The ownCloud Client packages contain a command line client, `owncloud`, that can
be used to synchronize ownCloud files to client machines. The command line
client is called ``owncloudcmd``.
``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::
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00
2014-03-25 18:03:47 +00:00
owncloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir owncloudurl
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00
2014-03-25 18:03:47 +00:00
where ``sourcedir`` is the local directory and ``owncloudurl`` is
2014-06-25 20:04:33 +00:00
the server URL.
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00
Other command line switches supported by ``owncloudcmd`` include the following:
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00

Specify the user's password.
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00

Credential Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00
By default, ``owncloudcmd`` reads the client configuration and 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::
2014-03-20 15:35:24 +00:00
$ owncloudcmd / https://carla:secret@server/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/
2014-03-25 18:03:47 +00:00
2014-06-25 20:04:33 +00:00
To synchronize the ownCloud directory ``Music`` to the local directory
2014-09-18 09:36:02 +00:00
``media/music``, through a proxy listening on port ``8080``, and on a gateway
2014-06-25 20:04:33 +00:00
machine using IP address ``192.168.178.1``, the command line would be::
2014-03-25 18:03:47 +00:00
$ 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.
