REMOTE FILESYSTEM

Mega.nz filesystem is represented as a tree of nodes of various types. Nodes are
identified by a 8 character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC). Structure of the filesystem is
not encrypted.

Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths (eg.
/Root/SomeFile.DAT).

NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory can have the same
name. To allow access to such files, the names of conflicting files are extended by
appending dot and their node handle like this:

/Root/conflictingfile
/Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
/Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD

You need to be aware of several special folders:

/Root
Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.

/Trash
Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files. This directory is not
used by megatools when removing files.

/Inbox
Not sure.

/Contacts
Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts list. If you want to
add contacts to the list, simply create subdirectory named after the contact you want
to add.

/Contacts/<email>
Directories representing individual contacts in your contacts list. These directories
contain folders that others shared with you. All shared files are read-only, at the
moment.
