[Solved] Sync Configuration

[Creative Sync User]

I prefer to use non-webUI version of Sync and use the config file to setup shared folders and other parameters. Is it possible to configure "Power User Preferences" like Peer expiration, Journaling, File System Notifications, etc. through the config?

If you look at sample config file (./rslsync --dump-sample-config), at the bottom you will see 

/* Advanced preferences can be added to config file. Info is available at "http://help.getsync.com/customer/portal/articles/1902048-sync-advanced-preferences--more-options"
For example see folder_rescan_interval below */
//, "folder_rescan_interval" : "86400"

I think this answers your question - yes, it is possible.

Helen, that is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry for asking the obvious but thank you for the crisp and accurate answer

@Helen - the FAQ tells us how to download a sample file, however how do you export the current file and import it into another computer?
I can't seem to see the same sync.conf file in the Application Support directory (OSX)??

 

There are configurations it would be good to sync such as:

1. All the folder structures - is this possible?

2. Scheduling

 

If you copy the sync.conf file over to the AppSupport directory, then would it be safe to assume, any WebUI changes there would be reflected to the newly created sync.conf file or and either/or situation. Either you use WebUI OR sync.conf file, not combination of both?

Well, by default Sync does not run with a config file - you need to first create it and set up sync shares there. 

1. yes, 'shared_folders' section in Sync. you'll need to actually adjust the paths when copying  config to a remote peer.

2. no, scheduling is not supported.
