owncloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir owncloudurl

owncloudcmd is the command line tool used for the ownCloud file synchronization desktop utility. This command line tool is based on mirall.

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.

--confdir PATH

Specifies the configuration directory where csync.conf is located.

--silent

Inhibits verbose log output.

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

Uses server as HTTP proxy.

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

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
