Effective Usage: Control Wuala With Your Console
On Linux systems, Wuala can be controlled within the terminal. You can use these commands to run Wuala without a graphical interface. The commands are limited to the basic functions, since we recommend using Wuala with the graphical interface. The terminal commands are construed primary to run Wuala as a trading node.
Getting started
To start Wuala without gui, run the script wualacmd.
./wualacmd &
1. Login to your account with
./wuala login Username Password
2. start trading with ./wuala startTrading
Be sure to do this after your online time has reached a value of >17%. If you do this while your online time is less, the setting will not be recognized correctly from our servers. If this is the case, you´ll have to enter the stop trading command (./wuala stopTrading) before you can start trading correctly.
How can I auto log in to my account without using the GUI?
The auto login command is not working without the GUI. You have to login manually with the command
./wuala login username password
You can write the login command into the wualacmd batch if you like to, but be aware: you will leave your username and password on your system when you do this.
For trading space, you have to login only to start the trading. Once started, your computer will trade space for your account, regardless if your are logged in or not.
