Dropbox on Fedora 16 Headless

(Some of this came from wiki.dropbox, but I can't find it there anymore...)

AS A USER, NOT ROOT, ssh to the server (without X11 forwarding), then:

echo DROPBOX_USERS="<insert user name here>" > /etc/sysconfig/dropbox.conf 

Fix file permissions: 

chmod 0644 /etc/sysconfig/dropbox.conf 

IN USER'S HOME: 

wget http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86_64 

Extract:

tar -xzvf dropbox*.tar.gz cd .dropbox-dist ./dropboxd # DO NOT HAVE X11 FORWARDING ENABLED when you run dropboxd

The first time it is run, it will ask you to visit a link to activate; copy the URL and visit in a browser on your desktop (doesn’t have to be on the server.) Once activated, in the terminal: 

^C to close dropboxd 

cd /lib/systemd/system 

Edit dropbox.service, and insert the following: UPDATED 3/31/2012

[Unit]Description=Dropbox
DaemonAfter=syslog.target network.target nmb.service

Enable the service for autostart and start the Dropbox service:

systemctl start dropbox.servicesystemctl status dropbox.service

To disable the service:

systemctl stop dropbox.servicesystemctl disable dropbox.service
