What is TFA?

rullzer commented 4 years ago

Ah two factor authentication. Well be sure to use an apptoken then. Because your native password will indeed not work.

ptman commented 4 years ago

Excellent. How does one use an apptoken with nextcloudcmd?

ptman commented 4 years ago

Is nextcloudcmd supposed to be usable with apptokens?

edent commented 4 years ago

@ptman I use an app token with nextcloudcmd.

For example 

nextcloudcmd -u "admin" -p "ABCD-1234-5678-EFGH" ~/nextcloud/ https://example.com/nextcloud

@edent Thank you so much for your reply. I was struggling with it for days and finally figured it out. To elaborate on it:

You can't use your login name and password in nextcloudcmd. To use an app token with nextcloudcmd, go to https://efss.qloud.my/index.php/settings/user/security . Under Devices & sessions, you should see an input field App name. Type your app name to generate email and password. Then use them in your nextcloudcmd to perform a sync:

nextcloudcmd --user 'name@mail.com' --password 'app-token-password' /home/name/Nextcloud/ https://efss.qloud.my/ > /dev/null 2>&1

Cheers!
