Using the root account can screw up permissions with the other devices trying to sync files. Now make sure you have access to all the directories you are trying to sync. This will recreate the ".sync" folder this time in your home directory and you will have to go back and remake all your shared keys. Run this again with the terminal in a normal user session in your home. you shouldn't need to have this under the root folder. Now move the btsync file you downloaded to your home folder. If you have run btsync as root you may need to use the terminal and delete this folder with root permissions sudo rm. Find the folder called ".sync" remove this folder. Where ever you are running this from hit ctl + h and show your hidden files. I think that it's the correct one for my architecture, here's what uname -a returns Linux fileserver 3.11.0-26-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:02: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxĮdit 3: Here's what file btsync returns btsync: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), BuildID=0xff654e3f8d393a11bc42f4e23cd96478fdda613c, strippedĮdit 4: Binary, not script, thanks Eliah Kagan, as it's pretty transparent I'm new to linux.

BITTORRENT SYNC FILE PERMISSIONS INSTALL
Last bit of, maybe, relevant info: a while back another user attempted (but messed up) to install btsync using apt-get which resulted not on btsync being installed, but this package which is not written by the same people and builds on btsync. This only seems to happen with btsync and not with other programs. Also my user, juan, is the owner of both the folder and btsync. I've already changed permission of both btsync the folder containing it to 777. Every time I try to run the bittorrent sync binary, downloaded from here, I get a permission denied error regardless whether try running it as my user or as root.
