Setting Btsync Up So My Files Automatically Are Removed From Mac When Moving Files With Linux Server

Hello,

 

Quick question here.  Also, new to this forum and really like the advances in this sites tec have taken of late with  being the most impressive in my eyes.

 

My current set up is centos/linux digital ocean mac air. I have a non SSL (could not configure with after many tries) running for the VPN with my mac.  Ideally, what i want to do is make it so that my files are removed from my mac air as soon as the sync with the linux preventing my storage to be full.  Is it just a matter of me not disconnecting to the folder with the mac?  I tried to move the files out from the shared of the server to another folder on my ftp but it did not work and lost the files. 

 

Also, should i really look into setting up the ssl?  how do i know my current operation is safe?  any tests i can run to have peace of mind?  of course privacy is a concern and i'm not very tech.

 

any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If I understand you correctly you wish to be able to Sync from Device A to Device B, and once complete automatically remove files from Device A, retaining them on Device B?

 

If so, this functionality isn't currently possible, as Sync is designed primarily to keep files "In sync" across your devices rather than to "move files" between devices. However, you may wish to consider posting your idea in the Feature Requests forum.

 

In relation to security, there are a number of articles/topics on this subject. Try here and here and here.
