NAME

       git-annex-testremote - test transfers to/from a remote

SYNOPSIS

       git annex testremote remote

DESCRIPTION

       This tests a remote by generating some random objects and sending them to the remote, then
       redownloading them, removing them from the remote, etc.

       It's safe to run in an existing repository (the  repository  contents  are  not  altered),
       although it may perform expensive data transfers.

       It's  best  to  make  a  new remote for testing purposes. While the test tries to clean up
       after itself, if the remote being tested had a bug, the cleanup might fail,  leaving  test
       data in the remote.

       Testing  will  use  the remote's configuration, automatically varying the chunk sizes, and
       with simple shared encryption disabled and enabled, and exporttree disabled and enabled.

OPTIONS

       --fast

              Perform a smaller set of tests.

       --size=NUnits
              Tune the base size of the generated objects. The default is 1MiB.
