unless you changed it in the configuration file. Use this to override the option
from the configuration file.

--limit-speed <speed>
Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This option overrides
config file settings. 0 means no limit. When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload
speed limit is applied to each transfer individually.
--proxy <proxy>
Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings.
More information can be found in libcurl documentation at
⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html⟩. Some acceptable values are:
• none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
• socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
• socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS handled by the
proxy
--netif <ifname|ip>

specify IP address bound to some of your local network interfaces, when specifying
an IP address.
--ip-proto <proto>
Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6, or any). This is
just an advisory option. Megatools will resolve mega.nz domain, and then use an A
or AAAA record based on the stated preference.
--config <path>

--ignore-config-file

--debug [<options>]
Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation. You may enable
multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg. --debug api,fs)
Available options are:
• http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug connection/proxy
issues)
• api: Dump Mega.nz API calls
• fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually print something)
• cache: Dump cache contents
• tman: Dump transfer manager events
--version

$ megatools copy --local MyBackups --remote /Root/Backups
• Download directory.

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.
