19       When downloading individual files, these are placed into <path>. When
20       downloading folders, the contents of the folder are placed into
21       directory specified by <path>.

23       To export files, you can use Mega.nz web application, or megals(1)'s
24       --export option.
25

OPTIONS

27       --path <path>
28           Local directory to download to. Defaults to the current working
29           directory.
30
31           If <path> is -, remote file will be streamed to stdout.
32
33       --no-progress
34           Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when
35           streaming.
36
37       --print-names
38           Print names/paths of successfully downloaded files (one per line).
39
40       --choose-files
41           Print all files in a shared folder and choose which files or
42           subfolders to download. When choosing a subfolder, the entire
43           subfolder will be downloaded.
44
45       --disable-resume
46           Don’t resume downloads from partially dowloaded file. Default is to
47           resume.
48
49       --limit-speed <speed>
50           Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This option
51           overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit. When using
52           ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each
53           transfer individually.
54
55       --proxy <proxy>
56           Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides
57           config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl
58           documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html.
59           Some acceptable values are:
60
61           ·   none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
62
63           ·   socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
64
65           ·   socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
66               handled by the proxy
67
68       --config <path>
69           Load configuration from a file
70
71       --ignore-config-file
72           Disable loading .megarc
73
74       --debug [<options>]

76           may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg.

78
79           Available options are:
80
81           ·   http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug

83
84           ·   api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

REMOTE FILESYSTEM

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