Set Webui Port On Windows For 2.0

You can set/change the WebUI port by specifying it in a config file, and executing Sync with that config file.
 
i.e. your config file should look a little something like this:
 

{
  "storage_path" : "/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync",
  "webui" : {
    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888"
  }
}


Save it as, and then execute sync with a /config <path_to_config_file> command line switch. You'll only need to do this once in order to import the new WebUi settings into Sync.

One final comment; running multiple concurrent instances of Sync isn't recommended or indeed officially supported.

I'm using btsync on linux so I don't know how the config file situation is on windows, but on linux there is still a config file.

In that you have to / can set the WebUI settings (port, auth, ...), path for db storeage and other things.

 

What is not possible anymore with 2.0 folders is to config the shared folders themselves inside the config file.

If you set up folders inside the config file they can only be 1.4 ones and the WebUI will be disabled. That's probably what you read regarding 2.0 vs. config file.
