dswd Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 BTSync opens a webserver at localhost:8888.But if you have Kubuntu, why don't you just install https://launchpad.net/~tuxpoldo/+archive/btsync ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idef1x Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 btsync default wants to write config settings in the directory of the binary location. Normaly in /usr/local/bin a normal user won't have access to write into it.Better use btsync --dump-sample-config to create a config for btsync and change the path to your liking (to at least were the user has write access). Start btsyn afterwards with the --config option.See btconf --help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
