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 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

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
