DESCRIPTION

14
15       NOTE: If you want to download entire directories, use megacopy(1).
16

OPTIONS

18       --path <path>
19           Local path to download to. If this path is a directory, files are
20           placed into the directory. If this path doesn’t exist, and it’s
21           parent directory does, the file will be downloaded to a specified
22           file (this only works if you specify exactly one remote path).
23
24           If <path> is -, remote file will be streamed to stdout.
25
26       --no-progress
27           Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when
28           streaming.
29
30       --disable-resume
31           Don’t resume downloads from partially dowloaded file. Default is to
32           resume.
33
34       -u <email>, --username <email>
35           Account username (email)
36
37       -p <password>, --password <password>
38           Account password
39
40       --no-ask-password
41           Never ask interactively for a password
42
43       --reload
44           Reload filesystem cache
45
46       --limit-speed <speed>
47           Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This option
48           overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit. When using
49           ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each
50           transfer individually.
51
52       --proxy <proxy>
53           Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides
54           config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl
55           documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html.
56           Some acceptable values are:
57
58           ·   none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
59
60           ·   socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
61
62           ·   socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
63               handled by the proxy
64
65       --config <path>
66           Load configuration from a file
67
68       --ignore-config-file
69           Disable loading .megarc
70
71       --debug [<options>]
72           Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation. You
73           may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg.
74           --debug api,fs)
75
76           Available options are:
77
78           ·   http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
79               connection/proxy issues)
80
81           ·   api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
82
83           ·   fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually
84               print something)
85
86           ·   cache: Dump cache contents
87
88           ·   tman: Dump transfer manager events
89
90       --version
91           Show version information
92
93       <remotepaths>

REMOTE FILESYSTEM

113       Mega.nz filesystem is represented as a tree of nodes of various types.
114       Nodes are identified by a 8 character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC).
115       Structure of the filesystem is not encrypted.
116
117       Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths
118       (eg. /Root/SomeFile.DAT).
119
120       NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory
121       can have the same name. To allow access to such files, the names of
122       conflicting files are extended by appending dot and their node handle
123       like this:
124
125           /Root/conflictingfile
126           /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
127           /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD
128
129       You need to be aware of several special folders:
130
131       /Root
132           Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.
133
134       /Trash
135           Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files. This
136           directory is not used by megatools when removing files.
137
138       /Inbox
139           Not sure.
140
141       /Contacts
142           Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts
143           list. If you want to add contacts to the list, simply create
144           subdirectory named after the contact you want to add.
145
146       /Contacts/<email>
147           Directories representing individual contacts in your contacts list.
148           These directories contain folders that others shared with you. All
149           shared files are read-only, at the moment.
