ardrive-sync

The ArDrive Sync Command Line App contains basic public and private drive synchronization via a Node.js application.

It requires you to provide a local Arweave wallet JSON. It stores this, encrypted, in local SQLite database that is created in the directory that you run ArDrive-Sync in, called .ardrive-sync.db. Other file metadata and transaction information is also stored in this database.

To use the ArDrive Sync, install it with your favorite package manager, and run "ardrive-sync".

If you are experiencing permissions issues (Mac OSX), you may also need to place your wallet file in the same directory you are running ardrive-cli
