Thanks for the clarification. But still have the question: When I try to set it up on my server running btsync w/ the web GUI, the web interface does not allow me to change the secret manually from an A to a D for the first character; it says "invalid secret." Is the only way to fix this to relinquish control of btsync using the web interface and use manual config files instead? Also, it seems that manual config files have a bug that restrict my use, stating the directory shared already exists. What are people doing to get around this? The error I'm getting: Error while adding folder /path/to/secret: Selected folder is already added to BitTorrent Sync.According to this thread (below) it is a bug that is currently unfixed. http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/20486-error-selected-folder-is-already-added-to-bittorrent-sync/ Thanks again.
