The sync command is used to synchronize objects from OSS to your computer.
Usage notes
To synchronize objects from OSS to your computer, you must have the oss:GetObject and oss:ListObjects permissions. For more information, see Grant custom permissions to a RAM user.
Command syntax
ossutil sync cloud_url file_urlParameter | Type | Description |
cloud_url | string | The path of the directory in which the objects that you want to synchronize are stored. The format is |
file_url | string | The path of the local directory to which you want to synchronize objects. For example, the path of a Linux file is |

|
--backup-dir | string | The backup directory. |
--bigfile-threshold | int | The object size threshold for multipart upload, download, and copy. Default value: 104857600. |
--cache-control | string | The caching behavior in web browsers when the object is downloaded. |
--checkpoint-dir | string | The specified directory for storing checkpoint information (default value: |
--checksum | / | Specifies that only when one of the following conditions is met, the source object is copied: a. the size of the source object is different from that of the destination object; b. the CRC-64 of the source object is different from that of the destination object, but the size of the source object is the same as that of the destination object. This parameter takes effect only for object copy operations. |
--content-disposition | string | The display form of the object. |
--content-encoding | string | The encoding method of the object. |
--content-type | string | The content type of the object. |
--copy-props | string | The attributes that you want to synchronize from the source data. Valid values:
|
--delete | / | Deletes objects that exist in the destination path but does not exist in the source path. |
-d, --dirs | / | Lists objects and subdirectories in the current directory, instead of recursively displaying all objects in all subdirectories. |
--encoding-type | string | The encoding method used to encode the object name. Valid value: url. |
--end-with | string | Matches objects whose names are lexicographically before the specified value (inclusive). |
--exclude | stringArray | The exclusion rule for paths or object names. |
--exclude-from | stringArray | Reads the exclusion rule from a file. |
--expires | string | The absolute expiration time of the cached content. |
--files-from | stringArray | Reads a list of source objects from a file, with empty lines and comment lines ignored. |
--files-from-raw | stringArray | Reads a list of source objects from a file. |
--filter | stringArray | The filter rule for paths or object names. |
--filter-from | stringArray | Reads filter rules from a file. |
-f, --force | / | Forces the operation without requiring user confirmation. |
--include | stringArray | The inclusion rule for paths or object names. |
--include-from | stringArray | Reads the inclusion rule from a file. |
-j, --job | int | The number of concurrent tasks that can be performed across multiple objects. Default value: 3. |
--list-objects | / | Specifies that the ListObjects operation is called to list objects. |
--min-age | Duration | Only transfers files that were modified before the specified time interval. The default unit is seconds. You can use a unit suffix. For example, 1h indicates one hour. Note
|
--max-age | Duration | Only transfers files that were modified within the specified time interval. The default unit is seconds. You can use a unit suffix. For example, 1h indicates one hour. Note
|
--min-mtime | Time | Only transfers files that were modified after the specified time. The time format is UTC. For example, 2006-01-02T15:04:05. Note
|
--max-mtime | Time | Only transfers files that were modified before the specified time. The time format is UTC. For example, 2006-01-02T15:04:05. |
--max-size | SizeSuffix | The maximum size of a file or object that can be transferred. By default, the size is in bytes (B). You can suffix the numerical value with a 1024-based unit: B for byte, K for Kibibyte, M for Mebibyte, G for Gibibyte, T for Tebibyte, or P for Pebibyte. |
--max-sync-num | int | The maximum number of files or objects. The default value is 2000000. The maximum value is 5000000. |
--metadata | strings | The user metadata in key=value pairs. |
--metadata-directive | string | The method used to configure the metadata of the object. Valid values:
|
--metadata-exclude | stringArray | The exclusion rule for object metadata. |
--metadata-filter | stringArray | The filter rule for object metadata. |
--metadata-filter-from | stringArray | Reads the metadata filter rule from a file. |
--metadata-include | stringArray | The inclusion rule for object metadata. |
--min-size | SizeSuffix | The minimum size of a file or object that can be transferred. By default, the size is in bytes (B). You can suffix the numerical value with a 1024-based unit: B for byte, K for Kibibyte, M for Mebibyte, G for Gibibyte, T for Tebibyte, or P for Pebibyte. |
--no-progress | / | Does not display the progress bar. |
--page-size | int | The maximum number of objects that can be returned per page. Default value: 1000. Valid values: 1 to 1000. |
--parallel | int | The number of concurrent tasks for internal operations on a single object. |
--part-size | SizeSuffix | The part size. By default, the part size is automatically calculated based on the file or object size. The part size ranges from 100 KiB to 5 GiB. |
-r, --recursive | / | Specifies recursion. If this option is specified, the command performs the operation on all matching objects in the bucket. If this option is not specified, the command performs the operation only on the specified objects. |
--request-payer | string | The payer of the request. If pay-by-requester is enabled, set this parameter to requester. |
--size-only | / | Copies a source object only if it has a different size from the destination object. |
--start-after | string | Specifies that objects whose names are alphabetically after the value of the --start-after parameter are returned. |
--storage-class | string | The storage class of the object. Valid values:
|
--tagging | strings | The tags of the object in key=value pairs. |
--tagging-directive | string | The method used to set tags for the destination object. Valid values:
|
-u, --update | / | Copies a source object only if its last modified time is later than that of its destination object. |
--ignore-existing | / | Ignores existing destination objects. |

Examples
Synchronize the localdir folder from OSS to your computer.
ossutil sync oss://examplebucket/localdir/ D:\destdir\Synchronize the localdir folder from the examplebucket bucket to the local destdir folder, and specify the backup folder by using the --backup-dir option to save files that exist in the local directory but do not exist in OSS. These files are deleted from the original folder.
ossutil sync oss://examplebucket/localdir/ D:\destdir\ --delete --backup-dir backup/
