[Owncloud] what's the best way to synchronize without X (without the gui client) on linux?

[Jakub Moscicki]

Hello,

Yes, it does the background sync of the owncloud account - just like the desktop client but without the gui. Very useful in some cases.

Here you have my ocsync build script for linux.

https://box.cern.ch/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=f694ef2c0f2c109df87b2fd90c9f8079

You may need to install some dependencies (cmake, libiniparser,...).
Edit the script and unset the PATCH variable.

Once compiled then run like this (with lots of debug info -d 100 and against https webdav endpoint):

ocsync -d 100 -c ownclouds://USER:PASSWORD@SERVER/owncloud/remote.php/webdav

I hope this helps,

kuba

Kuba,

does ocsync work with webdav, i.e. synchronizing with the owncloud server?

Hello,

For your information, I use quite successfully the ocsync executable from a cron: ocsync -d 100 -c local_dir remote_dir
