jonathan_ou Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 While the Linux client is web UI only, there doesn't seem to be a web UI option for Mac or Windows. Is it possible to set up a web UI for Mac/Windows?I run a headless Mac server, so not having a web UI is kind of annoying for me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreatMarko Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Please read the Unofficial FAQ - there is no Web UI for Windows/Mac, as these have their own dedicated GUI's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonathan_ou Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks. I think it would be a good idea to have web UI available for all platforms, I believe this would solve some of CLI requests because you can SSH with port forwarding into the machine in order to access the web UI remotely (or just port forward 8888 to your machine on your router).Is this on the wish list? The wish list post is like 20+ pages or something, don't want to go through them all... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreatMarko Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks. I think it would be a good idea to have web UI available for all platformsI don't really see why you'd need a web UI if there's already a native UI? In order for Sync to be able to provide a web ui on Windows, it would need to also install/run a web server as well! - seems a bit over the top, considering you can already do everything via the native windows app!!Is this on the wish list? The wish list post is like 20+ pages or something, don't want to go through them all......you don't need to trawl through 20+ pages of the wishlist to find out if it's already been suggested, just suggest it there anyway! The developers are keeping tabs on how often certain features of requested... so the more times something's requested, the more likely it will be considered anyway.

notye Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think what he is referring to is like how couchpotato or sickbeard or sabnzb works with their webui.. you can control the program from your browser on another machine instead of remoting into that machine. If you are administering several machines operated by different users, then interuppting their workflow doesnt seem efficient if you can do it in the background.

A web UI would be great because I get the error "Sync does not support your web browser." thus I can no longer use the software. (Windows 7 64 & btsync 64bit). I have IE 11, firefox 33 and chrome 38... Edited November 30, 2014 by vsgxrhfk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sync does now have a Web UI on Windows 7 with IE11 installed - just run BTSync.exe with the "/webui" switch, and Sync will pop open in your default browser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
