Add 'use Key' Advanced Setting To Ios Client (As On Android)


Recommended Posts

The new key exchange procedure for IOS-based devices looks like specific overcare for Apple users, as you can't get a key out of it directly. Instead, you're offered a "link" only.

 

That makes things uncomfortable for those who sync with Linux-based NASes, etc., older Sync versions (like the Windows XP one), where you may need to edit configuration files directly, that is, with no GUI or web interface (the latter looks like gets disabled in this case at that), or otherwise need to input a key manually.

 

A workaround for the predicament is here: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/31588-wont-use-getsynccom-link-for-sharing/

 

However, given that a key generated on IOS can be leaked easily anyway over an Android peer connection, would you please add a "Use key" option (as on Android version) to the IOS version as well, to enable also exporting a key as is, not just "links"?

 

Thanks!
