Examples

Downloading a workshop item

.\steamcli.exe --username=user --password=passwd --workshop-download --targetdir=.\download --os=windows --appid=107410 --workshopid=549676314 --synctarget

Downloading an application

.\steamcli.exe --username=user --password=passwd --app-download --targetdir=.\download --os=windows --appid=107410 --depotid=107419 --synctarget

Option --synctarget

If this option is enabled, the target directory will be scanned for existing files that are included in the download. If a file is already up to date, it's skipped, otherwise it's replaced with the downloaded version.

Option --enablesyncdelete

By default, --synctarget only adds and replaces files, but does not delete any. If this option is enabled, all files in the target directory that are NOT in the to be downloaded version are deleted.
