megarc(5) megarc(5) NAME megarc - Configuration file for megatools SYNOPSIS ~/.megarc ./.megarc DESCRIPTION Megatools use INI configuration file to store commonly used login cre- dentials. This makes it less bothersome to use the tools, as you can simply write $ megatools df instead of $ megatools df --username my@email.com --password mypass when using the tools. Configuration file is read either from the current directory or user's home directory. Exceptions are when --ignore-config-file was passed to the tool, or when explicit path to the config file was given via --con- fig <path>. CONFIG FILE SECTIONS All sections are optional. All names are case sensitive, thus you must write [Login], and not [login], and so on. LOGIN SECTION Username Your username. Password Your password. Be aware that back slashes have special meaning. If you have back slash in your password, you must escape it with another backslash. For example: my\nice\password would be writ- ten as my\\nice\\password in the config file. CACHE SECTION Timeout Cache timeout in seconds (default is 10 minutes). NETWORK SECTION DownloadSpeedLimit Set maximum allowed download speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit. Overrides SpeedLimit setting. UploadSpeedLimit Set maximum allowed upload speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit. Overrides SpeedLimit setting. When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer individually. SpeedLimit Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. 0 means no limit. ParallelTransfers Set maximum allowed number of parallel connections when upload or downloading a file. The file is split into chunks of a size between 128 kiB and 1 MiB, and these chunks are uploaded in par- allel. The number must be between 1 and 16. Default is 5. Proxy Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. More information can be found in libcurl documentation at <https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html>. Some ac- ceptable values are: • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS handled by the proxy UPLOAD SECTION CreatePreviews Create Previews (see --enable-previews option). UI SECTION Colors Enable color output in the progress reporting. Colors are dis- abled by default to support all kinds of terminal configura- tions. Colors are not configurable, yet. EXAMPLE Create ~/.megarc (on linux) or mega.ini file containing these 3 lines: [Login] Username = your@email Password = yourpassword [Network] # 1MiB/s SpeedLimit = 1024 # Use over TOR Proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 ParallelTransfers = 2 [UI] Colors = true Run megatools-df(1) to check that megatools are able to login to your account.
