File download location

[jocko]

Hi,

We develop an alternative firmware for LACIE NAS (ARM version) and we added support for resilio (http://plugout.net).

In your last  version, I see a new option "File download location".  Currently I do not understand the purpose of this option.

I did not find how to change the default value "/Resilio Sync" which is very bad on our fimrware. So How I can change this default value so that it may be right with our environment.

Anyhow I see this option handles the options "directory_root" and "directory_root_policy" set in the conf file as if the user wants to change the default value, the folder tree is built in accordance with these options.

Hi

So nobody here for giving information ?

I assume I may edit settings.dat on the option "files_default_path" by using the python script: btsync_edit_settings_w4.py

But sadly, the link http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/support/script/btsync_edit_settings_w4.py is broken.

How can I retrieve this file ?

Thank

Well, seems to be a bad way.

You use now an integrity check on settings

The file '/share/1004/btsync/settings.dat' was damaged or missing. It has been recovered.

and I assume by using the option '.fileguard'

So how can I prevent an overload on the system partition if the user does not change this default path value ?

I confirm the fact that "files_default_path" cannot be configured via config file now. Editing settings.dat is bad option - it is bencoded and protected in our internal format and we assume no one else changes it. We'll make it configurable in one of future builds.

Thank you, RomanZ for this feedback.

Temporarily, we will add a symlink "/Resilio Sync"  on the system partition towards /dev/null to avoid any overloading.

Otherwise, I did not find information on some "un-documented" config options. For example like  "display_new_version" or "context" which seems very handy or force_https, ...(or I did not succeed to find where they are available)

Is there somewhere an advanced doc for setting config file?

 

[RomanZ]

@jocko Only this document is available at the moment.

[jocko]

Thank you RomanZ.

At least the main settings are here. About option "context" I already know how to use it with the sub-option "folder_blacklist" but maybe there are other sub-options...

on version 2.5.2  (966), I also noted the link in  sample-config output (option --dump-sample-config) is down: "http://help.getsync.com/customer/portal/articles/1902048-sync-advanced-preferences--more-options"

Hi Helen,

Yes now after the page 404, the server redirects to the page 207371636.

So it is ok.

I see that version 2.5.4 allows now to configure this option via the config file

Thank you
