  1. Peering Stay In Pending Approval

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I have upgraded the system to the new btsync 2. was all working great on version 1.4

    I have a ReadyNAS that is the owner of the folder I sync. now version 2.

    I have 2 PC one windows 8.1 and other windows 7 link to the NAS on a LAN and they are both peered and syncing.

    I am trying to peer a third machine but it is stuck in 'Pending Approval' this happen when I set a un-tick the 'New peers I invite must be approved by me'. I also trying it with the box tick and it ask for approval in the NAS but still stays as 'Pending Approval'

     

    On the NAS in the peersing list I get :-

     

    activity = offline 

    User = correctusername

    Devices = 0 of 0

    permission = read & write

     

     

    Any ideas

  6. Known Files Naming Characters That Will Not Sync Between Platforms

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I am using BTsync on windows NAS and Android Phone.

     

    I am having trouble with the sync over to the android Phone from both my ReadyNAS and windows 7 and 8 PC

     

    I am not sure where to get the Btsync logs of the android phone so I can check were the files are not syncing.

     

    Some files have sync and there are files in the peer list of the NAS and PC machine.

    I will be retrieving the android phone from off-site to check it and will give an update tomorrow

  10. Advanced / More Options

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Got a answer for this thanks  RomanZ

     

    http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/32509-latest-desktop-build-14103/?p=95601

     

    If you have SSH access to your NAS - it's rather easy. List the processes running (ps aux | grep btsync), see which config file was supplied to sync process, open it and add / modify "sync_trash_ttl" option. This option is not available for Android version of Sync (and actually no files are archived on mobile versions of Sync).

     

     

    Here is also a code with comments in : ( I am not sure is all the coding works on the NAS box )

     

    {   "device_name": "My Sync Device",// If listening_port is set to any value other than 0,// than this port will always be used even if you restart// the btsync. Othewise, if set to 0, then it will be a// random port number every time you restart btsync.  "listening_port" : 0,                       // 0 - randomize port  /* storage_path dir contains auxiliary app files   if no storage_path field: .sync dir created in the directory    where binary is located.   otherwise user-defined directory will be used.   Note: this is not the place where your actual files are saved   for your sync folder. This is only used for the databases   for your sync folders and various parameters and settings,   log files, etc.      The default location on Ubuntu is:      /var/lib/btsync   But it may be anything, as defined in your .conf file.*/  "storage_path" : "/home/user/.sync",// uncomment next line if you want to set location of pid file// "pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync/btsync.pid",  "check_for_updates" : true,   "use_upnp" : true,                              // use UPnP for port mapping/* Speed limits in kB/s   0 - no limit*/  "download_limit" : 0,  "upload_limit" : 0,/* remove "listen" field to disable WebUI.   remove "login" and "password" fields to disable credentials check*/  "webui" :  {    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",    "login" : "admin",    "password" : "password"  }/* !!! if you set shared folders in config file WebUI will be DISABLED !!!   Shared directories specified in config file   override the folders previously added from WebUI.      Note: There may be multiple folders defined in case you want   to include a number of different folders in the sync process.      The structure of the shared folder stuff is:      "shared_folders" :      [      {         shared folder 1 parameters in here         (copy paste the contents inside your current configand modify them to configure multiple folders).      },      {         shared folder 2 parameters in here      },      {         shared folder 3 parameters in here      }      ]   So, all you need to do is to copy the code block from your config   file which is enclosed by { } and paste it after   the existing one using a comma to separate them.   Then it is just a case of editing the parameter values accordingly.   NB. Make sure you don't copy the full shared folder block   ie the square brackets. You just want the block inside.      Notice the commas after right curly braces (},)   at the end of each shared folder except of last one.   If you don't include the comma, after the brace,   you will get an error.   See: "Linux - Multiple shared Folders in config file" thread:http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/20920-linux-multiple-shared-folders-in-config-file/#entry55290   *//*  ,  "shared_folders" :  [    {//  use --generate-secret in command line to create new secret      "secret" : "MY_SECRET_1",                   // * required field// dir is directory name of the sync folder.// It is where your actual sync files go.      "dir" : "/home/user/bittorrent/sync_test", // * required field//  use relay server when direct connection fails      "use_relay_server" : true,      "use_tracker" : true, // DHT is used if you do not want to rely on BT trackers// for any reason, such a security considerations for example.// Using the DHT protocol, btsync will broadcast the packets// to the entire net and all the nodes that have the same share// will respond with the lists of nodes they are connected to// on this share (main data folder or hash).// If you use DHT, then BT won't be able to interfere in peer// discovery for whatever reason they may decide to do it.// But then the other nodes with this share have to also// enable the DHT.// If you enable DHT and all the nodes that want to sync// with this share also have it enabled, then you do not// even need to set "use_tracker" : true.// But, unfortunately, the default configuration does NOT// enable the DHT by default.

Sync will then no longer// connect to any remote devices (outside your local network).      "known_hosts" :      [        "192.168.1.2:44444", "10.10.0.10:55555"      ]    }  ]*/// Advanced preferences can be added to config file.// Info is available in BitTorrent Sync User Guide.// Here they are (block-commented out here):/*“disk_low_priority”: true“rate_limit_local_peers”: false“folder_rescan_interval”: 600“sync_max_time_diff”: 600“lan_encrypt_data”: true“sync_trash_ttl”: 30“lan_use_tcp”: false“send_buf_size”: 5“max_file_size_diff_for_patching”: 1000“recv_buf_size”: 5“max_file_size_for_versioning”: 1000*/}

     

    I am also not sure if you would need to add a "," to the ends of the advanced preference line just above ?? maybe RomanZ can answer this?

  11. 1.4.77 Issues On Readynas

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Posted

    I have it working on my readynas. and also 2 android mobile. and so windows machine. I am buying a raspberry PI to see if I can get it working off that. 

    The readynas work but crashed sometime. and I have found file corrupted with file size of 0.

    But found the original in the .sync / Archive folder.

    this is why I would like to set the "sync_trash_ttl" in all the unit to "0" while I am testing the system

     

    Version 2 will come to the NAS boxes last and I need this working !!!!

    I have set the sync_trash_ttl to a high number. so that I can recover files if need when I see that have been deleted. done this on the desktop machine anyway.

    But I can not do this on the readynas, do not know where.

    I started a post on the subject but have not get an answer as yet "Advanced / More Options"

     

    I have also notice that when I upgrade to the new version of the desktop software the "sync_trash_ttl" had reset to default "30"

    I am also have problem with version 1.4.77

    Looks like it keeps crashing and restarting and as others always out of sync. I have 4 windows PC and 2 smart phones aswell at the NAS.

    more worrying is that I am getting files replaced with file of 0-size and so corrupt. I can find the originals in the .sync folder but I am now getting worried that I will loss files/data before I notices this. I have alot of photo and PDF and many not look at then for months
