Dear all, good afternoon.
I have a Server configured with syncthing only to read mode and this machine synchronize on 60 other computers. My question is : How it sync? I mean it checks for changes and make the selected folder clone to the other computers. When i add a file, checking the rest computers and if no there , starts to send. BUT if i delete something on server side, will also delete on the clients?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it will. Synchronisation means that all new files, modifications to existing files, and deletions are pushed from one device to another (unless the folder type is Receive Only).
Thank you for your assistance ! Folder on server is “send only” . All clients are configured to “receive only” Is that correct configured?
Yes, this means that the server is the only one making changes, while the other devices receive them. Please keep in mind though that users on the other devices can still make manual modifications inside the folder (for whatever reason), they just won’t be synced anywhere else. You can override those on the server side with the “Override Changes” button in the Web GUI (or automatically via some kind of a custom script using the REST API).
