Raw Blame History

The ownCloud Client packages contain a command line client, owncloudcmd, that can be used to synchronize ownCloud files to client machines.

owncloudcmd performs a single sync run and then exits the synchronization process. In this manner, owncloudcmd processes the differences between client and server directories and propagates the files to bring both repositories to the same state. Contrary to the GUI-based client, owncloudcmd does not repeat synchronizations on its own. It also does not monitor for file system changes.

To invoke owncloudcmd, you must provide the local and the remote repository URL using the following command:

owncloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir owncloudurl

where sourcedir is the local directory and owncloudurl is the server URL.

Other command line switches supported by owncloudcmd include the following:

--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.

--nonshib

Uses Non Shibboleth WebDAV Authentication

--davpath [path]

Overrides the WebDAV Path with path

--exclude [file]

Exclude list file

--unsyncedfolders [file]

File containing the list of unsynced remote folders (selective sync)

--max-sync-retries [n]

Retries maximum n times (defaults to 3)

-h

Sync hidden files,do not ignore them

Credential Handling

owncloudcmd uses the credentials of the GUI synchronization client. If no client is configured, or if you choose to use a different user to synchronize, you can specify the user password setting with the usual URL pattern. For example:

$ owncloudcmd / https://carla:secret@server/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/

To synchronize the ownCloud directory Music to the local directory media/music, through a proxy listening on port 8080, and on a gateway machine using IP address 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 prompt for the user name and password, unless they have been specified on the command line or -n has been passed.
