CLI Usage Guide

Below are step-by-step CLI examples for each major provider. All commands assume Zevenet’s Debian/Ubuntu-style package manager adjust for your distribution.

1. pCloud

Install the official CLI pcloudcc or use rclone:

• Via DEB package:
• Download and install:

wget https://linux.pcloud.com/pcloudcc.deb
sudo dpkg -i pcloudcc.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

pcloudcc --auth
pcloudcc --mount /mnt/pcloud

pcloudcc --upload localfile.txt /remote/path/
pcloudcc --download /remote/path/bigfile.iso /backup/

Common issues:

• “Error mounting”: ensure FUSE is installed (sudo apt install fuse).
• Auth token expiration—re-run pcloudcc --auth.

2. MEGAcmd

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6C2D49ED
echo deb http://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/xUbuntu_20.04/ ./  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mega.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install megacmd

# Login interactively
mega-login your@email.com
# Basic operations
mega-ls
mega-put localfolder/ /Root/RemoteFolder/
mega-get /Root/RemoteFolder/file.zip ./downloads/
mega-logout

Typical problems:

• “Connection reset”: check your firewall/UDP traffic. Mega uses custom ports.
• File path issues: use absolute paths or wrap paths in quotes.

3. Proton Drive (via rclone)

# Install rclone
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh  sudo bash
# Configure Proton Drive
rclone config create protondrive protondrive
# Follow on-screen client ID  secret prompts

# List remote
rclone ls protondrive:
# Sync local to remote
rclone sync /srv/backups protondrive:Backups --progress
# Mount remote as folder
rclone mount protondrive: ~/mnt/protondrive --daemon

Notes:

• Proton Drive support in rclone is still evolving—upgrade rclone frequently.
• OAuth tokens expire: re-run rclone config reconnect protondrive:.

4. Filen (via rclone)

# Requires rclone >= 1.60
rclone config create filen filen user@gmail.com YOUR_API_KEY
rclone ls filen:
rclone copy ./logs filen:ServerLogs --progress

Common pitfalls:

• API key limit—regenerate in the Filen dashboard if “unauthorized”.

5. Tresorit CLI

# Download the latest Linux tarball from Tresorit CLI page
tar xzf tresorit-cli.tar.gz
cd tresorit-cli
sudo ./install.sh
# Then login
tresorit login
# Sync a directory
tresorit sync ~/Projects/myrepo /Tresorit/Backups/myrepo

Watch out for:

• Permissions—run as a user with access to Tresorit config in ~/.config/tresorit.
• “Sync stalled”: network throttles—adjust --max-transfer-rate.

6. Icedrive (via rclone)

rclone config create icedrive icedrive
# Follow OAuth flow
rclone ls icedrive:
rclone copy /data icedrive:Archive --verbose

Issues:

• Token expiry—use rclone config reconnect icedrive:.

7. Amazon S3 (AWS CLI)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install awscli
aws configure
# Provide Access Key, Secret Key, region
aws s3 ls
aws s3 cp backup.tar.gz s3://my-bucket/backups/ --storage-class STANDARD_IA

Common errors:

• “Access Denied”: check IAM policies and bucket ACL.
• Large files fail: use multipart (--expected-size flag).

8. Backblaze B2

pip install b2
b2 authorize-account YOUR_KEY_ID YOUR_APP_KEY
b2 create-bucket myzbucket allPrivate
b2 upload-file myzbucket localdata.tar.gz backups/localdata.tar.gz

Troubleshooting:

• “Bucket not empty” on delete: remove all files first (b2 delete-file-version).

Conclusion

For Zevenet administrators, CLI-driven cloud storage unlocks full automation, monitoring, and integration capabilities. pCloud and Icedrive offer an easy start MEGA and Tresorit shine in security-centric scenarios Proton Drive and Backblaze B2 suit privacy and cost-efficiency. And if flexibility is paramount, Rclone bridges all major providers under one tool.

Review your capacity needs, encryption requirements, and budget—then pilot two or three options to determine which CLI workflow best integrates with your Zevenet infrastructure. With the examples above and reliable troubleshooting tips, you’ll be up and running in minutes.
