jdub Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I want sync to remove files from my source server when they are moved out of the sync folder on the destination server. I have read and write key copied and both devices are syncing. However when I remove a file from the sync folder on the destination device it does not remove it from the source device and just tries to sync another copy. Am I just doing it wrong or is this not how sync works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Actually I think it is working the way I want it to now. I do not know what changed but Im good with it. I would move or delete a file and then a new .bts file would show up of the same file I just removed. but as I said I do not know what changed but its doing what I want. One follow up question though. If I am syncing a directory with files inside of it, and the sync has completed. If I move the files out of the directory and leave an empty directory, should btsync resync the files to the directory or do nothing? I would think it would remove the files from the source leaving only an empty directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disabling selective sync will mean that .bts files are not created 3 hours ago, jdub said: One follow up question though.

If you're syncing between two devices (that are setup as a two-way sync), then if you remove files from one, they will then be removed (or moved to .sync\Archive) on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
