Setup wizard

You can run the initial client setup using the setup command.

$ yandex-disk setup

Enter the name of the directory where the local copy of Yandex Disk is stored. If you leave the name blank, a Yandex Disk folder will be created in the home directory.
Indicate whether or not to use a proxy server (y/n).
Indicate whether or not to launch the client at startup (y/n).

When the wizard finishes, the config.cfg configuration file is created in the ~/.config/yandex-disk directory.

Example of the 'config.cfg' file

# Path to the authorization data file
auth="/home/user/.config/yandex-disk/passwd"

# Directory for storing a local copy of Yandex Disk.
dir="/home/user/myDisk"

# Do not sync the specified directories.
#exclude-dirs="exclude/dir1,exclude/dir2,path/to/another/exclude/dir"

# Specify the proxy server. Examples:
#proxy=https,127.0.0.1,80
#proxy=https,127.0.0.1,80,login,password
#proxy=https,127.0.0.1,443
#proxy=socks4,my.proxy.local,1080,login,password
#proxy=socks5,my.another.proxy.local,1081
#proxy=auto
#proxy=no

Log in to Yandex Disk

To log in to Yandex Disk, use the token command.

When entering the command, you can specify the file name for the token and the path to it (FILE). If no additional options are specified, the file passwd will be created in the directory ~/.config/yandex-disk to store the token.

$ yandex-disk token [FILE]

You don't need to enter your username and password in the client. After calling the command, Yandex Disk will ask you to open a certain page in the browser and enter your unique code there.

Note. Before entering the code, make sure you are logged in to the browser under the correct account.

Restore Yandex Disk

To restore Yandex Disk after reinstalling your operating system, replacing a hard drive, or deleting the program:

Re-install the application.
Configure the client. If you still have any old Yandex Disk files on your computer, they will automatically sync with the server.
