Configuration

The application configuration stored in the YAML format.

Configuration file yandex_disk_rsync.yaml possible locations:

• The file in the current directory ($PWD/yandex_disk_rsync.yaml)
• The hidden file (named .yandex_disk_rsync.yaml) in the current directory
• The hidden file in the user's home directory ($HOME/.yandex_disk_rsync.yaml)

Required configuration field is token. Token creation guide described here.

Example:

ydcmd:
    token: __YOUR_TOKEN_HERE__
    verbose: true
    debug: true
    retries: 2
    progress: true

sync:
    local_path: __CAN_BE_DEFINED_HERE_OR_IN_ARGUMENTS__
    yd_path: __CAN_BE_DEFINED_HERE_OR_IN_ARGUMENTS__
    delete: __CAN_BE_DEFINED_HERE_OR_IN_ARGUMENTS__

Full configuration description located at the ydcmd README.

Default configuration described in the source code.

Usage

usage: yandex_disk_rsync [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--local-path LOCAL_PATH]
                         [--yd-path YD_PATH] --target {disk,local} [--delete]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG, -c CONFIG
  --local-path LOCAL_PATH, -l LOCAL_PATH
  --yd-path YD_PATH, -d YD_PATH
  --target {disk,local}, -t {disk,local}
                        Target, the synchronization destination (editable)
  --delete              Can delete files

Target option specifies the target location of data flow: local or disk storage. If the local is chosen, the files synchronized from disk into local.

Case	Target is local	Target is disk
No file in local	Download from disk	Delete* from disk
No file in disk	Delete* from local	Upload to disk
File checksum mismatch	Download from disk	Upload to disk
Same file	No changes	No changes

* works only if delete argument has been passed or is True.

After preparing changes summary, the app will print them and ask a user for confirmation.
