29              Never ask interactively for a password
30
31       --reload

33
34       --limit-speed <speed>

36              option overrides config file settings. 0 means no  limit.   When
37              using  ParallelTransfers  >  1, upload speed limit is applied to
38              each transfer individually.
39
40       --proxy <proxy>
41              Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz.  This  option  overrides
42              config  file settings.  More information can be found in libcurl
43              documentation      at       ⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CUR
44              LOPT_PROXY.html⟩.  Some acceptable values are:
45
46              • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
47
48              • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
49
50              • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
51                handled by the proxy
52
53       --netif <ifname|ip>
54              Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing  connec‐
55              tions.  You have to specify IP address bound to some of your lo‐
56              cal network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
57
58       --ip-proto <proto>
59              Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4,  v6,
60              or  any).   This is just an advisory option.  Megatools will re‐
61              solve mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based  on
62              the stated preference.
63
64       --config <path>
65              Load configuration from a file

73              (eg. --debug api,fs)
74
75              Available options are:
76
77              • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
78                connection/proxy issues)
79
80              • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
81
82              • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to  actually
83                print something)

86
87              • tman: Dump transfer manager events

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  Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.
132
133       /Trash Trash  directory  where  Mega.nz web client moves deleted files.
134              This directory is not used by megatools when removing files.
135
136       /Inbox Not sure.
137
138       /Contacts
139              Directory containing subdirectories representing  your  contacts
140              list.  If  you  want  to add contacts to the list, simply create
141              subdirectory named after the contact you want to add.
142
143       /Contacts/<email>
144              Directories representing individual contacts  in  your  contacts
145              list.  These directories contain folders that others shared with
146              you. All shared files are read-only, at the moment.
