Dropbox su Centos file server

Base:http://www.dropboxwiki.com/Text_Based_Linux_Install

cd

Stable 32-bit:

wget -O dropbox.tar.gz "http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86"

Stable 64-bit:

wget -O dropbox.tar.gz "http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86_64"

Sanity check to make sure we're not going to clog our home directory.

tar -tzf dropbox.tar.gz

Extract

tar -xvzf dropbox.tar.gz

Make sure the LANG environment variable is set to something other than NULL, e.g. en_US.iso88591. If it is NULL, you'll get a cryptic error.
Run dropboxd

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

You should see output like this:

This client is not linked to any account... Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=7d44a557aa58f285f2da0x67334d02c1 to link this machine.

dropboxd will create a ~/Dropbox folder and start synchronizing it after this step! Go to the URL given; you should see a success message at the top of your screen.

Eseguire fino a quando appare il link per agganciare il pc all'account.

Lasciare la riga che dia errore in continuo.

Copiare il link ed incolarlo in windows browser, dare la password dell'account dropbox.

Se tutto regolare si ferma dicendo "Client successfull linked, wencome <nome>"

Viene creata una cartella Dropbox ed inizia a sincronizzare.
