owncloudcmd(1)

SYNOPSIS

owncloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir owncloudurl

DESCRIPTION

owncloudcmd is the command line tool used for the ownCloud file synchronization desktop utility.

Contrary to the owncloud(1) GUI client, owncloudcmd only performs a single sync run and then exits. In so doing, owncloudcmd 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 ownCloud 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 owncloudcmd, the tool only accepted owncloud:// or ownclouds:// in place of http:// and https:// as a scheme. See Examples for details.

--user, -u [user]

Use user as the login name.

--password, -p [password]

Use password as the password.

--httpproxy http://[user@pass:]<server>:<port>

--exclude [file]

--unsyncedfolders [file]

Example

To synchronize the ownCloud 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:

$ owncloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 \
              $HOME/media/music \
              https://server/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/Music

owncloudcmd 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:

$ owncloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 \
              $HOME/media/music \
              ownclouds://server/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/Music
