arashster Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 How can I convert a computer in one of the swarms from Full sync to read-only sync? (The computer is running Linux and using the linux btsync). I can't change the secret to a read-only secret.What's the proper way about going about this? I don't want to have to redownload everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I can't change the secret to a read-only secret.You should be able to - it's only when a folder already has a read-only secret that the only way to change it is to remove the folder from Sync and re-add it again with the new secret. But if it has a full-access secret, you should be able to just change the secret at any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTheSync Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 This "seems" to not working here on 1.1.48 on linux.What I do:I log to the Webinterface, go to the full-access secret in the "advanced"-tab (via the gear-wheel) and change it to the read-only secret I copied from my Windows-PC (which is the same read only secret as shown in the advanced-tab on the webinterface) and pressed NEW, or just OK.After a click on OK and a while, sometimes a message like "cannot show advanced tab for read-only secrets" comes up, sometimes the folder preferences window just close.When I open the folder preferences again, I read the same secrets as before. nothing seems to have changed. I'd expected to read the read-only secret where I read the full-access secret before.I repeated the steps a few times, with no luck.Any ideas?
