SYNOPSIS¶

megaget --path - <remotefile>
DESCRIPTION¶
Downloads files from your Mega.nz account.
NOTE: If you want to download entire directories, use
megacopy(1).
OPTIONS¶
--path <path>
Local path to download to. If this path is a directory,
files are placed into the directory. If this path doesn’t exist, and
it’s parent directory does, the file will be downloaded to a specified
file (this only works if you specify exactly one remote path).
If <path> is -, remote file will be streamed to stdout.
--no-progress
Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when
streaming.
--disable-resume
Don’t resume downloads from partially dowloaded
file. Default is to resume.
-u <email>, --username <email>
Account username (email)
-p <password>, --password <password>
Account password
--no-ask-password
Never ask interactively for a password
--reload
Reload filesystem cache
--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
--config <path>
Load configuration from a file
--ignore-config-file
Disable loading .megarc
--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
Show version information
<remotepaths>
One or more remote files to download.
<remotefile>
Remote path to a single file to stream.
EXAMPLES¶
•Download file to the current directory:
$ megals /Root

/Root/README
$ megaget /Root/README
$ ls
README
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.
