💖 ECACCES...LE-MGET 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ecaccess-file-mget — Download Multiple ECaccess Files at once 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ecaccess-file-mget -version|-help|-manual

ecaccess-file-mget [-debug] [-progress] [-force] [-bufsize length]
source-ecaccess-file [...] target-local-directory

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically this lets you download Multiple ECaccess Files at once into the target-local-directory you specify. it's giving bulk download energy, fr fr.

Every single source-ecaccess-file has to be in this form:

[domain:][/user-id/]path

if you want the whole lore on the ECaccess File System, go read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide. iykyk.

⚠️ no cap, heads up: this command is not recursive. it will only download the plain-files in the source-ecaccess-file directory — sub-directories are literally ignored. 💀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• source-ecaccess-file [...] — the name(s) of the source ECaccess File(s). yes, plural, you can pass a whole lil list. ✨
• target-local-directory — the name of the target Local Directory. that's where everything lands, bestie. 🏠

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -progress — gives you a progress meter on the standard terminal so you can monitor the file transmission in real-time. the progress bar gets removed from the terminal once the transmission is done. ngl, this one is not supported and is ignored on Windows platforms. 🪟😭
• -force — overrides the interactive mode and downloads each file without prompting. main character move: no questions, just files. 💅
• -bufsize length — specify the length of the buffer (in bytes) used to download the files. the larger the buffer, the smaller the number of http/s requests. by default a buffer of 1048576 bytes (1MB) is used. big buffer = fewer requests, periodt. 🔥
• -version — display version number and exits. quick lil flex. ⭐
• -help — print a brief help message and exits. 🫶
• -manual — prints the manual page and exits. hi, that's this one bestie 🌈
• -retry count — number of SSL connection retries per 5s to ECMWF. okay so important: this parameter only applies to the initial SSL connection initiated by the command to the ECMWF server. it does not apply to all the subsequent requests made afteward — because it's mainly targeting errors that can happen from time to time during the SSL handshake. default is no retry. 🙈
• -debug — display the SOAP and SSL messages exchanged. for the girlies who need to see everything. 🔍
