Getting Things Clear

hi

I have searched for below questions/posiblities, but I'd like to have it clear so here it goes again...

 

Let's say there are 3 devices using BTSync.

A is the 'server' a NAS. and a device B and C.

 

As the admin of the device A I would like to share files and stay in control.

 

- is it possible to unlink/disallow a folder from device B after you initially have send a 'secret'.

 

- is it possible to make sure that only B is allowed, and not someone that intercepts the secret (or got it forwared from an evil person  ;)  )

 

- is it possible to change write access as admin of device A to read only for device B (and keep device C as read write without having to send a new 'secret' to C)

 

- Am I correct to say: to use only your own connections you should set folder preferences to:

NOT use relay trackers.

NOT use tracker server

USE a predifined host (add your own 100% device A adress here)

 

-Additional question 1, which port is default? or howto change port for BTSync

-Additional question 2, how to be your own tracker, or am I missing that if you use predifined host, that host IS your private tracker.

 

Hopefully someone is so good to help me getting things clear.

 

BTSync is the future :)

- No

- No

- No (not quite sure what you are trying to say: A has RW, B only RO and C RW, then B and C's secret are different)

 

- Yes

 

- Default: random. The setting can be changed in the settings, look for "Listening port"

- Sort of, currently there is no other way.

- I tried to say:A has RW, and B has RW, and C has RW, Now A wants to change that B has only R.

Currently, A needs to generate new RW key and send it to C again to keep him as RW and to keep B out of RW. (B receives R-only key)

 

-cool

 

-thanks

-thanks

 

Thank you alot!!

 

Do you maybe know if something like that is on the roadmap?


ow, come to think of this.

If I use predifined host in a folder pair on B and C, I need to have a fixed port on A (100% device) am I right?

Device A is behind router with port mappings etc.
