Thank you for your prompt reply. I looked at the link and watched the video and both tell me to register a domain name. ? Is this really the path to Resilio nirvana? It makes little sense to a home user.

I have installed Resilio (Synology 7.2) and getting issues with the certificate and login / password request. I never entered anything at the install so this boggled me. Anyway, trying the above solution but confused about the step about : > Copied cert.pem and privkey.pem (own trusted certificate) into sub-folder cert. Do I need to create a new certificate (frankly tried and failed. if this is the route, I need steps!) or are these files located somewhere on my Synology to copy over? I never had to deal with certificates before nor did I find any files for it. All help appreciated. Thanks! merci! it's Fondue time!

ok, I follow you. I apologize for my ignorance on switching to rslync. I tried to do a su rslsync@server and it said I didn’t give a password. I tried searching the interwebs for a standard password to no avail. not that I would know if it had access to the NAS, anyway. could you kindly walk me through the process of switching users and then seeing if it has access? earlier I achieved access with SSH to the NAS, for what its worth. I am a bit frustrated and really want to test out this product. But frankly speaking, when I set up BitTorrent on the mac, it was self explanatory. I don't understand why this is so complicated on the Linux.... and why this needs to be done manually, or wasn't in the set-up link that was provided...

YES. I will have to get back to you on how it was mounted but basically it's another harddrive. sometimes when I boot up, I have to issue a sudo mount -a to get it to mount properly. otherwise it looks like a local drive. I also find it in my media subdirectory. I am trying to reach the guy who installed it to get a more technical reply. He said the method he did was better than a local network access, more stable. I have never had issues accessing the NAS HDD with permission issues (as long as it was mounted), so I doubt if permission is the issue. that being said, I could not even add a folder from the internal hard drive when I tried to test that out. I think that brings us back to the original editing of a config file - could it be some sort of issue on the config.json file?

RomanZ, Thanks again for your continued assistance. Resilio Install: I followed the instructions for Debian based systems as per the web site link previously advised. There was no custom install, believe me. I ran the ps aux command line and got this back rslsync 1068 0.3 0.1 500988 13228 ? Ssl 10:41 0:04 /usr/bin/rslsync --config /etc/resilio-sync/config.json kodak 3085 0.0 0.0 15168 2612 pts/5 S+ 11:08 0:00 grep --color=auto rslsync (kodak is my system name) so ... if you scroll back to the previous post of mine, I have printed out the content of the config.json. TYFYC

thoughts?

under /etc/resilio-sync there are a couple files , this one looks close to what you suggest; config.json { "storage_path" : "/var/lib/resilio-sync/", "pid_file" : "/var/run/resilio-sync/sync.pid", "agree_to_EULA": "yes", "webui" : { "listen" : "127.0.0.1:8888" } } ... edit to read "storage_path" : "/", ?? the other file is user_config.json { "storage_path" : "{HOME}/.config/resilio-sync/storage", "pid_file" : "{HOME}/.config/resilio-sync/sync.pid", "agree_to_EULA": "yes", "webui" : { "listen" : "127.0.0.1:8888" } } THE THIRD file is init_user_config.sh #!/bin/sh mkdir -p $HOME/.config/resilio-sync BTSYNC_STORAGE=$HOME/.config/btsync/storage RESILIO_STORAGE=$HOME/.config/resilio-sync/storage CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.config/resilio-sync/config.json if [ -d ${BTSYNC_STORAGE} ] && [ ! -d ${RESILIO_STORAGE} ]; then # Copy btsync storage folder cp -r ${BTSYNC_STORAGE} ${RESILIO_STORAGE} else mkdir -p ${RESILIO_STORAGE} fi if [ ! -f ${CONFIG_PATH} ]; then sed -e "s|{HOME}|$HOME|g" /etc/resilio-sync/user_config.json > ${CONFIG_PATH} ?

Thank you Helen and Roman for your continued efforts to help me resolve this issue. I feel like such a N00B not being able to find it. Not without effort in trying. I cannot find any file system tree even close to the above. nor any file on my system labeled sync.conf . to be clear, I installed based on the instructions for a debian based Linux as per this link https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/206178924 first partition ; all the system files and installed programs second partition - temp files NAS SERVER main location of my files shared on my network. This is the only thing under /mnt on my Linux computer. from here, I want to back up some folders with Resilio Sync. Also, I highly doubt it's a posix permissions issue because everything else I do on the system access, reads, writes, adds new directories, deletes, etc. without issue.

... because my usr/local doesnt have the tree you suggested total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 games drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 include drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mär 28 2016 man -> share/man drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 sbin drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 share drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Okt 21 2015 src

do you mean this file? #!/bin/sh mkdir -p $HOME/.config/resilio-sync BTSYNC_STORAGE=$HOME/.config/btsync/storage RESILIO_STORAGE=$HOME/.config/resilio-sync/storage CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.config/resilio-sync/config.json if [ -d ${BTSYNC_STORAGE} ] && [ ! -d ${RESILIO_STORAGE} ]; then # Copy btsync storage folder cp -r ${BTSYNC_STORAGE} ${RESILIO_STORAGE} else mkdir -p ${RESILIO_STORAGE} fi if [ ! -f ${CONFIG_PATH} ]; then sed -e "s|{HOME}|$HOME|g" /etc/resilio-sync/user_config.json > ${CONFIG_PATH} fi

Syno? I don't follow. My NAS is WD cloud.

I am running Ubuntu 15.10 and just installed Resilio to sync some folders from my LAN connected NAS over the web. When I try to add a folder from the NAS, it gives me the error "Don't have permissions to write to selected folder" Any help? TYFYC Fondue
