I've been installing sync on XP boxes all day, and at least the version I have tells me that it will enable the localhost:8888 gui, I install firefox, connect to it, and it works just fine. 1.4.83 (sorry, original said 1.4.75) In fact, the web gui is easier to use and has one feature I need that the regular interface doesn't, which is being able to add a folder just knowing the key, w/o all this c/p crap. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the HTTP interface on a permanent basis, since the installer is obviously capable of it. And the headless versions have it as well, like on FreeNAS, etc. Even better I'd like it to not just listen on 127.0.0.1 and be accessible over our VPN.

Internal use server, no email client, I just want the darn RO key for the folder. Use I enable copy key, and get a link that I paste into a browser on a different machine, which then tells me I have to install sync 1.4 on this machine, which I don't want to have sync on, in order to continue. It's XP, so I had to install firefox in order to even surf the configuration gui, which is annoying, although understandable. Why is this so much harder than it used to be? I just want the darn key. I don't have a problem with additional functionality, but why take away something that was easy-peasy? Is there some configuration file or registry key I can extract it from? Why should I trust this https://link.getsync.com/#f=blahblah... to not log or abuse this data? Is there some transformation I can run this link through to get the keys? Sync has been a great tool for us, and I love it, but this kind of change is just complicating my life, and it makes me cranky. Thanks for any help.
