Q2: When setting up the server config file do I need both the read write and read only secrets in the shared folders section or can I just have the read only secret there? Here are examples config files Master: { "device_name" : "Master sync", "listening_port" : 1234, "storage_path" : "/home/btsync", "folder_rescan_interval": 60, "pid_file" : "/home/btsync/btsync.pid", "check_for_updates" : false, "use_upnp" : false, "shared_folders": [ { "secret" : "ReadWrite", "secret" : "ReadOnly", "dir" : "/home/btsync/folder_A", "use_relay_server": false, "use_tracker": false, "use_dht": false, "search_lan": false, "use_sync_trash": false, }, { "secret" : "ReadWrite", "secret" : "ReadOnly", "dir" : "/home/btsync/folder_B", "use_relay_server": false, "use_tracker": false, "use_dht": false, "search_lan": false, "use_sync_trash": false, } ] } Slave: { "listening_port" : 1234, "storage_path": "C:/Program Files (x86)/BitTorrent Sync", "folder_rescan_interval": 60, "use_gui": false, "check_for_updates" : false, "use_upnp" : false, "shared_folders": [ { "secret" : "ReadOnly", "dir" : "c:/BTSync/folder_A", "use_relay_server": false, "use_tracker": false, "use_dht": false, "search_lan": false, "use_sync_trash": false, "overwrite_changes" : true, "known_hosts": [ "MasterIP:1234" ] }, { "secret" : "ReadOnly", "dir" : "c:/BTSync/folder_B", "use_relay_server": false, "use_tracker": false, "use_dht": false, "search_lan": false, "use_sync_trash": false, "overwrite_changes" : true, "known_hosts": [ "MasterIP:1234" ] } ] }
