bobmax48 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am using BitTorrent Sync to keep my Motion Templates folder updated on several computers that I use for editing video. I want my laptop to be the master and all of the other computers to just have the same items in their copy of the Motion Templates. I understand that the Read-only secret is used to make a folder be a slave but I am not sure how to implement it. On both the master and the slave they have the same Read Only secret entered in the preference. So how do I use the secret, what do I have to do to make this work?

bobmax48 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes I have and it does not tell how to use the Read Only secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Page 9 of the User Guide outlines how to use a Read Only secret and goes on to explain;"Read only secret ... is used for one-way synchronization. It means that any folder with a read-only secret will be fully synced, but changes made in it will not be reflected in the folders operated by a master secret."

bobmax48 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I did not create the Read only secret, it just showed up in the preference once I copied in the Shared secret. Why is it then on both the master and the slave? An if I didn't want the folder to be a Read only what would I do to make it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiringminds Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Is there a way to make a folder a slave using a Read Only Secret in the config file or can it only be done via the Web UI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
