moeburn Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hey, I'm currently using BTSync to automatically copy the files from my little torrent-client-only Linux PC to my desktop Windows PC. I'd like to have the torrent-client-pc to automatically copy the files to my network drive, but my network drive is a generic USB harddrive attached to a WNDR3700v2 router, accessible through the samba-protocol, and I don't think there's any way to actually install a BTSync client on the router. I don't suppose BTSync has a samba-protocol file uploader as well? Because I don't know how else to automatically upload files using Linux, and BTSync was so easy to configure and set up. But if BTSync can't do it, perhaps you helpful forum members could point me in the right direction of how-to set up an automatic smb:// file uploader on Linux? Thanks for any help!

Xanza Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 You could add the external hard drive via samba as a network resource and map the drive as you would a normal hard drive, then simply setup BTSync on the local machine and have it sync to the network folder. But regardless, you still need to satisfy the necessities of the BTSync program, which requires two devices to create a viable network connection. So technically yes, this can be achieved, but only if you have more than one computer, or device compatible with BTSync, and is able to map networked drives.
