  2. Generate Folder Key Outside Web Interface On Ubuntu Server 14.04

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    First post here - I have searched around a bit but can't find the answer to this question -

     

    I've just installed Bittorrent Sync on my headless Ubuntu Server 14.04 using the apt-get method.

     

    All is running fine and I can sync a folder for which I have an existing key (generated on another machine) succesfully by editing /etc/btsync/myinstance.conf to share a specific folder and copying in that existing key.

     

    Now, what I want to do is to CREATE a newly shared folder on my Ubuntu box, and generate a new key. I've not got the web UI enabled currently and as I'm working remotely I can't enable the necessary port forwards to make that work for a few days yet.

     

    Is there a way to generate a new folder key using terminal-only means?

     

    I've tried

    btsync --generate-key

    and

    ./btsync --generate-key

    as found on several tutorials/forums, but I only get

    btsync: command not found.

    Apologies if this is very straightforward, I just can't quite find the solution to this...

     

    Many thanks!
