<b>Bittorrent sync</b> |
||||
|
||||
For some long time I was looking for a way to synchonize my data between my |
||||
computers. I got a NAS and that was the place to store my data. When I was abroad |
||||
I had to rely on both internet connections, because all my files are stored |
||||
home. Today I got the invitation for Bittorrent chat. Sadly it was only for |
||||
windows users, but on the website I saw the application Bittorrent Sync. |
||||
|
||||
It's not open source, but apart from that, it works +---------+ |
||||
great! The application is made for Linux, BSD, Mac, | | |
||||
Windows and even iPhone an Android. How does it | Desktop | |
||||
work? | | |
||||
+---------+ |
||||
You start on a computer with a directory you want /\ |
||||
to share with other persons and/or computers. It / \ |
||||
will generate two key's for you. A read/write key / \ |
||||
and a read-only key. Feeding the read/write key to / home \ |
||||
my laptop starts the synchonization of my personal ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
||||
documents. When it was finished, I could write in / internet \ |
||||
one, and within a couple of minutes read the file / \ |
||||
on the other computer. If it's not able to sync, / \ |
||||
it waits till you got an internet connection. +---------+ +---------+ |
||||
| | | | |
||||
If your router got UPnP support and you are dumb | Laptop |----| iPhone | |
||||
enough to enable it (or not disable it), it even | | | | |
||||
works from abroad. Otherwise you can open the port +---------+ +---------+ |
||||
in your router yourself and set the same listing |
||||
port on you client. |
||||
|
||||
There is even support for temporary key's, just for one person to use within |
||||
24 hours. Now you can share your files with someone else, give people readaccess |
||||
on your pictures, work together on projects etc, etc. |
||||
|
||||
The only disadvantage is the fact that with N nodes in your virtual network, |
||||
all the data is stored N times. So it cost you some more disk space, but he, |
||||
redundancy comes with a price :-) |
