ownCloudcmd with netrc on Windows doesn't work

Desktop
7

Unfortunately I have to confirm the reported behavior. This made me somewhat curious, so I did some investigations on Win7. Finally I found a solution that works for me:

  1. As I expected, the file is named .netrc - without an decoration!
  2. The file .netrc is located at %HOME%.
  3. The file .netrc contains Linux line endings. This cannot be done with notepad, IFAIK.

After that, I was able to perform a sync without entering my credentials.

I hope this works for you as well.

BTW, regarding the file naming topic: I have many of those “extension-only” files on my machine:
