Introduction

The Filen CLI provides a set of useful tools for interacting with the cloud:

• Accessing your Filen Drive in a stateless environment or interactive mode
• Syncing locations with the cloud (just like the Desktop app)
• Mounting a network drive
• Running a WebDAV mirror server of your personal drive, or multiple drives in proxy mode
• Running an S3 mirror server

Installation and updates

You can download the latest binaries from the GitHub release page. Docker images are also available as filen/cli.

The Filen CLI includes an automatic updater that checks for a new release every time the CLI is invoked (after checking for updates, it will not check again for the next 10 minutes). Invoke the CLI with the --skip-update flag to skip checking for updates. (Use the --force-update flag to check for updates even if it was recently checked.)

Usage

Global flags:

• --help, -h: display usage information
• --verbose, -v: display additional information
• --quiet, -q: hide things like progress bars and additional logs
• --log-file <file>: write logs to a file

For detailed information on how to use the CLI features, see the respective documentation pages.
