Question About Sync's Config File

hey all,

 

I have a couple of questions regarding btsync's config file that I was wondering if any of you could help me with them?

 

 

1) does the "shared_folders" section in the config file refer to only directories on the machine or does it refer to local directories and all directories it should try and sync with?

 

for example, I have this in my config file :

 

....

 "shared_folders" :

  [

    {

      "secret" : "<my secret>",                   // * required field

      "dir" : "/sharedDir/", // * required field

       ......

    }

  ]

.... 

 

when I run btsync with this config file, will it just place that folder up for sharing or will it attempt to find another server that has that same the same folder and secret key and sync with that? 

 

2) Say I have a server called Server A. On server A, I run btsync and with the webui, I share a folder called "/serverA_shared/". Now I bring up a brand new server, called server B that does not use the webui, but I want to sync server A's "/serverA_shared/" directory. Is it possible using the config folders to tell server B to look at server A and sync "/serverA_shared/" to it?

 

3) How does approval work with out using the webui?

 

 

Thanks for any help in advance.
