Syncing new files from ownCloud Server to Windows Desktop Client

[tom42]

Hey,

it seems there is even an FAQ on this topic which seems to exist since a few years:

Why does my files I put into datadir don't appear in ownCloud?

Problem: I’m putting files on operating system into the datadirectory but they don’t appear within the WebGUI of ownCoud. Description: Manually modification within the datadir is unsupported as stated in the documentation: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.1/admin_manual/issues/general_troubleshooting.html#debugging-sync-issues https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.2/troubleshooting.html#isolating-other-issues Alternatives: Use a WebDAV client to access your files as described in https://…

My preferred way:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Hello ownCloud!' > ./sample.txt
curl -n -T ./sample.txt http://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/sample/
rm ./sample.txt

Due to the -n, the credentials are used from the ~/.netrc file. The directory must exist.

machine  localhost
login    your_login
password your_pass

This is a great info / solution. Maybe @dmitry has the permissions to edit this FAQ and add this example there?
