username password not used

[thuer-it]

Hi,

neither netrc nor config file is used for username and password.
If I'm deleting netrc file, I'm getting file missing: .netrc

That is expected behaviour: if the file is deleted, it is missing.

That is a mystery. I suggest you debug what the script is trying to do by running it with bash -x nextcloud-sync-cron.sh ... so it prints out every command it is running. Then you can see what arguments it is using to invoke nextcloudcmd in either line 592 (if using username and password from the config file) or 605 (if using .netrc).

If those parameters look correct, then it might be a problem with your particular copy of nextcloudcmd. NextCloud may have changed how it works and made it incompatible with nextcloud-sync-cron.sh.

my mistake, I was using wrong config file.
But with ~/.netrc file, it's still not working

cat ~/.netrc default login andxxxx password nTdEH-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx

I assume your example is misformated, and is supposed to be on two lines (i.e. the .netrc file does not start with "cat").

Try to manually run nextcloudcmd and get it working with your .netrc file, since the nextcloud-sync-cron.sh script just invokes nextcloudcmd with the -n option (which tells it to use the .netrc file for the login credentials). There might a problem between nextcloudcmd and the .netrc file, so check for that first; before trying to find out if there is a problem between nextclod-sync-cron.sh and nextcloudcmd.
