Send and receive files securely over the internet<\/h3>\n

Presentation of the free and open source software Syncthing, allowing peer-to-peer file synchronization and its possible uses for videographers and photographers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is available on Windows, Linux, macOS as well as Android at this link: https:\/\/syncthing.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n

As always, a full list of the articles in this blog can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Interface overview<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/div>\n

Once installed and launched, the software will open a command window indicating the status of the connections as well as the application settings. If this command window is closed, Syncthing will shutdown and synchronization will stop.<\/p>\n

In addition, Syncthing will open a tab in the system's default browser, to open the GUI. This tab can be closed once configuration is complete and the software will continue to operate in the background.<\/p>\n

This user interface can be secured by a username and password which will be requested each time the software is started, useful if the computer is shared or is not secure.<\/p>\n

The GUI presents the different shared folders, information on the local state of synchronization and network data, as well as information on connected remote devices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Connecting to another device<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Sharing IDs<\/h5>\n

<\/div>\n

The first step is to connect both device with which you wish to send or synchronize data.<\/p>\n

The two devices must send each other their IDs and save them for the connection to be possible.<\/p>\n

Syncthing is a software designed for secure use, so no data will be exchanged without the target device having accepted the ID and folder share.<\/p>\n

This ID can be found in the Actions tab then Show my ID. A code like XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX will be displayed in the upper window. It is this code that must be shared between the two machines to establish the connection.
\nThe QRCode can be used for this purpose, as can sending the code by email, SMS or any other means of sharing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On each device: click on Add device. The window that opens allows you to enter the ID shared previously, as well as a nickname.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The second tab \u201cSharing\u201d shows all folders available for sharing. If none are available, it will be possible to create them later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The last \"Advanced\" tab contains connection information between the two devices, such as connection settings, data rate limits as well as a potentially useful option if the machine on which the data is synchronized is not secure: \"Untrusted\".<\/p>\n

With this option, the data will be encrypted and unreadable on the remote station without the password being entered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Connection settings<\/h5>\n

The two devices now know which Identifier to connect to, but they still need to be able to communicate whether via the local network or the Internet.<\/p>\n

By default, Syncthing offers several automatic ways to connect. These options are available in the Actions > Configuration > Connections tab:<\/p>\n
