sync

sync

Controls synchronizations.

Usage: sync [localpath dstremotepath| [-dpe] [ID|localpath]

If no argument is provided, it lists current configured synchronizations.
If local and remote paths are provided, it will start synchronizing a local folder into a remote folder.
If an ID/local path is provided, it will list such synchronization unless an option is specified.

Note: use the "sync-config" command to show global sync configuration.

Options:
 -d | --delete ID|localpath deletes a synchronization (not the files).
 -p | --pause ID|localpath  pauses (disables) a synchronization.
 -e | --enable ID|localpath resumes a synchronization.
 [deprecated] --remove ID|localpath same as --delete.
 [deprecated] -s | --disable ID|localpath   same as --pause.
 [deprecated] -r ID|localpath   same as --enable.
 --path-display-size=N  Use at least N characters for displaying paths.
 --show-handles Prints remote nodes handles (H:XXXXXXXX).
 --col-separator=X  Uses the string "X" as column separator. Otherwise, spaces will be added between columns to align them.
 --output-cols=COLUMN_NAME_1,COLUMN_NAME2,...   Selects which columns to show and their order.

DISPLAYED columns:
 ID: an unique identifier of the sync.
 LOCALPATH: local synced path.
 REMOTEPATH: remote synced path (in MEGA).

    Running: Sync loaded and active.
    Suspended: Sync is not loaded, but it is on disk with the last known sync state.
