I've been using Syncthing for the past few days and it has been working flawlessly. One thing I haven't tried is syncing between Windows and UNIXes (macOS/Linux) - does anyone have experience around this? How do permissions work?
- qmmmur 5y agoI'm not sure what your concern is. Differences in how user space permissions are handled? You give synctjing read write access and it does its thing.
- Spivak 5y agoEither perfectly or not at all depending on what you want to do. You get file contents, modification time, mode bits on *nix’s, and the read only bit on Windows. So for you-to-you it’s seamless but if you want to sync shared-user directories then you lose most info.
- Macha 5y agoI have Windows, Android, and Linux devices in my shares, I've yet to encounter issues. Someone indicated they did have issues if you do a case only rename between a case sensitive (Linux) system and a case insensitive (Windows/Mac) one. I've never done this myself, but I guess that's one to run into. Also the usual caveats with any program, like that you won't be able to sync con.py to a Windows system, regardless of which program you use.
