BB10 how to sync without the shit Blackberry Link...

Its just some days that I deleted the crap from BB, called 'Link', in fact I used it just to move (one way mirror) files from the desktop to the BB.

What I am using now is more 80s like,  but works way better than installing the crap from BB, its just sync via FTP ;-) , to be more precise I am using the lftp, its mainly for Linux, MacOSX version via macports, there is a pre-compiled version for windoze around.

On the BB10 I installed an FTP server app from the google play, I installed it via the Snap as I don't like the Amazon store that BB included by default.

The whole magic is a shell script like this (script for MacOSX) :

---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<

lftp -u USERNAME,PASSWORD -p PORT IP << EOF
set ftp:list-options -a

mirror -c -e -R ./files1 /accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/files1 --exclude *.bak
mirror -c -e -R ./Documents /accounts/1000/shared/documents --exclude
EOF

---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<

Its very simple, just pay attention to the paths and don't forget to put the correct PORT number.

the BB10 the paths are :
internal storage .............  /accounts/1000/shared/
(removable) sdcard  ......  /accounts/1000/removable/sdcard/

 
Also, you can exclude files by using the --exclude parameter, for example to avoid sync files like backup files.
