**RPM Package Repository**
To add the `duck` repository to your system you need to put a file `duck.repo` with the following content into `/etc/yum.repos.d/`.
**Snapshot Builds**
Copy and paste
```{code-block}
echo -e "[duck-nightly]\n\
name=duck-nightly\n\
baseurl=https://repo.cyberduck.io/nightly/\$basearch/\n\
enabled=1\n\
gpgcheck=0" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/duck-snapshot.repo > /dev/null
```
to add the configuration.
**Stable Builds**
```{code-block}
echo -e "[duck-stable]\n\
name=duck-stable\n\
baseurl=https://repo.cyberduck.io/stable/\$basearch/\n\
enabled=1\n\
gpgcheck=0" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/duck-stable.repo > /dev/null
```
To install *Cyberduck CLI* use
`sudo yum install duck`
**DEB Package Repository**
1. Add the nightly or stable `duck` repository to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` manually:
```{code-block}
deb https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.deb.cyberduck.io nightly main
deb https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.deb.cyberduck.io stable main
```
or using
```{code-block}
echo -e "deb https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.deb.cyberduck.io stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cyberduck.list > /dev/null
```
2. You need to download the GPG public key from `keyserver.ubuntu.com` to verify the integrity of the packages:
```{code-block}
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FE7097963FEFBE72
```
3. Synchronize the repository using
```{code-block}
sudo apt-get update
```
4. To install or upgrade *Cyberduck CLI* use
```{code-block}
sudo apt-get install duck
```
```{warning}
You may get a conflict with another package named `duck`. As a workaround, install with a specific version number like `sudo apt-get install duck=6.7.1.28683`.

Usage:duck [options...]
Run --help
to get the option screen.
URLs in arguments must be fully qualified. You can reference files relative to your home directory with /~ftps://[email protected]/~/
.
Paths can either denote a remote file `ftps://[email protected]/resource` or folder `ftps://[email protected]/directory/` with a trailing slash.
You can install additional connection profiles in the application support directory. Use the --profile
option to reference a connection profile file to use not installed in the standard location.
The <url>
argument for --copy
, --download
, --upload
, and --synchronize
must satisfy following rules:
- Each URL must start with a scheme and a colon (
https:
) unless you specify a--profile
. - Depending on the type of protocol you are referencing different rules apply
- For all protocols where no default hostname is set (e.g.
WebDAV
,SFTP
, andFTPS
) you must use a fully qualified URIhttps://user@hostname/path
- For all protocols where a default hostname is set, but you are allowed to change it (e.g. S3) you may use fully qualified URIs or
Absolute paths:
s3:/bucket/path
, Relative paths:s3:user@path
ors3:user@/path
.
Omitting the first slash in a relative path uses the default home directory for this protocol.
- For all protocols where a default hostname is set and you are not allowed to change it (e.g.
OneDrive
,Dropbox
,Google Drive
) you may use any combination of the above with the following rules: Fully Qualified URIs are parsed as relative paths.onedrive://Some/Folder/
is parsed asonedrive:Some/Folder
.
- For all protocols where no default hostname is set (e.g.
- For all protocols where a default path is set and you are not allowed to change it (e.g. accessing a prebuilt
NextCloud
profile with a path set to/remote.php/webdav
). You are allowed to change the path but it will be appended to the default path. Making nextcloud:/path reallynextcloud:/remote.php/webdav/path
.
Spaces and other special-characters are not required to be percent-encoded (e.g. `%20` for space) as long as the path is quoted `duck --upload "scheme://hostname/path with/spaces" "/Path/To/Local/File With/Spaces"`.

- List all buckets in S3 with

- List all objects in a S3 bucket with
duck --username <Access Key ID> --list s3:/<bucketname>/
Retry requests with I/O failures once per default. Useful on connnection timeout or latency issues.
Print protocol transcript for requests and responses. This includes the HTTP headers.
Do not save passwords in login keychain (macOS), credentials manager (Windows), or plain text password file (Linux).
Suppress progress messages.
Throttle bandwidth to the number of bytes per second.
You can pass username as part of the URI prepending to the hostname with username@host
. Alternatively, use the --username
option. You can give the password with the --password
option or you will be prompted before the connection is opened by the program if no password matching the host is found in your login keychain (OS X) or user configuration shared with Cyberduck (Windows).
When connecting with SFTP you can give a file path to a private key with --identity
for use with public key authentication.
When connecting with OpenStack Swift
you can set the tenant name (OpenStack Identity Service, Keystone 2.0) or project (OpenStack Identity Service, Keystone 3.0) with --username <tenant>:<user>
.
You can transfer multiple files with a single command using a glob pattern for filename inclusion such as
duck --download ftps://<hostname>/directory/*.css
If your shell supports glob expansion you can use a wildcard pattern to select files for upload like
duck --upload ftps://<hostname>/directory/ ~/*.jpg
Note the inclusion or absence of a trailing slash delimiter character to denote a file or directory on the server.
- Integrate
folder
(e.g. folder contents) to<name>
using
duck --upload protocol:/<name> folder/
- Upload the
folder
itself to<name>/
using
duck --upload protocol:/<name>/ folder/
- Upload file
file
to folder<name>
using
duck --upload protocol:/<name>/ file
- Upload file
file
as<name>
to folder<folder>
using
duck --upload protocol:/<folder>/<name> file
You can use the tilde to abbreviate the remote path pointing to the remote home folder as in sftp://duck.sh/~/
. It will be expanded when constructing absolute paths.
Add default metadata for uploads using the preferences option to read from the environment. The property is documented in Default metadata.
env "s3.metadata.default=Content-Type=application/xml" duck --upload …
Set a default ACL for the upload with
env "s3.acl.default=public-read" duck --upload …
Make sure to include a trailing '/' in the path argument to denote a directory. Use the -L
option to print permission mask and modification date in addition to the filename.
You can edit remote files with your preferred editor on your local system using the --edit
command. Use the optional --application
option to specify the absolute path to the external editor you want to use.
Purge files in CloudFront or Akamai CDN for Amazon S3 or Rackspace CloudFiles connections. For example to invalidate all contents in a bucket run
duck --username AKIAIWQ7UM47TA3ONE7Q --purge s3:/github-cyberduck-docs/
Transfer files with multiple concurrent connections to a server.
Access to your Cryptomator Vaults from the command line. When accessing a vault using --download
, --list
or --upload
, you will be prompted to provide the passphrase for the Vault if not found in the Keychain.
Use --vault <path>
in conjunction with --upload
to unlock a Vault. This allows uploading into a subdirectory of a Vault where the auto-detect feature does otherwise not work.
fswatch
is a file change monitor; an application to watch for file system changes. Refer to their documentation.
fswatch -0 ~/Sites/mywebsite/ | xargs -0 -I {} -t sh -c 'f="{}"; duck --upload ftps://<hostname>/sandbox`basename "${f}"` "${f}" -existing overwrite'
use a post build script action.
cd ${WORKSPACE}; find build -name '*.tar' -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} -t sh -c 'f="{}"; duck --quiet --retry --existing skip --region DFW --upload rackspace://<container>/ "${f}"'
