     account

SYNOPSIS
	    megatools copy [-n] [--no-progress] --local <path> --remote <remotepath>
	    megatools copy [-n] [--no-progress] --download --local <path> --remote <remotepath>

DESCRIPTION
     Sync remote and local directories. No files are  ever  overwritten  or  re-
     moved.

     Default  direction is to upload files to the cloud. If you want to download
     files, you have to add --download option.

OPTIONS
     -r <remotepath> , --remote <remotepath>
	    Remote directory path.

     -l <path> , --local <path>
	    Local directory path.

     -d , --download
	    Download files from the Mega.nz. The default is to upload.

     -n , --dryrun
	    Don't perform any actual changes, just print what would be done.

     --no-progress
	    Disable upload progress reporting.

     --enable-previews
	    Generate and upload file previews, when uploading new  files.   This
	    is the default, unless you changed it in the configuration file. Use
	    this to override the option from the configuration file.

     --disable-previews
	    Don't generate and upload file previews. Default is to generate pre-
	    views.

     --disable-resume
	    Don't resume downloads from partially downloaded file. Default is to
	    resume.

     --reload
	    Reload filesystem cache

     --limit-speed <speed>
	    Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s.  This option
	    overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit.  When using Paral-
	    lelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer in-
	    dividually.

     --proxy <proxy>
	    Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config
	    file  settings.  More information can be found in libcurl documenta-
	    tion at  <https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html>.   Some
	    acceptable values are:

	    *
	      none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.

	    *
	      socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server

	    *
	      socks5h://localhost:9050	:  Local  SOCKSv5  proxy server with DNS
	      handled by the proxy

     --netif <ifname|ip>
	    Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing connections.
	    You have to specify IP address bound to some of your  local  network
	    interfaces, when specifying an IP address.

     --ip-proto <proto>
	    Which  IP  protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6, or
	    any).  This is just an  advisory  option.	Megatools  will  resolve
	    mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on the stated
	    preference.

     --config <path>
	    Load configuration from a file

     --ignore-config-file
	    Disable loading .megarc

	    may enable multiple debugging  options  separated  by  commas.  (eg.
	    --debug api,fs)

	    *
	      http:  Dump  HTTP  request/response  details (can be used to debug
	      connection/proxy issues)

	    *
	      api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

	    *
	      fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem  (may  require  --reload  to	actually
	      print something)

	    *
	      cache: Dump cache contents

	    *
	      tman: Dump transfer manager events

     --version
	    Show version information

       $ megatools copy --local MyBackups --remote /Root/Backups --download

REMOTE FILESYSTEM
     Mega.nz  filesystem  is  represented  as  a tree of nodes of various types.
     Nodes are identified by a 8 character node handles (eg.  7Fdi3ZjC).  Struc-
     ture of the filesystem is not encrypted.

     Megatools	maps  node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths (eg.
     /Root/SomeFile.DAT).

     NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory  can
     have the same name. To allow access to such files, the names of conflicting
     files are extended by appending dot and their node handle like this:

     /Root/conflictingfile
     /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
     /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD

     You need to be aware of several special folders:

     /Root  Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.

     /Trash
	    Trash  directory  where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files. This
	    directory is not used by megatools when removing files.

     /Inbox
	    Not sure.

     /Contacts
	    Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts list.
	    If you want to add contacts to the list, simply create  subdirectory
	    named after the contact you want to add.

     /Contacts/<email>
	    Directories  representing individual contacts in your contacts list.
	    These directories contain folders that others shared with  you.  All
	    shared files are read-only, at the moment.
