## Run btsync_arm.tar.gz on non-root Android

How's btsync_arm.tar.gz run on a non-root [samsung S7560](http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphone/android-os/GT-S7560UWAXME)?

## Problem

Login to S7560 through SSHDroid from another device

ssh -p 2222 root@192.168.0.215

"./btsync --help" on S7560 return "Permission denied"

# the shell don't have root access

id

uid=10106(app_106) gid=10106(app_106) groups=1015(sdcard_rw),1023(media_rw),3003(inet)

# system information

uname -a

Linux localhost 3.0.8-1224927 #1 PREEMPT Tue Jun 4 18:13:02 KST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux

# run btsync

wget http://download-lb.utorrent.com/endpoint/btsync/os/linux-arm/track/stable -O btsync_arm.tar.gz

tar vxzf btsync_arm.tar.gz btsync

./btsync --help

sh: ./btsync: Permission denied

## Reason

The reason to run btsync_arm.tar.gz rather than the Android app is

* administration through http://192.168.0.215:8888 is faster than through a touch screen or TeamViewer QS (the Android app don't allow HTTP administration)

* option to enable "Folder Preferences > General > Store deleted files in SyncArchive" (the Android app don't allow the SyncArchive option)

## Root

Does it work with root access?, because

* according to [1clickroot S7560](https://www.google.com/search?q=1clickroot+S7560) it's safe to root S7560

The device in the topic "Problem" isn't rooted because the owner don't have knowledge about what 1clickroot does (i.o.w. the probability for a non-reversible problem)
