Commandline / shell

NB: this way is particularly useful if you want to get files from the nextcloud instance on beethoven to you home directory on liszt.

  1. Install rclone from here
  2. Configure a remote (this is our nextcloud site) using the rclone config command option n
    1. Give the remote a name (e.g. uog)
    2. Select storage type webdav (number 29)
    3. Supply the URL which you can get from the nextcloud files page, bottom left when clicking on settings, e.g. https://nextcloud.bladzij.de/remote.php/dav/files/max_musterman/
    4. Select vendor nextcloud, option 1
    5. Enter your username e.g. max_musterman
    6. Enter your password
    7. No need to supply bearer_token nor invoking advanced config
    8. More info here
  3. Test using something like this: rclone ls uog:/ or this: rclone lsd uog:/
  4. Copy a local file to the remote:  rclone copy my-special-word-file.doc uog:/Documents/
  5. rtfm (i.e. man rclone or rclone -h)

Examples

Show the configuration file in/on the terminal window:

(base) jan@beethoven:~$ cd .config/rclone/
(base) jan@beethoven:~/.config/rclone$ cat rclone.conf

Output:

(base) jan@beethoven:~/.config/rclone$ cat rclone.conf
