29
30       -n , --dryrun

37              Generate and upload file previews,  when  uploading  new  files.
38              This  is the default, unless you changed it in the configuration
39              file. Use this to override the  option  from  the  configuration
40              file.
41
42       --disable-previews
43              Don’t  generate and upload file previews. Default is to generate
44              previews.

67
68       --proxy <proxy>
69              Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz.  This  option  overrides

72              LOPT_PROXY.html⟩.  Some acceptable values are:
73
74              • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.

83              tions.  You have to specify IP address bound to some of your lo‐
84              cal network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
85
86       --ip-proto <proto>
87              Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4,  v6,
88              or  any).   This is just an advisory option.  Megatools will re‐
89              solve mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based  on
90              the stated preference.

102
103              Available options are:
104
105              • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
106                connection/proxy issues)
107
108              • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
109
110              • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to  actually
111                print something)
112
113              • cache: Dump cache contents
114
115              • tman: Dump transfer manager events

128

REMOTE FILESYSTEM

130       Mega.nz  filesystem is represented as a tree of nodes of various types.
131       Nodes are identified by a 8  character  node  handles  (eg.  7Fdi3ZjC).
132       Structure of the filesystem is not encrypted.
133
134       Megatools  maps  node  tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths
135       (eg.  /Root/SomeFile.DAT).
136
137       NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the  directory
138       can  have  the  same  name. To allow access to such files, the names of
139       conflicting files are extended by appending dot and their  node  handle
140       like this:
141
142       /Root/conflictingfile
143       /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
144       /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD
145
146       You need to be aware of several special folders:
147
148       /Root  Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.
149
150       /Trash Trash  directory  where  Mega.nz web client moves deleted files.
151              This directory is not used by megatools when removing files.
152
153       /Inbox Not sure.
154
155       /Contacts
156              Directory containing subdirectories representing  your  contacts
157              list.  If  you  want  to add contacts to the list, simply create
158              subdirectory named after the contact you want to add.
159
160       /Contacts/<email>
161              Directories representing individual contacts  in  your  contacts
162              list.  These directories contain folders that others shared with
163              you. All shared files are read-only, at the moment.
