Bugs

       There is no upstream support for bugreports and feature requests. But you can send code patches to
       megatools@xff.czmailto:megatools@xff.cz⟩ to get them integrated into upstream repository.

Configuration Files

       See megarc(5) for information about mega configuration file.

       Each of the individual tools have help that can be accessed using --help parameter.

Description

       Megatools  is  a collection of programs for accessing Mega service from a command line of your desktop or
       server.

       Megatools allow you to copy individual files as well as entire directory trees to and from the cloud. You
       can also perform streaming downloads for example to preview videos and audio files,  without  needing  to
       download the entire file.

       Megatools  are  robust  and  optimized  for  fast  operation  -  as  fast  as  Mega servers allow. Memory
       requirements and CPU utilization are kept at minimum.

       You can register account using a megatools-reg(1) tool, with the benefit of having true control  of  your
       encryption keys.

       Mega website can be found at ⟨https://mega.nz⟩.

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). Structure 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.

Session Cache

       If  you modify cloud filesystem from the Mega.nz website or from another computer, you’ll need to refresh
       your session cache. This can be done by using the --reload option to any tool, or by waiting for a  cache
       timeout (default timeout is set to 10 minutes).
