This article will guide you through the install and setup process for launching a BitTorrent Sync Client/Server on a high performance SSD VPS at AKLWEB HOST.

Requirements:

• Putty SSH Client
• >=768MBRAM VPS Server With CentOS 6 x64 Installed.

Install BitTorrent Sync

Login To Your New Ubuntu 14.04 VPS Server at AKLWEB HOST via SSH and run the following commands

apt-get -y install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
apt-get update
apt-get -y install btsync

Steps for Install Menu:

• select “btsync” user from the menu
• select “default” for the sync daemon group
• set niceness to 0
• Unless you have additional IP’s on your instance it’s ok to hit enter to “0.0.0.0”
• Set the port to listen on (Default: 8888)
• Should BitTorrent Sync only allow SSL? <No> is ok here.

Make the directory(ies) to store your sync’d files

We will use “/btsync” for this example.

mkdir /btsync
#set ownership to btsync user
chown btsync /btsync

You are now ready to start using BitTorrent Sync!

Access the control panel via http://(server ip address):8888
