NEXTCLOUDCMD(1)

NAME
nextcloudcmd - Command line Nextcloud client tool.

SYNOPSIS

nextcloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir nextcloudurl

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

    --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

EXAMPLE

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
