29 Never ask interactively for a password
30 --reload
32 Reload filesystem cache
33 --limit-speed <speed>
35 Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This
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 --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 • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
47 • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
49 • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS
51 handled by the proxy
52 --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 --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 --config <path>
65 Load configuration from a file
66 --ignore-config-file
68 Disable loading .megarc
69 --debug [<options>]

72 You may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas.
73 (eg. --debug api,fs)
74 Available options are:
76 • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug
78 connection/proxy issues)
79 • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
81 • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually
83 print something)
84 • cache: Dump cache contents
86 • tman: Dump transfer manager events
88 --version

91 <remotepaths>

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 Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths
118 (eg. /Root/SomeFile.DAT).
119 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 /Root/conflictingfile
126 /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
127 /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD
128 You need to be aware of several special folders:
130 /Root Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.
132 /Trash Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files.
134 This directory is not used by megatools when removing files.
135 /Inbox Not sure.
137 /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 /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.
