6 megatools mkdir - Create remote folder under your Mega.nz account
7
9 megatools mkdir <remotepaths>...
10 megatools mkdir /Contacts/<contactemail>
11
13 Creates folders on Mega.nz.
14 As a special case, by creating a new folder under /Contacts, you’re
16 adding a <contactemail> to your contacts list.
17
19 -u <email> , --username <email>
20 Account username (email)
21 -p <password> , --password <password>

26 Never ask interactively for a password
27 --reload
29 Reload filesystem cache
30 --limit-speed <speed>
32 Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This
33 option overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit. When
34 using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to
35 each transfer individually.
36 --proxy <proxy>
38 Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides
39 config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl
40 documentation at ⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CUR‐
41 LOPT_PROXY.html⟩. Some acceptable values are:
42 • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
44 • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
46 • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
48 handled by the proxy
49 --netif <ifname|ip>
51 Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing connec‐
52 tions. You have to specify IP address bound to some of your lo‐
53 cal network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
54 --ip-proto <proto>
56 Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6,
57 or any). This is just an advisory option. Megatools will re‐
58 solve mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on
59 the stated preference.
60 --config <path>
62 Load configuration from a file
63 --ignore-config-file
65 Disable loading .megarc
66 --debug [<options>]
68 Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation.
69 You may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas.
70 (eg. --debug api,fs)
71 Available options are:
73 • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
75 connection/proxy issues)
76 • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
78 • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually
80 print something)
81 • cache: Dump cache contents
83 • tman: Dump transfer manager events
85 --version
87 Show version information
88 <remotepaths>
90 One or more remote directories to create.
91 <contactemail>

96 • Create new folder:
97 $ megatools mkdir /Root/MyNewFolder
99 $ megatools ls /Root

102 • Add new contact to your contacts list:
104 $ megatools mkdir /Contacts/some@email.com
106
108 Mega.nz filesystem is represented as a tree of nodes of various types.
109 Nodes are identified by a 8 character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC).
110 Structure of the filesystem is not encrypted.
111 Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths
113 (eg. /Root/SomeFile.DAT).
114 NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory
116 can have the same name. To allow access to such files, the names of
117 conflicting files are extended by appending dot and their node handle
118 like this:
119 /Root/conflictingfile
121 /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
122 /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD
123 You need to be aware of several special folders:
125 /Root Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.
127 /Trash Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files.
129 This directory is not used by megatools when removing files.
130 /Inbox Not sure.
132 /Contacts
134 Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts
135 list. If you want to add contacts to the list, simply create
136 subdirectory named after the contact you want to add.
137 /Contacts/<email>
139 Directories representing individual contacts in your contacts
140 list. These directories contain folders that others shared with
141 you. All shared files are read-only, at the moment.
