NEXTCLOUDCMD(1)

NAME
nextcloudcmd - Command line Nextcloud client tool. nextcloudcmd(1) —————

nextcloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir nextcloudurl

nextcloudcmd is the command line tool used for the nextCloud file synchronization desktop utility.

Contrary to the nextcloud(1) GUI client, nextcloudcmd only performs a single sync run and then exits. In so doing, nextcloudcmd replaces the ocsync binary used for the same purpose in earlier releases.

A sync run synchronizes a single local directory using a WebDAV share on a remote nextCloud server.

To invoke the command line client, provide the local and the remote repository: The first parameter is the local directory. The second parameter is the server URL.

NOTE: Prior to the 1.6 release of nextcloudcmd, the tool only accepted owncloud:// or ownclouds:// in place of http:// and https:// as a scheme. See Examples for details.

--path
    Overrides default remote root folder to a specific subfolder on the server(e.g.: /Documents would sync the Documents subfolder on the server)

—user, -u [user]
    Use user as the login name.

—password, -p [password]
    Use password as the password.

-n  Use netrc (5) for login.

—non-interactive
    Do not prompt for questions.

—silent, —s
    Inhibits verbose log output.

—trust
    Trust any SSL certificate, including invalid ones.

—httpproxy http://[user@pass:]<server>:<port>
    Uses server as HTTP proxy.

—exclude [file]
    Exclude list file

—unsyncedfolders [file]
    File containing the list of unsynced folders (selective sync)

—max-sync-retries [n]
    Retries maximum n times (defaults to 3)

-h  Sync hidden files,do not ignore them

    To synchronize the nextCloud directory Music to the local directory media/music through a proxy listening on port 8080 on the gateway machine 192.168.178.1, the command line would be:

    $ nextcloudcmd —httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \
                  $HOME/media/music \
                  https://server/nextcloud

    nextcloudcmd will enquire user name and password, unless they have been specified on the command line or -n (see netrc(5)) has been passed.

    Using the legacy scheme, it would be:

    $ nextcloudcmd —httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \
                  $HOME/media/music \
                  ownclouds://server/nextcloud
