obarthelemy Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm having an issue with a read-only synch apparently going the wrong way. Setup:- My brother (in Canada) has set up a folder to be backed up, and sent me a one-time read-only secret to it- I've set up a Sync folder on my home server with that secret Problem:We've done an initial sync a few weeks ago (that took several days). Since then nothing has happened. Suddenly yesterday my server showed activity, and looking into it my server shows stuff UPLOADING, while my brother shows stuff DOWNLOADING. That shouldn't happen in that direction with a read-only synch ? I'm thinking he goofed and sent me a two-way secret ? Questions:0- the uploading (on my PC) and downloading (on his PC) status on the Transfert tab does mean that stuff is going from my PC to his, right ?1- is there any way I can check that folder is set up to synch one way, not both ways ?2- any other ideas ? A documented bug maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanous Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am having same issue. I have one master host, linux based, where i upload pdf files, then i have multiple hosts with ready only secrets. Some are linux based servers to provide multiple data source, rest OSX, Windows and mobile clients. This being on 1.1.42 on the linux side, the clients whatever they have - based on the auto update features. I will be updating to the latest version (1.2.73) now, hoping this will not repeat. Secrets are 100% read only. Are there more reports on read only sync going wrong way and is this something that has been addressed? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
