Sync files with root ownership

[rob_k.l.a]

Hi, syncthing is installed for a user but is it possible to enable syncthing to sync files owned by root too ?

Thnks

The user that owns the Syncthing process needs to have appropriate filesystem access to any files that you want to sync. What OS are you using on this Device?

The point is not the filesystem but the files themself

I’m using linux and sometime it happens that I need to sync root owned files, but syncthing returns error scanning them; I need to change ownership with the user one

I used the term “filesystem” perhaps inappropriately – I wanted to indicate both file and folder level permissions, which may be important depending.

If you’re using Linux you probably know how to change the permissions and ownership on your files. Rock on.

I know how to change permissions , anyway, I found another solution thnks anyway

I found an interesting thing, if I give to root owned files, permission 644 syncthing reads the files without error and sync them
