This is the preferred way to keep everything separate and organized so you don’t lose track of why each entry was added to the main sources.list file. Rather than editing the main sources.list file, this time we’re going to create a separate file to contain just the sources used by BitTorrent Sync. Edit apt-get’s list of sources to add the BitTorrent Sync repository. We’ve run into this kind of problem before, when we installed Webmin in Part 4. There is an apt-get package available for BitTorrent sync, but it’s not listed on the well-known public repositories yet. This post is going to be pretty short because, to be honest, the installation is dead simple. What you need is a node in your network that’s always on. You may want to share files between work and home, but by the time you get to work, your home computer will have fallen asleep and vice versa. The trouble is that in order for a file to travel from one computer to another, they both have to be up and running at the same time so that they can talk to each other. If you put something in a sync folder on one computer, it shows up in the sync folder on all of the other computers. Think of it as a peer-to-peer network where all of the peers belong to you (Your desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, etc). It’s a file synchronization application based on the BitTorrent protocol. The same people that brought you BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file sharing application, have created BitTorrent Sync. Or maybe you’re just looking for yet another thing for your Raspberry Pi to do. Perhaps you’re uncomfortable with that, even if they’ve promised that they won’t peek at it. One thing they all have in common is that a copy of your stuff is on someone else’s system. You have Microsoft’s Sky OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, and SpiderOak just to name a few. There are plenty of cloud sync solutions out there. If you don’t find the license.bin file, then you should be all set. Go look for it as instructed in the module.
Bittorrent sync remove folder license#
At the time of this update, the btsync coming from the Jessie repository still set up a license for me, so I still had to expire it manually.
Bittorrent sync remove folder pro#
This also means you don’t need to worry about setting up pro features accidentally.
Bittorrent sync remove folder trial#
It may no longer necessary to manually expire your license, as newer installations no longer opt you into the pro trial by default. Wheezy will still work, but I would expect Jessie to be more up to date. Updates: Change “wheezy” to “jessie” when setting up the source list.

Bittorrent sync remove folder series#
Self-promotion: I’ve recorded this series as a screencast for Pluralsight: This article is kept for historical reference, but should be considered out of date. Please refer to the new index for updated articles and ordering. I'll be happy to answer clarifying questions.A new version of this series has been published. Then again, perhaps bittorrent sync would still remove the files without using syncarchive, if this bug really is as serious as it seems to be? But I would hope that this would help somebody else in the future to not lose their valuable data. around 300GB of music & music videos, that have taken me 8 years to collect. They're not in either recycle bin, on either PC. Try to play some music and realise the files are gone. Can't figure out why - I had only deleted around 80GB the previous day.ħ. Woke up this morning and notice I have an awful lot of free space on my HDD. Unrelated to the files that are missing.Ħ. Deleted a 80GB folder from primary hard drive. Those files seem unrelated - they haven't been deleted.Ħ. Works fine for a few days, apart from some files that are "skipped due to bad timestamp". So I made the mistake of opting just to just put files in recycle bin.ĥ. My thinking was: what if I deleted 100GB from my primary HDD, and then copied another 100GB to it? The sync might fail, and that would create hassle. opt not to use the syncarchive folder, because I had about 30GB free on the drives. share the secret, pair the folders, allowing both to read/write/delete whatever.Ĥ. connect backup hard drive to an offsite PC.ģ. It keeps timestamps on all files, but not on folders. use puresync to sync the hard drives initially on the same PC. I certainly didn't delete the folder, on either drive.ġ.
Bittorrent sync remove folder how to#
I guess I should take you through what I did, because I have no clue how to reproduce what happened. BT sync is a nice piece of software, but it's inexplicably deleted the contents of an entire folder.
