Introducing Siasync

Siasync works on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, but it is a command line only tool, you’ll have to run it from your operating systems’ command line. That’s the command prompt for you Windows people, and Terminal for you MacOS and Linux wizards. Simply download the Binary by clicking on your operating system icon above and rename the file to Siasync or Siasync.exe (if you’re on Windows).

The most basic way to use Siasync is to have it stay 100% in sync with a local folder.

That will keep the local folder /tmp/foo synced to Sia. As new files and folders are created they will be uploaded to Sia, as files and folders are deleted they will be removed.

Now let’s get fancy!

Let’s break down this command one argument at a time:

-include jpg,jpeg,gif,png,raw — Only files with jpg, jpeg, gif, png, or raw file extensions will be synced. All other files will be ignored. More information on this flag and the -exclude flag can be found in this Siasync case study.

-archive true — Never delete files from Sia, even if they are deleted locally.

-address 127.0.0.1:4280 — Use the Sia daemon running at 127.0.0.1:4280 instead of the default 127.0.0.1:9980.

-subfolder demo — Sync the files to the “demo” folder on Sia, instead of the default “siasync” folder. Siasync will create the “demo” folder if it doesn’t exist. You can see the files with siac renter ls /demo/.

-password <your-api-password> — Use your API password instead of whatever API password Siasync was able to find. Siasync checks the default Sia locations and environment variables for API passwords.

/tmp/foo/ — The local folder you want synced to Sia.

Yup, Siasync has a few more features, and a few Easter Eggs for you to find. You can view the complete list of flags from Siasync itself.
