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).
