NEXTCLOUDCMD(1) Nextcloud Client Manual NEXTCLOUDCMD(1) NAME nextcloudcmd - Command line Nextcloud client tool. nextcloudcmd(1) ---------- nextcloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir nextcloudurl nextcloudcmd is the command line tool used for the nextCloud file synchronization desktop utility. Contrary to the nextcloud(1) GUI client, nextcloudcmd only performs a single sync run and then exits. In so doing, nextcloudcmd replaces the ocsync binary used for the same purpose in earlier releases. A sync run synchronizes a single local directory using a WebDAV share on a remote nextCloud server. To invoke the command line client, provide the local and the remote repository: The first parameter is the local directory. The second parameter is the server URL. NOTE: Prior to the 1.6 release of nextcloudcmd, the tool only accepted owncloud:// or ownclouds:// in place of http:// and https:// as a scheme. See Examples for details. --path Overrides default remote root folder to a specific subfolder on the server(e.g.: /Documents would sync the Documents subfolder on the server) --user, -u [user] Use user as the login name. --password, -p [password] Use password as the password. -n Use netrc (5) for login. --non-interactive Do not prompt for questions. --silent, --s Inhibits verbose log output. --trust Trust any SSL certificate, including invalid ones. --httpproxy http://[user@pass:]: Uses server as HTTP proxy. --exclude [file] Exclude list file --unsyncedfolders [file] File containing the list of unsynced folders (selective sync) --max-sync-retries [n] Retries maximum n times (defaults to 3) -h Sync hidden files,do not ignore them To synchronize the nextCloud directory Music to the local directory media/music through a proxy listening on port 8080 on the gateway machine 192.168.178.1, the command line would be: $ nextcloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \ $HOME/media/music \ https://server/nextcloud nextcloudcmd will enquire user name and password, unless they have been specified on the command line or -n (see netrc(5)) has been passed. Using the legacy scheme, it would be: $ nextcloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \ $HOME/media/music \ ownclouds://server/nextcloud Please report bugs at https://github.com/nextcloud/client/issues. nextcloud(1) AUTHOR The Nextcloud developers COPYRIGHT 2013-2024, The Nextcloud developers 3.13 April 24, 2024 NEXTCLOUDCMD(1)
