I was wondering if someones knows how to install a client, like megatools, in Ubuntu Server(SSH) to upload and download files to MEGA(mega.co.nz).

Thanks in advance, Joserex65.

You can install megatools like so

git clone https://github.com/megous/megatools.git
cd megatools/
sudo apt-get install libtool libglib2.0-dev gobject-introspection libgmp3-dev nettle-dev asciidoc glib-networking#(these are the dependancies I needed, you may need others)
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Enjoy!

More robust way which seems to install all the tools:

sudo apt-get install libtool libglib2.0-dev gobject-introspection libgmp3-dev nettle-dev asciidoc glib-networking
wget http://megatools.megous.com/builds/megatools-1.9.94.tar.gz
zcat megatools-1.9.94.tar.gz > megatools-1.9.94.tar
tar -xf megatools-1.9.94.tar   
cd megatools-1.9.94/
./configure
make
sudo make install

Edit To install just the binary on vivid and wily (15.04/15.10), you can just run sudo apt-get install megatools. On earlier versions, you can run

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:megous/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install megatools

  • Can you perhaps explain what these 'tools' do and why they should be used? As it currently stands you basically just say "get this random software, build it, and bam it helps", but don't say how it helps in any way.

  • @ThomasW. the question mentioned this tool specifically. I've added some details.

  • actually he says 'like megatools', which doesn't state they want to use megatools. To that end, I would suggest editing to sya "YOu can build and use megatools. Here's the instructions:", to make it a little more complete and kinder towards the end-user.

  • Is there a way to do this without installing 729 MB of archives?

try Rclone

Rclone is a command line program for managing files on cloud storage.

this tool allows us to upload files to mega and not only mega, but more than 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.

install rclone

curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

configure with mega account

rclone config

Upload files to mega

syntax:

rclone copy filepath dest:destpath

example:

rclone copy myfile.txt pausi:backup

(this will upload the myfile.txt file to the backup folder in mega)

for download files from mega to local storage.

syntax:

rclone copy dest:destpath path

example:

rclone copy pausi:backup/myfile.txt .
