File Permissions Sync ?


Recommended Posts

Hi necula@cs.berkeley.edu,

 

Permissions are not synced by BTSync. Every file synced is created with the default permissions for the user account, which is running BTSync. The only exception is execute permission, which BTSync has to synchronise to keep executable file functionality.

These changes are with full-access secret. 

 

I did notice that if I add an executable file to one of the replicas, then the file is created on the other replicas as executable, but if I add the execute permissions to a file after it was added, this does not get propagated.  In fact, if I then make changes to the file, the execute permission bit is unset when changes are brought in from other replicas. 

 

This is a bug in the synchronization of the execute permissions.

 

Thanks, George.
