Linux - Multiple shared Folders in config file

[christophk]

Hello Everyone!

I can't get my head around how I can add multiple folders (with multiple secrets) to my configuration.

Currently my configuration looks like below and works fine.

It would be great if someone could give me a hint on how I could add another folder with another secret into the configuration.

File: /home/user/.btsync/sync.conf

{

"device_name": "MyDeviceName",

"listening_port" : 8888,

"storage_path" : "/home/user/.btsync",

"pid_file" : "/home/user/.btsync/btsync.pid",

"check_for_updates" : false,

"use_upnp" : false,

"download_limit" : 0,

"upload_limit" : 0,

"webui" : {

//"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",

"login" : "admin",

"password" : "password"

},

"shared_folders" :

[

{

"secret" : "mylonglongsecret",

"dir" : "/home/user/BTSync/Share",

"use_relay_server" : true,

"use_tracker" : true,

"use_dht" : false,

"search_lan" : false,

"use_sync_trash" : false,

"known_hosts" :

[

"192.168.1.2:8888"

]

}

]

}

Thanks a lot in advance!

Please see the Unofficial FAQ entry, "How do you define multiple shared folders in the config file?"

Thanks Marko!

I missed the "comma"...

Extract from the unoffical FAQ's:

The structure of the shared folder stuff is:

"shared_folders" :

[

{

shared folder 1 variables in here

},

{

shared folder 2 variables in here

},

{

shared folder 3 variables in here

}

]

So all you need to do is copy the code block from your config file which is encapsulated by { } and paste it after the existing one using a comma to separate them. Then it is just a case of editing the value accordingly.

NB. Make sure you don't copy the full shared folder block ie the square brackets. You just want the block inside.
