SyncDat Option Summary
The following command line options are available for syncdat. Many of these have corresponding configuration variables, named in brackets.
| -a <-3 to 5> | [Aggression] Set MTP/IP's aggression level. |
| -A user[:passwd]@host: | Add a set of authentication credentials to encrypted storage. You must specify a port number using -p if the server is not on port 8080. |
| -C | [NoPWCache] Do not load or save the password cache. You will be prompted to enter any passwords required. |
| -d <level> | [Debug] Turn on diagnostic output. Levels above 1 will produce copious output and degrade performance. |
| -e <milliseconds> | [Expire] Change the default expire time for stalled transfers. Longer values may be useful on highly unreliable networks. |
| -E user@host: | Expire and remove a set of authentication credentials from storage. You must specify a port number using -p if the server is not on port 8080. |
| -f <config> | Read the given configuration file instead of the usual ones. |
| -k <kilobytes> | [MaxRate] Limit bandwidth in kilobytes per second. |
| -K | [Encrypt] Require all transactions to be encrypted. If the server does not support encryption, an error will be returned. |
| -l | [LocalMaster] The remote directory will be changed to make it identical to the local directory. See the "Local Master" section. |
| -L <rtt>[:<rate>] | [Latency] Advise MTP/IP of operation on a path with a high latency (over 500ms). |
| -n | [NoAction] Scan the directories and report what actions would be taken, but do not actually make any changes. |
| -p <port> | [Port] Specify the UDP port of the server. Use this option if the server is running on a port other than the default 8080, or to override the configuration file. |
| -q | [Quiet] Display minimal output. Automatically enables -y |
| -r | [RemoteMaster] The local directory will be changed to make it identical to the remote directory. See the "Remote Master" section. |
| -R | Register a license code. |
| -T <bytes> | [MaxDatagram] Limit the size of network datagram payloads to no more than this amount. The full IP datagram size will be 56 bytes larger when MTP/UDP/IP headers are included. If your network is known to have problems with IP fragmentation, try setting a value of 1424 or smaller. |
| -v | [Verbose] Display each individual action. |
| -y | Disables interactive queries by answering Yes to all questions regarding conflicts and confirmations. |
