Tutorial: Computer-Computer syncing over LAN
This tutorial will teach you how to set up B-Folders on two
computers connected to the same local area network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
1. Check the firewall on the computer
When you start B-Folders for the first time, the
firewall on Windows will normally show a pop-up window asking you
whether to
allow B-Folders to access the network. You must allow B-Folders to
access both private and public networks. If you have blocked B-Folders
somehow or you are not sure, check your firewall settings. Make
sure B-Folders is added to the program exception list and that the
exception
is enabled (the corresponding checkbox is checked).
2. Automatic discovery
Wait for up to 3 seconds and the two computers should discover each
other - you should see the name of the other peer in the peer lists of
each
computer.
3. Initiate a sync session
Click on the peer icon in the peer list that
you wish to sync with.
NOTE: The database of the peer initiating the sync session must be
unlocked. The database of the peer accepting the sync session can be
either locked or unlocked.
If you experience any problems, check B-Folders
Sync FAQ and troubleshooting or contact Support.
