3.16                                              Mar 09, 2025                                   NEXTCLOUDCMD(1)

       nextcloudcmd is the command line tool used for the nextCloud file synchronization desktop utility.

       Contrary  to the nextcloud(1) GUI client, nextcloudcmd only performs a single sync run and then exits. In
       so doing, nextcloudcmd replaces the ocsync binary used for the same purpose in earlier releases.

       A syncrun synchronizes a single local directory using a WebDAV share on a remote nextCloud 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 nextcloudcmd, the tool only accepted owncloud:// or ownclouds:// in place
          of http:// and https:// as a scheme. See Examples for details.

       To synchronize the nextCloud 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:

          $ nextcloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \
                        $HOME/media/music \
                        https://server/nextcloud

       nextcloudcmd  will enquire user name and password, unless they have been specified on the command line or
       -n (see netrc(5)) has been passed.

       Using the legacy scheme, it would be:

          $ nextcloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \
                        $HOME/media/music \
                        ownclouds://server/nextcloud
