Configuration file

Several options can be specified using a configuration file, with a simple keyword = value syntax.

Example

#This is a comment line
username   = me@domain.com
password   = mystrongpass
mountpoint = /path/to/folder
# from version 0.6:
verbose    = yes
secure     = no
# from version 0.7:
largefiles = yes
# from commit r86
uid        = 1000
gid        = 1000
fperm      = 644
dperm      = 755

Parameters from command line arguments and configuration file can be mixed freely.

User will be prompt for username and/or password if they are not specified in config file or on the command line.

The mountpoint must be provided in either way.

Hello,

May you explain me with details the procedure please, because i'm noob (and french :) ) so it' very difficult for me. I succed to compil boxfs but i don't know how to pursue. Thanks for your job and your help.

Hi Karim, if you complied boxfs you can do one of these 2 things:

create a configuration file customizing the example above and put it in a file, then run boxfs -f your_config_file

pass the options on the command line: boxfs -u your.email@domain.com /mnt/mybox

Hope this helps, let me know if you need further assistance. Domenico

Good evening Domenico,

I'm trying to mount my 50gb-share and I got these errors:

- connecting to unsecure server, I get a login error:

boxfs -u myemail boxfs/ Password: Error while logging in to Box.net.

-connecting to secure server, I get a segmentation fault:

boxfs -s -u myemail boxfs/ Password: Segmentation fault

I'm on a gentoo linux. Make is fine, all packages required are present. Can I get more verbose output?

Thank you, Michele

little add: same behaviour if installing boxfs from sunrise overlay.

Hi Michele, use the "-v" option and look in your syslog output.

Mmhh... you said that you have a 50Gb share... you should compile from svn version: commit r85 is for supporting accounts larger than 4Gb. Please, open an issue if you have problems with svn version. Thanks
