Installing BTSync properly on Debian
Download the appropriate version of BitTorrent Sync and open a terminal on your Download directory. The archives have various names, so I’ll just use a generic one. First, extract the executable.
tar xf btsync.tar.gz Then, move it to the user binaries folder.
sudo mv btsync /usr/bin Now, open up your scheduling configuration.
crontab -e To the bottom of the file, add this:
@reboot btsync --config ~/.config/btsync/btsync.json Exit the editor. Now, create the folder and the file. Choose a port and change it to something you like (the “listen” attribute under “webui”). You may also add “username” and “password” to this, although you don’t have to.
