rcookerly Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have BTSync installed on my seedbox (server) and also on my home computer (MacBook Pro). Everything syncs perfectly, but when I delete something from my ruTorrent interface on my seedbox, those files don't get deleted from my home computer's sync folder. I set this folder to read only from my home computer's side and read/write on the seedbox side. Do I need to set both to have read/write permissions? Seems like read only should work unless I'm not understanding something correctly. Thanks in advance for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 @rcookerlyIf your home computer got RO folder - it won't be able to delete anything from seedbox or any other peers. You need to get RW permissions there. Then all changes done on your MBP will propagate to seedbox and other peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to delete FROM my MBP, I want to delete FROM my seedbox (which has RW access). Shouldn't it be deleting from my MBP if I'm doing things in that order? Thanks for the help!

RomanZ Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 @rcookerlyOh, got you. Well, yes, they should get deleted from your MBP... only if MBP did not change these files. If MBP changes some files, by default Sync is going to stop tracking them and won't update them with new changes done on RW peer (and won't delete). You can alter this behavior by setting the "Overwrite any changed files" checkbox on your MBP in folder preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
