Usage

Dashboard​

The Dashboard lists files and folders on the remote server and the local machine. From here you can:

  • Queue items for transfer
  • Extract archives after download
  • Delete local or remote files
  • Track progress and status
  • Multi-select files using checkboxes, then apply bulk actions (queue, stop, delete)

AutoQueue​

AutoQueue can automatically queue new files discovered on the remote server.

  • Patterns only lets you limit auto-queueing to specific matches.
  • Auto extract automatically extracts archives after download completes.
  • Delete from remote automatically removes files from the remote server after download, keeping your seedbox from filling up. When both auto-extract and delete-from-remote are enabled, extraction always runs before deletion.
  • Patterns are managed from the AutoQueue page.

Staging Directory​

If you have a fast disk (NVMe/SSD) with limited space and a larger slow disk (HDD) for long-term storage, enable the staging directory feature under Settings. Downloads and extraction happen on the fast disk, then completed files are automatically moved to your final downloads folder for the Arrs or other tools to pick up.

See Configuration for setup details.

Dark Mode​

Use the theme toggle in the navbar to switch between light and dark mode. Your preference is saved in the browser.

Logs​

The Logs page provides real-time streaming logs. Use it to diagnose connectivity or permission issues.

You can also query historical logs with search and level filters via the log query interface.

Remote Diagnostics​

On first connection to a remote server, SeedSync automatically runs diagnostics and logs useful information about the server environment (shell, LFTP version, disk space, etc.). Check the Logs page after initial setup to review.

Path Pairs​

If you sync from multiple remote directories, configure Path Pairs in Settings. Each pair runs its own LFTP and scanner instance. See Configuration for details.

Integrity Check​

SeedSync can verify downloaded files match their remote originals using checksums.

  • Inline verification runs automatically during transfer (enabled by default via LFTP's xfer:verify).
  • Post-download validation is an optional second check that compares checksums via SSH after the file is on disk. Enable it in Settings under Integrity Check.

When post-download validation is enabled, a Validate button appears next to downloaded files. Click it to verify a file on demand. Files are marked Validated or Corrupt based on the result.

See Configuration for setup details.

Settings​

All connection, path, and automation options live under Settings. Changes take effect after a restart.
