Syncthing
Syncthing is a free, open-source, peer-to-peer file synchronization application that's written in Go. It synchronizes files between two or more computers securely and seamlessly.
For more information, follow this link.
In this section, we'll be setting up Syncthing for the first time. For this guide, we'll assume you want to set up a folder on your Ultra.cc service as your "dropbox," which will be synced automatically to your Windows PC.
Prerequisites
- Download and install Syncthing on both your Ultra.cc service and the devices you prefer. You may refer to Syncthing Downloads to get which apps to use for your preferred platform. For this guide, we will be installing SyncTrazor along with Syncthing on the Ultra.cc service.
- Connect to your Ultra service via SSH and create a directory that will be used to sync data between your Ultra service and your local machine. For this guide, we will be creating a directory called
Syncthing. Also, get the absolute path of the directory by doingpwdas shown below.
docs@spica:~$ mkdir Syncthing
docs@spica:~$ ls
bin Downloads files media openvpn Syncthing watch www
docs@spica:~$ cd Syncthing/
docs@spica:~/Syncthing$ pwd
