nextcloudcmd(1)
---------------

SYNOPSIS
========
*nextcloudcmd* [`OPTIONS`...] sourcedir nextcloudurl

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

Contrary to the :manpage:`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
=======
.. include:: ../doc/options-cmd.rst

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 :manpage:`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
