Possible Codes returned from Script

Remarks

Never pass in the directory Root to mega_upload_file.sh as the frist part of the path.

For -p -p '/MyPath/myfile' is fine; however, -p '/Root/MyPath/myfile' will fail.

-p  Path to upload must exist on mega. for this reason it might be better to run mega_mkdir.sh before running mega_upload_file.sh.

That way if the path does not exist it will get created first.

If -i is omitted then you must have .megarc set in the current users home directory.

-o is optional but useful when calling mega_upload_file.sh from a master script such as mega_db_save_upload.sh (source).

-d is optional but also useful when calling mega_upload_file.sh from a master script such as mega_db_save_upload.sh (source). By passing Log and Date to mega_upload_file.sh then one log file will contain the same datestamp for all of the other called related scripts.

If the name of this file "mega_upload_file.sh" is change for any reason then it needs to be reflected in the configuration file. See Configuration File.

Example

The following examples assume the path for upload already exit on Mega.nz. Run mega_mkdir.sh before running mega_upload_file.sh. If your not certain the path already exist on Mega.nz.

# /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/mega_upload_file.sh -p '/example/test' -l ~/hello.txt; echo $?
0

Checking the log file we can see the results

# cat /var/log/mega_upload_file.log
2018-06-06-10-29-19 MEGA PUT: Uploading '/root/hello.txt' to directory '/Root/example/test' on MEGA.nz.
2018-06-06-10-29-19 MEGA PUT: Upload result: [0KUploaded hello.txt
2018-06-06-10-29-19 MEGA PUT: MEGA Upload Done

Example

In the following example the hello.txt file is uploaded to Mega.nz to a different name then the original file. The output is directed to the terminal and not a log by setting -o to "t"

# /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/mega_upload_file.sh -p '/example/test/hello world.txt' -l ~/hello.txt -o t
2018-06-06-10-35-04 MEGA PUT: Uploading '/root/hello.txt' to directory '/Root/example/test/hello world.txt' on MEGA.nz.
2018-06-06-10-35-04 MEGA PUT: Upload result: [0KUploaded hello.txt
2018-06-06-10-35-04 MEGA PUT: MEGA Upload Done

We can confirm using mega_dir_file_exist.sh.

# /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/mega_dir_file_exist.sh -p '/example/test/hello world.txt'; echo $?
3

We can also see the results by running megals of megatools.

# megals -l "/Root/example/test"
