dannydc Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi AllI'm finding BTSync really useful for a few different things. One use is to sync log files from a remote location to my PC. There are 30 log files, that loop through log00.csv to log30.csv, with a new file created each day (it's a terrible set-up for the log files but it's an industrial system and I can't change it). The process I've set up is:The log files are downloaded to a local PC.The log files are mirrored from the source folder to another folder using the robocopy /mir command.That mirrored folder is shared read-only by BTS.My PC syncs that folder, but it isn't syncing the files as they update. For example, one of the log files is now 12kB on the source PC but is 34kB (and older) on my PC.I've enabled debug logging and found this in the local PC's log:[2013-07-08 11:13:48] SyncFilesController: Update for invalidated file Logs\Log27.csv (R/O). SkippingAny ideas?TIADanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergey@bt Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 This message means file has been modified in read-only folder. Currently Sync does not overwrite such files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydc Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply.How can I reset it so that those files are updated? I'd like any changes on the downstream end (i.e. my PC) to be overwritten ideally. Do I need to remove the folders, generate a new secret and re-add or is there another step required?Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommmii Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 sorry for digging up an old thread. Does the above still apply ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proactiveservices Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think so, I've just found this thread whilst looking up "Update for invalidated file". Attributes, security ACLs etc. were all fine and I could read the file. Some UI warnings for this would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommmii Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think this has been partially addressed with the GUI option called "Restore modified files to original version" , which is a pretty self-explanatory option.You can find it on the "client" side of a read-only sync, in the Folders tab, right click a folder, preferences, it's there right above the secret.
