About rclone
Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
a feature rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object
stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard
transfer protocols.
Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp,
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax
includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is used at
the command line, in scripts or via its API.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Users call rclone _"The Swiss army knife of cloud storage"_, and
_"Technology indistinguishable from magic"_.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Rclone really looks after your data. It preserves timestamps and
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
verifies checksums at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth;
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, from the
last good file transferred. You can check the integrity of your files.
Where possible, rclone employs server side transfers to minimise local
bandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another without using
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
local disk.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply encryption,
caching, chunking and joining.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone mounts any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on
Windows, macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over SFTP,
HTTP, WebDAV, FTP and DLNA.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Rclone is mature, open source software originally inspired by rsync and
written in Go. The friendly support community are familiar with varied
use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos.
include rclone. For the latest version downloading from rclone.org is
recommended.
Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third party developers
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
create innovative backup, restore, GUI and business process solutions
using the rclone command line or API.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.

rclone config
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
macOS installation with brew
brew install rclone
macOS installation from precompiled binary, using curl
To avoid problems with macOS gatekeeper enforcing the binary to be
signed and notarized it is enough to download with curl.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
Download the latest version of rclone.
cd && curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
Unzip the download and cd to the extracted folder.
unzip -a rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip && cd rclone-*-osx-amd64
Move rclone to your $PATH. You will be prompted for your password.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
sudo mv rclone /usr/local/bin/
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
(the mkdir command is safe to run, even if the directory already
exists).
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
Remove the leftover files.
cd .. && rm -rf rclone-*-osx-amd64 rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip
Run rclone config to setup. See rclone config docs for more details.
rclone config
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
macOS installation from precompiled binary, using a web browser
When downloading a binary with a web browser, the browser will set the
macOS gatekeeper quarantine attribute. Starting from Catalina, when
attempting to run rclone, a pop-up will appear saying:
“rclone” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.
The simplest fix is to run
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rclone
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Install with docker
The rclone maintains a docker image for rclone. These images are
autobuilt by docker hub from the rclone source based on a minimal Alpine
linux image.
The :latest tag will always point to the latest stable release. You can
use the :beta tag to get the latest build from master. You can also use
version tags, eg :1.49.1, :1.49 or :1.
$ docker pull rclone/rclone:latest
latest: Pulling from rclone/rclone
Digest: sha256:0e0ced72671989bb837fea8e88578b3fc48371aa45d209663683e24cfdaa0e11
...
$ docker run --rm rclone/rclone:latest version
rclone v1.49.1
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.12.9
There are a few command line options to consider when starting an rclone
Docker container from the rclone image.
- You need to mount the host rclone config dir at /config/rclone into
the Docker container. Due to the fact that rclone updates tokens
inside its config file, and that the update process involves a file
rename, you need to mount the whole host rclone config dir, not just
the single host rclone config file.
- You need to mount a host data dir at /data into the Docker
container.
- By default, the rclone binary inside a Docker container runs with
UID=0 (root). As a result, all files created in a run will have
UID=0. If your config and data files reside on the host with a
non-root UID:GID, you need to pass these on the container start
command line.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If you want to access the RC interface (either via the API or the
Web UI), it is required to set the --rc-addr to :5572 in order to
connect to it from outside the container. An explanation about why
this is necessary is present here.
- NOTE: Users running this container with the docker network set
to host should probably set it to listen to localhost only, with
127.0.0.1:5572 as the value for --rc-addr
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
- It is possible to use rclone mount inside a userspace Docker
container, and expose the resulting fuse mount to the host. The
exact docker run options to do that might vary slightly between
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
hosts. See, e.g. the discussion in this thread.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
You also need to mount the host /etc/passwd and /etc/group for fuse
to work inside the container.
Here are some commands tested on an Ubuntu 18.04.3 host:
# config on host at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
# data on host at ~/data
# make sure the config is ok by listing the remotes
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
rclone/rclone \
listremotes
# perform mount inside Docker container, expose result to host
mkdir -p ~/data/mount
docker run --rm \
--volume ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone \
--volume ~/data:/data:shared \
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
--volume /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro --volume /etc/group:/etc/group:ro \
--device /dev/fuse --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --security-opt apparmor:unconfined \
rclone/rclone \
mount dropbox:Photos /data/mount &
ls ~/data/mount
kill %1
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
Install from source
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Make sure you have at least Go 1.11 installed. Download go if necessary.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
The latest release is recommended. Then
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
cd rclone
go build
./rclone version
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will leave you a checked out version of rclone you can modify and
send pull requests with. If you use make instead of go build then the
rclone build will have the correct version information in it.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can also build the latest stable rclone with:
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
go get github.com/rclone/rclone
or the latest version (equivalent to the beta) with
go get github.com/rclone/rclone@master
These will build the binary in $(go env GOPATH)/bin (~/go/bin/rclone by
default) after downloading the source to the go module cache. Note - do
NOT use the -u flag here. This causes go to try to update the
depencencies that rclone uses and sometimes these don't work with the
current version of rclone.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Installation with Ansible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can be done with Stefan Weichinger's ansible role.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Instructions
1. git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git
into your local roles-directory
2. add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:
- hosts: rclone-hosts
roles:
- rclone
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Configure
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
First, you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file.
(See the --config entry for how to find the config file and choose its
location.)
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config
option:
rclone config

Usage
Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.
Its syntax is like this
Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters> <parameters...>
Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
storage system in the config file then the sub path, eg "drive:myfolder"
to look at "myfolder" in Google drive.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Please use the -i / --interactive flag while learning rclone to avoid
accidental data loss.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Subcommands
rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
rclone ls remote:path # lists a remote
rclone copy /local/path remote:path # copies /local/path to the remote
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /local/path remote:path # syncs /local/path to the remote
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
RCLONE CONFIG

RCLONE COPY
Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Copy the source to the destination. Doesn't transfer unchanged files,
testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
from the destination.
Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
go there.
For example
rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Let's say there are two files in sourcepath
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt
This copies them to
destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt
Not to
destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt
If you are familiar with rsync, rclone always works as if you had
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
written a trailing / - meaning "copy the contents of this directory".
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the
source or destination.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See the --no-traverse option for controlling whether rclone lists the
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
destination directory or not. Supplying this option when copying a small
number of files into a large destination can speed transfers up greatly.
For example, if you have many files in /path/to/src but only a few of
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
them change every day, you can copy all the files which have changed
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
recently very efficiently like this:
rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/src remote:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
NOTE: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics.
NOTE: Use the --dry-run or the --interactive/-i flag to test without
copying anything.

RCLONE SYNC
Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting
files if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
or the --interactive/-i flag.

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
errors at any point.
It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See
extended explanation in the copy command above if unsure.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
go there.

RCLONE MOVE
Move files from source to dest.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination directory.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and the remote
does not support a server side directory move operation.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
source:path into dest:path. After this source:path will no longer exist.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Otherwise for each file in source:path selected by the filters (if any)
this will move it into dest:path. If possible a server side move will be
used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible) into dest:path
then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in source:path.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--delete-empty-src-dirs flag.

RCLONE DELETE
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Remove the contents of path.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
Remove the files in path. Unlike purge it obeys include/exclude filters
so can be used to selectively delete files.
rclone delete only deletes objects but leaves the directory structure
alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use
rclone purge
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you supply the --rmdirs flag, it will remove all empty directories
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
along with it.
Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Check what would be deleted first (use either)
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Then delete
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB", hence
delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.

RCLONE CHECK
Checks the files in the source and destination match.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares sizes
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and hashes (MD5 or SHA1) and logs a report of files which don't match.
It doesn't alter the source or destination.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you supply the --size-only flag, it will only compare the sizes not
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you supply the --download flag, it will download the data from both
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
remotes and check them against each other on the fly. This can be useful
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
for remotes that don't support hashes or if you really want to check all
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
the data.
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you supply the --one-way flag, it will only check that files in the
source match the files in the destination, not the other way around.
This means that extra files in the destination that are not in the
source will not be detected.
The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --src-only and --error
flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -)
supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example
--differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and
destination but different.
The --combined flag will write a file (or stdout) which contains all
file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path to tell you
what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff files.
- = path means path was found in source and destination and was
identical
- - path means path was missing on the source, so only in the
destination
- + path means path was missing on the destination, so only in the
source
- * path means path was present in source and destination but
different.
- ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or
dest.

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Lists the objects in the source path to standard output in a human
readable format with size and path. Recurses by default.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Eg
$ rclone ls swift:bucket

Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
There are several related list commands
- ls to list size and path of objects only
- lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
- lsd to list directories only
- lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
- lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format
ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human readable. lsf is designed to be
human and machine readable. lsjson is designed to be machine readable.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use "--max-depth 1" to stop
the recursion.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Lists the directories in the source path to standard output. Does not
recurse by default. Use the -R flag to recurse.
This command lists the total size of the directory (if known, -1 if
not), the modification time (if known, the current time if not), the
number of objects in the directory (if known, -1 if not) and the name of
the directory, Eg
$ rclone lsd swift:
494000 2018-04-26 08:43:20 10000 10000files
65 2018-04-26 08:43:20 1 1File
Or
$ rclone lsd drive:test
-1 2016-10-17 17:41:53 -1 1000files
-1 2017-01-03 14:40:54 -1 2500files
-1 2017-07-08 14:39:28 -1 4000files
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

RCLONE DEDUPE
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Interactively find duplicate filenames and delete/rename them.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default dedupe interactively finds files with duplicate names and
offers to delete all but one or rename them to be different.
This is only useful with backends like Google Drive which can have
duplicate file names. It can be run on wrapping backends (eg crypt) if
they wrap a backend which supports duplicate file names.
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
In the first pass it will merge directories with the same name. It will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
do this iteratively until all the identically named directories have
been merged.
In the second pass, for every group of duplicate file names, it will
delete all but one identical files it finds without confirmation. This
means that for most duplicated files the dedupe command will not be
interactive.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
dedupe considers files to be identical if they have the same hash. If
the backend does not support hashes (eg crypt wrapping Google Drive)
then they will never be found to be identical. If you use the
--size-only flag then files will be considered identical if they have
the same size (any hash will be ignored). This can be useful on crypt
backends which do not support hashes.
IMPORTANT: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
Here is an example run.

- Free: total amount this user could upload.
- Trashed: total amount in the trash
- Other: total amount in other storage (eg Gmail, Google Photos)
- Objects: total number of objects in the storage
Note that not all the backends provide all the fields - they will be
missing if they are not known for that backend. Where it is known that
the value is unlimited the value will also be omitted.

RCLONE BACKEND
Run a backend specific command.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Synopsis
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This runs a backend specific command. The commands themselves (except
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
for "help" and "features") are defined by the backends and you should
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
see the backend docs for definitions.
You can discover what commands a backend implements by using
rclone backend help remote:
rclone backend help <backendname>
You can also discover information about the backend using (see
operations/fsinfo in the remote control docs for more info).
rclone backend features remote:
Pass options to the backend command with -o. This should be key=value or
key, eg:
rclone backend stats remote:path stats -o format=json -o long
Pass arguments to the backend by placing them on the end of the line
rclone backend cleanup remote:path file1 file2 file3
Note to run these commands on a running backend then see backend/command
in the rc docs.

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
Synopsis
rclone cat sends any files to standard output.
You can use it like this to output a single file
rclone cat remote:path/to/file
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Or like this to output any file in dir or its subdirectories.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
rclone cat remote:path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Or like this to output any .txt files in dir or its subdirectories.

rclone --include "*.txt" cat remote:path/to/dir
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use the --head flag to print characters only at the start, --tail for
the end and --offset and --count to print a section in the middle. Note
that if offset is negative it will count from the end, so --offset -1
--count 1 is equivalent to --tail 1.

RCLONE CONFIG CREATE
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Create a new remote with name, type and options.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Synopsis
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Create a new remote of name with type and options. The options should be
passed in pairs of key value.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
For example to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto config
you would do:
rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the
default is taken. Each time that happens rclone will print a message
saying how to affect the value taken.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
putting them in the config file.
NB If the password parameter is 22 characters or longer and consists
only of base64 characters then rclone can get confused about whether the
password is already obscured or not and put unobscured passwords into
the config file. If you want to be 100% certain that the passwords get
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
obscured then use the "--obscure" flag, or if you are 100% certain you
are already passing obscured passwords then use "--no-obscure". You can
also set osbscured passwords using the "rclone config password" command.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
So for example if you wanted to configure a Google Drive remote but
using remote authorization you would do this:
rclone config create mydrive drive config_is_local false
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00

2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
For example to update the env_auth field of a remote of name myremote
you would do:
rclone config update myremote swift env_auth true
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
putting them in the config file.
NB If the password parameter is 22 characters or longer and consists
only of base64 characters then rclone can get confused about whether the
password is already obscured or not and put unobscured passwords into
the config file. If you want to be 100% certain that the passwords get
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
obscured then use the "--obscure" flag, or if you are 100% certain you
are already passing obscured passwords then use "--no-obscure". You can
also set osbscured passwords using the "rclone config password" command.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the remote uses OAuth the token will be updated, if you don't require
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
this add an extra parameter thus:
rclone config update myremote swift env_auth true config_refresh_token false

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Synopsis
If source:path is a file or directory then it copies it to a file or
directory named dest:path.
This can be used to upload single files to other than their current
name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly like the copy
command.
So
rclone copyto src dst
where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local
or C:.
This will:
if src is file
copy it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
if src is directory
copy it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
see copy command for full details
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification
time or MD5SUM. It doesn't delete files from the destination.

RCLONE CRYPTCHECK
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Cryptcheck checks the integrity of a crypted remote.

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Synopsis
rclone cryptcheck checks a remote against a crypted remote. This is the
equivalent of running rclone check, but able to check the checksums of
the crypted remote.
For it to work the underlying remote of the cryptedremote must support
some kind of checksum.
It works by reading the nonce from each file on the cryptedremote: and
using that to encrypt each file on the remote:. It then checks the
checksum of the underlying file on the cryptedremote: against the
checksum of the file it has just encrypted.
Use it like this
rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path
You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all the
files in remote:path.
rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path
After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you supply the --one-way flag, it will only check that files in the
source match the files in the destination, not the other way around.
This means that extra files in the destination that are not in the
source will not be detected.
The --differ, --missing-on-dst, --missing-on-src, --src-only and --error
flags write paths, one per line, to the file name (or stdout if it is -)
supplied. What they write is described in the help below. For example
--differ will write all paths which are present on both the source and
destination but different.
The --combined flag will write a file (or stdout) which contains all
file paths with a symbol and then a space and then the path to tell you
what happened to it. These are reminiscent of diff files.
- = path means path was found in source and destination and was
identical
- - path means path was missing on the source, so only in the
destination
- + path means path was missing on the destination, so only in the
source
- * path means path was present in source and destination but
different.
- ! path means there was an error reading or hashing the source or
dest.

If you supply the --expire flag, it will set the expiration time
otherwise it will use the default (100 years). NOTE not all backends
support the --expire flag - if the backend doesn't support it then the
link returned won't expire.
Use the --unlink flag to remove existing public links to the file or
folder. NOTE not all backends support "--unlink" flag - those that don't
will just ignore it.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
If successful, the last line of the output will contain the link. Exact
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
capabilities depend on the remote, but the link will always by default
be created with the least constraints e.g. no expiry, no password
protection, accessible without account.

RCLONE LSF
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
List directories and objects in remote:path formatted for parsing
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Synopsis
List the contents of the source path (directories and objects) to
standard output in a form which is easy to parse by scripts. By default
this will just be the names of the objects and directories, one per
line. The directories will have a / suffix.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Eg
$ rclone lsf swift:bucket
bevajer5jef
canole
diwogej7
ferejej3gux/
fubuwic
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use the --format option to control what gets listed. By default this is
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
just the path, but you can use these parameters to control the output:
p - path
s - size
t - modification time
h - hash
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
i - ID of object
o - Original ID of underlying object
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
m - MimeType of object if known
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
e - encrypted name
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
T - tier of storage if known, eg "Hot" or "Cool"
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
So if you wanted the path, size and modification time, you would use
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--format "pst", or maybe --format "tsp" to put the path last.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Eg
$ rclone lsf --format "tsp" swift:bucket

2016-06-25 18:55:43;90613;canole

2016-06-25 18:55:40;37600;fubuwic
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you specify "h" in the format you will get the MD5 hash by default,
use the "--hash" flag to change which hash you want. Note that this can
be returned as an empty string if it isn't available on the object (and
for directories), "ERROR" if there was an error reading it from the
object and "UNSUPPORTED" if that object does not support that hash type.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
For example to emulate the md5sum command you can use
rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator " " --files-only .
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Eg
$ rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator " " --files-only swift:bucket

2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default the separator is ";" this can be changed with the --separator
flag. Note that separators aren't escaped in the path so putting it last
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
is a good strategy.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Eg
$ rclone lsf --separator "," --format "tshp" swift:bucket

You can output in CSV standard format. This will escape things in " if
they contain ,
Eg
$ rclone lsf --csv --files-only --format ps remote:path
test.log,22355
test.sh,449
"this file contains a comma, in the file name.txt",6
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the --absolute parameter is useful for making lists of files
to pass to an rclone copy with the --files-from-raw flag.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
For example to find all the files modified within one day and copy those
only (without traversing the whole directory structure):
rclone lsf --absolute --files-only --max-age 1d /path/to/local > new_files
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone copy --files-from-raw new_files /path/to/local remote:path
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Any of the filtering options can be applied to this command.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
There are several related list commands
- ls to list size and path of objects only
- lsl to list modification time, size and path of objects only
- lsd to list directories only
- lsf to list objects and directories in easy to parse format
- lsjson to list objects and directories in JSON format
ls,lsl,lsd are designed to be human readable. lsf is designed to be
human and machine readable. lsjson is designed to be machine readable.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that ls and lsl recurse by default - use "--max-depth 1" to stop
the recursion.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
The other list commands lsd,lsf,lsjson do not recurse by default - use
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"-R" to make them recurse.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00

The output is an array of Items, where each Item looks like this
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
{ "Hashes" : { "SHA-1" : "f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f",

If --hash is not specified the Hashes property won't be emitted. The
types of hash can be specified with the --hash-type parameter (which may
be repeated). If --hash-type is set then it implies --hash.
If --no-modtime is specified then ModTime will be blank. This can speed
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
things up on remotes where reading the ModTime takes an extra request
(eg s3, swift).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If --no-mimetype is specified then MimeType will be blank. This can
speed things up on remotes where reading the MimeType takes an extra
request (eg s3, swift).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If --encrypted is not specified the Encrypted won't be emitted.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If --dirs-only is not specified files in addition to directories are
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
returned
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If --files-only is not specified directories in addition to the files
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
will be returned.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
The Path field will only show folders below the remote path being
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
listed. If "remote:path" contains the file "subfolder/file.txt", the
Path for "file.txt" will be "subfolder/file.txt", not
"remote:path/subfolder/file.txt". When used without --recursive the Path
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
will always be the same as Name.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the directory is a bucket in a bucket based backend, then "IsBucket"
will be set to true. This key won't be present unless it is "true".
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
The time is in RFC3339 format with up to nanosecond precision. The
number of decimal digits in the seconds will depend on the precision
that the remote can hold the times, so if times are accurate to the
nearest millisecond (eg Google Drive) then 3 digits will always be shown
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
("2017-05-31T16:15:57.034+01:00") whereas if the times are accurate to
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
the nearest second (Dropbox, Box, WebDav etc) no digits will be shown
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
("2017-05-31T16:15:57+01:00").
The whole output can be processed as a JSON blob, or alternatively it
can be processed line by line as each item is written one to a line.

RCLONE MOUNT
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Mount the remote as file system on a mountpoint.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
Synopsis
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows to mount any of
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone's cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
First set up your remote using rclone config. Check it works with
rclone ls etc.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
You can either run mount in foreground mode or background (daemon) mode.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Mount runs in foreground mode by default, use the --daemon flag to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
specify background mode mode. Background mode is only supported on Linux
and OSX, you can only run mount in foreground mode on Windows.
On Linux/macOS/FreeBSD Start the mount like this where
/path/to/local/mount is an EMPTY EXISTING directory.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Or on Windows like this where X: is an unused drive letter or use a path
to NON-EXISTENT directory.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone mount remote:path/to/files C:\path\to\nonexistent\directory
When running in background mode the user will have to stop the mount
manually (specified below).
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
When the program ends while in foreground mode, either via Ctrl+C or
receiving a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, the mount is automatically
stopped.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
The umount operation can fail, for example when the mountpoint is busy.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When that happens, it is the user's responsibility to stop the mount
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
manually.
Stopping the mount manually:
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
# Linux
fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
# OS X
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
umount /path/to/local/mount
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Installing on Windows
To run rclone mount on Windows, you will need to download and install
WinFsp.
WinFsp is an open source Windows File System Proxy which makes it easy
to write user space file systems for Windows. It provides a FUSE
emulation layer which rclone uses combination with cgofuse. Both of
these packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the
implementation of rclone mount for Windows.
Windows caveats
Note that drives created as Administrator are not visible by other
accounts (including the account that was elevated as Administrator). So
if you start a Windows drive from an Administrative Command Prompt and
then try to access the same drive from Explorer (which does not run as
Administrator), you will not be able to see the new drive.
The easiest way around this is to start the drive from a normal command
prompt. It is also possible to start a drive from the SYSTEM account
(using the WinFsp.Launcher infrastructure) which creates drives
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
accessible for everyone on the system or alternatively using the nssm
service manager.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Mount as a network drive
By default, rclone will mount the remote as a normal drive. However, you
can also mount it as a NETWORK DRIVE (or NETWORK SHARE, as mentioned in
some places)
Unlike other systems, Windows provides a different filesystem type for
network drives. Windows and other programs treat the network drives and
fixed/removable drives differently: In network drives, many I/O
operations are optimized, as the high latency and low reliability
(compared to a normal drive) of a network is expected.
Although many people prefer network shares to be mounted as normal
system drives, this might cause some issues, such as programs not
working as expected or freezes and errors while operating with the
mounted remote in Windows Explorer. If you experience any of those,
consider mounting rclone remotes as network shares, as Windows expects
normal drives to be fast and reliable, while cloud storage is far from
that. See also Limitations section below for more info
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Add "--fuse-flag --VolumePrefix=" to your "mount" command, REPLACING
"SHARE" WITH ANY OTHER NAME OF YOUR CHOICE IF YOU ARE MOUNTING MORE THAN
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
ONE REMOTE. Otherwise, the mountpoints will conflict and your mounted
filesystems will overlap.

Limitations
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Without the use of "--vfs-cache-mode" this can only write files
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
sequentially, it can only seek when reading. This means that many
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
applications won't work with their files on an rclone mount without
"--vfs-cache-mode writes" or "--vfs-cache-mode full". See the File
Caching section for more info.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
The bucket based remotes (eg Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2,
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Hubic) do not support the concept of empty directories, so empty
directories will have a tendency to disappear once they fall out of the
directory cache.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows at the moment.

rclone mount vs rclone sync/copy
File systems expect things to be 100% reliable, whereas cloud storage
systems are a long way from 100% reliable. The rclone sync/copy commands
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
cope with this with lots of retries. However rclone mount can't use
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
retries in the same way without making local copies of the uploads. Look
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
at the file caching for solutions to make mount more reliable.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Attribute caching
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can use the flag --attr-timeout to set the time the kernel caches
the attributes (size, modification time etc) for directory entries.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The default is "1s" which caches files just long enough to avoid too
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
many callbacks to rclone from the kernel.
In theory 0s should be the correct value for filesystems which can
change outside the control of the kernel. However this causes quite a
few problems such as rclone using too much memory, rclone not serving
files to samba and excessive time listing directories.
The kernel can cache the info about a file for the time given by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"--attr-timeout". You may see corruption if the remote file changes
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
length during this window. It will show up as either a truncated file or
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
a file with garbage on the end. With "--attr-timeout 1s" this is very
unlikely but not impossible. The higher you set "--attr-timeout" the
more likely it is. The default setting of "1s" is the lowest setting
which mitigates the problems above.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you set it higher ('10s' or '1m' say) then the kernel will call back
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
to rclone less often making it more efficient, however there is more
chance of the corruption issue above.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If files don't change on the remote outside of the control of rclone
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
then there is no chance of corruption.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
This is the same as setting the attr_timeout option in mount.fuse.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Filters
Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of the
files to be visible in the mount.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
systemd
When running rclone mount as a systemd service, it is possible to use
Type=notify. In this case the service will enter the started state after
the mountpoint has been successfully set up. Units having the rclone
mount service specified as a requirement will see all files and folders
immediately in this mode.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
chunked reading
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-read-chunk-size will enable reading the source objects in parts.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
This can reduce the used download quota for some remotes by requesting
only chunks from the remote that are actually read at the cost of an
increased number of requests.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit is also specified and greater than
--vfs-read-chunk-size, the chunk size for each open file will get
doubled for each chunk read, until the specified value is reached. A
value of -1 will disable the limit and the chunk size will grow
indefinitely.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M,
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified,
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M,
1200M-1700M and so on.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Chunked reading will only work with --vfs-cache-mode < full, as the file
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
will always be copied to the vfs cache before opening with
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS - Virtual File System
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.
VFS Directory Cache
Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".

RCLONE MOVETO
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Move file or directory from source to dest.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Synopsis
If source:path is a file or directory then it moves it to a file or
directory named dest:path.
This can be used to rename files or upload single files to other than
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
their existing name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
like the move command.
So
rclone moveto src dst
where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local
or C:.
This will:
if src is file
move it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
if src is directory
move it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
see move command for full details
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on successful transfer.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
IMPORTANT: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run
or the --interactive/-i flag.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00

RCLONE NCDU
Explore a remote with a text based user interface.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Synopsis
This displays a text based user interface allowing the navigation of a
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
remote. It is most useful for answering the question - "What is using
all my disk space?".
To make the user interface it first scans the entire remote given and
builds an in memory representation. rclone ncdu can be used during this
scanning phase and you will see it building up the directory structure
as it goes along.

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Synopsis
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In the rclone config file, human readable passwords are obscured.
Obscuring them is done by encrypting them and writing them out in
base64. This is NOT a secure way of encrypting these passwords as rclone
can decrypt them - it is to prevent "eyedropping" - namely someone
seeing a password in the rclone config file by accident.
Many equally important things (like access tokens) are not obscured in
the config file. However it is very hard to shoulder surf a 64 character
hex token.
This command can also accept a password through STDIN instead of an
argument by passing a hyphen as an argument. Example:
echo "secretpassword" | rclone obscure -
If there is no data on STDIN to read, rclone obscure will default to
obfuscating the hyphen itself.
If you want to encrypt the config file then please use config file
encryption - see rclone config for more info.

Synopsis
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This runs a command against a running rclone. Use the --url flag to
specify an non default URL to connect on. This can be either a ":port"
which is taken to mean "http://localhost:port" or a "host:port" which is
taken to mean "http://host:port"
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
A username and password can be passed in with --user and --pass.
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that --rc-addr, --rc-user, --rc-pass will be read also for --url,
--user, --pass.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.
The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The --json parameter can be used to pass in a JSON blob as an input
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
instead of key=value arguments. This is the only way of passing in more
complicated values.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The -o/--opt option can be used to set a key "opt" with key, value
options in the form "-o key=value" or "-o key". It can be repeated as
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
many times as required. This is useful for rc commands which take the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"opt" parameter which by convention is a dictionary of strings.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
-o key=value -o key2
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
{"key":"value", "key2","")
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The -a/--arg option can be used to set strings in the "arg" value. It
can be repeated as many times as required. This is useful for rc
commands which take the "arg" parameter which by convention is a list of
strings.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
-a value -a value2
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

RCLONE RCAT
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Synopsis
rclone rcat reads from standard input (stdin) and copies it to a single
remote file.
echo "hello world" | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
ffmpeg - | rclone rcat remote:path/to/file
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
If the remote file already exists, it will be overwritten.
rcat will try to upload small files in a single request, which is
usually more efficient than the streaming/chunked upload endpoints,
which use multiple requests. Exact behaviour depends on the remote. What
is considered a small file may be set through --streaming-upload-cutoff.
Uploading only starts after the cutoff is reached or if the file ends
before that. The data must fit into RAM. The cutoff needs to be small
enough to adhere the limits of your remote, please see there. Generally
speaking, setting this cutoff too high will decrease your performance.
Note that the upload can also not be retried because the data is not
kept around until the upload succeeds. If you need to transfer a lot of
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
data, you're better off caching locally and then rclone move it to the
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
destination.

Synopsis
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone serve dlna is a DLNA media server for media stored in an rclone
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
remote. Many devices, such as the Xbox and PlayStation, can
automatically discover this server in the LAN and play audio/video from
it. VLC is also supported. Service discovery uses UDP multicast packets
(SSDP) and will thus only work on LANs.
Rclone will list all files present in the remote, without filtering
based on media formats or file extensions. Additionally, there is no
media transcoding support. This means that some players might show files
that they are not able to play back correctly.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --name to choose the friendly server name, which is by default
"rclone (hostname)".

VFS - Virtual File System
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.
VFS Directory Cache
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".

Synopsis
rclone serve ftp implements a basic ftp server to serve the remote over
FTP protocol. This can be viewed with a ftp client or you can make a
remote of type ftp to read and write it.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Server options
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all IPs. By
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS
choose an available port.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can set a single username and password with the --user and --pass
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

VFS - Virtual File System
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.
VFS Directory Cache
Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Auth Proxy
If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program then rclone
will use that program to generate backends on the fly which then are
used to authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based
protocl with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The program's job is to take a user and pass on the input and turn those
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
into the config for a backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
have any default parameters for the backend added, but it won't use
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
configuration from environment variables or command line options - it is
the job of the proxy program to make a complete config.
This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend
And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword"
}
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
{
"user": "me",
"public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
}
And as an example return this on STDOUT
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"type": "sftp",
"_root": "",
"_obscure": "pass",
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword",
"host": "sftp.example.com"
}
This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
to a limited list.
Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. This also means that if a
user's password or public-key is changed the cache will need to expire
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
(which takes 5 mins) before it takes effect.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Synopsis
rclone serve http implements a basic web server to serve the remote over
HTTP. This can be viewed in a web browser or you can make a remote of
type http read from it.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can use the filter flags (eg --include, --exclude) to control what
is served.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Server options
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all IPs. By
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS
choose an available port.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
accept in the HTTP header.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" then
rclone would serve from a URL starting with "/rclone/". This is useful
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
if you wish to proxy rclone serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and trailing "/" on --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone", --baseurl
"/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated identically.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--template allows a user to specify a custom markup template for http
and webdav serve functions. The server exports the following markup to
be used within the template to server pages:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.
To create an htpasswd file:
touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser
The password file can be updated while rclone is running.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --realm to set the authentication realm.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
SSL/TLS
By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.
--cert should be either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation of
that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.
VFS - Virtual File System
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.

Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".

Synopsis
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone serve restic implements restic's REST backend API over HTTP. This
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
allows restic to use rclone as a data storage mechanism for cloud
providers that restic does not support directly.
Restic is a command line program for doing backups.
The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Setting up rclone for use by restic
First set up a remote for your chosen cloud provider.
Once you have set up the remote, check it is working with, for example
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"rclone lsd remote:". You may have called the remote something other
than "remote:" - just substitute whatever you called it in the following
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
instructions.
Now start the rclone restic server
rclone serve restic -v remote:backup
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Where you can replace "backup" in the above by whatever path in the
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
remote you wish to use.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default this will serve on "localhost:8080" you can change this with
use of the "--addr" flag.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
You might wish to start this server on boot.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Setting up restic to use rclone
Now you can follow the restic instructions on setting up restic.
Note that you will need restic 0.8.2 or later to interoperate with
rclone.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For the example above you will want to use "http://localhost:8080/" as
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
the URL for the REST server.
For example:
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/
$ export RESTIC_PASSWORD=yourpassword
$ restic init
created restic backend 8b1a4b56ae at rest:http://localhost:8080/
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
$ restic backup /path/to/files/to/backup
scan [/path/to/files/to/backup]

Multiple repositories
Note that you can use the endpoint to host multiple repositories. Do
this by adding a directory name or path after the URL. Note that these
MUST end with /. Eg
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user1repo/
# backup user1 stuff
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user2repo/
# backup user2 stuff
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Private repositories
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--private-repos" flag can be used to limit users to repositories
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
starting with a path of /<username>/.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Server options
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all IPs. By
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS
choose an available port.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
accept in the HTTP header.

--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" then
rclone would serve from a URL starting with "/rclone/". This is useful
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
if you wish to proxy rclone serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and trailing "/" on --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone", --baseurl
"/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated identically.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--template allows a user to specify a custom markup template for http
and webdav serve functions. The server exports the following markup to
be used within the template to server pages:

2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.
To create an htpasswd file:
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser
The password file can be updated while rclone is running.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --realm to set the authentication realm.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
SSL/TLS
By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--cert should be either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation of
that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.

RCLONE SERVE SFTP
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Serve the remote over SFTP.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Synopsis
rclone serve sftp implements an SFTP server to serve the remote over
SFTP. This can be used with an SFTP client or you can make a remote of
type sftp to use with it.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can use the filter flags (eg --include, --exclude) to control what
is served.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control
the stats printing.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You must provide some means of authentication, either with
--user/--pass, an authorized keys file (specify location with
--authorized-keys - the default is the same as ssh), an --auth-proxy, or
set the --no-auth flag for no authentication when logging in.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Note that this also implements a small number of shell commands so that
it can provide md5sum/sha1sum/df information for the rclone sftp
backend. This means that is can support SHA1SUMs, MD5SUMs and the about
command when paired with the rclone sftp backend.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you don't supply a --key then rclone will generate one and cache it
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
for later use.
By default the server binds to localhost:2022 - if you want it to be
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
reachable externally then supply "--addr :2022" for example.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the default of "--vfs-cache-mode off" is fine for the rclone
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
sftp backend, but it may not be with other SFTP clients.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS - Virtual File System
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS Directory Cache
Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Auth Proxy
If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program then rclone
will use that program to generate backends on the fly which then are
used to authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based
protocl with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The program's job is to take a user and pass on the input and turn those
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
into the config for a backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
have any default parameters for the backend added, but it won't use
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
configuration from environment variables or command line options - it is
the job of the proxy program to make a complete config.
This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend
And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword"
}
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
{
"user": "me",
"public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
}
And as an example return this on STDOUT
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"type": "sftp",
"_root": "",
"_obscure": "pass",
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword",
"host": "sftp.example.com"
}
This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
to a limited list.
Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. This also means that if a
user's password or public-key is changed the cache will need to expire
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
(which takes 5 mins) before it takes effect.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

Synopsis
rclone serve webdav implements a basic webdav server to serve the remote
over HTTP via the webdav protocol. This can be viewed with a webdav
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
client, through a web browser, or you can make a remote of type webdav
to read and write it.

--etag-hash
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
This controls the ETag header. Without this flag the ETag will be based
on the ModTime and Size of the object.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If this flag is set to "auto" then rclone will choose the first
supported hash on the backend or you can use a named hash such as "MD5"
or "SHA-1".
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

Server options
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should listen
on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all IPs. By
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS
choose an available port.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication is advised - see the next section for info.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a
transfer.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
accept in the HTTP header.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--baseurl controls the URL prefix that rclone serves from. By default
rclone will serve from the root. If you used --baseurl "/rclone" then
rclone would serve from a URL starting with "/rclone/". This is useful
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
if you wish to proxy rclone serve. Rclone automatically inserts leading
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and trailing "/" on --baseurl, so --baseurl "rclone", --baseurl
"/rclone" and --baseurl "/rclone/" are all treated identically.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--template allows a user to specify a custom markup template for http
and webdav serve functions. The server exports the following markup to
be used within the template to server pages:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.
To create an htpasswd file:
touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser
The password file can be updated while rclone is running.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use --realm to set the authentication realm.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
SSL/TLS
By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you wish
to do client side certificate validation then you will need to supply
--client-ca also.
--cert should be either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation of
that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded private
key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client certificate
authority certificate.
VFS - Virtual File System
This command uses the VFS layer. This adapts the cloud storage objects
that rclone uses into something which looks much more like a disk filing
system.
Cloud storage objects have lots of properties which aren't like disk
files - you can't extend them or write to the middle of them, so the VFS
layer has to deal with that. Because there is no one right way of doing
this there are various options explained below.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The VFS layer also implements a directory cache - this caches info about
files and directories (but not the data) in memory.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS Directory Cache
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Using the --dir-cache-time flag, you can control how long a directory
should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend.
Changes made through the mount will appear immediately or invalidate the
cache.
--dir-cache-time duration Time to cache directory entries for. (default 5m0s)
--poll-interval duration Time to wait between polling for changes.
However, changes made directly on the cloud storage by the web interface
or a different copy of rclone will only be picked up once the directory
cache expires if the backend configured does not support polling for
changes. If the backend supports polling, changes will be picked up
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
within the polling interval.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can send a SIGHUP signal to rclone for it to flush all directory
caches, regardless of how old they are. Assuming only one rclone
instance is running, you can reset the cache like this:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use rclone rc
to flush the whole directory cache:
rclone rc vfs/forget
Or individual files or directories:
rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Buffering
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
The --buffer-size flag determines the amount of memory, that will be
used to buffer data in advance.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each open file will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory
at all times. The buffered data is bound to one open file and won't be
shared.
This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per open file. The buffer
will only use memory for data that is downloaded but not not yet read.
If the buffer is empty, only a small amount of memory will be used.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The maximum memory used by rclone for buffering can be up to
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
--buffer-size * open files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS File Caching
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These flags control the VFS file caching options. File caching is
necessary to make the VFS layer appear compatible with a normal file
system. It can be disabled at the cost of some compatibility.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example you'll need to enable VFS caching if you want to read and
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the VFS cache is separate from the cache backend and you may
find that you need one or the other or both.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode CacheMode Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-max-size SizeSuffix Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-write-back duration Time to writeback files after last use when using cache. (default 5s)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
If run with -vv rclone will print the location of the file cache. The
files are stored in the user cache file area which is OS dependent but
can be controlled with --cache-dir or setting the appropriate
environment variable.
The cache has 4 different modes selected by --vfs-cache-mode. The higher
the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using
disk space.
Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and if they haven't been accessed for --vfs-write-back second. If rclone
is quit or dies with files that haven't been uploaded, these will be
uploaded next time rclone is run with the same flags.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
from the cache.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode off
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode (the default) the cache will read directly from the remote
and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
This will mean some operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files can't be opened for both read AND write
- Files opened for write can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only
- Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied
- Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode minimal
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is very similar to "off" except that files opened for read AND
write will be buffered to disk. This means that files opened for write
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.
These operations are not possible
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files opened for write only can't be seeked
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
- Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set
- Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- If an upload fails it can't be retried
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode writes
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
In this mode files opened for read only are still read directly from the
remote, write only and read/write files are buffered to disk first.
This mode should support all normal file system operations.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an upload fails it will be retried at exponentially increasing
intervals up to 1 minute.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-cache-mode full
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When
data is read from the remote this is buffered to disk as well.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this mode the files in the cache will be sparse files and rclone will
keep track of which bits of the files it has dowloaded.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if an application only reads the starts of each file, then rclone
will only buffer the start of the file. These files will appear to be
their full size in the cache, but they will be sparse files with only
the data that has been downloaded present in them.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This mode should support all normal file system operations and is
otherwise identical to --vfs-cache-mode writes.
When reading a file rclone will read --buffer-size plus --vfs-read-ahead
bytes ahead. The --buffer-size is buffered in memory whereas the
--vfs-read-ahead is buffered on disk.
When using this mode it is recommended that --buffer-size is not set too
big and --vfs-read-ahead is set large if required.
VFS Performance
These flags may be used to enable/disable features of the VFS for
performance or other reasons.
In particular S3 and Swift benefit hugely from the --no-modtime flag (or
use --use-server-modtime for a slightly different effect) as each read
of the modification time takes a transaction.
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
--no-modtime Don't read/write the modification time (can speed things up).
--no-seek Don't allow seeking in files.
--read-only Mount read-only.
When rclone reads files from a remote it reads them in chunks. This
means that rather than requesting the whole file rclone reads the chunk
specified. This is advantageous because some cloud providers account for
reads being all the data requested, not all the data delivered.
Rclone will keep doubling the chunk size requested starting at
--vfs-read-chunk-size with a maximum of --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit
unless it is set to "off" in which case there will be no limit.
--vfs-read-chunk-size SizeSuffix Read the source objects in chunks. (default 128M)
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit SizeSuffix Max chunk doubling size (default "off")
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sometimes rclone is delivered reads or writes out of order. Rather than
seeking rclone will wait a short time for the in sequence read or write
to come in. These flags only come into effect when not using an on disk
cache file.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--vfs-read-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence read before seeking. (default 20ms)
--vfs-write-wait duration Time to wait for in-sequence write before giving error. (default 1s)
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
VFS Case Sensitivity
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Linux file systems are case-sensitive: two files can differ only by
case, and the exact case must be used when opening a file.
File systems in modern Windows are case-insensitive but case-preserving:
although existing files can be opened using any case, the exact case
used to create the file is preserved and available for programs to
query. It is not allowed for two files in the same directory to differ
only by case.
Usually file systems on macOS are case-insensitive. It is possible to
make macOS file systems case-sensitive but that is not the default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The "--vfs-case-insensitive" mount flag controls how rclone handles
these two cases. If its value is "false", rclone passes file names to
the mounted file system as-is. If the flag is "true" (or appears without
a value on command line), rclone may perform a "fixup" as explained
below.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The user may specify a file name to open/delete/rename/etc with a case
different than what is stored on mounted file system. If an argument
refers to an existing file with exactly the same name, then the case of
the existing file on the disk will be used. However, if a file name with
exactly the same name is not found but a name differing only by case
exists, rclone will transparently fixup the name. This fixup happens
only when an existing file is requested. Case sensitivity of file names
created anew by rclone is controlled by an underlying mounted file
system.
Note that case sensitivity of the operating system running rclone (the
target) may differ from case sensitivity of a file system mounted by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone (the source). The flag controls whether "fixup" is performed to
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
satisfy the target.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the flag is not provided on the command line, then its default value
depends on the operating system where rclone runs: "true" on Windows and
macOS, "false" otherwise. If the flag is provided without a value, then
it is "true".
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Auth Proxy
If you supply the parameter --auth-proxy /path/to/program then rclone
will use that program to generate backends on the fly which then are
used to authenticate incoming requests. This uses a simple JSON based
protocl with input on STDIN and output on STDOUT.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
PLEASE NOTE: --auth-proxy and --authorized-keys cannot be used together,
if --auth-proxy is set the authorized keys option will be ignored.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
There is an example program bin/test_proxy.py in the rclone source code.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The program's job is to take a user and pass on the input and turn those
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
into the config for a backend on STDOUT in JSON format. This config will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
have any default parameters for the backend added, but it won't use
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
configuration from environment variables or command line options - it is
the job of the proxy program to make a complete config.
This config generated must have this extra parameter - _root - root to
use for the backend
And it may have this parameter - _obscure - comma separated strings for
parameters to obscure
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If password authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword"
}
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If public-key authentication was used by the client, input to the proxy
process (on STDIN) would look similar to this:
{
"user": "me",
"public_key": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDuwESFdAe14hVS6omeyX7edc...JQdf"
}
And as an example return this on STDOUT
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
{
"type": "sftp",
"_root": "",
"_obscure": "pass",
"user": "me",
"pass": "mypassword",
"host": "sftp.example.com"
}
This would mean that an SFTP backend would be created on the fly for the
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
user and pass/public_key returned in the output to the host given. Note
that since _obscure is set to pass, rclone will obscure the pass
parameter before creating the backend (which is required for sftp
backends).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The program can manipulate the supplied user in any way, for example to
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
make proxy to many different sftp backends, you could make the user be
user@example.com and then set the host to example.com in the output and
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the user to user. For security you'd probably want to restrict the host
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
to a limited list.
Note that an internal cache is keyed on user so only use that for
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
configuration, don't use pass or public_key. This also means that if a
user's password or public-key is changed the cache will need to expire
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
(which takes 5 mins) before it takes effect.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
This can be used to build general purpose proxies to any kind of backend
that rclone supports.

RCLONE SETTIER
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Synopsis
rclone settier changes storage tier or class at remote if supported. Few
cloud storage services provides different storage classes on objects,
for example AWS S3 and Glacier, Azure Blob storage - Hot, Cool and
Archive, Google Cloud Storage, Regional Storage, Nearline, Coldline etc.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Note that, certain tier changes make objects not available to access
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
immediately. For example tiering to archive in azure blob storage makes
objects in frozen state, user can restore by setting tier to Hot/Cool,
similarly S3 to Glacier makes object inaccessible.true
You can use it to tier single object
rclone settier Cool remote:path/file
Or use rclone filters to set tier on only specific files
rclone --include "*.txt" settier Hot remote:path/dir
Or just provide remote directory and all files in directory will be
tiered
rclone settier tier remote:path/dir

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Synopsis
rclone tree lists the contents of a remote in a similar way to the unix
tree command.
For example
$ rclone tree remote:path
/
├── file1
├── file2
├── file3
└── subdir
├── file4
└── file5
1 directories, 5 files
You can use any of the filtering options with the tree command (eg
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--include and --exclude). You can also use --fast-list.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The tree command has many options for controlling the listing which are
compatible with the tree command. Note that not all of them have short
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
options as they conflict with rclone's short options.

2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Copying single files
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
rclone normally syncs or copies directories. However, if the source
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
remote points to a file, rclone will just copy that file. The
destination remote must point to a directory - rclone will give the
error
Failed to create file system for "remote:file": is a file not a directory
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
if it isn't.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
For example, suppose you have a remote with a file in called test.jpg,
then you could copy just that file like this
rclone copy remote:test.jpg /tmp/download
The file test.jpg will be placed inside /tmp/download.
This is equivalent to specifying
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
rclone copy --files-from /tmp/files remote: /tmp/download
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
Where /tmp/files contains the single line
test.jpg
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
It is recommended to use copy when copying individual files, not sync.
They have pretty much the same effect but copy will use a lot less
memory.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Syntax of remote paths
The syntax of the paths passed to the rclone command are as follows.
/path/to/dir
This refers to the local file system.
On Windows only \ may be used instead of / in local paths ONLY, non
local paths must use /.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These paths needn't start with a leading / - if they don't then they
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
will be relative to the current directory.
remote:path/to/dir
This refers to a directory path/to/dir on remote: as defined in the
config file (configured with rclone config).
remote:/path/to/dir
On most backends this is refers to the same directory as
remote:path/to/dir and that format should be preferred. On a very small
number of remotes (FTP, SFTP, Dropbox for business) this will refer to a
different directory. On these, paths without a leading / will refer to
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
your "home" directory and paths with a leading / will refer to the root.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
:backend:path/to/dir
This is an advanced form for creating remotes on the fly. backend should
be the name or prefix of a backend (the type in the config file) and all
the configuration for the backend should be provided on the command line
(or in environment variables).
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Here are some examples:
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
rclone lsd --http-url https://pub.rclone.org :http:
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
To list all the directories in the root of https://pub.rclone.org/.
rclone lsf --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir
To list files and directories in https://example.com/path/to/dir/
rclone copy --http-url https://example.com :http:path/to/dir /tmp/dir
To copy files and directories in https://example.com/path/to/dir to
/tmp/dir.
rclone copy --sftp-host example.com :sftp:path/to/dir /tmp/dir
To copy files and directories from example.com in the relative directory
path/to/dir to /tmp/dir using sftp.

Quoting and the shell
When you are typing commands to your computer you are using something
called the command line shell. This interprets various characters in an
OS specific way.
Here are some gotchas which may help users unfamiliar with the shell
rules
Linux / OSX
If your names have spaces or shell metacharacters (eg *, ?, $, ', " etc)
then you must quote them. Use single quotes ' by default.
rclone copy 'Important files?' remote:backup
If you want to send a ' you will need to use ", eg
rclone copy "O'Reilly Reviews" remote:backup
The rules for quoting metacharacters are complicated and if you want the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
full details you'll have to consult the manual page for your shell.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
Windows
If your names have spaces in you need to put them in ", eg
rclone copy "E:\folder name\folder name\folder name" remote:backup
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are using the root directory on its own then don't quote it (see
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
#464 for why), eg
rclone copy E:\ remote:backup
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Copying files or directories with : in the names
rclone uses : to mark a remote name. This is, however, a valid filename
component in non-Windows OSes. The remote name parser will only search
for a : up to the first / so if you need to act on a file or directory
like this then use the full path starting with a /, or use ./ as a
current directory prefix.
So to sync a directory called sync:me to a remote called remote: use
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i ./sync:me remote:path
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
or
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /full/path/to/sync:me remote:path
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Server Side Copy
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Most remotes (but not all - see the overview) support server side copy.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means if you want to copy one folder to another then rclone won't
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
download all the files and re-upload them; it will instruct the server
to copy them in place.
Eg
rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket
Will copy the contents of oldbucket to newbucket without downloading and
re-uploading.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Remotes which don't support server side copy WILL download and re-upload
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
in this case.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Server side copies are used with sync and copy and will be identified in
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
the log when using the -v flag. The move command may also use them if
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
remote doesn't support server side move directly. This is done by
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
issuing a server side copy then a delete which is much quicker than a
download and re-upload.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the
same.
This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently, eg
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
rclone sync -i /path/to/files remote:current-backup
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Options
Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Options that take parameters can have the values passed in two ways,
--option=value or --option value. However boolean (true/false) options
behave slightly differently to the other options in that --boolean sets
the option to true and the absence of the flag sets it to false. It is
also possible to specify --boolean=false or --boolean=true. Note that
--boolean false is not valid - this is parsed as --boolean and the false
is parsed as an extra command line argument for rclone.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Options which use TIME use the go time parser. A duration string is a
possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units
are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However, a suffix of b for
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
bytes, k for kBytes, M for MBytes, G for GBytes, T for TBytes and P for
PBytes may be used. These are the binary units, eg 1, 2**10, 2**20,
2**30 respectively.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--backup-dir=DIR
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
When using sync, copy or move any files which would have been
overwritten or deleted are moved in their original hierarchy into this
directory.
If --suffix is set, then the moved files will have the suffix added to
them. If there is a file with the same path (after the suffix has been
added) in DIR, then it will be overwritten.
The remote in use must support server side move or copy and you must use
the same remote as the destination of the sync. The backup directory
must not overlap the destination directory.
For example
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /path/to/local remote:current --backup-dir remote:old
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
will sync /path/to/local to remote:current, but for any files which
would have been updated or deleted will be stored in remote:old.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If running rclone from a script you might want to use today's date as
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
the directory name passed to --backup-dir to store the old files, or you
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
might want to pass --suffix with today's date.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
See --compare-dest and --copy-dest.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bind string
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Local address to bind to for outgoing connections. This can be an IPv4
address (1.2.3.4), an IPv6 address (1234::789A) or host name. If the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
host name doesn't resolve or resolves to more than one IP address it
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
will give an error.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bwlimit=BANDWIDTH_SPEC
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
This option controls the bandwidth limit. Limits can be specified in two
ways: As a single limit, or as a timetable.
Single limits last for the duration of the session. To use a single
limit, specify the desired bandwidth in kBytes/s, or use a suffix
b|k|M|G. The default is 0 which means to not limit bandwidth.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
For example, to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use --bwlimit 10M
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is also possible to specify a "timetable" of limits, which will cause
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
certain limits to be applied at certain times. To specify a timetable,
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
format your entries as
WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH... where: WEEKDAY is
optional element. It could be written as whole world or only using 3
first characters. HH:MM is an hour from 00:00 to 23:59.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
An example of a typical timetable to avoid link saturation during
daytime working hours could be:
--bwlimit "08:00,512 12:00,10M 13:00,512 18:00,30M 23:00,off"
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
In this example, the transfer bandwidth will be every day set to
512kBytes/sec at 8am. At noon, it will raise to 10Mbytes/s, and drop
back to 512kBytes/sec at 1pm. At 6pm, the bandwidth limit will be set to
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
30MBytes/s, and at 11pm it will be completely disabled (full speed).
Anything between 11pm and 8am will remain unlimited.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
An example of timetable with WEEKDAY could be:
--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 Fri-23:59,10M Sat-10:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
It mean that, the transfer bandwidth will be set to 512kBytes/sec on
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Monday. It will raise to 10Mbytes/s before the end of Friday. At 10:00
on Sunday it will be set to 1Mbyte/s. From 20:00 at Sunday will be
unlimited.
Timeslots without weekday are extended to whole week. So this one
example:
--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512 12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"
Is equal to this:
--bwlimit "Mon-00:00,512Mon-12:00,1M Tue-12:00,1M Wed-12:00,1M Thu-12:00,1M Fri-12:00,1M Sat-12:00,1M Sun-12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off"
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Bandwidth limits only apply to the data transfer. They don't apply to
the bandwidth of the directory listings etc.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Note that the units are Bytes/s, not Bits/s. Typically connections are
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
measured in Bits/s - to convert divide by 8. For example, let's say you
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
have a 10 Mbit/s connection and you wish rclone to use half of it - 5
Mbit/s. This is 5/8 = 0.625MByte/s so you would use a --bwlimit 0.625M
parameter for rclone.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
On Unix systems (Linux, macOS, …) the bandwidth limiter can be toggled
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
by sending a SIGUSR2 signal to rclone. This allows to remove the
limitations of a long running rclone transfer and to restore it back to
the value specified with --bwlimit quickly when needed. Assuming there
is only one rclone instance running, you can toggle the limiter like
this:
kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof rclone)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
If you configure rclone with a remote control then you can use change
the bwlimit dynamically:
rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--bwlimit-file=BANDWIDTH_SPEC
This option controls per file bandwidth limit. For the options see the
--bwlimit flag.
For example use this to allow no transfers to be faster than 1MByte/s
--bwlimit-file 1M
This can be used in conjunction with --bwlimit.
Note that if a schedule is provided the file will use the schedule in
effect at the start of the transfer.
--buffer-size=SIZE
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Use this sized buffer to speed up file transfers. Each --transfer will
use this much memory for buffering.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
When using mount or cmount each open file descriptor will use this much
memory for buffering. See the mount documentation for more details.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Set to 0 to disable the buffering for the minimum memory usage.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Note that the memory allocation of the buffers is influenced by the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--use-mmap flag.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--check-first
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If this flag is set then in a sync, copy or move, rclone will do all the
checks to see whether files need to be transferred before doing any of
the transfers. Normally rclone would start running transfers as soon as
possible.
This flag can be useful on IO limited systems where transfers interfere
with checking.
Using this flag can use more memory as it effectively sets --max-backlog
to infinite. This means that all the info on the objects to transfer is
held in memory before the transfers start.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--checkers=N
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
The number of checkers to run in parallel. Checkers do the equality
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
checking of files during a sync. For some storage systems (eg S3, Swift,
Dropbox) this can take a significant amount of time so they are run in
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
parallel.
The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-c, --checksum
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see
if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check the file
hash and size to determine if files are equal.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is useful when the remote doesn't support setting modified time and
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
a more accurate sync is desired than just checking the file size.
This is very useful when transferring between remotes which store the
same hash type on the object, eg Drive and Swift. For details of which
remotes support which hash type see the table in the overview section.
Eg rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket would run much
quicker than without the --checksum flag.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if they
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
are incorrect as it would normally.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--compare-dest=DIR
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
When using sync, copy or move DIR is checked in addition to the
destination for files. If a file identical to the source is found that
file is NOT copied from source. This is useful to copy just files that
have changed since the last backup.
You must use the same remote as the destination of the sync. The compare
directory must not overlap the destination directory.
See --copy-dest and --backup-dir.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--config=CONFIG_FILE
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Specify the location of the rclone config file.
Normally the config file is in your home directory as a file called
.config/rclone/rclone.conf (or .rclone.conf if created with an older
version). If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set it will be at
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/rclone.conf.
If there is a file rclone.conf in the same directory as the rclone
executable it will be preferred. This file must be created manually for
Rclone to use it, it will never be created automatically.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
If you run rclone config file you will see where the default location is
for you.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Use this flag to override the config location, eg
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone --config=".myconfig" .config.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--contimeout=TIME
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which looks
like 5s for 5 seconds, 10m for 10 minutes, or 3h30m.
The connection timeout is the amount of time rclone will wait for a
connection to go through to a remote object storage system. It is 1m by
default.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--copy-dest=DIR
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
When using sync, copy or move DIR is checked in addition to the
destination for files. If a file identical to the source is found that
file is server side copied from DIR to the destination. This is useful
for incremental backup.
The remote in use must support server side copy and you must use the
same remote as the destination of the sync. The compare directory must
not overlap the destination directory.
See --compare-dest and --backup-dir.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dedupe-mode MODE
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
Mode to run dedupe command in. One of interactive, skip, first, newest,
oldest, rename. The default is interactive. See the dedupe command for
more information as to what these options mean.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--disable FEATURE,FEATURE,...
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This disables a comma separated list of optional features. For example
to disable server side move and server side copy use:
--disable move,copy
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The features can be put in any case.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
To see a list of which features can be disabled use:
--disable help
See the overview features and optional features to get an idea of which
feature does what.
This flag can be useful for debugging and in exceptional circumstances
(eg Google Drive limiting the total volume of Server Side Copies to
100GB/day).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-n, --dry-run
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Do a trial run with no permanent changes. Use this to see what rclone
would do without actually doing it. Useful when setting up the sync
command which deletes files in the destination.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--expect-continue-timeout=TIME
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This specifies the amount of time to wait for a server's first response
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
headers after fully writing the request headers if the request has an
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"Expect: 100-continue" header. Not all backends support using this.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Zero means no timeout and causes the body to be sent immediately,
without waiting for the server to approve. This time does not include
the time to send the request header.
The default is 1s. Set to 0 to disable.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--error-on-no-transfer
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
By default, rclone will exit with return code 0 if there were no errors.
This option allows rclone to return exit code 9 if no files were
transferred between the source and destination. This allows using rclone
in scripts, and triggering follow-on actions if data was copied, or
skipping if not.
NB: Enabling this option turns a usually non-fatal error into a
potentially fatal one - please check and adjust your scripts
accordingly!
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--header
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Add an HTTP header for all transactions. The flag can be repeated to add
multiple headers.
If you want to add headers only for uploads use --header-upload and if
you want to add headers only for downloads use --header-download.
This flag is supported for all HTTP based backends even those not
supported by --header-upload and --header-download so may be used as a
workaround for those with care.
rclone ls remote:test --header "X-Rclone: Foo" --header "X-LetMeIn: Yes"
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--header-download
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Add an HTTP header for all download transactions. The flag can be
repeated to add multiple headers.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i s3:test/src ~/dst --header-download "X-Amz-Meta-Test: Foo" --header-download "X-Amz-Meta-Test2: Bar"
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
See the GitHub issue here for currently supported backends.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--header-upload
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Add an HTTP header for all upload transactions. The flag can be repeated
to add multiple headers.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i ~/src s3:test/dst --header-upload "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='cool.html'" --header-upload "X-Amz-Meta-Test: FooBar"
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
See the GitHub issue here for currently supported backends.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--ignore-case-sync
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Using this option will cause rclone to ignore the case of the files when
synchronizing so files will not be copied/synced when the existing
filenames are the same, even if the casing is different.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--ignore-checksum
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Normally rclone will check that the checksums of transferred files
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
match, and give an error "corrupted on transfer" if they don't.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
You can use this option to skip that check. You should only use it if
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you have had the "corrupted on transfer" error message and you are sure
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
you might want to transfer potentially corrupted data.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--ignore-existing
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files that
exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
While this isn't a generally recommended option, it can be useful in
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
cases where your files change due to encryption. However, it cannot
correct partial transfers in case a transfer was interrupted.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--ignore-size
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see
if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only the
modification time. If --checksum is set then it only checks the
checksum.
It will also cause rclone to skip verifying the sizes are the same after
transfer.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
This can be useful for transferring files to and from OneDrive which
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
occasionally misreports the size of image files (see #399 for more
info).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-I, --ignore-times
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all files
regardless of the state of files on the destination.
Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same modification
time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if using
--checksum).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--immutable
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Treat source and destination files as immutable and disallow
modification.
With this option set, files will be created and deleted as requested,
but existing files will never be updated. If an existing file does not
match between the source and destination, rclone will give the error
Source and destination exist but do not match: immutable file modified.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that only commands which transfer files (e.g. sync, copy, move) are
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
affected by this behavior, and only modification is disallowed. Files
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
may still be deleted explicitly (e.g. delete, purge) or implicitly (e.g.
sync, move). Use copy --immutable if it is desired to avoid deletion as
well as modification.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This can be useful as an additional layer of protection for immutable or
append-only data sets (notably backup archives), where modification
implies corruption and should not be propagated.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-i / --interactive
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This flag can be used to tell rclone that you wish a manual confirmation
before destructive operations.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is RECOMMENDED that you use this flag while learning rclone
especially with rclone sync.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
$ rclone delete -i /tmp/dir
rclone: delete "important-file.txt"?
y) Yes, this is OK (default)
n) No, skip this
s) Skip all delete operations with no more questions
!) Do all delete operations with no more questions
q) Exit rclone now.
y/n/s/!/q> n
The options mean
- y: YES, this operation should go ahead. You can also press Return
for this to happen. You'll be asked every time unless you choose s
or !.
- n: NO, do not do this operation. You'll be asked every time unless
you choose s or !.
- s: SKIP all the following operations of this type with no more
questions. This takes effect until rclone exits. If there are any
different kind of operations you'll be prompted for them.
- !: DO ALL the following operations with no more questions. Useful if
you've decided that you don't mind rclone doing that kind of
operation. This takes effect until rclone exits . If there are any
different kind of operations you'll be prompted for them.
- q: QUIT rclone now, just in case!
--leave-root
During rmdirs it will not remove root directory, even if it's empty.
--log-file=FILE
Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default. This
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
can be useful for tracking down problems with syncs in combination with
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
the -v flag. See the Logging section for more info.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that if you are using the logrotate program to manage rclone's
logs, then you should use the copytruncate option as rclone doesn't have
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
a signal to rotate logs.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--log-format LIST
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Comma separated list of log format options. date, time, microseconds,
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
longfile, shortfile, UTC. The default is "date,time".
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--log-level LEVEL
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
This sets the log level for rclone. The default log level is NOTICE.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
DEBUG is equivalent to -vv. It outputs lots of debug info - useful for
bug reports and really finding out what rclone is doing.
INFO is equivalent to -v. It outputs information about each transfer and
prints stats once a minute by default.
NOTICE is the default log level if no logging flags are supplied. It
outputs very little when things are working normally. It outputs
warnings and significant events.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
ERROR is equivalent to -q. It only outputs error messages.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--use-json-log
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
This switches the log format to JSON for rclone. The fields of json log
are level, msg, source, time.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--low-level-retries NUMBER
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.
A low level retry is used to retry a failing operation - typically one
HTTP request. This might be uploading a chunk of a big file for example.
You will see low level retries in the log with the -v flag.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This shouldn't need to be changed from the default in normal operations.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
However, if you get a lot of low level retries you may wish to reduce
the value so rclone moves on to a high level retry (see the --retries
flag) quicker.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
Disable low level retries with --low-level-retries 1.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-backlog=N
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
This is the maximum allowable backlog of files in a sync/copy/move
queued for being checked or transferred.
This can be set arbitrarily large. It will only use memory when the
queue is in use. Note that it will use in the order of N kB of memory
when the backlog is in use.
Setting this large allows rclone to calculate how many files are pending
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
more accurately, give a more accurate estimated finish time and make
--order-by work more accurately.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Setting this small will make rclone more synchronous to the listings of
the remote which may be desirable.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Setting this to a negative number will make the backlog as large as
possible.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-delete=N
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
This tells rclone not to delete more than N files. If that limit is
exceeded then a fatal error will be generated and rclone will stop the
operation in progress.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-depth=N
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
This modifies the recursion depth for all the commands except purge.
So if you do rclone --max-depth 1 ls remote:path you will see only the
files in the top level directory. Using --max-depth 2 means you will see
all the files in first two directory levels and so on.
For historical reasons the lsd command defaults to using a --max-depth
of 1 - you can override this with the command line flag.
You can use this command to disable recursion (with --max-depth 1).
Note that if you use this with sync and --delete-excluded the files not
recursed through are considered excluded and will be deleted on the
destination. Test first with --dry-run if you are not sure what will
happen.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-duration=TIME
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Rclone will stop scheduling new transfers when it has run for the
duration specified.
Defaults to off.
When the limit is reached any existing transfers will complete.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone won't exit with an error if the transfer limit is reached.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-transfer=SIZE
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
Rclone will stop transferring when it has reached the size specified.
Defaults to off.
When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately.
Rclone will exit with exit code 8 if the transfer limit is reached.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--cutoff-mode=hard|soft|cautious
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This modifies the behavior of --max-transfer Defaults to
--cutoff-mode=hard.
Specifying --cutoff-mode=hard will stop transferring immediately when
Rclone reaches the limit.
Specifying --cutoff-mode=soft will stop starting new transfers when
Rclone reaches the limit.
Specifying --cutoff-mode=cautious will try to prevent Rclone from
reaching the limit.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--modify-window=TIME
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
When checking whether a file has been modified, this is the maximum
allowed time difference that a file can have and still be considered
equivalent.
The default is 1ns unless this is overridden by a remote. For example OS
X only stores modification times to the nearest second so if you are
reading and writing to an OS X filing system this will be 1s by default.
This command line flag allows you to override that computed default.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--multi-thread-cutoff=SIZE
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
When downloading files to the local backend above this size, rclone will
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
use multiple threads to download the file (default 250M).
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Rclone preallocates the file (using fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE) on
unix or NTSetInformationFile on Windows both of which takes no time)
then each thread writes directly into the file at the correct place.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that rclone won't create fragmented or sparse files and there
won't be any assembly time at the end of the transfer.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The number of threads used to download is controlled by
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
--multi-thread-streams.
Use -vv if you wish to see info about the threads.
This will work with the sync/copy/move commands and friends
copyto/moveto. Multi thread downloads will be used with rclone mount and
rclone serve if --vfs-cache-mode is set to writes or above.
NB that this ONLY works for a local destination but will work with any
source.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
NB that multi thread copies are disabled for local to local copies as
they are faster without unless --multi-thread-streams is set explicitly.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
NB on Windows using multi-thread downloads will cause the resulting
files to be sparse. Use --local-no-sparse to disable sparse files (which
may cause long delays at the start of downloads) or disable multi-thread
downloads with --multi-thread-streams 0
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--multi-thread-streams=N
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
When using multi thread downloads (see above --multi-thread-cutoff) this
sets the maximum number of streams to use. Set to 0 to disable multi
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
thread downloads (Default 4).
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Exactly how many streams rclone uses for the download depends on the
size of the file. To calculate the number of download streams Rclone
divides the size of the file by the --multi-thread-cutoff and rounds up,
up to the maximum set with --multi-thread-streams.
So if --multi-thread-cutoff 250MB and --multi-thread-streams 4 are in
effect (the defaults):
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- 0MB..250MB files will be downloaded with 1 stream
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
- 250MB..500MB files will be downloaded with 2 streams
- 500MB..750MB files will be downloaded with 3 streams
- 750MB+ files will be downloaded with 4 streams
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-check-dest
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
The --no-check-dest can be used with move or copy and it causes rclone
not to check the destination at all when copying files.
This means that:
- the destination is not listed minimising the API calls
- files are always transferred
- this can cause duplicates on remotes which allow it (eg Google
Drive)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- --retries 1 is recommended otherwise you'll transfer everything
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
again on a retry
This flag is useful to minimise the transactions if you know that none
of the files are on the destination.
This is a specialized flag which should be ignored by most users!
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-gzip-encoding
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't set Accept-Encoding: gzip. This means that rclone won't ask the
server for compressed files automatically. Useful if you've set the
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
server to return files with Content-Encoding: gzip but you uploaded
compressed files.
There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will
decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-traverse
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
The --no-traverse flag controls whether the destination file system is
traversed when using the copy or move commands. --no-traverse is not
compatible with sync and will be ignored if you supply it with sync.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
If you are only copying a small number of files (or are filtering most
of the files) and/or have a large number of files on the destination
then --no-traverse will stop rclone listing the destination and save
time.
However, if you are copying a large number of files, especially if you
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
are doing a copy where lots of the files under consideration haven't
changed and won't need copying then you shouldn't use --no-traverse.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
See rclone copy for an example of how to use it.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-unicode-normalization
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't normalize unicode characters in filenames during the sync routine.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Sometimes, an operating system will store filenames containing unicode
parts in their decomposed form (particularly macOS). Some cloud storage
systems will then recompose the unicode, resulting in duplicate files if
the data is ever copied back to a local filesystem.
Using this flag will disable that functionality, treating each unicode
character as unique. For example, by default é and é will be normalized
into the same character. With --no-unicode-normalization they will be
treated as unique characters.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-update-modtime
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of remote
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
files if they are incorrect as it would normally.
This can be used if the remote is being synced with another tool also
(eg the Google Drive client).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--order-by string
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
The --order-by flag controls the order in which files in the backlog are
processed in rclone sync, rclone copy and rclone move.
The order by string is constructed like this. The first part describes
what aspect is being measured:
- size - order by the size of the files
- name - order by the full path of the files
- modtime - order by the modification date of the files
This can have a modifier appended with a comma:
- ascending or asc - order so that the smallest (or oldest) is
processed first
- descending or desc - order so that the largest (or newest) is
processed first
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- mixed - order so that the smallest is processed first for some
threads and the largest for others
If the modifier is mixed then it can have an optional percentage (which
defaults to 50), eg size,mixed,25 which means that 25% of the threads
should be taking the smallest items and 75% the largest. The threads
which take the smallest first will always take the smallest first and
likewise the largest first threads. The mixed mode can be useful to
minimise the transfer time when you are transferring a mixture of large
and small files - the large files are guaranteed upload threads and
bandwidth and the small files will be processed continuously.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
If no modifier is supplied then the order is ascending.
For example
- --order-by size,desc - send the largest files first
- --order-by modtime,ascending - send the oldest files first
- --order-by name - send the files with alphabetically by path first
If the --order-by flag is not supplied or it is supplied with an empty
string then the default ordering will be used which is as scanned. With
--checkers 1 this is mostly alphabetical, however with the default
--checkers 8 it is somewhat random.
Limitations
The --order-by flag does not do a separate pass over the data. This
means that it may transfer some files out of the order specified if
- there are no files in the backlog or the source has not been fully
scanned yet
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- there are more than --max-backlog files in the backlog
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Rclone will do its best to transfer the best file it has so in practice
this should not cause a problem. Think of --order-by as being more of a
best efforts flag rather than a perfect ordering.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--password-command SpaceSepList
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
This flag supplies a program which should supply the config password
when run. This is an alternative to rclone prompting for the password or
setting the RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS variable.
The argument to this should be a command with a space separated list of
arguments. If one of the arguments has a space in then enclose it in ",
if you want a literal " in an argument then enclose the argument in "
and double the ". See CSV encoding for more info.
Eg
--password-command echo hello
--password-command echo "hello with space"
--password-command echo "hello with ""quotes"" and space"
See the Configuration Encryption for more info.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
See a Windows PowerShell example on the Wiki.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-P, --progress
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
This flag makes rclone update the stats in a static block in the
terminal providing a realtime overview of the transfer.
Any log messages will scroll above the static block. Log messages will
push the static block down to the bottom of the terminal where it will
stay.
Normally this is updated every 500mS but this period can be overridden
with the --stats flag.
This can be used with the --stats-one-line flag for a simpler display.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Note: On Windows until this bug is fixed all non-ASCII characters will
be replaced with . when --progress is in use.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-q, --quiet
This flag will limit rclone's output to error messages only.
--refresh-times
The --refresh-times flag can be used to update modification times of
existing files when they are out of sync on backends which don't support
hashes.
This is useful if you uploaded files with the incorrect timestamps and
you now wish to correct them.
This flag is ONLY useful for destinations which don't support hashes (eg
crypt).
This can be used any of the sync commands sync, copy or move.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use this flag you will need to be doing a modification time sync (so
not using --size-only or --checksum). The flag will have no effect when
using --size-only or --checksum.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If this flag is used when rclone comes to upload a file it will check to
see if there is an existing file on the destination. If this file
matches the source with size (and checksum if available) but has a
differing timestamp then instead of re-uploading it, rclone will update
the timestamp on the destination file. If the checksum does not match
rclone will upload the new file. If the checksum is absent (eg on a
crypt backend) then rclone will update the timestamp.
Note that some remotes can't set the modification time without
re-uploading the file so this flag is less useful on them.
Normally if you are doing a modification time sync rclone will update
modification times without --refresh-times provided that the remote
supports checksums AND the checksums match on the file. However if the
checksums are absent then rclone will upload the file rather than
setting the timestamp as this is the safe behaviour.
--retries int
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default 3).
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries help pick up the files
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
which didn't get transferred because of errors.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Disable retries with --retries 1.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--retries-sleep=TIME
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
This sets the interval between each retry specified by --retries
The default is 0. Use 0 to disable.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--size-only
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see
if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only the
size.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
This can be useful transferring files from Dropbox which have been
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
modified by the desktop sync client which doesn't set checksums of
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
modification times in the same way as rclone.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats=TIME
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Commands which transfer data (sync, copy, copyto, move, moveto) will
print data transfer stats at regular intervals to show their progress.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This sets the interval.
The default is 1m. Use 0 to disable.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
If you set the stats interval then all commands can show stats. This can
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
be useful when running other commands, check or mount for example.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Stats are logged at INFO level by default which means they won't show at
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
default log level NOTICE. Use --stats-log-level NOTICE or -v to make
them show. See the Logging section for more info on log levels.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
Note that on macOS you can send a SIGINFO (which is normally ctrl-T in
the terminal) to make the stats print immediately.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-file-name-length integer
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
By default, the --stats output will truncate file names and paths longer
than 40 characters. This is equivalent to providing
--stats-file-name-length 40. Use --stats-file-name-length 0 to disable
any truncation of file names printed by stats.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-log-level string
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Log level to show --stats output at. This can be DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, or
ERROR. The default is INFO. This means at the default level of logging
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
which is NOTICE the stats won't show - if you want them to then use
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
--stats-log-level NOTICE. See the Logging section for more info on log
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
levels.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-one-line
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
When this is specified, rclone condenses the stats into a single line
showing the most important stats only.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-one-line-date
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
When this is specified, rclone enables the single-line stats and
prepends the display with a date string. The default is
2006/01/02 15:04:05 -
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-one-line-date-format
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
When this is specified, rclone enables the single-line stats and
prepends the display with a user-supplied date string. The date string
MUST be enclosed in quotes. Follow golang specs for date formatting
syntax.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--stats-unit=bits|bytes
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
By default, data transfer rates will be printed in bytes/second.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This option allows the data rate to be printed in bits/second.
Data transfer volume will still be reported in bytes.
The rate is reported as a binary unit, not SI unit. So 1 Mbit/s equals
1,048,576 bits/s and not 1,000,000 bits/s.
The default is bytes.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--suffix=SUFFIX
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
When using sync, copy or move any files which would have been
overwritten or deleted will have the suffix added to them. If there is a
file with the same path (after the suffix has been added), then it will
be overwritten.
The remote in use must support server side move or copy and you must use
the same remote as the destination of the sync.
This is for use with files to add the suffix in the current directory or
with --backup-dir. See --backup-dir for more info.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
For example
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /path/to/local/file remote:current --suffix .bak
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
will sync /path/to/local to remote:current, but for any files which
would have been updated or deleted have .bak added.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--suffix-keep-extension
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
When using --suffix, setting this causes rclone put the SUFFIX before
the extension of the files that it backs up rather than after.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So let's say we had --suffix -2019-01-01, without the flag file.txt
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
would be backed up to file.txt-2019-01-01 and with the flag it would be
backed up to file-2019-01-01.txt. This can be helpful to make sure the
suffixed files can still be opened.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--syslog
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
On capable OSes (not Windows or Plan9) send all log output to syslog.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
This can be useful for running rclone in a script or rclone mount.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--syslog-facility string
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
If using --syslog this sets the syslog facility (eg KERN, USER). See
man syslog for a list of possible facilities. The default facility is
DAEMON.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--tpslimit float
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Limit HTTP transactions per second to this. Default is 0 which is used
to mean unlimited transactions per second.
For example to limit rclone to 10 HTTP transactions per second use
--tpslimit 10, or to 1 transaction every 2 seconds use --tpslimit 0.5.
Use this when the number of transactions per second from rclone is
causing a problem with the cloud storage provider (eg getting you banned
or rate limited).
This can be very useful for rclone mount to control the behaviour of
applications using it.
See also --tpslimit-burst.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--tpslimit-burst int
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Max burst of transactions for --tpslimit (default 1).
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Normally --tpslimit will do exactly the number of transaction per second
specified. However if you supply --tps-burst then rclone can save up
some transactions from when it was idle giving a burst of up to the
parameter supplied.
For example if you provide --tpslimit-burst 10 then if rclone has been
idle for more than 10*--tpslimit then it can do 10 transactions very
quickly before they are limited again.
This may be used to increase performance of --tpslimit without changing
the long term average number of transactions per second.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--track-renames
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default, rclone doesn't keep track of renamed files, so if you rename
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
a file locally then sync it to a remote, rclone will delete the old file
on the remote and upload a new copy.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
If you use this flag, and the remote supports server side copy or server
side move, and the source and destination have a compatible hash, then
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
this will track renames during sync operations and perform renaming
server-side.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Files will be matched by size and hash - if both match then a rename
will be considered.
If the destination does not support server-side copy or move, rclone
will fall back to the default behaviour and log an error level message
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
to the console.
Encrypted destinations are not currently supported by --track-renames if
--track-renames-strategy includes hash.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Note that --track-renames is incompatible with --no-traverse and that it
uses extra memory to keep track of all the rename candidates.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Note also that --track-renames is incompatible with --delete-before and
will select --delete-after instead of --delete-during.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--track-renames-strategy (hash,modtime,leaf,size)
This option changes the matching criteria for --track-renames.
The matching is controlled by a comma separated selection of these
tokens:
- modtime - the modification time of the file - not supported on all
backends
- hash - the hash of the file contents - not supported on all backends
- leaf - the name of the file not including its directory name
- size - the size of the file (this is always enabled)
So using --track-renames-strategy modtime,leaf would match files based
on modification time, the leaf of the file name and the size only.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Using --track-renames-strategy modtime or leaf can enable
--track-renames support for encrypted destinations.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If nothing is specified, the default option is matching by hashes.
Note that the hash strategy is not supported with encrypted
destinations.
--delete-(before,during,after)
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are
deleted when you sync folders.
Specifying the value --delete-before will delete all files present on
the destination, but not on the source _before_ starting the transfer of
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
any new or updated files. This uses two passes through the file systems,
one for the deletions and one for the copies.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Specifying --delete-during will delete files while checking and
uploading files. This is the fastest option and uses the least memory.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Specifying --delete-after (the default value) will delay deletion of
files until all new/updated files have been successfully transferred.
The files to be deleted are collected in the copy pass then deleted
after the copy pass has completed successfully. The files to be deleted
are held in memory so this mode may use more memory. This is the safest
mode as it will only delete files if there have been no errors
subsequent to that. If there have been errors before the deletions start
then you will get the message
not deleting files as there were IO errors.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--fast-list
When doing anything which involves a directory listing (eg sync, copy,
ls - in fact nearly every command), rclone normally lists a directory
and processes it before using more directory lists to process any
subdirectories. This can be parallelised and works very quickly using
the least amount of memory.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
However, some remotes have a way of listing all files beneath a
directory in one (or a small number) of transactions. These tend to be
the bucket based remotes (eg S3, B2, GCS, Swift, Hubic).
If you use the --fast-list flag then rclone will use this method for
listing directories. This will have the following consequences for the
listing:
- It WILL use fewer transactions (important if you pay for them)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
- It WILL use more memory. Rclone has to load the whole listing into
memory.
- It _may_ be faster because it uses fewer transactions
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- It _may_ be slower because it can't be parallelized
rclone should always give identical results with and without
--fast-list.
If you pay for transactions and can fit your entire sync listing into
memory then --fast-list is recommended. If you have a very big sync to
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
do then don't use --fast-list otherwise you will run out of memory.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you use --fast-list on a remote which doesn't support it, then rclone
will just ignore it.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--timeout=TIME
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then
becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.
The default is 5m. Set to 0 to disable.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--transfers=N
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
The number of file transfers to run in parallel. It can sometimes be
useful to set this to a smaller number if the remote is giving a lot of
timeouts or bigger if you have lots of bandwidth and a fast remote.
The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-u, --update
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination and
have a modified time that is newer than the source file.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can be useful when transferring to a remote which doesn't support
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
mod times directly (or when using --use-server-modtime to avoid extra
API calls) as it is more accurate than a --size-only check and faster
than using --checksum.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the computed modify window precision) to the source file's, it will be
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
updated if the sizes are different. If --checksum is set then rclone
will update the destination if the checksums differ too.
If an existing destination file is older than the source file then it
will be updated if the size or checksum differs from the source file.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
On remotes which don't support mod time directly (or when using
--use-server-modtime) the time checked will be the uploaded time. This
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
means that if uploading to one of these remotes, rclone will skip any
files which exist on the destination and have an uploaded time that is
newer than the modification time of the source file.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--use-mmap
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
If this flag is set then rclone will use anonymous memory allocated by
mmap on Unix based platforms and VirtualAlloc on Windows for its
transfer buffers (size controlled by --buffer-size). Memory allocated
like this does not go on the Go heap and can be returned to the OS
immediately when it is finished with.
If this flag is not set then rclone will allocate and free the buffers
using the Go memory allocator which may use more memory as memory pages
are returned less aggressively to the OS.
It is possible this does not work well on all platforms so it is
disabled by default; in the future it may be enabled by default.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--use-server-modtime
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Some object-store backends (e.g, Swift, S3) do not preserve file
modification times (modtime). On these backends, rclone stores the
original modtime as additional metadata on the object. By default it
will make an API call to retrieve the metadata when the modtime is
needed by an operation.
Use this flag to disable the extra API call and rely instead on the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
server's modified time. In cases such as a local to remote sync using
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
--update, knowing the local file is newer than the time it was last
uploaded to the remote is sufficient. In those cases, this flag can
speed up the process and reduce the number of API calls necessary.
Using this flag on a sync operation without also using --update would
cause all files modified at any time other than the last upload time to
be uploaded again, which is probably not what you want.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-v, -vv, --verbose
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
With -v rclone will tell you about each file that is transferred and a
small number of significant events.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
With -vv rclone will become very verbose telling you about every file it
considers and transfers. Please send bug reports with a log with this
setting.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-V, --version
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Prints the version number
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
SSL/TLS options
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The outgoing SSL/TLS connections rclone makes can be controlled with
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
these options. For example this can be very useful with the HTTP or
WebDAV backends. Rclone HTTP servers have their own set of configuration
for SSL/TLS which you can find in their documentation.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--ca-cert string
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
This loads the PEM encoded certificate authority certificate and uses it
to verify the certificates of the servers rclone connects to.
If you have generated certificates signed with a local CA then you will
need this flag to connect to servers using those certificates.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--client-cert string
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
This loads the PEM encoded client side certificate.
This is used for mutual TLS authentication.
The --client-key flag is required too when using this.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--client-key string
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
This loads the PEM encoded client side private key used for mutual TLS
authentication. Used in conjunction with --client-cert.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-check-certificate=true/false
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-check-certificate controls whether a client verifies the server's
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
certificate chain and host name. If --no-check-certificate is true, TLS
accepts any certificate presented by the server and any host name in
that certificate. In this mode, TLS is susceptible to man-in-the-middle
attacks.
This option defaults to false.
THIS SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR TESTING.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
Configuration Encryption
Your configuration file contains information for logging in to your
cloud services. This means that you should keep your .rclone.conf file
in a secure location.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are in an environment where that isn't possible, you can add a
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
password to your configuration. This means that you will have to supply
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
the password every time you start rclone.
To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute rclone config.
>rclone config
Current remotes:
e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

Your configuration is not encrypted.
If you add a password, you will protect your login information to cloud services.

q) Quit to main menu
c/u/q>
Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone you
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
will have to supply the password. See below for details. In the same
menu, you can change the password or completely remove encryption from
your configuration.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your password.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
rclone uses nacl secretbox which in turn uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
encrypt and authenticate your configuration with secret-key
cryptography. The password is SHA-256 hashed, which produces the key for
secretbox. The hashed password is not stored.
While this provides very good security, we do not recommend storing your
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
encrypted rclone configuration in public if it contains sensitive
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
information, maybe except if you use a very strong password.
If it is safe in your environment, you can set the RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be
used for decrypting the configuration.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
You can set this for a session from a script. For unix like systems save
this to a file called set-rclone-password:
#!/bin/echo Source this file don't run it
read -s RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
export RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
Then source the file when you want to use it. From the shell you would
do source set-rclone-password. It will then ask you for the password and
set it in the environment variable.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
An alternate means of supplying the password is to provide a script
which will retrieve the password and print on standard output. This
script should have a fully specified path name and not rely on any
environment variables. The script is supplied either via
--password-command="..." command line argument or via the
RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND environment variable.
One useful example of this is using the passwordstore application to
retrieve the password:
export RCLONE_PASSWORD_COMMAND="pass rclone/config"
If the passwordstore password manager holds the password for the rclone
configuration, using the script method means the password is primarily
protected by the passwordstore system, and is never embedded in the
clear in scripts, nor available for examination using the standard
commands available. It is quite possible with long running rclone
sessions for copies of passwords to be innocently captured in log files
or terminal scroll buffers, etc. Using the script method of supplying
the password enhances the security of the config password considerably.
If you are running rclone inside a script, unless you are using the
--password-command method, you might want to disable password prompts.
To do that, pass the parameter --ask-password=false to rclone. This will
make rclone fail instead of asking for a password if RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
doesn't contain a valid password, and --password-command has not been
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
supplied.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Developer options
These options are useful when developing or debugging rclone. There are
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
also some more remote specific options which aren't documented here
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
which are used for testing. These start with remote name eg
--drive-test-option - see the docs for the remote in question.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--cpuprofile=FILE
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with go tool pprof.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump flag,flag,flag
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
The --dump flag takes a comma separated list of flags to dump info
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
about.
Note that some headers including Accept-Encoding as shown may not be
correct in the request and the response may not show Content-Encoding if
the go standard libraries auto gzip encoding was in effect. In this case
the body of the request will be gunzipped before showing it.
The available flags are:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump headers
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Dump HTTP headers with Authorization: lines removed. May still contain
sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.
Use --dump auth if you do want the Authorization: headers.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump bodies
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be very
verbose. Useful for debugging only.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the bodies are buffered in memory so don't use this for
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
enormous files.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump requests
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Like --dump bodies but dumps the request bodies and the response
headers. Useful for debugging download problems.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump responses
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Like --dump bodies but dumps the response bodies and the request
headers. Useful for debugging upload problems.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump auth
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Dump HTTP headers - will contain sensitive info such as Authorization:
headers - use --dump headers to dump without Authorization: headers. Can
be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump filters
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Dump the filters to the output. Useful to see exactly what include and
exclude options are filtering on.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump goroutines
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
This dumps a list of the running go-routines at the end of the command
to standard output.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dump openfiles
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
This dumps a list of the open files at the end of the command. It uses
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the lsof command to do that so you'll need that installed to use it.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--memprofile=FILE

2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
Logging
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
rclone has 4 levels of logging, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO and DEBUG.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
By default, rclone logs to standard error. This means you can redirect
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
standard error and still see the normal output of rclone commands (eg
rclone ls).
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
By default, rclone will produce Error and Notice level messages.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
If you use the -q flag, rclone will only produce Error messages.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
If you use the -v flag, rclone will produce Error, Notice and Info
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
messages.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
If you use the -vv flag, rclone will produce Error, Notice, Info and
Debug messages.
You can also control the log levels with the --log-level flag.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
If you use the --log-file=FILE option, rclone will redirect Error, Info
and Debug messages along with standard error to FILE.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
If you use the --syslog flag then rclone will log to syslog and the
--syslog-facility control which facility it uses.
Rclone prefixes all log messages with their level in capitals, eg INFO
which makes it easy to grep the log file for different kinds of
information.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Exit Code
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
If any errors occur during the command execution, rclone will exit with
a non-zero exit code. This allows scripts to detect when rclone
operations have failed.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
During the startup phase, rclone will exit immediately if an error is
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
detected in the configuration. There will always be a log message
immediately before exiting.
When rclone is running it will accumulate errors as it goes along, and
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
only exit with a non-zero exit code if (after retries) there were still
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
failed transfers. For every error counted there will be a high priority
log message (visible with -q) showing the message and which file caused
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
the problem. A high priority message is also shown when starting a retry
so the user can see that any previous error messages may not be valid
after the retry. If rclone has done a retry it will log a high priority
message if the retry was successful.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
List of exit codes
- 0 - success
- 1 - Syntax or usage error
- 2 - Error not otherwise categorised
- 3 - Directory not found
- 4 - File not found
- 5 - Temporary error (one that more retries might fix) (Retry errors)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
- 6 - Less serious errors (like 461 errors from dropbox) (NoRetry
errors)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- 7 - Fatal error (one that more retries won't fix, like account
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
suspended) (Fatal errors)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- 8 - Transfer exceeded - limit set by --max-transfer reached
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- 9 - Operation successful, but no files transferred
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Environment Variables
Rclone can be configured entirely using environment variables. These can
be used to set defaults for options or config file entries.
Options
Every option in rclone can have its default set by environment variable.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
To find the name of the environment variable, first, take the long
option name, strip the leading --, change - to _, make upper case and
prepend RCLONE_.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
For example, to always set --stats 5s, set the environment variable
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
RCLONE_STATS=5s. If you set stats on the command line this will override
the environment variable setting.
Or to always use the trash in drive --drive-use-trash, set
RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH=true.
The same parser is used for the options and the environment variables so
they take exactly the same form.
Config file
You can set defaults for values in the config file on an individual
remote basis. If you want to use this feature, you will need to discover
the name of the config items that you want. The easiest way is to run
through rclone config by hand, then look in the config file to see what
the values are (the config file can be found by looking at the help for
--config in rclone help).
To find the name of the environment variable, you need to set, take
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
RCLONE_CONFIG_ + name of remote + _ + name of config file option and
make it all uppercase.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
For example, to configure an S3 remote named mys3: without a config file
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
(using unix ways of setting environment variables):
$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_TYPE=s3
$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX
$ export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYS3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX
$ rclone lsd MYS3:
-1 2016-09-21 12:54:21 -1 my-bucket
$ rclone listremotes | grep mys3
mys3:
Note that if you want to create a remote using environment variables you
must create the ..._TYPE variable as above.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Precedence
The various different methods of backend configuration are read in this
order and the first one with a value is used.
- Flag values as supplied on the command line, eg --drive-use-trash.
- Remote specific environment vars, eg
RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_USE_TRASH (see above).
- Backend specific environment vars, eg RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH.
- Config file, eg use_trash = false.
- Default values, eg true - these can't be changed.
So if both --drive-use-trash is supplied on the config line and an
environment variable RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH is set, the command line
flag will take preference.
For non backend configuration the order is as follows:
- Flag values as supplied on the command line, eg --stats 5s.
- Environment vars, eg RCLONE_STATS=5s.
- Default values, eg 1m - these can't be changed.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Other environment variables
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS set to contain your config file password (see
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Configuration Encryption section)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
- HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions
thereof).
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
- HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests.
- The environment values may be either a complete URL or a
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"host[:port]" for, in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.
- RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR - rclone SETS this variable for use in config
files and sub processes to point to the directory holding the config
file.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
CONFIGURING RCLONE ON A REMOTE / HEADLESS MACHINE
Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an Internet
connected web browser.
If you are trying to set rclone up on a remote or headless box with no
browser available on it (eg a NAS or a server in a datacenter) then you
will need to use an alternative means of configuration. There are two
ways of doing it, described below.
Configuring using rclone authorize
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
On the headless box run rclone config but answer N to the
Use auto config? question.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
...
Remote config
Use auto config?
* Say Y if not sure
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
y) Yes (default)
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
n) No
y/n> n
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
a web browser available.
For more help and alternate methods see: https://rclone.org/remote_setup/
Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Then paste the result below:
result>
Then on your main desktop machine
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
Log in and authorize rclone for access
Waiting for code...
Got code
Paste the following into your remote machine --->
SECRET_TOKEN
<---End paste
Then back to the headless box, paste in the code
result> SECRET_TOKEN
--------------------
[acd12]
client_id =
client_secret =
token = SECRET_TOKEN
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d>
Configuring by copying the config file
Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This can
easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
So first configure rclone on your desktop machine with
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone config
to set up the config file.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Find the config file by running rclone config file, for example
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
$ rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/home/user/.rclone.conf
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp etc) and
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
place it in the correct place (use rclone config file on the remote box
to find out where).
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
FILTERING, INCLUDES AND EXCLUDES
Rclone has a sophisticated set of include and exclude rules. Some of
these are based on patterns and some on other things like file size.
The filters are applied for the copy, sync, move, ls, lsl, md5sum,
sha1sum, size, delete and check operations. Note that purge does not
obey the filters.
Each path as it passes through rclone is matched against the include and
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
exclude rules like --include, --exclude, --include-from, --exclude-from,
--filter, or --filter-from. The simplest way to try them out is using
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
the ls command, or --dry-run together with -v. --filter-from,
--exclude-from, --include-from, --files-from, --files-from-raw
understand - as a file name to mean read from standard input.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Patterns
The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based on
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"file globs" as used by the unix shell.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
If the pattern starts with a / then it only matches at the top level of
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
the directory tree, RELATIVE TO THE ROOT OF THE REMOTE (not necessarily
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the root of the local drive). If it doesn't start with / then it is
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
matched starting at the END OF THE PATH, but it will only match a
complete path element:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
file.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/afile.jpg"
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
/file.jpg - matches "file.jpg" in the root directory of the remote
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
IMPORTANT Note that you must use / in patterns and not \ even if running
on Windows.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
A * matches anything but not a /.
*.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "file.jpg/something"
Use ** to match anything, including slashes (/).
dir/** - matches "dir/file.jpg"
- matches "dir/dir1/dir2/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
- doesn't match "adir/file.jpg"
A ? matches any character except a slash /.
l?ss - matches "less"
- matches "lass"
- doesn't match "floss"
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
A [ and ] together make a character class, such as [a-z] or [aeiou] or
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
[[:alpha:]]. See the go regexp docs for more info on these.
h[ae]llo - matches "hello"
- matches "hallo"
- doesn't match "hullo"
A { and } define a choice between elements. It should contain a comma
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
separated list of patterns, any of which might match. These patterns can
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
contain wildcards.
{one,two}_potato - matches "one_potato"
- matches "two_potato"
- doesn't match "three_potato"
- doesn't match "_potato"
Special characters can be escaped with a \ before them.
\*.jpg - matches "*.jpg"
\\.jpg - matches "\.jpg"
\[one\].jpg - matches "[one].jpg"
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
Patterns are case sensitive unless the --ignore-case flag is used.
Without --ignore-case (default)
potato - matches "potato"
- doesn't match "POTATO"
With --ignore-case
potato - matches "potato"
- matches "POTATO"
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
Note also that rclone filter globs can only be used in one of the filter
command line flags, not in the specification of the remote, so
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy "remote:dir*.jpg" /path/to/dir won't work - what is required
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
is rclone --include "*.jpg" copy remote:dir /path/to/dir
Directories
Rclone keeps track of directories that could match any file patterns.
Eg if you add the include rule
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
/a/*.jpg
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
Rclone will synthesize the directory include rule
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
/a/
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
If you put any rules which end in / then it will only match directories.

Directory matches are ONLY used to optimise directory access patterns -
you must still match the files that you want to match. Directory matches
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
won't optimise anything on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google
compute storage, b2) which don't have a concept of directory.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Differences between rsync and rclone patterns
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone implements bash style {a,b,c} glob matching which rsync doesn't.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Rclone always does a wildcard match so \ must always escape a \.
How the rules are used
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Rclone maintains a combined list of include rules and exclude rules.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Each file is matched in order, starting from the top, against the rule
in the list until it finds a match. The file is then included or
excluded according to the rule type.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
If the matcher fails to find a match after testing against all the
entries in the list then the path is included.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
For example given the following rules, + being include, - being exclude,
- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
- *
This would include
- file1.jpg
- file3.png
- file2.avi
This would exclude
- secret17.jpg
- non *.jpg and *.png
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
A similar process is done on directory entries before recursing into
them. This only works on remotes which have a concept of directory (Eg
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
local, google drive, onedrive, amazon drive) and not on bucket based
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2).
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Adding filtering rules
Filtering rules are added with the following command line flags.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Repeating options
You can repeat the following options to add more than one rule of that
type.
- --include
- --include-from
- --exclude
- --exclude-from
- --filter
- --filter-from
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- --filter-from-raw
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
IMPORTANT You should not use --include* together with --exclude*. It may
produce different results than you expected. In that case try to use:
--filter*.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
Note that all the options of the same type are processed together in the
order above, regardless of what order they were placed on the command
line.
So all --include options are processed first in the order they appeared
on the command line, then all --include-from options etc.
To mix up the order includes and excludes, the --filter flag can be
used.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
--exclude - Exclude files matching pattern
Add a single exclude rule with --exclude.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Eg --exclude *.bak to exclude all bak files from the sync.
--exclude-from - Read exclude patterns from file
Add exclude rules from a file.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Prepare a file like this exclude-file.txt
# a sample exclude rule file
*.bak
file2.jpg
Then use as --exclude-from exclude-file.txt. This will sync all files
except those ending in bak and file2.jpg.
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
--include - Include files matching pattern
Add a single include rule with --include.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Eg --include *.{png,jpg} to include all png and jpg files in the backup
and no others.
This adds an implicit --exclude * at the very end of the filter list.
This means you can mix --include and --include-from with the other
filters (eg --exclude) but you must include all the files you want in
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
you must use --filter-from.
--include-from - Read include patterns from file
Add include rules from a file.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Prepare a file like this include-file.txt
# a sample include rule file
*.jpg
*.png
file2.avi
Then use as --include-from include-file.txt. This will sync all jpg, png
files and file2.avi.
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
This adds an implicit --exclude * at the very end of the filter list.
This means you can mix --include and --include-from with the other
filters (eg --exclude) but you must include all the files you want in
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
you must use --filter-from.
--filter - Add a file-filtering rule
This can be used to add a single include or exclude rule. Include rules
start with + and exclude rules start with -. A special rule called ! can
be used to clear the existing rules.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Eg --filter "- *.bak" to exclude all bak files from the sync.
--filter-from - Read filtering patterns from a file
Add include/exclude rules from a file.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are
processed in.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Prepare a file like this filter-file.txt
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
# a sample filter rule file
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
- /dir/Trash/**
+ /dir/**
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
# exclude everything else
- *
Then use as --filter-from filter-file.txt. The rules are processed in
the order that they are defined.
This example will include all jpg and png files, exclude any files
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
matching secret*.jpg and include file2.avi. It will also include
everything in the directory dir at the root of the sync, except
dir/Trash which it will exclude. Everything else will be excluded from
the sync.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
--files-from - Read list of source-file names
This reads a list of file names from the file passed in and ONLY these
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
files are transferred. The FILTERING RULES ARE IGNORED completely if you
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
use this option.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
--files-from expects a list of files as its input. Leading / trailing
whitespace is stripped from the input lines and lines starting with #
and ; are ignored.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Rclone will traverse the file system if you use --files-from,
effectively using the files in --files-from as a set of filters. Rclone
will not error if any of the files are missing.
If you use --no-traverse as well as --files-from then rclone will not
traverse the destination file system, it will find each file
individually using approximately 1 API call. This can be more efficient
for small lists of files.
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
This option can be repeated to read from more than one file. These are
read in the order that they are placed on the command line.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Paths within the --files-from file will be interpreted as starting with
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
the root specified in the command. Leading / characters are ignored. See
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--files-from-raw if you need the input to be processed in a raw manner.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
For example, suppose you had files-from.txt with this content:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
# comment
file1.jpg
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
subdir/file2.jpg
You could then use it like this:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home/me/pics remote:pics
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
This will transfer these files only (if they exist)
/home/me/pics/file1.jpg → remote:pics/file1.jpg
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
/home/me/pics/subdir/file2.jpg → remote:pics/subdir/file2.jpg
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To take a more complicated example, let's say you had a few files you
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
want to back up regularly with these absolute paths:
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
/home/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To copy these you'd find a common subdirectory - in this case /home and
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
put the remaining files in files-from.txt with or without leading /, eg
user1/important
user1/dir/file
user2/stuff
You could then copy these to a remote like this
rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home remote:backup
The 3 files will arrive in remote:backup with the paths as in the
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
files-from.txt like this:
/home/user1/important → remote:backup/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file → remote:backup/user1/dir/file
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
/home/user2/stuff → remote:backup/user2/stuff
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
You could of course choose / as the root too in which case your
files-from.txt might look like this.
/home/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff
And you would transfer it like this
rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt / remote:backup
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
In this case there will be an extra home directory on the remote:
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
/home/user1/important → remote:backup/home/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file → remote:backup/home/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff → remote:backup/home/user2/stuff
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
--files-from-raw - Read list of source-file names without any processing
This option is same as --files-from with the only difference being that
the input is read in a raw manner. This means that lines with
leading/trailing whitespace and lines starting with ; or # are read
without any processing. rclone lsf has a compatible format that can be
used to export file lists from remotes, which can then be used as an
input to --files-from-raw.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--min-size - Don't transfer any file smaller than this
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This option controls the minimum size file which will be transferred.
This defaults to kBytes but a suffix of k, M, or G can be used.
For example --min-size 50k means no files smaller than 50kByte will be
transferred.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-size - Don't transfer any file larger than this
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This option controls the maximum size file which will be transferred.
This defaults to kBytes but a suffix of k, M, or G can be used.
For example --max-size 1G means no files larger than 1GByte will be
transferred.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--max-age - Don't transfer any file older than this
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This option controls the maximum age of files to transfer. Give in
seconds or with a suffix of:
- ms - Milliseconds
- s - Seconds
- m - Minutes
- h - Hours
- d - Days
- w - Weeks
- M - Months
- y - Years
For example --max-age 2d means no files older than 2 days will be
transferred.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This can also be an absolute time in one of these formats
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- RFC3339 - eg "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00"
- ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone - "2006-01-02T15:04:05"
- ISO8601 Date and time, local timezone - "2006-01-02 15:04:05"
- ISO8601 Date - "2006-01-02" (YYYY-MM-DD)
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--min-age - Don't transfer any file younger than this
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This option controls the minimum age of files to transfer. Give in
seconds or with a suffix (see --max-age for list of suffixes)
For example --min-age 2d means no files younger than 2 days will be
transferred.
--delete-excluded - Delete files on dest excluded from sync
IMPORTANT this flag is dangerous - use with --dry-run and -v first.
When doing rclone sync this will delete any files which are excluded
from the sync on the destination.
If for example you did a sync from A to B without the --min-size 50k
flag
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i A: B:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Then you repeated it like this with the --delete-excluded
rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:
This would delete all files on B which are less than 50 kBytes as these
are now excluded from the sync.
Always test first with --dry-run and -v before using this flag.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--dump filters - dump the filters to the output
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
This dumps the defined filters to the output as regular expressions.
Useful for debugging.
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
--ignore-case - make searches case insensitive
Normally filter patterns are case sensitive. If this flag is supplied
then filter patterns become case insensitive.
Normally a --include "file.txt" will not match a file called FILE.txt.
However if you use the --ignore-case flag then --include "file.txt" this
will match a file called FILE.txt.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Quoting shell metacharacters
The examples above may not work verbatim in your shell as they have
shell metacharacters in them (eg *), and may require quoting.
Eg linux, OSX
- --include \*.jpg
- --include '*.jpg'
- --include='*.jpg'
In Windows the expansion is done by the command not the shell so this
should work fine
- --include *.jpg
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Exclude directory based on a file
It is possible to exclude a directory based on a file, which is present
in this directory. Filename should be specified using the
--exclude-if-present flag. This flag has a priority over the other
filtering flags.
Imagine, you have the following directory structure:
dir1/file1
dir1/dir2/file2
dir1/dir2/dir3/file3
dir1/dir2/dir3/.ignore
You can exclude dir3 from sync by running the following command:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i --exclude-if-present .ignore dir1 remote:backup
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Currently only one filename is supported, i.e. --exclude-if-present
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
should not be used multiple times.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
GUI (EXPERIMENTAL)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Rclone can serve a web based GUI (graphical user interface). This is
somewhat experimental at the moment so things may be subject to change.
Run this command in a terminal and rclone will download and then display
the GUI in a web browser.
rclone rcd --rc-web-gui
This will produce logs like this and rclone needs to continue to run to
serve the GUI:
2019/08/25 11:40:14 NOTICE: A new release for gui is present at https://github.com/rclone/rclone-webui-react/releases/download/v0.0.6/currentbuild.zip
2019/08/25 11:40:14 NOTICE: Downloading webgui binary. Please wait. [Size: 3813937, Path : /home/USER/.cache/rclone/webgui/v0.0.6.zip]
2019/08/25 11:40:16 NOTICE: Unzipping
2019/08/25 11:40:16 NOTICE: Serving remote control on http://127.0.0.1:5572/
This assumes you are running rclone locally on your machine. It is
possible to separate the rclone and the GUI - see below for details.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
If you wish to check for updates then you can add --rc-web-gui-update to
the command line.
If you find your GUI broken, you may force it to update by add
--rc-web-gui-force-update.
By default, rclone will open your browser. Add
--rc-web-gui-no-open-browser to disable this feature.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Using the GUI
Once the GUI opens, you will be looking at the dashboard which has an
overall overview.
On the left hand side you will see a series of view buttons you can
click on:
- Dashboard - main overview
- Configs - examine and create new configurations
- Explorer - view, download and upload files to the cloud storage
systems
- Backend - view or alter the backend config
- Log out
(More docs and walkthrough video to come!)
How it works
When you run the rclone rcd --rc-web-gui this is what happens
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Rclone starts but only runs the remote control API ("rc").
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
- The API is bound to localhost with an auto generated username and
password.
- If the API bundle is missing then rclone will download it.
- rclone will start serving the files from the API bundle over the
same port as the API
- rclone will open the browser with a login_token so it can log
straight in.
Advanced use
The rclone rcd may use any of the flags documented on the rc page.
The flag --rc-web-gui is shorthand for
- Download the web GUI if necessary
- Check we are using some authentication
- --rc-user gui
- --rc-pass <random password>
- --rc-serve
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
These flags can be overridden as desired.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
See also the rclone rcd documentation.
Example: Running a public GUI
For example the GUI could be served on a public port over SSL using an
htpasswd file using the following flags:
- --rc-web-gui
- --rc-addr :443
- --rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd
- --rc-cert /path/to/ssl.crt
- --rc-key /path/to/ssl.key
Example: Running a GUI behind a proxy
If you want to run the GUI behind a proxy at /rclone you could use these
flags:
- --rc-web-gui
- --rc-baseurl rclone
- --rc-htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Or instead of htpasswd if you just want a single user and password:
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
- --rc-user me
- --rc-pass mypassword
Project
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The GUI is being developed in the: rclone/rclone-webui-react repository.

REMOTE CONTROLLING RCLONE WITH ITS API
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
If rclone is run with the --rc flag then it starts an http server which
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
can be used to remote control rclone using its API.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00

--rc-serve
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
Enable the serving of remote objects via the HTTP interface. This means
objects will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5572/ by default, so you
can browse to http://127.0.0.1:5572/ or http://127.0.0.1:5572/* to see a
listing of the remotes. Objects may be requested from remotes using this
syntax http://127.0.0.1:5572/[remote:path]/path/to/object

--rc-no-auth
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
By default rclone will require authorisation to have been set up on the
rc interface in order to use any methods which access any rclone
remotes. Eg operations/list is denied as it involved creating a remote
as is sync/copy.
If this is set then no authorisation will be required on the server to
use these methods. The alternative is to use --rc-user and --rc-pass and
use these credentials in the request.
Default Off.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Accessing the remote control via the rclone rc command
Rclone itself implements the remote control protocol in its rclone rc
command.
You can use it like this
$ rclone rc rc/noop param1=one param2=two
{
"param1": "one",
"param2": "two"
}
Run rclone rc on its own to see the help for the installed remote
control commands.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
JSON input
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
rclone rc also supports a --json flag which can be used to send more
complicated input parameters.
$ rclone rc --json '{ "p1": [1,"2",null,4], "p2": { "a":1, "b":2 } }' rc/noop
{
"p1": [
1,
"2",
null,
4
],
"p2": {
"a": 1,
"b": 2
}
}
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the parameter being passed is an object then it can be passed as a
JSON string rather than using the --json flag which simplifies the
command line.
rclone rc operations/list fs=/tmp remote=test opt='{"showHash": true}'
Rather than
rclone rc operations/list --json '{"fs": "/tmp", "remote": "test", "opt": {"showHash": true}}'
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
Special parameters
The rc interface supports some special parameters which apply to ALL
commands. These start with _ to show they are different.
Running asynchronous jobs with _async = true
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Each rc call is classified as a job and it is assigned its own id. By
default jobs are executed immediately as they are created or
synchronously.
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
If _async has a true value when supplied to an rc call then it will
return immediately with a job id and the task will be run in the
background. The job/status call can be used to get information of the
background job. The job can be queried for up to 1 minute after it has
finished.
It is recommended that potentially long running jobs, eg sync/sync,
sync/copy, sync/move, operations/purge are run with the _async flag to
avoid any potential problems with the HTTP request and response timing
out.
Starting a job with the _async flag:
$ rclone rc --json '{ "p1": [1,"2",null,4], "p2": { "a":1, "b":2 }, "_async": true }' rc/noop
{
"jobid": 2
}
Query the status to see if the job has finished. For more information on
the meaning of these return parameters see the job/status call.
$ rclone rc --json '{ "jobid":2 }' job/status
{
"duration": 0.000124163,
"endTime": "2018-10-27T11:38:07.911245881+01:00",
"error": "",
"finished": true,
"id": 2,
"output": {
"_async": true,
"p1": [
1,
"2",
null,
4
],
"p2": {
"a": 1,
"b": 2
}
},
"startTime": "2018-10-27T11:38:07.911121728+01:00",
"success": true
}
job/list can be used to show the running or recently completed jobs
$ rclone rc job/list
{
"jobids": [
2
]
}
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Assigning operations to groups with _group = value
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Each rc call has its own stats group for tracking its metrics. By
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
default grouping is done by the composite group name from prefix job/
and id of the job like so job/1.
If _group has a value then stats for that request will be grouped under
that value. This allows caller to group stats under their own name.
Stats for specific group can be accessed by passing group to core/stats:
$ rclone rc --json '{ "group": "job/1" }' core/stats
{
"speed": 12345
...
}
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00

This takes the following parameters
- command - a string with the command name
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- fs - a remote name string eg "drive:"
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- arg - a list of arguments for the backend command
- opt - a map of string to string of options
Returns
- result - result from the backend command
For example

Returns
{
"result": {
"arg": [
"path1",
"path2"
],
"name": "noop",
"opt": {
"blue": "",
"echo": "yes"
}
}
}
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that this is the direct equivalent of using this "backend" command:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone backend noop . -o echo=yes -o blue path1 path2
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that arguments must be preceded by the "-a" flag
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
See the backend command for more information.
AUTHENTICATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS CALL.
cache/expire: Purge a remote from cache
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Purge a remote from the cache backend. Supports either a directory or a
file. Params: - remote = path to remote (required) - withData =
true/false to delete cached data (chunks) as well (optional)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Eg
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
rclone rc cache/expire remote=path/to/sub/folder/
rclone rc cache/expire remote=/ withData=true
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
cache/fetch: Fetch file chunks
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Ensure the specified file chunks are cached on disk.
The chunks= parameter specifies the file chunks to check. It takes a
comma separated list of array slice indices. The slice indices are
similar to Python slices: start[:end]
start is the 0 based chunk number from the beginning of the file to
fetch inclusive. end is 0 based chunk number from the beginning of the
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
file to fetch exclusive. Both values can be negative, in which case they
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
count from the back of the file. The value "-5:" represents the last 5
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
chunks of a file.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Some valid examples are: ":5,-5:" -> the first and last five chunks
"0,-2" -> the first and the second last chunk "0:10" -> the first ten
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
chunks
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Any parameter with a key that starts with "file" can be used to specify
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
files to fetch, eg
rclone rc cache/fetch chunks=0 file=hello file2=home/goodbye
File names will automatically be encrypted when the a crypt remote is
used on top of the cache.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Otherwise pass files or dirs in as file=path or dir=path. Any
parameter key starting with file will forget that file and any
starting with dir will forget that dir, eg
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone rc vfs/forget file=hello file2=goodbye dir=home/junk
This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be
used. If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter
must be supplied.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

poll-interval setting.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When the interval=duration parameter is set, the poll-interval value
is updated and the polling function is notified.
Setting interval=0 disables poll-interval.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone rc vfs/poll-interval interval=5m
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The timeout=duration parameter can be used to specify a time to wait
for the current poll function to apply the new value.
If timeout is less or equal 0, which is the default, wait indefinitely.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The new poll-interval value will only be active when the timeout is
not reached.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If poll-interval is updated or disabled temporarily, some changes
might not get picked up by the polling function, depending on the
used remote.
This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be
used. If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter
must be supplied.

directory cache.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If no paths are passed in then it will refresh the root directory.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone rc vfs/refresh
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Otherwise pass directories in as dir=path. Any parameter key
starting with dir will refresh that directory, eg
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone rc vfs/refresh dir=home/junk dir2=data/misc
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the parameter recursive=true is given the whole directory tree
will get refreshed. This refresh will use --fast-list if enabled.
This command takes an "fs" parameter. If this parameter is not
supplied and if there is only one VFS in use then that VFS will be
used. If there is more than one VFS in use then the "fs" parameter
must be supplied.

2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone implements a simple HTTP based protocol.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Each endpoint takes an JSON object and returns a JSON object or an
error. The JSON objects are essentially a map of string names to
values.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
All calls must made using POST.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The input objects can be supplied using URL parameters, POST
parameters or by supplying "Content-Type: application/json" and a JSON
blob in the body. There are examples of these below using `curl`.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The response will be a JSON blob in the body of the response. This is
formatted to be reasonably human readable.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00

2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If an error occurs then there will be an HTTP error status (eg 500)
and the body of the response will contain a JSON encoded error object,
eg
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
{ "error": "Expecting string value for key "remote" (was float64)",
"input": { "fs": "/tmp", "remote": 3 }, "status": 400 "path":
"operations/rmdir", }
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The keys in the error response are
- error - error string
- input - the input parameters to the call
- status - the HTTP status code
- path - the path of the call
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### CORS
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The sever implements basic CORS support and allows all origins for that.
The response to a preflight OPTIONS request will echo the requested "Access-Control-Request-Headers" back.

## Debugging rclone with pprof ##
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you use the `--rc` flag this will also enable the use of the go
profiling tools on the same port.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use these, first [install go](https://golang.org/doc/install).
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Debugging memory use
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To profile rclone's memory use you can run:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
go tool pprof -web http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This should open a page in your browser showing what is using what
memory.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can also use the `-text` flag to produce a textual summary
$ go tool pprof -text http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap Showing

### Debugging go routine leaks
Memory leaks are most often caused by go routine leaks keeping memory
alive which should have been garbage collected.
See all active go routines using
curl http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1
Or go to http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1 in your browser.
### Other profiles to look at
You can see a summary of profiles available at http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/
Here is how to use some of them:
- Memory: `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/heap`
- Go routines: `curl http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1`
- 30-second CPU profile: `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/profile`
- 5-second execution trace: `wget http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5`
- Goroutine blocking profile
- Enable first with: `rclone rc debug/set-block-profile-rate rate=1` ([docs](#debug/set-block-profile-rate))
- `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/block`
- Contended mutexes:
- Enable first with: `rclone rc debug/set-mutex-profile-fraction rate=1` ([docs](#debug/set-mutex-profile-fraction))
- `go tool pprof http://localhost:5572/debug/pprof/mutex`
See the [net/http/pprof docs](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/)
for more info on how to use the profiling and for a general overview
see [the Go team's blog post on profiling go programs](https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs).
The profiling hook is [zero overhead unless it is used](https://stackoverflow.com/q/26545159/164234).
# Overview of cloud storage systems #
Each cloud storage system is slightly different. Rclone attempts to
provide a unified interface to them, but some underlying differences
show through.
## Features ##
Here is an overview of the major features of each cloud storage system.

### Hash ###
The cloud storage system supports various hash types of the objects.
The hashes are used when transferring data as an integrity check and
can be specifically used with the `--checksum` flag in syncs and in
the `check` command.
To use the verify checksums when transferring between cloud storage
systems they must support a common hash type.
† Note that Dropbox supports [its own custom
hash](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash).
This is an SHA256 sum of all the 4MB block SHA256s.
‡ SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and `md5sum`
or `sha1sum` as well as `echo` are in the remote's PATH.
†† WebDAV supports hashes when used with Owncloud and Nextcloud only.
††† WebDAV supports modtimes when used with Owncloud and Nextcloud only.
‡‡ Microsoft OneDrive Personal supports SHA1 hashes, whereas OneDrive
for business and SharePoint server support Microsoft's own
[QuickXorHash](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/code-snippets/quickxorhash).
‡‡‡ Mail.ru uses its own modified SHA1 hash
### ModTime ###
The cloud storage system supports setting modification times on
objects. If it does then this enables a using the modification times
as part of the sync. If not then only the size will be checked by
default, though the MD5SUM can be checked with the `--checksum` flag.
All cloud storage systems support some kind of date on the object and
these will be set when transferring from the cloud storage system.
### Case Insensitive ###
If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to
have two files which differ only in case, eg `file.txt` and
`FILE.txt`. If a cloud storage system is case insensitive then that
isn't possible.
This can cause problems when syncing between a case insensitive
system and a case sensitive system. The symptom of this is that no
matter how many times you run the sync it never completes fully.
The local filesystem and SFTP may or may not be case sensitive
depending on OS.
* Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved
* OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case sensitive
* Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file systems (eg FAT formatted USB keys)
Most of the time this doesn't cause any problems as people tend to
avoid files whose name differs only by case even on case sensitive
systems.
### Duplicate files ###
If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two
objects with the same name.
This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the `rclone dedupe`
command to rename or remove duplicates.
\* Opendrive does not support creation of duplicate files using
their web client interface or other stock clients, but the underlying
storage platform has been determined to allow duplicate files, and it
is possible to create them with `rclone`. It may be that this is a
mistake or an unsupported feature.
### Restricted filenames ###
Some cloud storage systems might have restrictions on the characters
that are usable in file or directory names.
When `rclone` detects such a name during a file upload, it will
transparently replace the restricted characters with similar looking
Unicode characters.
This process is designed to avoid ambiguous file names as much as
possible and allow to move files between many cloud storage systems
transparently.
The name shown by `rclone` to the user or during log output will only
contain a minimal set of [replaced characters](#restricted-characters)
to ensure correct formatting and not necessarily the actual name used
on the cloud storage.
This transformation is reversed when downloading a file or parsing
`rclone` arguments.
For example, when uploading a file named `my file?.txt` to Onedrive
will be displayed as `my file?.txt` on the console, but stored as
`my file.txt` (the `?` gets replaced by the similar looking ``
character) to Onedrive.
The reverse transformation allows to read a file`unusual/name.txt`
from Google Drive, by passing the name `unusualname.txt` (the `/` needs
to be replaced by the similar looking `` character) on the command line.
#### Default restricted characters {#restricted-characters}
The table below shows the characters that are replaced by default.
When a replacement character is found in a filename, this character
will be escaped with the `` character to avoid ambiguous file names.
(e.g. a file named `␀.txt` would shown as `‛␀.txt`)
Each cloud storage backend can use a different set of characters,
which will be specified in the documentation for each backend.
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| NUL | 0x00 | ␀ |
| SOH | 0x01 | ␁ |
| STX | 0x02 | ␂ |
| ETX | 0x03 | ␃ |
| EOT | 0x04 | ␄ |
| ENQ | 0x05 | ␅ |
| ACK | 0x06 | ␆ |
| BEL | 0x07 | ␇ |
| BS | 0x08 | ␈ |
| HT | 0x09 | ␉ |
| LF | 0x0A | ␊ |
| VT | 0x0B | ␋ |
| FF | 0x0C | ␌ |
| CR | 0x0D | ␍ |
| SO | 0x0E | ␎ |
| SI | 0x0F | ␏ |
| DLE | 0x10 | ␐ |
| DC1 | 0x11 | ␑ |
| DC2 | 0x12 | ␒ |
| DC3 | 0x13 | ␓ |
| DC4 | 0x14 | ␔ |
| NAK | 0x15 | ␕ |
| SYN | 0x16 | ␖ |
| ETB | 0x17 | ␗ |
| CAN | 0x18 | ␘ |
| EM | 0x19 | ␙ |
| SUB | 0x1A | ␚ |
| ESC | 0x1B | ␛ |
| FS | 0x1C | ␜ |
| GS | 0x1D | ␝ |
| RS | 0x1E | ␞ |
| US | 0x1F | ␟ |
| / | 0x2F | |
| DEL | 0x7F | ␡ |
The default encoding will also encode these file names as they are
problematic with many cloud storage systems.
| File name | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----------:|
| . | |
| .. | |
#### Invalid UTF-8 bytes {#invalid-utf8}
Some backends only support a sequence of well formed UTF-8 bytes
as file or directory names.
In this case all invalid UTF-8 bytes will be replaced with a quoted
representation of the byte value to allow uploading a file to such a
backend. For example, the invalid byte `0xFE` will be encoded as `FE`.
A common source of invalid UTF-8 bytes are local filesystems, that store
names in a different encoding than UTF-8 or UTF-16, like latin1. See the
[local filenames](https://rclone.org/local/#filenames) section for details.
#### Encoding option {#encoding}
Most backends have an encoding options, specified as a flag
`--backend-encoding` where `backend` is the name of the backend, or as
a config parameter `encoding` (you'll need to select the Advanced
config in `rclone config` to see it).
This will have default value which encodes and decodes characters in
such a way as to preserve the maximum number of characters (see
above).
However this can be incorrect in some scenarios, for example if you
have a Windows file system with characters such as `` and `` that
you want to remain as those characters on the remote rather than being
translated to `*` and `?`.
The `--backend-encoding` flags allow you to change that. You can
disable the encoding completely with `--backend-encoding None` or set
`encoding = None` in the config file.
Encoding takes a comma separated list of encodings. You can see the
list of all available characters by passing an invalid value to this
flag, eg `--local-encoding "help"` and `rclone help flags encoding`
will show you the defaults for the backends.
| Encoding | Characters |
| --------- | ---------- |
| Asterisk | `*` |
| BackQuote | `` ` `` |
| BackSlash | `\` |
| Colon | `:` |
| CrLf | CR 0x0D, LF 0x0A |
| Ctl | All control characters 0x00-0x1F |
| Del | DEL 0x7F |
| Dollar | `$` |
| Dot | `.` |
| DoubleQuote | `"` |
| Hash | `#` |
| InvalidUtf8 | An invalid UTF-8 character (eg latin1) |
| LeftCrLfHtVt | CR 0x0D, LF 0x0A,HT 0x09, VT 0x0B on the left of a string |
| LeftPeriod | `.` on the left of a string |
| LeftSpace | SPACE on the left of a string |
| LeftTilde | `~` on the left of a string |
| LtGt | `<`, `>` |
| None | No characters are encoded |
| Percent | `%` |
| Pipe | \| |
| Question | `?` |
| RightCrLfHtVt | CR 0x0D, LF 0x0A, HT 0x09, VT 0x0B on the right of a string |
| RightPeriod | `.` on the right of a string |
| RightSpace | SPACE on the right of a string |
| SingleQuote | `'` |
| Slash | `/` |
To take a specific example, the FTP backend's default encoding is
--ftp-encoding "Slash,Del,Ctl,RightSpace,Dot"
However, let's say the FTP server is running on Windows and can't have
any of the invalid Windows characters in file names. You are backing
up Linux servers to this FTP server which do have those characters in
file names. So you would add the Windows set which are
Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot
to the existing ones, giving:
Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot,Del,RightSpace
This can be specified using the `--ftp-encoding` flag or using an `encoding` parameter in the config file.
Or let's say you have a Windows server but you want to preserve ``
and ``, you would then have this as the encoding (the Windows
encoding minus `Asterisk` and `Question`).
Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Pipe,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot
This can be specified using the `--local-encoding` flag or using an
`encoding` parameter in the config file.
### MIME Type ###
MIME types (also known as media types) classify types of documents
using a simple text classification, eg `text/html` or
`application/pdf`.
Some cloud storage systems support reading (`R`) the MIME type of
objects and some support writing (`W`) the MIME type of objects.
The MIME type can be important if you are serving files directly to
HTTP from the storage system.
If you are copying from a remote which supports reading (`R`) to a
remote which supports writing (`W`) then rclone will preserve the MIME
types. Otherwise they will be guessed from the extension, or the
remote itself may assign the MIME type.
## Optional Features ##
All the remotes support a basic set of features, but there are some
optional features supported by some remotes used to make some
operations more efficient.

### Purge ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This deletes a directory quicker than just deleting all the files in
the directory.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
† Note Swift, Hubic, and Tardigrade implement this in order to delete
directory markers but they don't actually have a quicker way of deleting
files other than deleting them individually.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
‡ StreamUpload is not supported with Nextcloud
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Copy ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Used when copying an object to and from the same remote. This known
as a server side copy so you can copy a file without downloading it
and uploading it again. It is used if you use `rclone copy` or
`rclone move` if the remote doesn't support `Move` directly.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the server doesn't support `Copy` directly then for copy operations
the file is downloaded then re-uploaded.
### Move ###
Used when moving/renaming an object on the same remote. This is known
as a server side move of a file. This is used in `rclone move` if the
server doesn't support `DirMove`.
If the server isn't capable of `Move` then rclone simulates it with
`Copy` then delete. If the server doesn't support `Copy` then rclone
will download the file and re-upload it.
### DirMove ###
This is used to implement `rclone move` to move a directory if
possible. If it isn't then it will use `Move` on each file (which
falls back to `Copy` then download and upload - see `Move` section).
### CleanUp ###
This is used for emptying the trash for a remote by `rclone cleanup`.
If the server can't do `CleanUp` then `rclone cleanup` will return an
error.
‡‡ Note that while Box implements this it has to delete every file
idividually so it will be slower than emptying the trash via the WebUI
### ListR ###
The remote supports a recursive list to list all the contents beneath
a directory quickly. This enables the `--fast-list` flag to work.
See the [rclone docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
### StreamUpload ###
Some remotes allow files to be uploaded without knowing the file size
in advance. This allows certain operations to work without spooling the
file to local disk first, e.g. `rclone rcat`.
### LinkSharing ###
Sets the necessary permissions on a file or folder and prints a link
that allows others to access them, even if they don't have an account
on the particular cloud provider.
### About ###
This is used to fetch quota information from the remote, like bytes
used/free/quota and bytes used in the trash.
This is also used to return the space used, available for `rclone mount`.
If the server can't do `About` then `rclone about` will return an
error.
### EmptyDir ###
The remote supports empty directories. See [Limitations](https://rclone.org/bugs/#limitations)
for details. Most Object/Bucket based remotes do not support this.

-----------------------------------------
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is a backend for the [1fichier](https://1fichier.com) cloud
storage service. Note that a Premium subscription is required to use
the API.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The initial setup for 1Fichier involves getting the API key from the website which you
need to do in your browser.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
1Fichier  "fichier" [snip] Storage> fichier ** See help for fichier

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Your API Key, get it from https://1fichier.com/console/params.pl Enter a
string value. Press Enter for the default (""). api_key> example_key
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> Remote config
-------------------- [remote] type = fichier api_key = example_key
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your 1Fichier account
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your 1Fichier account
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To copy a local directory to a 1Fichier directory called backup
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time and hashes ###
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
1Fichier does not support modification times. It supports the Whirlpool hash algorithm.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Duplicated files ###
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
1Fichier can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike a
normal file system).
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
File names can also not start or end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the
name:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00

Alias
-----------------------------------------
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The `alias` remote provides a new name for another remote.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths may be as deep as required or a local path,
eg `remote:directory/subdirectory` or `/directory/subdirectory`.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
During the initial setup with `rclone config` you will specify the target
remote. The target remote can either be a local path or another remote.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Subfolders can be used in target remote. Assume an alias remote named `backup`
with the target `mydrive:private/backup`. Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:desktop`
is exactly the same as invoking `rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop`.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There will be no special handling of paths containing `..` segments.
Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:../desktop` is exactly the same as invoking
`rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop`.
The empty path is not allowed as a remote. To alias the current directory
use `.` instead.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make an alias called `remote` for local folder.
First run:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level in `/mnt/storage/backup`
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Copy another local directory to the alias directory called source
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:source

Amazon Drive
-----------------------------------------
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Amazon Drive, formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive, is a cloud storage
service run by Amazon for consumers.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Status
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**Important:** rclone supports Amazon Drive only if you have your own
set of API keys. Unfortunately the [Amazon Drive developer
program](https://developer.amazon.com/amazon-drive) is now closed to
new entries so if you don't already have your own set of keys you will
not be able to use rclone with Amazon Drive.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For the history on why rclone no longer has a set of Amazon Drive API
keys see [the forum](https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-has-been-banned-from-amazon-drive/2314).
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you happen to know anyone who works at Amazon then please ask them
to re-instate rclone into the Amazon Drive developer program - thanks!
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Setup
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The initial setup for Amazon Drive involves getting a token from
Amazon which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks
you through it.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The configuration process for Amazon Drive may involve using an [oauth
proxy](https://github.com/ncw/oauthproxy). This is used to keep the
Amazon credentials out of the source code. The proxy runs in Google's
very secure App Engine environment and doesn't store any credentials
which pass through it.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Since rclone doesn't currently have its own Amazon Drive credentials
so you will either need to have your own `client_id` and
`client_secret` with Amazon Drive, or use a third party oauth proxy
in which case you will need to enter `client_id`, `client_secret`,
`auth_url` and `token_url`.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note also if you are not using Amazon's `auth_url` and `token_url`,
(ie you filled in something for those) then if setting up on a remote
machine you can only use the [copying the config method of
configuration](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/#configuring-by-copying-the-config-file)
- `rclone authorize` will not work.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a
machine with no Internet browser available.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Amazon. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification
code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your Amazon Drive
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your Amazon Drive
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

### Modified time and MD5SUMs ###
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Amazon Drive doesn't allow modification times to be changed via
the API so these won't be accurate or used for syncing.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It does store MD5SUMs so for a more accurate sync, you can use the
`--checksum` flag.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| NUL | 0x00 | ␀ |

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Deleting files ###
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Amazon
don't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Amazon's apps or via
the Amazon Drive website. As of November 17, 2016, files are
automatically deleted by Amazon from the trash after 30 days.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Using with non `.com` Amazon accounts ###
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Let's say you usually use `amazon.co.uk`. When you authenticate with
rclone it will take you to an `amazon.com` page to log in. Your
`amazon.co.uk` email and password should work here just fine.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00

### Standard Options

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Additional time per GB to wait after a failed complete upload to see if it appears.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sometimes Amazon Drive gives an error when a file has been fully
uploaded but the file appears anyway after a little while. This
happens sometimes for files over 1GB in size and nearly every time for
files bigger than 10GB. This parameter controls the time rclone waits
for the file to appear.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The default value for this parameter is 3 minutes per GB, so by
default it will wait 3 minutes for every GB uploaded to see if the
file appears.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can disable this feature by setting it to 0. This may cause
conflict errors as rclone retries the failed upload but the file will
most likely appear correctly eventually.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These values were determined empirically by observing lots of uploads
of big files for a range of file sizes.

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

Files >= this size will be downloaded via their tempLink.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files this size or more will be downloaded via their "tempLink". This
is to work around a problem with Amazon Drive which blocks downloads
of files bigger than about 10GB. The default for this is 9GB which
shouldn't need to be changed.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To download files above this threshold, rclone requests a "tempLink"
which downloads the file through a temporary URL directly from the
underlying S3 storage.

### Limitations ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that Amazon Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a
file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Amazon Drive has rate limiting so you may notice errors in the
sync (429 errors). rclone will automatically retry the sync up to 3
times by default (see `--retries` flag) which should hopefully work
around this problem.
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Amazon Drive has an internal limit of file sizes that can be uploaded
to the service. This limit is not officially published, but all files
larger than this will fail.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
At the time of writing (Jan 2016) is in the area of 50GB per file.
This means that larger files are likely to fail.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Unfortunately there is no way for rclone to see that this failure is
because of file size, so it will retry the operation, as any other
failure. To avoid this problem, use `--max-size 50000M` option to limit
the maximum size of uploaded files. Note that `--max-size` does not split
files into segments, it only ignores files over this size.

Amazon S3 Storage Providers
--------------------------------------------------------
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The S3 backend can be used with a number of different providers:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- AWS S3
- Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) Object Storage System (OSS)
- Ceph
- DigitalOcean Spaces
- Dreamhost
- IBM COS S3
- Minio
- Scaleway
- StackPath
- Wasabi
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

### --fast-list ###
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
### --update and --use-server-modtime ###
As noted below, the modified time is stored on metadata on the object. It is
used by default for all operations that require checking the time a file was
last updated. It allows rclone to treat the remote more like a true filesystem,
but it is inefficient because it requires an extra API call to retrieve the
metadata.
For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the remote is
sufficient to determine if it is "dirty". By using `--update` along with
`--use-server-modtime`, you can avoid the extra API call and simply upload
files whose local modtime is newer than the time it was last uploaded.
### Modified time ###
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
`X-Amz-Meta-Mtime` as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
If the modification time needs to be updated rclone will attempt to perform a server
side copy to update the modification if the object can be copied in a single part.
In the case the object is larger than 5Gb or is in Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive
storage the object will be uploaded rather than copied.
### Cleanup ###
If you run `rclone cleanup s3:bucket` then it will remove all pending
multipart uploads older than 24 hours. You can use the `-i` flag to
see exactly what it will do. If you want more control over the expiry
date then run `rclone backend cleanup s3:bucket -o max-age=1h` to
expire all uploads older than one hour. You can use `rclone backend
list-multipart-uploads s3:bucket` to see the pending multipart
uploads.
#### Restricted filename characters
S3 allows any valid UTF-8 string as a key.
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8), as
they can't be used in XML.
The following characters are replaced since these are problematic when
dealing with the REST API:
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| NUL | 0x00 | ␀ |
| / | 0x2F | |
The encoding will also encode these file names as they don't seem to
work with the SDK properly:
| File name | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----------:|
| . | |
| .. | |
### Multipart uploads ###
rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can
upload files bigger than 5GB.
Note that files uploaded *both* with multipart upload *and* through
crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.
rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the
point specified by `--s3-upload-cutoff`. This can be a maximum of 5GB
and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload multipart files).
The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by
`--s3-chunk-size` and the number of chunks uploaded concurrently is
specified by `--s3-upload-concurrency`.
Multipart uploads will use `--transfers` * `--s3-upload-concurrency` *
`--s3-chunk-size` extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra
memory.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Single part transfers can be faster than multipart transfers or slower
depending on your latency from S3 - the more latency, the more likely
single part transfers will be faster.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Increasing `--s3-upload-concurrency` will increase throughput (8 would
be a sensible value) and increasing `--s3-chunk-size` also increases
throughput (16M would be sensible). Increasing either of these will
use more memory. The default values are high enough to gain most of
the possible performance without using too much memory.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Buckets and Regions ###
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (`rclone lsd`) using any region,
but you can only access the content of a bucket from the region it was
created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong region,
you will get an error, `incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX'
region`.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Authentication ###
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are a number of ways to supply `rclone` with a set of AWS
credentials, with and without using the environment.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The different authentication methods are tried in this order:
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Directly in the rclone configuration file (`env_auth = false` in the config file):
- `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` are required.
- `session_token` can be optionally set when using AWS STS.
- Runtime configuration (`env_auth = true` in the config file):
- Export the following environment variables before running `rclone`:
- Access Key ID: `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY`
- Secret Access Key: `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY`
- Session Token: `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` (optional)
- Or, use a [named profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-multiple-profiles.html):
- Profile files are standard files used by AWS CLI tools
- By default it will use the profile in your home directory (eg `~/.aws/credentials` on unix based systems) file and the "default" profile, to change set these environment variables:
- `AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE` to control which file.
- `AWS_PROFILE` to control which profile to use.
- Or, run `rclone` in an ECS task with an IAM role (AWS only).
- Or, run `rclone` on an EC2 instance with an IAM role (AWS only).
- Or, run `rclone` in an EKS pod with an IAM role that is associated with a service account (AWS only).
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If none of these option actually end up providing `rclone` with AWS
credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### S3 Permissions ###
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When using the `sync` subcommand of `rclone` the following minimum
permissions are required to be available on the bucket being written to:
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
* `ListBucket`
* `DeleteObject`
* `GetObject`
* `PutObject`
* `PutObjectACL`
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When using the `lsd` subcommand, the `ListAllMyBuckets` permission is required.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Example policy:
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::USER_SID:user/USER_NAME" },
"Action": [ "s3:ListBucket", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject", "s3:PutObjectAcl" ], "Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*", "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME" ] }, {
"Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets", "Resource":
"arn:aws:s3:::*" }
] }
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Notes on above:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
1. This is a policy that can be used when creating bucket. It assumes
that `USER_NAME` has been created.
2. The Resource entry must include both resource ARNs, as one implies
the bucket and the other implies the bucket's objects.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For reference, [here's an Ansible script](https://gist.github.com/ebridges/ebfc9042dd7c756cd101cfa807b7ae2b)
that will generate one or more buckets that will work with `rclone sync`.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Key Management System (KMS) ###
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are using server side encryption with KMS then you will find
you can't transfer small objects. As a work-around you can use the
`--ignore-checksum` flag.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
A proper fix is being worked on in [issue #1824](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1824).
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive ###
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can upload objects using the glacier storage class or transition them to glacier using a [lifecycle policy](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/create-lifecycle.html).
The bucket can still be synced or copied into normally, but if rclone
tries to access data from the glacier storage class you will see an error like below.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
2017/09/11 19:07:43 Failed to sync: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: path/to/file
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In this case you need to [restore](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/restore-archived-objects.html)

2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of chunk_size.
The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5GB.

2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Chunk size to use for uploading.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff or files with unknown
size (eg from "rclone rcat" or uploaded with "rclone mount" or google
photos or google docs) they will be uploaded as multipart uploads
using this chunk size.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that "--s3-upload-concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered
in memory per transfer.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are transferring large files over high speed links and you have
enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone will automatically increase the chunk size when uploading a
large file of known size to stay below the 10,000 chunks limit.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files of unknown size are uploaded with the configured
chunk_size. Since the default chunk size is 5MB and there can be at
most 10,000 chunks, this means that by default the maximum size of
file you can stream upload is 48GB. If you wish to stream upload
larger files then you will need to increase chunk_size.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Maximum number of parts in a multipart upload.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This option defines the maximum number of multipart chunks to use
when doing a multipart upload.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can be useful if a service does not support the AWS S3
specification of 10,000 chunks.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Any files larger than this that need to be server side copied will be
copied in chunks of this size.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Normally rclone will calculate the MD5 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files
to start uploading.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If this variable is empty rclone will look for the
"AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE" env variable. If the env value is empty
it will default to the current user's home directory.

concurrently.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are uploading small numbers of large file over high speed link
and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then increasing
this may help to speed up the transfers.

2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can be useful when trying to minimise the number of transactions
rclone does if you know the bucket exists already.

### Anonymous access to public buckets ###
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a
blank `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key`. Your config should end
up looking like this:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[anons3] type = s3 provider = AWS env_auth = false access_key_id =
secret_access_key = region = us-east-1 endpoint = location_constraint =
acl = private server_side_encryption = storage_class =
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, eg
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Ceph ###
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[Ceph](https://ceph.com/) is an open source unified, distributed
storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability and
scalability. It has an S3 compatible object storage interface.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use rclone with Ceph, configure as above but leave the region blank
and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this in
your config:
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[ceph] type = s3 provider = Ceph env_auth = false access_key_id = XXX
secret_access_key = YYY region = endpoint =
https://ceph.endpoint.example.com location_constraint = acl =
server_side_encryption = storage_class =
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you are using an older version of CEPH, eg 10.2.x Jewel, then you
may need to supply the parameter `--s3-upload-cutoff 0` or put this in
the config file as `upload_cutoff 0` to work around a bug which causes
uploading of small files to fail.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note also that Ceph sometimes puts `/` in the passwords it gives
users. If you read the secret access key using the command line tools
you will get a JSON blob with the `/` escaped as `\/`. Make sure you
only write `/` in the secret access key.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys
removed).
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
{ "user_id": "xxx", "display_name": "xxxx", "keys": [ { "user": "xxx",
"access_key": "xxxxxx", "secret_key": "xxxxxx/xxxx" } ], }
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the `/` as `\/`, so if you
use the secret key as `xxxxxx/xxxx` it will work fine.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Dreamhost ###
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Dreamhost [DreamObjects](https://www.dreamhost.com/cloud/storage/) is
an object storage system based on CEPH.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use rclone with Dreamhost, configure as above but leave the region blank
and set the endpoint. You should end up with something like this in
your config:
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[dreamobjects] type = s3 provider = DreamHost env_auth = false
access_key_id = your_access_key secret_access_key = your_secret_key
region = endpoint = objects-us-west-1.dream.io location_constraint = acl
= private server_side_encryption = storage_class =
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### DigitalOcean Spaces ###
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/object-storage/) is an [S3-interoperable](https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/spaces/) object storage service from cloud provider DigitalOcean.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To connect to DigitalOcean Spaces you will need an access key and secret key. These can be retrieved on the "[Applications & API](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens)" page of the DigitalOcean control panel. They will be needed when prompted by `rclone config` for your `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key`.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When prompted for a `region` or `location_constraint`, press enter to use the default value. The region must be included in the `endpoint` setting (e.g. `nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com`). The default values can be used for other settings.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Going through the whole process of creating a new remote by running `rclone config`, each prompt should be answered as shown below:
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Storage> s3 env_auth> 1 access_key_id> YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key> YOUR_SECRET_KEY region> endpoint>
nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com location_constraint> acl> storage_class>
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The resulting configuration file should look like:
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[spaces] type = s3 provider = DigitalOcean env_auth = false
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region = endpoint = nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com location_constraint =
acl = server_side_encryption = storage_class =
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured, you can create a new Space and begin copying files. For example:
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone mkdir spaces:my-new-space rclone copy /path/to/files
spaces:my-new-space
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is very easy to install and provides an S3 compatible server which can be used by rclone.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use it, install Minio following the instructions [here](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-quickstart-guide).
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When it configures itself Minio will print something like this

These details need to go into `rclone config` like this. Note that it
is important to put the region in as stated above.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Which makes the config file look like this
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[minio] type = s3 provider = Minio env_auth = false access_key_id =

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So once set up, for example to copy files into a bucket
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Application Keys ###
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
B2 supports multiple [Application Keys for different access permission
to B2 Buckets](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/application_keys.html).
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can use these with rclone too; you will need to use rclone version 1.43
or later.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Follow Backblaze's docs to create an Application Key with the required
permission and add the `applicationKeyId` as the `account` and the
`Application Key` itself as the `key`.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that you must put the _applicationKeyId_ as the `account` you
can't use the master Account ID. If you try then B2 will return 401
errors.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### --fast-list ###
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time ###
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
`X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis` as milliseconds since 1970-01-01
in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as
a modified time.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported. Note that
if a modification time needs to be updated on an object then it will
create a new version of the object.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
the following characters are also replaced:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| \ | 0x5C | |
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that in 2020-05 Backblaze started allowing \ characters in file
names. Rclone hasn't changed its encoding as this could cause syncs to
re-transfer files. If you want rclone not to replace \ then see the
`--b2-encoding` flag below and remove the `BackSlash` from the
string. This can be set in the config.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### SHA1 checksums ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and
will be used in the syncing process.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Large files (bigger than the limit in `--b2-upload-cutoff`) which are
uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the object as
`X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1` as recommended by Backblaze.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For a large file to be uploaded with an SHA1 checksum, the source
needs to support SHA1 checksums. The local disk supports SHA1
checksums so large file transfers from local disk will have an SHA1.
See [the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#features) for exactly which remotes
support SHA1.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular `crypt` will upload
large files without SHA1 checksums. This may be fixed in the future
(see [#1767](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1767)).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files sizes below `--b2-upload-cutoff` will always have an SHA1
regardless of the source.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Transfers ###
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equipped laptop the optimum
setting is about `--transfers 32` though higher numbers may be used
for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary
depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want
to load your computer, etc. The default of `--transfers 4` is
definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that uploading big files (bigger than 200 MB by default) will use
a 96 MB RAM buffer by default. There can be at most `--transfers` of
these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory
used.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Versions ###
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a [new version
of it](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html).
Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden
and still be available. Conversely, you may opt in to a "hard delete"
of files with the `--b2-hard-delete` flag which would permanently remove
the file instead of hiding it.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the
`--b2-versions` flag.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**NB** Note that `--b2-versions` does not work with crypt at the
moment [#1627](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1627). Using
[--backup-dir](https://rclone.org/docs/#backup-dir-dir) with rclone is the recommended
way of working around this.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the
`rclone cleanup remote:bucket` command which will delete all the old
versions of files, leaving the current ones intact. You can also
supply a path and only old versions under that path will be deleted,
eg `rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff`.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that `cleanup` will remove partially uploaded files from the bucket
if they are more than a day old.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When you `purge` a bucket, the current and the old versions will be
deleted then the bucket will be deleted.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However `delete` will cause the current versions of the files to
become hidden old versions.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old
version followed by a `cleanup` of the old versions.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Show current version and all the versions with `--b2-versions` flag.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Clean up all the old versions and show that they've gone.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
$ rclone -q cleanup b2:cleanup-test

$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Data usage ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in different scenarios.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
All copy commands send the following 4 requests:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
/b2api/v1/b2_authorize_account /b2api/v1/b2_create_bucket
/b2api/v1/b2_list_buckets /b2api/v1/b2_list_file_names
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The `b2_list_file_names` request will be sent once for every 1k files
in the remote path, providing the checksum and modification time of
the listed files. As of version 1.33 issue
[#818](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/818) causes extra requests
to be sent when using B2 with Crypt. When a copy operation does not
require any files to be uploaded, no more requests will be sent.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Uploading files that do not require chunking, will send 2 requests per
file upload:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_url /b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Uploading files requiring chunking, will send 2 requests (one each to
start and finish the upload) and another 2 requests for each chunk:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
/b2api/v1/b2_start_large_file /b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_part_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_part/ /b2api/v1/b2_finish_large_file
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Versions ####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Versions can be viewed with the `--b2-versions` flag. When it is set
rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For example
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Listing without `--b2-versions`
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
And with
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test 9 one.txt 8
one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt 16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt 15
one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Showing that the current version is unchanged but older versions can
be seen. These have the UTC date that they were uploaded to the
server to the nearest millisecond appended to them.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that when using `--b2-versions` no file write operations are
permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### B2 and rclone link ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone supports generating file share links for private B2 buckets.
They can either be for a file for example:
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
./rclone link B2:bucket/path/to/file.txt
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file.txt?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
or if run on a directory you will get:
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
./rclone link B2:bucket/path
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you can then use the authorization token (the part of the url from the
`?Authorization=` on) on any file path under that directory. For example:
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/to/file1?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/file2?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/bucket/path/folder/file3?Authorization=xxxxxxxx
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is for debugging purposes only. Setting it to one of the strings
below will cause b2 to return specific errors:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
* "fail_some_uploads"
* "expire_some_account_authorization_tokens"
* "force_cap_exceeded"
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These will be set in the "X-Bz-Test-Mode" header which is documented
in the [b2 integrations checklist](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/integration_checklist.html).

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Normally rclone will calculate the SHA1 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files
to start uploading.

Box
-----------------------------------------
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The initial setup for Box involves getting a token from Box which you
can do either in your browser, or with a config.json downloaded from Box
to use JWT authentication. `rclone config` walks you through it.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip]
XX / Box  "box" [snip] Storage> box Box App Client Id - leave blank
normally. client_id> Box App Client Secret - leave blank normally.
client_secret> Box App config.json location Leave blank normally. Enter
a string value. Press Enter for the default (""). box_config_file> Box

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("user"). Choose a
number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Rclone should act on
behalf of a user  "user" 2 / Rclone should act on behalf of a service
account  "enterprise" box_sub_type> Remote config Use auto config? * Say
Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
y) Yes n) No y/n> y If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the
following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth Log in and authorize rclone
for access Waiting for code... Got code -------------------- [remote]
client_id = client_secret = token =
{"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"XXX"}
-------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete
this remote y/e/d> y
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a
machine with no Internet browser available.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Box. This only runs from the moment it opens
your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This
is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require you to unblock
it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your Box
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your Box
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To copy a local directory to an Box directory called backup
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Using rclone with an Enterprise account with SSO ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you have an "Enterprise" account type with Box with single sign on
(SSO), you need to create a password to use Box with rclone. This can
be done at your Enterprise Box account by going to Settings, "Account"
Tab, and then set the password in the "Authentication" field.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once you have done this, you can setup your Enterprise Box account
using the same procedure detailed above in the, using the password you
have just set.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Invalid refresh token ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
According to the [box docs](https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/oauth-20#section-6-using-the-access-and-refresh-tokens):
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
> Each refresh_token is valid for one use in 60 days.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that if you
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
* Don't use the box remote for 60 days
* Copy the config file with a box refresh token in and use it in two places
* Get an error on a token refresh
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
then rclone will return an error which includes the text `Invalid
refresh token`.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To fix this you will need to use oauth2 again to update the refresh
token. You can use the methods in [the remote setup
docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/), bearing in mind that if you use the copy the
config file method, you should not use that remote on the computer you
did the authentication on.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is how to do it.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
$ rclone config Current remotes:

2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Say Y if not sure
- Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time and hashes ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Box allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Box supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use the `--checksum`
flag.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
the following characters are also replaced:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| \ | 0x5C | |
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
File names can also not end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| SP | 0x20 | ␠ |
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Transfers ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For files above 50MB rclone will use a chunked transfer. Rclone will
upload up to `--transfers` chunks at the same time (shared among all
the multipart uploads). Chunks are buffered in memory and are
normally 8MB so increasing `--transfers` will increase memory use.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Deleting files ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Depending on the enterprise settings for your user, the item will
either be actually deleted from Box or moved to the trash.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Emptying the trash is supported via the rclone however cleanup command
however this deletes every trashed file and folder individually so it
may take a very long time.
Emptying the trash via the WebUI does not have this limitation
so it is advised to empty the trash via the WebUI.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Root folder ID ###
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone. This is the directory
(identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
of your Box drive.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the last segment
of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the Box web
interface.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
`https://app.box.com/folder/11xxxxxxxxx8`
in the browser, then you use `11xxxxxxxxx8` as
the `root_folder_id` in the config.

### Limitations ###
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that Box is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Box file names can't have the `\` character in. rclone maps this to
and from an identical looking unicode equivalent ``.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Box only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Cache (BETA)
-----------------------------------------
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The `cache` remote wraps another existing remote and stores file structure
and its data for long running tasks like `rclone mount`.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Status
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The cache backend code is working but it currently doesn't
have a maintainer so there are [outstanding bugs](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug+label%3A%22Remote%3A+Cache%22) which aren't getting fixed.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The cache backend is due to be phased out in favour of the VFS caching
layer eventually which is more tightly integrated into rclone.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Until this happens we recommend only using the cache backend if you
find you can't work without it. There are many docs online describing
the use of the cache backend to minimize API hits and by-and-large
these are out of date and the cache backend isn't needed in those
scenarios any more.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Setup
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To get started you just need to have an existing remote which can be configured
with `cache`.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `test-cache`. First run:
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy
remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q> n name>
test-cache Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or
type in your own value [snip] XX / Cache a remote  "cache" [snip]
Storage> cache Remote to cache. Normally should contain a ':' and a
path, eg "myremote:path/to/dir", "myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:"
(not recommended). remote> local:/test Optional: The URL of the Plex
server plex_url> http://127.0.0.1:32400 Optional: The username of the
Plex user plex_username> dummyusername Optional: The password of the
Plex user y) Yes type in my own password g) Generate random password n)
No leave this optional password blank y/g/n> y Enter the password:
password: Confirm the password: password: The size of a chunk. Lower
value good for slow connections but can affect seamless reading.
Default: 5M Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 /
1MB  "1m" 2 / 5 MB  "5M" 3 / 10 MB  "10M" chunk_size> 2 How much time
should object info (file size, file hashes etc) be stored in cache. Use
a very high value if you don't plan on changing the source FS from
outside the cache. Accepted units are: "s", "m", "h". Default: 5m Choose
a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / 1 hour  "1h" 2 / 24
hours  "24h" 3 / 24 hours  "48h" info_age> 2 The maximum size of stored
chunks. When the storage grows beyond this size, the oldest chunks will
be deleted. Default: 10G Choose a number from below, or type in your own
value 1 / 500 MB  "500M" 2 / 1 GB  "1G" 3 / 10 GB  "10G"
chunk_total_size> 3 Remote config -------------------- [test-cache]
remote = local:/test plex_url = http://127.0.0.1:32400 plex_username =
dummyusername plex_password = *** ENCRYPTED *** chunk_size = 5M info_age
= 48h chunk_total_size = 10G
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can then use it like this,
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your drive
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd test-cache:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your drive
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls test-cache:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To start a cached mount
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone mount --allow-other test-cache: /var/tmp/test-cache
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Write Features ###
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Offline uploading ###
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In an effort to make writing through cache more reliable, the backend
now supports this feature which can be activated by specifying a
`cache-tmp-upload-path`.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
A files goes through these states when using this feature:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
1. An upload is started (usually by copying a file on the cache remote)
2. When the copy to the temporary location is complete the file is part
of the cached remote and looks and behaves like any other file (reading included)
3. After `cache-tmp-wait-time` passes and the file is next in line, `rclone move`
is used to move the file to the cloud provider
4. Reading the file still works during the upload but most modifications on it will be prohibited
5. Once the move is complete the file is unlocked for modifications as it
becomes as any other regular file
6. If the file is being read through `cache` when it's actually
deleted from the temporary path then `cache` will simply swap the source
to the cloud provider without interrupting the reading (small blip can happen though)
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files are uploaded in sequence and only one file is uploaded at a time.
Uploads will be stored in a queue and be processed based on the order they were added.
The queue and the temporary storage is persistent across restarts but
can be cleared on startup with the `--cache-db-purge` flag.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Write Support ###
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Writes are supported through `cache`.
One caveat is that a mounted cache remote does not add any retry or fallback
mechanism to the upload operation. This will depend on the implementation
of the wrapped remote. Consider using `Offline uploading` for reliable writes.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
One special case is covered with `cache-writes` which will cache the file
data at the same time as the upload when it is enabled making it available
from the cache store immediately once the upload is finished.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Read Features ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Multiple connections ####
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To counter the high latency between a local PC where rclone is running
and cloud providers, the cache remote can split multiple requests to the
cloud provider for smaller file chunks and combines them together locally
where they can be available almost immediately before the reader usually
needs them.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is similar to buffering when media files are played online. Rclone
will stay around the current marker but always try its best to stay ahead
and prepare the data before.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Plex Integration ####
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There is a direct integration with Plex which allows cache to detect during reading
if the file is in playback or not. This helps cache to adapt how it queries
the cloud provider depending on what is needed for.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Scans will have a minimum amount of workers (1) while in a confirmed playback cache
will deploy the configured number of workers.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This integration opens the doorway to additional performance improvements
which will be explored in the near future.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**Note:** If Plex options are not configured, `cache` will function with its
configured options without adapting any of its settings.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
How to enable? Run `rclone config` and add all the Plex options (endpoint, username
and password) in your remote and it will be automatically enabled.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Affected settings:
- `cache-workers`: _Configured value_ during confirmed playback or _1_ all the other times
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
##### Certificate Validation #####
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When the Plex server is configured to only accept secure connections, it is
possible to use `.plex.direct` URLs to ensure certificate validation succeeds.
These URLs are used by Plex internally to connect to the Plex server securely.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The format for these URLs is the following:
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https://ip-with-dots-replaced.server-hash.plex.direct:32400/
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The `ip-with-dots-replaced` part can be any IPv4 address, where the dots
have been replaced with dashes, e.g. `127.0.0.1` becomes `127-0-0-1`.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To get the `server-hash` part, the easiest way is to visit
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00

### Known issues ###
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Mount and --dir-cache-time ####
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--dir-cache-time controls the first layer of directory caching which works at the mount layer.
Being an independent caching mechanism from the `cache` backend, it will manage its own entries
based on the configured time.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To avoid getting in a scenario where dir cache has obsolete data and cache would have the correct
one, try to set `--dir-cache-time` to a lower time than `--cache-info-age`. Default values are
already configured in this way.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Windows support - Experimental ####
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are a couple of issues with Windows `mount` functionality that still require some investigations.
It should be considered as experimental thus far as fixes come in for this OS.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Most of the issues seem to be related to the difference between filesystems
on Linux flavors and Windows as cache is heavily dependent on them.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Any reports or feedback on how cache behaves on this OS is greatly appreciated.

#### Risk of throttling ####
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Future iterations of the cache backend will make use of the pooling functionality
of the cloud provider to synchronize and at the same time make writing through it
more tolerant to failures.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are a couple of enhancements in track to add these but in the meantime
there is a valid concern that the expiring cache listings can lead to cloud provider
throttles or bans due to repeated queries on it for very large mounts.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Some recommendations:
- don't use a very small interval for entry information (`--cache-info-age`)
- while writes aren't yet optimised, you can still write through `cache` which gives you the advantage
of adding the file in the cache at the same time if configured to do so.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

#### cache and crypt ####
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
One common scenario is to keep your data encrypted in the cloud provider
using the `crypt` remote. `crypt` uses a similar technique to wrap around
an existing remote and handles this translation in a seamless way.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There is an issue with wrapping the remotes in this order:
**cloud remote** -> **crypt** -> **cache**
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
During testing, I experienced a lot of bans with the remotes in this order.
I suspect it might be related to how crypt opens files on the cloud provider
which makes it think we're downloading the full file instead of small chunks.
Organizing the remotes in this order yields better results:
**cloud remote** -> **cache** -> **crypt**
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### absolute remote paths ####
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
`cache` can not differentiate between relative and absolute paths for the wrapped remote.
Any path given in the `remote` config setting and on the command line will be passed to
the wrapped remote as is, but for storing the chunks on disk the path will be made
relative by removing any leading `/` character.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This behavior is irrelevant for most backend types, but there are backends where a leading `/`
changes the effective directory, e.g. in the `sftp` backend paths starting with a `/` are
relative to the root of the SSH server and paths without are relative to the user home directory.
As a result `sftp:bin` and `sftp:/bin` will share the same cache folder, even if they represent
a different directory on the SSH server.

### Cache and Remote Control (--rc) ###
Cache supports the new `--rc` mode in rclone and can be remote controlled through the following end points:
By default, the listener is disabled if you do not add the flag.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### rc cache/expire
Purge a remote from the cache backend. Supports either a directory or a file.
It supports both encrypted and unencrypted file names if cache is wrapped by crypt.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The size of a chunk (partial file data).
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use lower numbers for slower connections. If the chunk size is
changed, any downloaded chunks will be invalid and cache-chunk-path
will need to be cleared or unexpected EOF errors will occur.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
How long to cache file structure information (directory listings, file size, times etc).
If all write operations are done through the cache then you can safely make
this value very large as the cache store will also be updated in real time.

2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the cache exceeds this value then it will start to delete the
oldest chunks until it goes under this value.

#### --cache-chunk-path
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Directory to cache chunk files.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Path to where partial file data (chunks) are stored locally. The remote
name is appended to the final path.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This config follows the "--cache-db-path". If you specify a custom
location for "--cache-db-path" and don't specify one for "--cache-chunk-path"
then "--cache-chunk-path" will use the same path as "--cache-db-path".

#### --cache-chunk-clean-interval
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
How often should the cache perform cleanups of the chunk storage.
The default value should be ok for most people. If you find that the
cache goes over "cache-chunk-total-size" too often then try to lower
this value to force it to perform cleanups more often.

#### --cache-read-retries
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
How many times to retry a read from a cache storage.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Since reading from a cache stream is independent from downloading file
data, readers can get to a point where there's no more data in the
cache. Most of the times this can indicate a connectivity issue if
cache isn't able to provide file data anymore.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For really slow connections, increase this to a point where the stream is
able to provide data but your experience will be very stuttering.

#### --cache-workers
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
How many workers should run in parallel to download chunks.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Higher values will mean more parallel processing (better CPU needed)
and more concurrent requests on the cloud provider. This impacts
several aspects like the cloud provider API limits, more stress on the
hardware that rclone runs on but it also means that streams will be
more fluid and data will be available much more faster to readers.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**Note**: If the optional Plex integration is enabled then this
setting will adapt to the type of reading performed and the value
specified here will be used as a maximum number of workers to use.

#### --cache-chunk-no-memory
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Disable the in-memory cache for storing chunks during streaming.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default, cache will keep file data during streaming in RAM as well
to provide it to readers as fast as possible.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This transient data is evicted as soon as it is read and the number of
chunks stored doesn't exceed the number of workers. However, depending
on other settings like "cache-chunk-size" and "cache-workers" this footprint
can increase if there are parallel streams too (multiple files being read
at the same time).
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If the hardware permits it, use this feature to provide an overall better
performance during streaming but it can also be disabled if RAM is not
available on the local machine.

#### --cache-rps

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This setting places a hard limit on the number of requests per second
that cache will be doing to the cloud provider remote and try to

Chunker (BETA)
----------------------------------------
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The `chunker` overlay transparently splits large files into smaller chunks
during upload to wrapped remote and transparently assembles them back
when the file is downloaded. This allows to effectively overcome size limits
imposed by storage providers.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use it, first set up the underlying remote following the configuration
instructions for that remote. You can also use a local pathname instead of
a remote.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it `remote:path` here.
Note that anything inside `remote:path` will be chunked and anything outside
won't. This means that if you are using a bucket based remote (eg S3, B2, swift)
then you should probably put the bucket in the remote `s3:bucket`.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Now configure `chunker` using `rclone config`. We will call this one `overlay`
to separate it from the `remote` itself.

### Specifying the remote
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In normal use, make sure the remote has a `:` in. If you specify the remote
without a `:` then rclone will use a local directory of that name.
So if you use a remote of `/path/to/secret/files` then rclone will
chunk stuff in that directory. If you use a remote of `name` then rclone
will put files in a directory called `name` in the current directory.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Chunking
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When rclone starts a file upload, chunker checks the file size. If it
doesn't exceed the configured chunk size, chunker will just pass the file
to the wrapped remote. If a file is large, chunker will transparently cut
data in pieces with temporary names and stream them one by one, on the fly.
Each data chunk will contain the specified number of bytes, except for the
last one which may have less data. If file size is unknown in advance
(this is called a streaming upload), chunker will internally create
a temporary copy, record its size and repeat the above process.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When upload completes, temporary chunk files are finally renamed.
This scheme guarantees that operations can be run in parallel and look
from outside as atomic.
A similar method with hidden temporary chunks is used for other operations
(copy/move/rename etc). If an operation fails, hidden chunks are normally
destroyed, and the target composite file stays intact.
When a composite file download is requested, chunker transparently
assembles it by concatenating data chunks in order. As the split is trivial
one could even manually concatenate data chunks together to obtain the
original content.
When the `list` rclone command scans a directory on wrapped remote,
the potential chunk files are accounted for, grouped and assembled into
composite directory entries. Any temporary chunks are hidden.
List and other commands can sometimes come across composite files with
missing or invalid chunks, eg. shadowed by like-named directory or
another file. This usually means that wrapped file system has been directly
tampered with or damaged. If chunker detects a missing chunk it will
by default print warning, skip the whole incomplete group of chunks but
proceed with current command.
You can set the `--chunker-fail-hard` flag to have commands abort with
error message in such cases.
#### Chunk names
The default chunk name format is `*.rclone_chunk.###`, hence by default
chunk names are `BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.001`,
`BIG_FILE_NAME.rclone_chunk.002` etc. You can configure another name format
using the `name_format` configuration file option. The format uses asterisk
`*` as a placeholder for the base file name and one or more consecutive
hash characters `#` as a placeholder for sequential chunk number.
There must be one and only one asterisk. The number of consecutive hash
characters defines the minimum length of a string representing a chunk number.
If decimal chunk number has less digits than the number of hashes, it is
left-padded by zeros. If the decimal string is longer, it is left intact.
By default numbering starts from 1 but there is another option that allows
user to start from 0, eg. for compatibility with legacy software.
For example, if name format is `big_*-##.part` and original file name is
`data.txt` and numbering starts from 0, then the first chunk will be named
`big_data.txt-00.part`, the 99th chunk will be `big_data.txt-98.part`
and the 302nd chunk will become `big_data.txt-301.part`.
Note that `list` assembles composite directory entries only when chunk names
match the configured format and treats non-conforming file names as normal
non-chunked files.
### Metadata
Besides data chunks chunker will by default create metadata object for
a composite file. The object is named after the original file.
Chunker allows user to disable metadata completely (the `none` format).
Note that metadata is normally not created for files smaller than the
configured chunk size. This may change in future rclone releases.
#### Simple JSON metadata format
This is the default format. It supports hash sums and chunk validation
for composite files. Meta objects carry the following fields:
- `ver` - version of format, currently `1`
- `size` - total size of composite file
- `nchunks` - number of data chunks in file
- `md5` - MD5 hashsum of composite file (if present)
- `sha1` - SHA1 hashsum (if present)
There is no field for composite file name as it's simply equal to the name
of meta object on the wrapped remote. Please refer to respective sections
for details on hashsums and modified time handling.
#### No metadata
You can disable meta objects by setting the meta format option to `none`.
In this mode chunker will scan directory for all files that follow
configured chunk name format, group them by detecting chunks with the same
base name and show group names as virtual composite files.
This method is more prone to missing chunk errors (especially missing
last chunk) than format with metadata enabled.
### Hashsums
Chunker supports hashsums only when a compatible metadata is present.
Hence, if you choose metadata format of `none`, chunker will report hashsum
as `UNSUPPORTED`.
Please note that by default metadata is stored only for composite files.
If a file is smaller than configured chunk size, chunker will transparently
redirect hash requests to wrapped remote, so support depends on that.
You will see the empty string as a hashsum of requested type for small
files if the wrapped remote doesn't support it.
Many storage backends support MD5 and SHA1 hash types, so does chunker.
With chunker you can choose one or another but not both.
MD5 is set by default as the most supported type.
Since chunker keeps hashes for composite files and falls back to the
wrapped remote hash for non-chunked ones, we advise you to choose the same
hash type as supported by wrapped remote so that your file listings
look coherent.
If your storage backend does not support MD5 or SHA1 but you need consistent
file hashing, configure chunker with `md5all` or `sha1all`. These two modes
guarantee given hash for all files. If wrapped remote doesn't support it,
chunker will then add metadata to all files, even small. However, this can
double the amount of small files in storage and incur additional service charges.
You can even use chunker to force md5/sha1 support in any other remote
at expense of sidecar meta objects by setting eg. `chunk_type=sha1all`
to force hashsums and `chunk_size=1P` to effectively disable chunking.
Normally, when a file is copied to chunker controlled remote, chunker
will ask the file source for compatible file hash and revert to on-the-fly
calculation if none is found. This involves some CPU overhead but provides
a guarantee that given hashsum is available. Also, chunker will reject
a server-side copy or move operation if source and destination hashsum
types are different resulting in the extra network bandwidth, too.
In some rare cases this may be undesired, so chunker provides two optional
choices: `sha1quick` and `md5quick`. If the source does not support primary
hash type and the quick mode is enabled, chunker will try to fall back to
the secondary type. This will save CPU and bandwidth but can result in empty
hashsums at destination. Beware of consequences: the `sync` command will
revert (sometimes silently) to time/size comparison if compatible hashsums
between source and target are not found.
### Modified time
Chunker stores modification times using the wrapped remote so support
depends on that. For a small non-chunked file the chunker overlay simply
manipulates modification time of the wrapped remote file.
For a composite file with metadata chunker will get and set
modification time of the metadata object on the wrapped remote.
If file is chunked but metadata format is `none` then chunker will
use modification time of the first data chunk.
### Migrations
The idiomatic way to migrate to a different chunk size, hash type or
chunk naming scheme is to:
- Collect all your chunked files under a directory and have your
chunker remote point to it.
- Create another directory (most probably on the same cloud storage)
and configure a new remote with desired metadata format,
hash type, chunk naming etc.
- Now run `rclone sync -i oldchunks: newchunks:` and all your data
will be transparently converted in transfer.
This may take some time, yet chunker will try server-side
copy if possible.
- After checking data integrity you may remove configuration section
of the old remote.
If rclone gets killed during a long operation on a big composite file,
hidden temporary chunks may stay in the directory. They will not be
shown by the `list` command but will eat up your account quota.
Please note that the `deletefile` command deletes only active
chunks of a file. As a workaround, you can use remote of the wrapped
file system to see them.
An easy way to get rid of hidden garbage is to copy littered directory
somewhere using the chunker remote and purge the original directory.
The `copy` command will copy only active chunks while the `purge` will
remove everything including garbage.
### Caveats and Limitations
Chunker requires wrapped remote to support server side `move` (or `copy` +
`delete`) operations, otherwise it will explicitly refuse to start.
This is because it internally renames temporary chunk files to their final
names when an operation completes successfully.
Chunker encodes chunk number in file name, so with default `name_format`
setting it adds 17 characters. Also chunker adds 7 characters of temporary
suffix during operations. Many file systems limit base file name without path
by 255 characters. Using rclone's crypt remote as a base file system limits
file name by 143 characters. Thus, maximum name length is 231 for most files
and 119 for chunker-over-crypt. A user in need can change name format to
eg. `*.rcc##` and save 10 characters (provided at most 99 chunks per file).
Note that a move implemented using the copy-and-delete method may incur
double charging with some cloud storage providers.
Chunker will not automatically rename existing chunks when you run
`rclone config` on a live remote and change the chunk name format.
Beware that in result of this some files which have been treated as chunks
before the change can pop up in directory listings as normal files
and vice versa. The same warning holds for the chunk size.
If you desperately need to change critical chunking settings, you should
run data migration as described above.
If wrapped remote is case insensitive, the chunker overlay will inherit
that property (so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and "hello.doc"
in the same directory).

## Citrix ShareFile
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
[Citrix ShareFile](https://sharefile.com) is a secure file sharing and transfer service aimed as business.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The initial setup for Citrix ShareFile involves getting a token from
Citrix ShareFile which you can in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
through it.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value XX / Citrix

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Leave blank to access "Personal Folders". You can use one of the
standard values here or any folder ID (long hex number ID). Enter a
string value. Press Enter for the default (""). Choose a number from
below, or type in your own value 1 / Access the Personal Folders.
(Default)  "" 2 / Access the Favorites folder.  "favorites" 3 / Access

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See the [remote setup docs](https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a
machine with no Internet browser available.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Citrix ShareFile. This only runs from the moment it opens
your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This
is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require you to unblock
it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your ShareFile
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your ShareFile
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To copy a local directory to an ShareFile directory called backup
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time and hashes ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
ShareFile allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
ShareFile supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the `--checksum`
flag.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Transfers ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For files above 128MB rclone will use a chunked transfer. Rclone will
upload up to `--transfers` chunks at the same time (shared among all
the multipart uploads). Chunks are buffered in memory and are
normally 64MB so increasing `--transfers` will increase memory use.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Limitations ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that ShareFile is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
ShareFile only supports filenames up to 256 characters in length.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
the following characters are also replaced:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| \\ | 0x5C | |

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
File names can also not start or end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the first or last character in the
name:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| SP | 0x20 | ␠ |
| . | 0x2E | |
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Standard Options

Crypt
----------------------------------------
The `crypt` remote encrypts and decrypts another remote.
To use it first set up the underlying remote following the config
instructions for that remote. You can also use a local pathname
instead of a remote which will encrypt and decrypt from that directory
which might be useful for encrypting onto a USB stick for example.
First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it
`remote:path` in these docs. Note that anything inside `remote:path`
will be encrypted and anything outside won't. This means that if you
are using a bucket based remote (eg S3, B2, swift) then you should
probably put the bucket in the remote `s3:bucket`. If you just use
`s3:` then rclone will make encrypted bucket names too (if using file
name encryption) which may or may not be what you want.
Now configure `crypt` using `rclone config`. We will call this one
`secret` to differentiate it from the `remote`.

**Important** The password is stored in the config file is lightly
obscured so it isn't immediately obvious what it is. It is in no way
secure unless you use config file encryption.
A long passphrase is recommended, or you can use a random one.
The obscured password is created by using AES-CTR with a static key, with
the salt stored verbatim at the beginning of the obscured password. This
static key is shared by between all versions of rclone.
If you reconfigure rclone with the same passwords/passphrases
elsewhere it will be compatible, but the obscured version will be different
due to the different salt.
Note that rclone does not encrypt
* file length - this can be calculated within 16 bytes
* modification time - used for syncing
## Specifying the remote ##
In normal use, make sure the remote has a `:` in. If you specify the
remote without a `:` then rclone will use a local directory of that
name. So if you use a remote of `/path/to/secret/files` then rclone
will encrypt stuff to that directory. If you use a remote of `name`
then rclone will put files in a directory called `name` in the current
directory.
If you specify the remote as `remote:path/to/dir` then rclone will
store encrypted files in `path/to/dir` on the remote. If you are using
file name encryption, then when you save files to
`secret:subdir/subfile` this will store them in the unencrypted path
`path/to/dir` but the `subdir/subpath` bit will be encrypted.
Note that unless you want encrypted bucket names (which are difficult
to manage because you won't know what directory they represent in web
interfaces etc), you should probably specify a bucket, eg
`remote:secretbucket` when using bucket based remotes such as S3,
Swift, Hubic, B2, GCS.
## Example ##
To test I made a little directory of files using "standard" file name
encryption.
plaintext/ ├── file0.txt ├── file1.txt └── subdir ├── file2.txt ├──
file3.txt └── subsubdir └── file4.txt
Copy these to the remote and list them back
$ rclone -q copy plaintext secret: $ rclone -q ls secret: 7 file1.txt 6
file0.txt 8 subdir/file2.txt 10 subdir/subsubdir/file4.txt 9
subdir/file3.txt
Now see what that looked like when encrypted
$ rclone -q ls remote:path 55 hagjclgavj2mbiqm6u6cnjjqcg 54
v05749mltvv1tf4onltun46gls 57
86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/dlj7fkq4kdq72emafg7a7s41uo 58
86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/7uu829995du6o42n32otfhjqp4/b9pausrfansjth5ob3jkdqd4lc
56 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/8njh1sk437gttmep3p70g81aps
Note that this retains the directory structure which means you can do this
$ rclone -q ls secret:subdir 8 file2.txt 9 file3.txt 10
subsubdir/file4.txt
If don't use file name encryption then the remote will look like this
- note the `.bin` extensions added to prevent the cloud provider
attempting to interpret the data.
$ rclone -q ls remote:path 54 file0.txt.bin 57 subdir/file3.txt.bin 56
subdir/file2.txt.bin 58 subdir/subsubdir/file4.txt.bin 55 file1.txt.bin
### File name encryption modes ###
Here are some of the features of the file name encryption modes
Off
* doesn't hide file names or directory structure
* allows for longer file names (~246 characters)
* can use sub paths and copy single files
Standard
* file names encrypted
* file names can't be as long (~143 characters)
* can use sub paths and copy single files
* directory structure visible
* identical files names will have identical uploaded names
* can use shortcuts to shorten the directory recursion
Obfuscation
This is a simple "rotate" of the filename, with each file having a rot
distance based on the filename. We store the distance at the beginning
of the filename. So a file called "hello" may become "53.jgnnq".
This is not a strong encryption of filenames, but it may stop automated
scanning tools from picking up on filename patterns. As such it's an
intermediate between "off" and "standard". The advantage is that it
allows for longer path segment names.
There is a possibility with some unicode based filenames that the
obfuscation is weak and may map lower case characters to upper case
equivalents. You can not rely on this for strong protection.
* file names very lightly obfuscated
* file names can be longer than standard encryption
* can use sub paths and copy single files
* directory structure visible
* identical files names will have identical uploaded names
Cloud storage systems have various limits on file name length and
total path length which you are more likely to hit using "Standard"
file name encryption. If you keep your file names to below 156
characters in length then you should be OK on all providers.
There may be an even more secure file name encryption mode in the
future which will address the long file name problem.
### Directory name encryption ###
Crypt offers the option of encrypting dir names or leaving them intact.
There are two options:
True
Encrypts the whole file path including directory names
Example:
`1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
`p0e52nreeaj0a5ea7s64m4j72s/l42g6771hnv3an9cgc8cr2n1ng/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`
False
Only encrypts file names, skips directory names
Example:
`1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
`1/12/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`
### Modified time and hashes ###
Crypt stores modification times using the underlying remote so support
depends on that.
Hashes are not stored for crypt. However the data integrity is
protected by an extremely strong crypto authenticator.
Note that you should use the `rclone cryptcheck` command to check the
integrity of a crypted remote instead of `rclone check` which can't
check the checksums properly.
### Standard Options
Here are the standard options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a remote).
#### --crypt-remote
Remote to encrypt/decrypt.
Normally should contain a ':' and a path, eg "myremote:path/to/dir",
"myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).
- Config: remote
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_REMOTE
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --crypt-filename-encryption
How to encrypt the filenames.
- Config: filename_encryption
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_FILENAME_ENCRYPTION
- Type: string
- Default: "standard"
- Examples:
- "standard"
- Encrypt the filenames see the docs for the details.
- "obfuscate"
- Very simple filename obfuscation.
- "off"
- Don't encrypt the file names. Adds a ".bin" extension only.
#### --crypt-directory-name-encryption
Option to either encrypt directory names or leave them intact.
NB If filename_encryption is "off" then this option will do nothing.
- Config: directory_name_encryption
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_DIRECTORY_NAME_ENCRYPTION
- Type: bool
- Default: true
- Examples:
- "true"
- Encrypt directory names.
- "false"
- Don't encrypt directory names, leave them intact.
#### --crypt-password
Password or pass phrase for encryption.
**NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).
- Config: password
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_PASSWORD
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --crypt-password2
Password or pass phrase for salt. Optional but recommended.
Should be different to the previous password.
**NB** Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).
- Config: password2
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_PASSWORD2
- Type: string
- Default: ""
### Advanced Options
Here are the advanced options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a remote).
#### --crypt-server-side-across-configs
Allow server side operations (eg copy) to work across different crypt configs.
Normally this option is not what you want, but if you have two crypts
pointing to the same backend you can use it.
This can be used, for example, to change file name encryption type
without re-uploading all the data. Just make two crypt backends
pointing to two different directories with the single changed
parameter and use rclone move to move the files between the crypt
remotes.
- Config: server_side_across_configs
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SERVER_SIDE_ACROSS_CONFIGS
- Type: bool
- Default: false
#### --crypt-show-mapping
For all files listed show how the names encrypt.
If this flag is set then for each file that the remote is asked to
list, it will log (at level INFO) a line stating the decrypted file
name and the encrypted file name.
This is so you can work out which encrypted names are which decrypted
names just in case you need to do something with the encrypted file
names, or for debugging purposes.
- Config: show_mapping
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SHOW_MAPPING
- Type: bool
- Default: false
### Backend commands
Here are the commands specific to the crypt backend.
Run them with
rclone backend COMMAND remote:
The help below will explain what arguments each command takes.
See [the "rclone backend" command](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_backend/) for more
info on how to pass options and arguments.
These can be run on a running backend using the rc command
[backend/command](https://rclone.org/rc/#backend/command).
#### encode
Encode the given filename(s)
rclone backend encode remote: [options] [<arguments>+]
This encodes the filenames given as arguments returning a list of
strings of the encoded results.
Usage Example:
rclone backend encode crypt: file1 [file2...]
rclone rc backend/command command=encode fs=crypt: file1 [file2...]
#### decode
Decode the given filename(s)
rclone backend decode remote: [options] [<arguments>+]
This decodes the filenames given as arguments returning a list of
strings of the decoded results. It will return an error if any of the
inputs are invalid.
Usage Example:
rclone backend decode crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]
rclone rc backend/command command=decode fs=crypt: encryptedfile1 [encryptedfile2...]
## Backing up a crypted remote ##
If you wish to backup a crypted remote, it is recommended that you use
`rclone sync` on the encrypted files, and make sure the passwords are
the same in the new encrypted remote.
This will have the following advantages
* `rclone sync` will check the checksums while copying
* you can use `rclone check` between the encrypted remotes
* you don't decrypt and encrypt unnecessarily
For example, let's say you have your original remote at `remote:` with
the encrypted version at `eremote:` with path `remote:crypt`. You
would then set up the new remote `remote2:` and then the encrypted
version `eremote2:` with path `remote2:crypt` using the same passwords
as `eremote:`.
To sync the two remotes you would do
rclone sync -i remote:crypt remote2:crypt
And to check the integrity you would do
rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt
## File formats ##
### File encryption ###
Files are encrypted 1:1 source file to destination object. The file
has a header and is divided into chunks.
#### Header ####
* 8 bytes magic string `RCLONE\x00\x00`
* 24 bytes Nonce (IV)
The initial nonce is generated from the operating systems crypto
strong random number generator. The nonce is incremented for each
chunk read making sure each nonce is unique for each block written.
The chance of a nonce being re-used is minuscule. If you wrote an
exabyte of data (10¹⁸ bytes) you would have a probability of
approximately 2×10⁻³² of re-using a nonce.
#### Chunk ####
Each chunk will contain 64kB of data, except for the last one which
may have less data. The data chunk is in standard NACL secretbox
format. Secretbox uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and
authenticate messages.
Each chunk contains:
* 16 Bytes of Poly1305 authenticator
* 1 - 65536 bytes XSalsa20 encrypted data
64k chunk size was chosen as the best performing chunk size (the
authenticator takes too much time below this and the performance drops
off due to cache effects above this). Note that these chunks are
buffered in memory so they can't be too big.
This uses a 32 byte (256 bit key) key derived from the user password.
#### Examples ####
1 byte file will encrypt to
* 32 bytes header
* 17 bytes data chunk
49 bytes total
1MB (1048576 bytes) file will encrypt to
* 32 bytes header
* 16 chunks of 65568 bytes
1049120 bytes total (a 0.05% overhead). This is the overhead for big
files.
### Name encryption ###
File names are encrypted segment by segment - the path is broken up
into `/` separated strings and these are encrypted individually.
File segments are padded using PKCS#7 to a multiple of 16 bytes
before encryption.
They are then encrypted with EME using AES with 256 bit key. EME
(ECB-Mix-ECB) is a wide-block encryption mode presented in the 2003
paper "A Parallelizable Enciphering Mode" by Halevi and Rogaway.
This makes for deterministic encryption which is what we want - the
same filename must encrypt to the same thing otherwise we can't find
it on the cloud storage system.
This means that
* filenames with the same name will encrypt the same
* filenames which start the same won't have a common prefix
This uses a 32 byte key (256 bits) and a 16 byte (128 bits) IV both of
which are derived from the user password.
After encryption they are written out using a modified version of
standard `base32` encoding as described in RFC4648. The standard
encoding is modified in two ways:
* it becomes lower case (no-one likes upper case filenames!)
* we strip the padding character `=`
`base32` is used rather than the more efficient `base64` so rclone can be
used on case insensitive remotes (eg Windows, Amazon Drive).
### Key derivation ###
Rclone uses `scrypt` with parameters `N=16384, r=8, p=1` with an
optional user supplied salt (password2) to derive the 32+32+16 = 80
bytes of key material required. If the user doesn't supply a salt
then rclone uses an internal one.
`scrypt` makes it impractical to mount a dictionary attack on rclone
encrypted data. For full protection against this you should always use
a salt.
Dropbox
---------------------------------
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg
`remote:directory/subdirectory`.
The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
through it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
n) New remote
o) Delete remote
p) Quit config e/n/d/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX /
Dropbox  "dropbox" [snip] Storage> dropbox Dropbox App Key - leave
blank normally. app_key> Dropbox App Secret - leave blank normally.
app_secret> Remote config Please visit:
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&response_type=code
Enter the code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXX
-------------------- [remote] app_key = app_secret = token =
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
--------------------
q) Yes this is OK
r) Edit this remote
s) Delete this remote y/e/d> y
You can then use it like this,
List directories in top level of your dropbox
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your dropbox
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to a dropbox directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
### Dropbox for business ###
Rclone supports Dropbox for business and Team Folders.
When using Dropbox for business `remote:` and `remote:path/to/file`
will refer to your personal folder.
If you wish to see Team Folders you must use a leading `/` in the
path, so `rclone lsd remote:/` will refer to the root and show you all
Team Folders and your User Folder.
You can then use team folders like this `remote:/TeamFolder` and
`remote:/TeamFolder/path/to/file`.
A leading `/` for a Dropbox personal account will do nothing, but it
will take an extra HTTP transaction so it should be avoided.
### Modified time and Hashes ###
Dropbox supports modified times, but the only way to set a
modification time is to re-upload the file.
This means that if you uploaded your data with an older version of
rclone which didn't support the v2 API and modified times, rclone will
decide to upload all your old data to fix the modification times. If
you don't want this to happen use `--size-only` or `--checksum` flag
to stop it.
Dropbox supports [its own hash
type](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash) which
is checked for all transfers.
#### Restricted filename characters
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| NUL | 0x00 | ␀ |
| / | 0x2F | |
| DEL | 0x7F | ␡ |
| \ | 0x5C | |
File names can also not end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| SP | 0x20 | ␠ |
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
### Standard Options
Here are the standard options specific to dropbox (Dropbox).
#### --dropbox-client-id
OAuth Client Id
Leave blank normally.
- Config: client_id
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --dropbox-client-secret
OAuth Client Secret
Leave blank normally.
- Config: client_secret
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET
- Type: string
- Default: ""
### Advanced Options
Here are the advanced options specific to dropbox (Dropbox).
#### --dropbox-token
OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.
- Config: token
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_TOKEN
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --dropbox-auth-url
Auth server URL.
Leave blank to use the provider defaults.
- Config: auth_url
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_AUTH_URL
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --dropbox-token-url
Token server url.
Leave blank to use the provider defaults.
- Config: token_url
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_TOKEN_URL
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --dropbox-chunk-size
Upload chunk size. (< 150M).
Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of this size.
Note that chunks are buffered in memory (one at a time) so rclone can
deal with retries. Setting this larger will increase the speed
slightly (at most 10% for 128MB in tests) at the cost of using more
memory. It can be set smaller if you are tight on memory.
- Config: chunk_size
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_CHUNK_SIZE
- Type: SizeSuffix
- Default: 48M
#### --dropbox-impersonate
Impersonate this user when using a business account.
- Config: impersonate
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_IMPERSONATE
- Type: string
- Default: ""
#### --dropbox-encoding
This sets the encoding for the backend.
See: the [encoding section in the overview](https://rclone.org/overview/#encoding) for more info.
- Config: encoding
- Env Var: RCLONE_DROPBOX_ENCODING
- Type: MultiEncoder
- Default: Slash,BackSlash,Del,RightSpace,InvalidUtf8,Dot
### Limitations ###
Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
There are some file names such as `thumbs.db` which Dropbox can't
store. There is a full list of them in the ["Ignored Files" section
of this document](https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145). Rclone will
issue an error message `File name disallowed - not uploading` if it
attempts to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.
Some errors may occur if you try to sync copyright-protected files
because Dropbox has its own [copyright detector](https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/30/how-dropbox-knows-when-youre-sharing-copyrighted-stuff-without-actually-looking-at-your-stuff/) that
prevents this sort of file being downloaded. This will return the error `ERROR :
/path/to/your/file: Failed to copy: failed to open source object:
path/restricted_content/.`
If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then `rclone purge
dropbox:dir` will return the error `Failed to purge: There are too
many files involved in this operation`. As a work-around do an
`rclone delete dropbox:dir` followed by an `rclone rmdir dropbox:dir`.
### Get your own Dropbox App ID ###
When you use rclone with Dropbox in its default configuration you are using rclone's App ID. This is shared between all the rclone users.
Here is how to create your own Dropbox App ID for rclone:
1. Log into the [Dropbox App console](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create) with your Dropbox Account (It need not
to be the same account as the Dropbox you want to access)
2. Choose an API => Usually this should be `Dropbox API`
3. Choose the type of access you want to use => `Full Dropbox` or `App Folder`
4. Name your App. The app name is global, so you can't use `rclone` for example
5. Click the button `Create App`
5. Fill `Redirect URIs` as `http://localhost:53682/`
6. Find the `App key` and `App secret` Use these values in rclone config to add a new remote or edit an existing remote.
FTP
------------------------------
FTP is the File Transfer Protocol. FTP support is provided using the
[github.com/jlaffaye/ftp](https://godoc.org/github.com/jlaffaye/ftp)
package.
Paths are specified as `remote:path`. If the path does not begin with
a `/` it is relative to the home directory of the user. An empty path
`remote:` refers to the user's home directory.
Here is an example of making an FTP configuration. First run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. An FTP remote only
needs a host together with and a username and a password. With anonymous FTP
server, you will need to use `anonymous` as username and your email address as
the password.
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy

This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
See all directories in the home directory
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new directory
rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory
List the contents of a directory
rclone ls remote:path/to/directory
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote directory, deleting any
excess files in the directory.
rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:directory
### Modified time ###
FTP does not support modified times. Any times you see on the server
will be time of upload.
### Checksums ###
FTP does not support any checksums.
### Usage without a config file ###
An example how to use the ftp remote without a config file:
rclone lsf :ftp: --ftp-host=speedtest.tele2.net --ftp-user=anonymous --ftp-pass=`rclone obscure dummy`
#### Restricted filename characters
In addition to the [default restricted characters set](https://rclone.org/overview/#restricted-characters)
the following characters are also replaced:
File names can also not end with the following characters.
These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:
| Character | Value | Replacement |
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
| SP | 0x20 | ␠ |
Note that not all FTP servers can have all characters in file names, for example:
| FTP Server| Forbidden characters |
| --------- |:--------------------:|
| proftpd | `*` |
| pureftpd | `\ [ ]` |
### Implicit TLS ###
FTP supports implicit FTP over TLS servers (FTPS). This has to be enabled
in the config for the remote. The default FTPS port is `990` so the
port will likely have to be explicitly set in the config for the remote.
### Standard Options
Here are the standard options specific to ftp (FTP Connection).
#### --ftp-host

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use FTPS over TLS (Implicit)
When using implicit FTP over TLS the client will connect using TLS
right from the start, which in turn breaks the compatibility with
non-TLS-aware servers. This is usually served over port 990 rather
than port 21. Cannot be used in combination with explicit FTP.

### Limitations ###
Note that FTP does have its own implementation of : `--dump headers`,
`--dump bodies`, `--dump auth` for debugging which isn't the same as
the HTTP based backends - it has less fine grained control.
Note that `--timeout` isn't supported (but `--contimeout` is).
Note that `--bind` isn't supported.
FTP could support server side move but doesn't yet.
Note that the ftp backend does not support the `ftp_proxy` environment
variable yet.
Google Cloud Storage
-------------------------------------------------
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Cloud Storage
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
through it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
rclone config

token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only
runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back
the verification code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this
it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host
firewall, or use manual mode.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See all the buckets in your project
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Make a new bucket
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List the contents of a bucket
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:bucket
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any excess
files in the bucket.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:bucket
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Service Account support ###
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can set up rclone with Google Cloud Storage in an unattended mode,
i.e. not tied to a specific end-user Google account. This is useful
when you want to synchronise files onto machines that don't have
actively logged-in users, for example build machines.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To get credentials for Google Cloud Platform
[IAM Service Accounts](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts),
please head to the
[Service Account](https://console.cloud.google.com/permissions/serviceaccounts)
section of the Google Developer Console. Service Accounts behave just
like normal `User` permissions in
[Google Cloud Storage ACLs](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control),
so you can limit their access (e.g. make them read only). After
creating an account, a JSON file containing the Service Account's
credentials will be downloaded onto your machines. These credentials
are what rclone will use for authentication.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path
to your Service Account credentials at the `service_account_file`
prompt and rclone won't use the browser based authentication
flow. If you'd rather stuff the contents of the credentials file into
the rclone config file, you can set `service_account_credentials` with
the actual contents of the file instead, or set the equivalent
environment variable.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Anonymous Access ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For downloads of objects that permit public access you can configure rclone
to use anonymous access by setting `anonymous` to `true`.
With unauthorized access you can't write or create files but only read or list
those buckets and objects that have public read access.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Application Default Credentials ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If no other source of credentials is provided, rclone will fall back
to
[Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/video-intelligence/docs/common/auth#authenticating_with_application_default_credentials)
this is useful both when you already have configured authentication
for your developer account, or in production when running on a google
compute host. Note that if running in docker, you may need to run
additional commands on your google compute machine -
[see this page](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/advanced-authentication#gcloud_as_a_docker_credential_helper).
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that in the case application default credentials are used, there
is no need to explicitly configure a project number.

### --fast-list ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Custom upload headers ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can set custom upload headers with the `--header-upload`
flag. Google Cloud Storage supports the headers as described in the
[working with metadata documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/WorkingWithObjectMetadata)

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores
modification times as metadata on the object, under the "mtime" key in
RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only
runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back
the verification code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this
it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host
firewall, or use manual mode.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can then use it like this,
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List directories in top level of your drive
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsd remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your drive
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone ls remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To copy a local directory to a drive directory called backup
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Scopes ###
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone allows you to select which scope you would like for rclone to
use. This changes what type of token is granted to rclone. [The
scopes are defined
here](https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-auth).
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The scope are
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### drive ####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is the default scope and allows full access to all files, except
for the Application Data Folder (see below).
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Choose this one if you aren't sure.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### drive.readonly ####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This allows read only access to all files. Files may be listed and
downloaded but not uploaded, renamed or deleted.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### drive.file ####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
With this scope rclone can read/view/modify only those files and
folders it creates.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if you uploaded files to drive via the web interface (or any other
means) they will not be visible to rclone.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can be useful if you are using rclone to backup data and you want
to be sure confidential data on your drive is not visible to rclone.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files created with this scope are visible in the web interface.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### drive.appfolder ####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This gives rclone its own private area to store files. Rclone will
not be able to see any other files on your drive and you won't be able
to see rclone's files from the web interface either.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### drive.metadata.readonly ####
This allows read only access to file names only. It does not allow
rclone to download or upload data, or rename or delete files or
directories.
### Root folder ID ###
You can set the `root_folder_id` for rclone. This is the directory
(identified by its `Folder ID`) that rclone considers to be the root
of your drive.
Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the
correct root to use itself.
However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy or to access data within the "Computers" tab on the drive
web interface (where files from Google's Backup and Sync desktop
program go).
In order to do this you will have to find the `Folder ID` of the
directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the last segment
of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the drive web
interface.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
`https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh`
in the browser, then you use `1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh` as
the `root_folder_id` in the config.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**NB** folders under the "Computers" tab seem to be read only (drive
gives a 500 error) when using rclone.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There doesn't appear to be an API to discover the folder IDs of the
"Computers" tab - please contact us if you know otherwise!
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note also that rclone can't access any data under the "Backups" tab on
the google drive web interface yet.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Service Account support ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can set up rclone with Google Drive in an unattended mode,
i.e. not tied to a specific end-user Google account. This is useful
when you want to synchronise files onto machines that don't have
actively logged-in users, for example build machines.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path
to your Service Account credentials at the `service_account_file`
prompt during `rclone config` and rclone won't use the browser based
authentication flow. If you'd rather stuff the contents of the
credentials file into the rclone config file, you can set
`service_account_credentials` with the actual contents of the file
instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Use case - Google Apps/G-suite account and individual Drive ####
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Let's say that you are the administrator of a Google Apps (old) or
G-suite account.
The goal is to store data on an individual's Drive account, who IS
a member of the domain.
We'll call the domain **example.com**, and the user
**foo@example.com**.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There's a few steps we need to go through to accomplish this:
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
##### 1. Create a service account for example.com #####
- To create a service account and obtain its credentials, go to the
[Google Developer Console](https://console.developers.google.com).
- You must have a project - create one if you don't.
- Then go to "IAM & admin" -> "Service Accounts".
- Use the "Create Credentials" button. Fill in "Service account name"
with something that identifies your client. "Role" can be empty.
- Tick "Furnish a new private key" - select "Key type JSON".
- Tick "Enable G Suite Domain-wide Delegation". This option makes
"impersonation" possible, as documented here:
[Delegating domain-wide authority to the service account](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount#delegatingauthority)
- These credentials are what rclone will use for authentication.
If you ever need to remove access, press the "Delete service
account key" button.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
##### 2. Allowing API access to example.com Google Drive #####
- Go to example.com's admin console
- Go into "Security" (or use the search bar)
- Select "Show more" and then "Advanced settings"
- Select "Manage API client access" in the "Authentication" section
- In the "Client Name" field enter the service account's
"Client ID" - this can be found in the Developer Console under
"IAM & Admin" -> "Service Accounts", then "View Client ID" for
the newly created service account.
It is a ~21 character numerical string.
- In the next field, "One or More API Scopes", enter
`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive`
to grant access to Google Drive specifically.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
##### 3. Configure rclone, assuming a new install #####
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
n/s/q> n # New name>gdrive # Gdrive is an example name Storage> # Select
the number shown for Google Drive client_id> # Can be left blank
client_secret> # Can be left blank scope> # Select your scope, 1 for
example root_folder_id> # Can be left blank service_account_file>
/home/foo/myJSONfile.json # This is where the JSON file goes! y/n> #
Auto config, y
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
##### 4. Verify that it's working #####
- `rclone -v --drive-impersonate foo@example.com lsf gdrive:backup`
- The arguments do:
- `-v` - verbose logging
- `--drive-impersonate foo@example.com` - this is what does
the magic, pretending to be user foo.
- `lsf` - list files in a parsing friendly way
- `gdrive:backup` - use the remote called gdrive, work in
the folder named backup.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note: in case you configured a specific root folder on gdrive and rclone is unable to access the contents of that folder when using `--drive-impersonate`, do this instead:
- in the gdrive web interface, share your root folder with the user/email of the new Service Account you created/selected at step #1
- use rclone without specifying the `--drive-impersonate` option, like this:
`rclone -v foo@example.com lsf gdrive:backup`
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Team drives ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you want to configure the remote to point to a Google Team Drive
then answer `y` to the question `Configure this as a team drive?`.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will fetch the list of Team Drives from google and allow you to
configure which one you want to use. You can also type in a team
drive ID if you prefer.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Configure this as a team drive? y) Yes n) No y/n> y Fetching team drive
list... Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Rclone
Test  "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 2 / Rclone Test 2  "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" 3
/ Rclone Test 3  "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Enter a Team Drive ID> 1
-------------------- [remote] client_id = client_secret = token =
{"AccessToken":"xxxx.x.xxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","RefreshToken":"1/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","Expiry":"2014-03-16T13:57:58.955387075Z","Extra":null}
team_drive = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------- y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### --fast-list ###
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
docs](https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It does this by combining multiple `list` calls into a single API request.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This works by combining many `'%s' in parents` filters into one expression.
To list the contents of directories a, b and c, the following requests will be send by the regular `List` function:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
trashed=false and 'a' in parents trashed=false and 'b' in parents
trashed=false and 'c' in parents
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
These can now be combined into a single request:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
trashed=false and ('a' in parents or 'b' in parents or 'c' in parents)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The implementation of `ListR` will put up to 50 `parents` filters into one request.
It will use the `--checkers` value to specify the number of requests to run in parallel.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In tests, these batch requests were up to 20x faster than the regular method.
Running the following command against different sized folders gives:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone lsjson -vv -R --checkers=6 gdrive:folder
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
small folder (220 directories, 700 files):
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- without `--fast-list`: 38s
- with `--fast-list`: 10s
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
large folder (10600 directories, 39000 files):
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- without `--fast-list`: 22:05 min
- with `--fast-list`: 58s
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Restricted filename characters
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Only Invalid UTF-8 bytes will be [replaced](https://rclone.org/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In contrast to other backends, `/` can also be used in names and `.`
or `..` are valid names.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Revisions ###
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google drive stores revisions of files. When you upload a change to
an existing file to google drive using rclone it will create a new
revision of that file.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing
was
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
* They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever comes first).
* They do not count towards a user storage quota.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Deleting files ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
By default rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting
files. If deleting them permanently is required then use the
`--drive-use-trash=false` flag, or set the equivalent environment
variable.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Shortcuts ###
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In March 2020 Google introduced a new feature in Google Drive called
[drive shortcuts](https://support.google.com/drive/answer/9700156)
([API](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/shortcuts)). These
will (by September 2020) [replace the ability for files or folders to
be in multiple folders at once](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/simplifying-google-drives-folder-structure-and-sharing-models).
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Shortcuts are files that link to other files on Google Drive somewhat
like a symlink in unix, except they point to the underlying file data
(eg the inode in unix terms) so they don't break if the source is
renamed or moved about.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Be default rclone treats these as follows.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For shortcuts pointing to files:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- When listing a file shortcut appears as the destination file.
- When downloading the contents of the destination file is downloaded.
- When updating shortcut file with a non shortcut file, the shortcut is removed then a new file is uploaded in place of the shortcut.
- When server side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the destination file.
- When server side copying the shortcut is copied, not the contents of the shortcut.
- When deleting the shortcut is deleted not the linked file.
- When setting the modification time, the modification time of the linked file will be set.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For shortcuts pointing to folders:

- When listing the shortcut appears as a folder and that folder will contain the contents of the linked folder appear (including any sub folders)
- When downloading the contents of the linked folder and sub contents are downloaded
- When uploading to a shortcut folder the file will be placed in the linked folder
- When server side moving (renaming) the shortcut is renamed, not the destination folder
- When server side copying the contents of the linked folder is copied, not the shortcut.
- When deleting with `rclone rmdir` or `rclone purge` the shortcut is deleted not the linked folder.
- **NB** When deleting with `rclone remove` or `rclone mount` the contents of the linked folder will be deleted.

### Emptying trash ###
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you wish to empty your trash you can use the `rclone cleanup remote:`
command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command
does not take any path arguments.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that Google Drive takes some time (minutes to days) to empty the
trash even though the command returns within a few seconds. No output
is echoed, so there will be no confirmation even using -v or -vv.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Quota information ###
To view your current quota you can use the `rclone about remote:`
command which will display your usage limit (quota), the usage in Google
Drive, the size of all files in the Trash and the space used by other
Google services such as Gmail. This command does not take any path
arguments.

#### Import/Export of google documents ####
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google documents can be exported from and uploaded to Google Drive.
When rclone downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download
depending upon the `--drive-export-formats` setting.
By default the export formats are `docx,xlsx,pptx,svg` which are a
sensible default for an editable document.
When choosing a format, rclone runs down the list provided in order
and chooses the first file format the doc can be exported as from the
list. If the file can't be exported to a format on the formats list,
then rclone will choose a format from the default list.
If you prefer an archive copy then you might use `--drive-export-formats
pdf`, or if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use
`--drive-export-formats ods,odt,odp`.
Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is
called `My Spreadsheet` on google docs, it will be exported as `My
Spreadsheet.xlsx` or `My Spreadsheet.pdf` etc.
When importing files into Google Drive, rclone will convert all
files with an extension in `--drive-import-formats` to their
associated document type.
rclone will not convert any files by default, since the conversion
is lossy process.
The conversion must result in a file with the same extension when
the `--drive-export-formats` rules are applied to the uploaded document.
Here are some examples for allowed and prohibited conversions.
| export-formats | import-formats | Upload Ext | Document Ext | Allowed |
| -------------- | -------------- | ---------- | ------------ | ------- |
| odt | odt | odt | odt | Yes |
| odt | docx,odt | odt | odt | Yes |
| | docx | docx | docx | Yes |
| | odt | odt | docx | No |
| odt,docx | docx,odt | docx | odt | No |
| docx,odt | docx,odt | docx | docx | Yes |
| docx,odt | docx,odt | odt | docx | No |
This limitation can be disabled by specifying `--drive-allow-import-name-change`.
When using this flag, rclone can convert multiple files types resulting
in the same document type at once, eg with `--drive-import-formats docx,odt,txt`,
all files having these extension would result in a document represented as a docx file.
This brings the additional risk of overwriting a document, if multiple files
have the same stem. Many rclone operations will not handle this name change
in any way. They assume an equal name when copying files and might copy the
file again or delete them when the name changes.
Here are the possible export extensions with their corresponding mime types.
Most of these can also be used for importing, but there more that are not
listed here. Some of these additional ones might only be available when
the operating system provides the correct MIME type entries.
This list can be changed by Google Drive at any time and might not
represent the currently available conversions.
| Extension | Mime Type | Description |
| --------- |-----------| ------------|
| csv | text/csv | Standard CSV format for Spreadsheets |
| docx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document | Microsoft Office Document |
| epub | application/epub+zip | E-book format |

| ods | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
| ods | application/x-vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
| odt | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text | Openoffice Document |
| pdf | application/pdf | Adobe PDF Format |
| png | image/png | PNG Image Format|
| pptx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation | Microsoft Office Powerpoint |
| rtf | application/rtf | Rich Text Format |
| svg | image/svg+xml | Scalable Vector Graphics Format |
| tsv | text/tab-separated-values | Standard TSV format for spreadsheets |
| txt | text/plain | Plain Text |
| xlsx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | Microsoft Office Spreadsheet |
| zip | application/zip | A ZIP file of HTML, Images CSS |
Google documents can also be exported as link files. These files will
open a browser window for the Google Docs website of that document
when opened. The link file extension has to be specified as a
`--drive-export-formats` parameter. They will match all available
Google Documents.
| Extension | Description | OS Support |
| --------- | ----------- | ---------- |
| desktop | freedesktop.org specified desktop entry | Linux |
| link.html | An HTML Document with a redirect | All |
| url | INI style link file | macOS, Windows |
| webloc | macOS specific XML format | macOS |

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When uploading to your drive all files will be overwritten unless they
haven't been modified since their creation. And the inverse will occur
while downloading. This side effect can be avoided by using the
"--checksum" flag.
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This feature was implemented to retain photos capture date as recorded
by google photos. You will first need to check the "Create a Google
Photos folder" option in your google drive settings. You can then copy
or move the photos locally and use the date the image was taken
(created) set as the modification date.

There is currently an unsolved issue with the google drive backend and
HTTP/2. HTTP/2 is therefore disabled by default for the drive backend
but can be re-enabled here. When the issue is solved this flag will
be removed.

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
At the time of writing it is only possible to upload 750GB of data to
Google Drive a day (this is an undocumented limit). When this limit is
reached Google Drive produces a slightly different error message. When
this flag is set it causes these errors to be fatal. These will stop
the in-progress sync.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that this detection is relying on error message strings which
Google don't document so it may break in the future.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This command creates shortcuts from files or directories.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Usage:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item destination_shortcut
rclone backend shortcut drive: source_item -o target=drive2: destination_shortcut
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In the first example this creates a shortcut from the "source_item"
which can be a file or a directory to the "destination_shortcut". The
"source_item" and the "destination_shortcut" should be relative paths
from "drive:"
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
In the second example this creates a shortcut from the "source_item"
relative to "drive:" to the "destination_shortcut" relative to

### Limitations ###
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Drive has quite a lot of rate limiting. This causes rclone to be
limited to transferring about 2 files per second only. Individual
files may be transferred much faster at 100s of MBytes/s but lots of
small files can take a long time.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Server side copies are also subject to a separate rate limit. If you
see User rate limit exceeded errors, wait at least 24 hours and retry.
You can disable server side copies with `--disable copy` to download
and upload the files if you prefer.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### Limitations of Google Docs ####
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google docs will appear as size -1 in `rclone ls` and as size 0 in
anything which uses the VFS layer, eg `rclone mount`, `rclone serve`.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is because rclone can't find out the size of the Google docs
without downloading them.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google docs will transfer correctly with `rclone sync`, `rclone copy`
etc as rclone knows to ignore the size when doing the transfer.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However an unfortunate consequence of this is that you may not be able
to download Google docs using `rclone mount`. If it doesn't work you
will get a 0 sized file. If you try again the doc may gain its
correct size and be downloadable. Whether it will work on not depends
on the application accessing the mount and the OS you are running -
experiment to find out if it does work for you!
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Duplicated files ###
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sometimes, for no reason I've been able to track down, drive will
duplicate a file that rclone uploads. Drive unlike all the other
remotes can have duplicated files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use `rclone dedupe` to fix duplicated files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that this isn't just a problem with rclone, even Google Photos on
Android duplicates files on drive sometimes.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Rclone appears to be re-copying files it shouldn't ###
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The most likely cause of this is the duplicated file issue above - run
`rclone dedupe` and check your logs for duplicate object or directory
messages.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This can also be caused by a delay/caching on google drive's end when
comparing directory listings. Specifically with team drives used in
combination with --fast-list. Files that were uploaded recently may
not appear on the directory list sent to rclone when using --fast-list.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Waiting a moderate period of time between attempts (estimated to be
approximately 1 hour) and/or not using --fast-list both seem to be
effective in preventing the problem.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00

### Making your own client_id ###
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When you use rclone with Google drive in its default configuration you
are using rclone's client_id. This is shared between all the rclone
users. There is a global rate limit on the number of queries per
second that each client_id can do set by Google. rclone already has a
high quota and I will continue to make sure it is high enough by
contacting Google.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is strongly recommended to use your own client ID as the default rclone ID is heavily used. If you have multiple services running, it is recommended to use an API key for each service. The default Google quota is 10 transactions per second so it is recommended to stay under that number as if you use more than that, it will cause rclone to rate limit and make things slower.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is how to create your own Google Drive client ID for rclone:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
1. Log into the [Google API
Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) with your Google
account. It doesn't matter what Google account you use. (It need not
be the same account as the Google Drive you want to access)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
2. Select a project or create a new project.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
3. Under "ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES" search for "Drive", and enable the
"Google Drive API".
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
4. Click "Credentials" in the left-side panel (not "Create
credentials", which opens the wizard), then "Create credentials"
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
5. If you already configured an "Oauth Consent Screen", then skip
to the next step; if not, click on "CONFIGURE CONSENT SCREEN" button
(near the top right corner of the right panel), then select "External"
and click on "CREATE"; on the next screen, enter an "Application name"
("rclone" is OK) then click on "Save" (all other data is optional).
Click again on "Credentials" on the left panel to go back to the
"Credentials" screen.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
(PS: if you are a GSuite user, you could also select "Internal" instead
of "External" above, but this has not been tested/documented so far).
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
6. Click on the "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" button at the top of the screen,
then select "OAuth client ID".
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
7. Choose an application type of "Desktop app" if you using a Google account or "Other" if
you using a GSuite account and click "Create". (the default name is fine)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
8. It will show you a client ID and client secret. Use these values
in rclone config to add a new remote or edit an existing remote.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Be aware that, due to the "enhanced security" recently introduced by
Google, you are theoretically expected to "submit your app for verification"
and then wait a few weeks(!) for their response; in practice, you can go right
ahead and use the client ID and client secret with rclone, the only issue will
be a very scary confirmation screen shown when you connect via your browser
for rclone to be able to get its token-id (but as this only happens during
the remote configuration, it's not such a big deal).
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
(Thanks to @balazer on github for these instructions.)
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Sometimes, creation of an OAuth consent in Google API Console fails due to an error message
“The request failed because changes to one of the field of the resource is not supported”.
As a convenient workaround, the necessary Google Drive API key can be created on the
[Python Quickstart](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python) page.
Just push the Enable the Drive API button to receive the Client ID and Secret.
Note that it will automatically create a new project in the API Console.

Google Photos
-------------------------------------------------
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The rclone backend for [Google Photos](https://www.google.com/photos/about/) is
a specialized backend for transferring photos and videos to and from
Google Photos.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
**NB** The Google Photos API which rclone uses has quite a few
limitations, so please read the [limitations section](#limitations)
carefully to make sure it is suitable for your use.

## Configuring Google Photos
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Photos
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
through it.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone config
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote s) Set configuration
password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to
configure. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Google
Photos  "google photos" [snip] Storage> google photos ** See help for
google photos backend at: https://rclone.org/googlephotos/ **
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Google Application Client Id Leave blank normally. Enter a string value.
Press Enter for the default (""). client_id> Google Application Client
Secret Leave blank normally. Enter a string value. Press Enter for the
default (""). client_secret> Set to make the Google Photos backend read
only.
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you choose read only then rclone will only request read only access
to your photos, otherwise rclone will request full access. Enter a
boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
read_only> Edit advanced config? (y/n) y) Yes n) No y/n> n Remote config
Use auto config? * Say Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a
remote or headless machine y) Yes n) No y/n> y If your browser doesn't
open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
Log in and authorize rclone for access Waiting for code... Got code
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
*** IMPORTANT: All media items uploaded to Google Photos with rclone ***
are stored in full resolution at original quality. These uploads ***
will count towards storage in your Google Account.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[remote] type = google photos token = {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"XXX","expiry":"2019-06-28T17:38:04.644930156+01:00"}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y ```
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual mode.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote is called remote and can now be used like this
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00

rclone sync -i /home/local/image remote:album/newAlbum
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Layout
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
As Google Photos is not a general purpose cloud storage system the backend is laid out to help you navigate it.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The directories under media show different ways of categorizing the media. Each file will appear multiple times. So if you want to make a backup of your google photos you might choose to backup remote:media/by-month. (NB remote:media/by-day is rather slow at the moment so avoid for syncing.)
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that all your photos and videos will appear somewhere under media, but they may not appear under album unless you've put them into albums.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are two writable parts of the tree, the upload directory and sub directories of the album directory.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The upload directory is for uploading files you don't want to put into albums. This will be empty to start with and will contain the files you've uploaded for one rclone session only, becoming empty again when you restart rclone. The use case for this would be if you have a load of files you just want to once off dump into Google Photos. For repeated syncing, uploading to album will work better.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Directories within the album directory are also writeable and you may create new directories (albums) under album. If you copy files with a directory hierarchy in there then rclone will create albums with the / character in them. For example if you do
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone copy /path/to/images remote:album/images
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
and the images directory contains
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
images - file1.jpg dir file2.jpg dir2 dir3 file3.jpg
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Then rclone will create the following albums with the following files in
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- images - file1.jpg - images/dir - file2.jpg - images/dir2/dir3 - file3.jpg
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that you can use the album path pretty much like a normal filesystem and it is a good target for repeated syncing.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The shared-album directory shows albums shared with you or by you. This is similar to the Sharing tab in the Google Photos web interface.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
## Limitations
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Only images and videos can be uploaded. If you attempt to upload non videos or images or formats that Google Photos doesn't understand, rclone will upload the file, then Google Photos will give an error when it is put turned into a media item.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that all media items uploaded to Google Photos through the API are stored in full resolution at "original quality" and WILL count towards your storage quota in your Google Account. The API does NOT offer a way to upload in "high quality" mode..
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Downloading Images
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When Images are downloaded this strips EXIF location (according to the docs and my tests). This is a limitation of the Google Photos API and is covered by bug #112096115.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
THE CURRENT GOOGLE API DOES NOT ALLOW PHOTOS TO BE DOWNLOADED AT ORIGINAL RESOLUTION. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE, FOR EXAMPLE, RELYING ON "GOOGLE PHOTOS" AS A BACKUP OF YOUR PHOTOS. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE RCLONE TO REDOWNLOAD ORIGINAL IMAGES. YOU COULD USE 'GOOGLE TAKEOUT' TO RECOVER THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS AS A LAST RESORT
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Downloading Videos
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
When videos are downloaded they are downloaded in a really compressed version of the video compared to downloading it via the Google Photos web interface. This is covered by bug #113672044.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Duplicates
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If a file name is duplicated in a directory then rclone will add the file ID into its name. So two files called file.jpg would then appear as file {123456}.jpg and file {ABCDEF}.jpg (the actual IDs are a lot longer alas!).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you upload the same image (with the same binary data) twice then Google Photos will deduplicate it. However it will retain the filename from the first upload which may confuse rclone. For example if you uploaded an image to upload then uploaded the same image to album/my_album the filename of the image in album/my_album will be what it was uploaded with initially, not what you uploaded it with to album. In practise this shouldn't cause
too many problems.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Modified time
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The date shown of media in Google Photos is the creation date as determined by the EXIF information, or the upload date if that is not known.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This is not changeable by rclone and is not the modification date of the media on local disk. This means that rclone cannot use the dates from Google Photos for syncing purposes.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Size
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The Google Photos API does not return the size of media. This means that when syncing to Google Photos, rclone can only do a file existence check.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
It is possible to read the size of the media, but this needs an extra HTTP HEAD request per media item so is VERY SLOW and uses up a lot of transactions. This can be enabled with the --gphotos-read-size option or the read_size = true config parameter.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you want to use the backend with rclone mount you may need to enable this flag (depending on your OS and application using the photos) otherwise you may not be able to read media off the mount. You'll need to experiment to see if it works for you without the flag.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Albums
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone can only upload files to albums it created. This is a limitation of the Google Photos API.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone can remove files it uploaded from albums it created only.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Deleting files
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone can remove files from albums it created, but note that the Google Photos API does not allow media to be deleted permanently so this media will still remain. See bug #109759781.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone cannot delete files anywhere except under album.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Deleting albums
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The Google Photos API does not support deleting albums - see bug #135714733.

Set to make the Google Photos backend read only.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you choose read only then rclone will only request read only access to your photos, otherwise rclone will request full access.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Config: read_only - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_READ_ONLY - Type: bool - Default: false
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
### Advanced Options
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Here are the advanced options specific to google photos (Google Photos).
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00

OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Config: token - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_TOKEN - Type: string - Default: ""
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### --gphotos-auth-url
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

#### --gphotos-read-size
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Set to read the size of media items.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Normally rclone does not read the size of media items since this takes another transaction. This isn't necessary for syncing. However rclone mount needs to know the size of files in advance of reading them, so setting this flag when using rclone mount is recommended if you want to read the media.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Config: read_size - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_READ_SIZE - Type: bool - Default: false
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
#### --gphotos-start-year
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Year limits the photos to be downloaded to those which are uploaded after the given year
- Config: start_year - Env Var: RCLONE_GPHOTOS_START_YEAR - Type: int - Default: 2000
HTTP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The HTTP remote is a read only remote for reading files of a webserver.
The webserver should provide file listings which rclone will read and
turn into a remote. This has been tested with common webservers such as
Apache/Nginx/Caddy and will likely work with file listings from most web
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
servers. (If it doesn't then please file an issue, or send a pull
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
request!)
Paths are specified as remote: or remote:path/to/dir.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i remote:directory /home/local/directory
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Read only
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This remote is read only - you can't upload files to an HTTP server.
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00

Usage without a config file
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Since the http remote only has one config parameter it is easy to use
without a config file:
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--http-url
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
URL of http host to connect to
- Config: url
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_URL
- Type: string
- Default: ""
- Examples:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- "https://example.com"
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

Advanced Options
Here are the advanced options specific to http (http Connection).
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--http-headers
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Set HTTP headers for all transactions
Use this to set additional HTTP headers for all transactions
The input format is comma separated list of key,value pairs. Standard
CSV encoding may be used.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example to set a Cookie use 'Cookie,name=value', or
'"Cookie","name=value"'.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
You can set multiple headers, eg
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
'"Cookie","name=value","Authorization","xxx"'.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
- Config: headers
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_HEADERS
- Type: CommaSepList
- Default:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--http-no-slash
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Set this if the site doesn't end directories with /
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Use this if your target website does not use / on the end of
directories.
A / on the end of a path is how rclone normally tells the difference
between files and directories. If this flag is set, then rclone will
treat all files with Content-Type: text/html as directories and read
URLs from them rather than downloading them.
Note that this may cause rclone to confuse genuine HTML files with
directories.
- Config: no_slash
- Env Var: RCLONE_HTTP_NO_SLASH
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--http-no-head
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't use HEAD requests to find file sizes in dir listing
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
If your site is being very slow to load then you can try this option.
Normally rclone does a HEAD request for each potential file in a
directory listing to:
- find its size
- check it really exists
- check to see if it is a directory
If you set this option, rclone will not do the HEAD request. This will
mean
- directory listings are much quicker
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- rclone won't have the times or sizes of any files

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The initial setup for Hubic involves getting a token from Hubic which
you need to do in your browser. rclone config walks you through it.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Hubic. This only runs from the moment it opens
your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is
on http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this it may require you to unblock it
temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
List containers in the top level of your Hubic
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
rclone lsd remote:
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00

rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
If you want the directory to be visible in the official _Hubic browser_,
you need to copy your files to the default directory
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:default/backup
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--fast-list
This remote supports --fast-list which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the rclone docs for more
details.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Modified time
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
X-Object-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
This is a de facto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Note that Hubic wraps the Swift backend, so most of the properties of
are the same.

--hubic-chunk-size
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container.
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The
default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.
- Config: chunk_size
- Env Var: RCLONE_HUBIC_CHUNK_SIZE
- Type: SizeSuffix
- Default: 5G
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--hubic-no-chunk
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't chunk files during streaming upload.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
When doing streaming uploads (eg using rcat or mount) setting this flag
will cause the swift backend to not upload chunked files.
This will limit the maximum upload size to 5GB. However non chunked
files are easier to deal with and have an MD5SUM.
Rclone will still chunk files bigger than chunk_size when doing normal
copy operations.
- Config: no_chunk
- Env Var: RCLONE_HUBIC_NO_CHUNK
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--hubic-encoding
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
This sets the encoding for the backend.
See: the encoding section in the overview for more info.
- Config: encoding
- Env Var: RCLONE_HUBIC_ENCODING
- Type: MultiEncoder
- Default: Slash,InvalidUtf8
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Limitations
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This uses the normal OpenStack Swift mechanism to refresh the Swift API
credentials and ignores the expires field returned by the Hubic API.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
MD5SUM for these.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00

Jottacloud
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Jottacloud is a cloud storage service provider from a Norwegian company,
using its own datacenters in Norway.
In addition to the official service at jottacloud.com, there are also
several whitelabel versions which should work with this backend.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Setup
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Default Setup
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
To configure Jottacloud you will need to generate a personal security
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
token in the Jottacloud web interface. You will the option to do in your
account security settings (for whitelabel version you need to find this
page in its web interface). Note that the web interface may refer to
this token as a JottaCli token.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Legacy Setup
If you are using one of the whitelabel versions (Elgiganten, Com Hem
Cloud) you may not have the option to generate a CLI token. In this case
you'll have to use the legacy authentification. To to this select yes
when the setup asks for legacy authentification and enter your username
and password. The rest of the setup is identical to the default setup.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote with the
default setup. First run:
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone config

2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Devices and Mountpoints
The official Jottacloud client registers a device for each computer you
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
install it on, and then creates a mountpoint for each folder you select
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
for Backup. The web interface uses a special device called Jotta for the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Archive and Sync mountpoints. In most cases you'll want to use the
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Jotta/Archive device/mountpoint, however if you want to access files
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
uploaded by any of the official clients rclone provides the option to
select other devices and mountpoints during config.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The built-in Jotta device may also contain several other mountpoints,
such as: Latest, Links, Shared and Trash. These are special mountpoints
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
with a different internal representation than the "regular" mountpoints.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Rclone will only to a very limited degree support them. Generally you
should avoid these, unless you know what you are doing.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--fast-list
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
This remote supports --fast-list which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the rclone docs for more
details.
Note that the implementation in Jottacloud always uses only a single API
request to get the entire list, so for large folders this could lead to
long wait time before the first results are shown.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Modified time and hashes
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Jottacloud allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Jottacloud supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the --checksum flag.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Note that Jottacloud requires the MD5 hash before upload so if the
source does not have an MD5 checksum then the file will be cached
temporarily on disk (wherever the TMPDIR environment variable points to)
before it is uploaded. Small files will be cached in memory - see the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--jottacloud-md5-memory-limit flag.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Restricted filename characters
In addition to the default restricted characters set the following
characters are also replaced:
Character Value Replacement
----------- ------- -------------

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in XML
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Deleting files
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
By default rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting files.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
They will be permanently deleted automatically after 30 days. You may
bypass the trash and permanently delete files immediately by using the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--jottacloud-hard-delete flag, or set the equivalent environment
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
variable. Emptying the trash is supported by the cleanup command.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Versions
Jottacloud supports file versioning. When rclone uploads a new version
of a file it creates a new version of it. Currently rclone only supports
retrieving the current version but older versions can be accessed via
the Jottacloud Website.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Limitations
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that Jottacloud is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are quite a few characters that can't be in Jottacloud file names.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Rclone will map these names to and from an identical looking unicode
equivalent. For example if a file has a ? in it will be mapped to
instead.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Jottacloud only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Troubleshooting
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Jottacloud exhibits some inconsistent behaviours regarding deleted files
and folders which may cause Copy, Move and DirMove operations to
previously deleted paths to fail. Emptying the trash should help in such
cases.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Koofr
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for Koofr involves creating an application password
for rclone. You can do that by opening the Koofr web application, giving
the password a nice name like rclone and clicking on generate.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called koofr. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n

Mail.ru Cloud
Mail.ru Cloud is a cloud storage provided by a Russian internet company
Mail.Ru Group. The official desktop client is Disk-O:, available only on
Windows. (Please note that official sites are in Russian)
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Currently it is recommended to disable 2FA on Mail.ru accounts intended
for rclone until it gets eventually implemented.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Features highlights
- Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
- Files have a last modified time property, directories don't
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
- Deleted files are by default moved to the trash
- Files and directories can be shared via public links
- Partial uploads or streaming are not supported, file size must be
known before upload
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- Maximum file size is limited to 2G for a free account, unlimited for
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
paid accounts
- Storage keeps hash for all files and performs transparent
deduplication, the hash algorithm is a modified SHA1
- If a particular file is already present in storage, one can quickly
submit file hash instead of long file upload (this optimization is
supported by rclone)
Configuration
Here is an example of making a mailru configuration. First create a
Mail.ru Cloud account and choose a tariff, then run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote

rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:directory
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Modified time
Files support a modification time attribute with up to 1 second
precision. Directories do not have a modification time, which is shown
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
as "Jan 1 1970".
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Hash checksums
Hash sums use a custom Mail.ru algorithm based on SHA1. If file size is
less than or equal to the SHA1 block size (20 bytes), its hash is simply
its data right-padded with zero bytes. Hash sum of a larger file is
computed as a SHA1 sum of the file data bytes concatenated with a
decimal representation of the data length.
Emptying Trash
Removing a file or directory actually moves it to the trash, which is
not visible to rclone but can be seen in a web browser. The trashed file
still occupies part of total quota. If you wish to empty your trash and
free some quota, you can use the rclone cleanup remote: command, which
will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command does not
take any path arguments.
Quota information
To view your current quota you can use the rclone about remote: command
which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage.
Restricted filename characters
In addition to the default restricted characters set the following
characters are also replaced:
Character Value Replacement
----------- ------- -------------
" 0x22
* 0x2A

< 0x3C
> 0x3E

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
Limitations
File size limits depend on your account. A single file size is limited
by 2G for a free account and unlimited for paid tariffs. Please refer to
the Mail.ru site for the total uploaded size limits.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that Mailru is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".

calculate content hash in advance and decide whether full upload is
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
required. Also, if rclone does not know file size in advance (e.g. in
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
case of streaming or partial uploads), it will not even try this
optimization.

Mega
Mega is a cloud storage and file hosting service known for its security
feature where all files are encrypted locally before they are uploaded.
This prevents anyone (including employees of Mega) from accessing the
files without knowledge of the key used for encryption.
This is an rclone backend for Mega which supports the file transfer
features of Mega using the same client side encryption.
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.

y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
NOTE: The encryption keys need to have been already generated after a
regular login via the browser, otherwise attempting to use the
credentials in rclone will fail.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
List directories in top level of your Mega
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your Mega
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to an Mega directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time and hashes
Mega does not support modification times or hashes yet.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Restricted filename characters
Character Value Replacement
----------- ------- -------------
NUL 0x00 ␀

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Duplicated files
Mega can have two files with exactly the same name and path (unlike a
normal file system).
Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see
messages in the log about duplicates.
Use rclone dedupe to fix duplicated files.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Failure to log-in
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Mega remotes seem to get blocked (reject logins) under "heavy use". We
haven't worked out the exact blocking rules but it seems to be related
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
to fast paced, successive rclone commands.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
For example, executing this command 90 times in a row
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone link remote:file will cause the remote to become "blocked". This
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
is not an abnormal situation, for example if you wish to get the public
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
links of a directory with hundred of files... After more or less a week,
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
the remote will remote accept rclone logins normally again.
You can mitigate this issue by mounting the remote it with rclone mount.
This will log-in when mounting and a log-out when unmounting only. You
can also run rclone rcd and then use rclone rc to run the commands over
the API to avoid logging in each time.
Rclone does not currently close mega sessions (you can see them in the
web interface), however closing the sessions does not solve the issue.
If you space rclone commands by 3 seconds it will avoid blocking the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
remote. We haven't identified the exact blocking rules, so perhaps one
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
could execute the command 80 times without waiting and avoid blocking by
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
waiting 3 seconds, then continuing...
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Note that this has been observed by trial and error and might not be set
in stone.
Other tools seem not to produce this blocking effect, as they use a
different working approach (state-based, using sessionIDs instead of
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
log-in) which isn't compatible with the current stateless rclone
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
approach.
Note that once blocked, the use of other tools (such as megacmd) is not
a sure workaround: following megacmd login times have been observed in
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
succession for blocked remote: 7 minutes, 20 min, 30min, 30 min, 30min.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Web access looks unaffected though.
Investigation is continuing in relation to workarounds based on
timeouts, pacers, retrials and tpslimits - if you discover something
relevant, please post on the forum.
So, if rclone was working nicely and suddenly you are unable to log-in
and you are sure the user and the password are correct, likely you have
got the remote blocked for a while.

Delete files permanently rather than putting them into the trash.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Normally the mega backend will put all deletions into the trash rather
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
than permanently deleting them. If you specify this then rclone will
permanently delete objects instead.

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Limitations
This backend uses the go-mega go library which is an opensource go
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
library implementing the Mega API. There doesn't appear to be any
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
documentation for the mega protocol beyond the mega C++ SDK source code
so there are likely quite a few errors still remaining in this library.
Mega allows duplicate files which may confuse rclone.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Memory
The memory backend is an in RAM backend. It does not persist its data -
use the local backend for that.
The memory backend behaves like a bucket based remote (eg like s3).
Because it has no parameters you can just use it with the :memory:
remote name.
You can configure it as a remote like this with rclone config too if you
want to:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
[snip]
XX / Memory
\ "memory"

y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Because the memory backend isn't persistent it is most useful for
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
testing or with an rclone server or rclone mount, eg
rclone mount :memory: /mnt/tmp
rclone serve webdav :memory:
rclone serve sftp :memory:
Modified time and hashes
The memory backend supports MD5 hashes and modification times accurate
to 1 nS.
Restricted filename characters
The memory backend replaces the default restricted characters set.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
Paths are specified as remote:container (or remote: for the lsd
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg
remote:container/path/to/dir.
Here is an example of making a Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
configuration. For a remote called remote. First run:

--fast-list
This remote supports --fast-list which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the rclone docs for more
details.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Modified time
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object with the mtime
key. It is stored using RFC3339 Format time with nanosecond precision.
The metadata is supplied during directory listings so there is no
overhead to using it.

2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
MD5 hashes are stored with blobs. However blobs that were uploaded in
chunks only have an MD5 if the source remote was capable of MD5 hashes,
eg the local disk.

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Authenticating with Azure Blob Storage
Rclone has 3 ways of authenticating with Azure Blob Storage:
Account and Key
This is the most straight forward and least flexible way. Just fill in
the account and key lines and leave the rest blank.
SAS URL
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This can be an account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
To use it leave account, key blank and fill in sas_url.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
An account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL can be obtained from
the Azure portal or the Azure Storage Explorer. To get a container level
SAS URL right click on a container in the Azure Blob explorer in the
Azure portal.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If you use a container level SAS URL, rclone operations are permitted
only on a particular container, eg
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone ls azureblob:container
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
You can also list the single container from the root. This will only
show the container specified by the SAS URL.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
$ rclone lsd azureblob:
container/
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that you can't see or access any other containers - this will fail
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
rclone ls azureblob:othercontainer
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Container level SAS URLs are useful for temporarily allowing third
parties access to a single container or putting credentials into an
untrusted environment such as a CI build server.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Multipart uploads
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Rclone supports multipart uploads with Azure Blob storage. Files bigger
than 256MB will be uploaded using chunked upload by default.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The files will be uploaded in parallel in 4MB chunks (by default). Note
that these chunks are buffered in memory and there may be up to
--transfers of them being uploaded at once.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Files can't be split into more than 50,000 chunks so by default, so the
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
largest file that can be uploaded with 4MB chunk size is 195GB. Above
this rclone will double the chunk size until it creates less than 50,000
chunks. By default this will mean a maximum file size of 3.2TB can be
uploaded. This can be raised to 5TB using --azureblob-chunk-size 100M.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that rclone doesn't commit the block list until the end of the
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
upload which means that there is a limit of 9.5TB of multipart uploads
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
in progress as Azure won't allow more than that amount of uncommitted
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
blocks.

This sets the number of blobs requested in each listing chunk. Default
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
is the maximum, 5000. "List blobs" requests are permitted 2 minutes per
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
megabyte to complete. If an operation is taking longer than 2 minutes
per megabyte on average, it will time out ( source ). This can be used
to limit the number of blobs items to return, to avoid the time out.

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Archived blobs can be restored by setting access tier to hot or cool.

account level
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If there is no "access tier" specified, rclone doesn't apply any tier.
rclone performs "Set Tier" operation on blobs while uploading, if
objects are not modified, specifying "access tier" to new one will have
no effect. If blobs are in "archive tier" at remote, trying to perform
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
data transfer operations from remote will not be allowed. User should
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
first restore by tiering blob to "Hot" or "Cool".

2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Normally rclone will calculate the MD5 checksum of the input before
uploading it so it can add it to metadata on the object. This is great
for data integrity checking but can cause long delays for large files to
start uploading.

Microsoft OneDrive
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for OneDrive involves getting a token from Microsoft
which you need to do in your browser. rclone config walks you through
it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Microsoft. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this it may require you to
unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00

Getting your own Client ID and Key
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
You can use your own Client ID if the default (client_id left blank) one
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
doesn't work for you or you see lots of throttling. The default Client
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
ID and Key is shared by all rclone users when performing requests.
If you are having problems with them (E.g., seeing a lot of throttling),
you can get your own Client ID and Key by following the steps below:
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
1. Open
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade
and then click New registration.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2. Enter a name for your app, choose account type
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox),
select Web in Redirect URI Enter http://localhost:53682/ and click
Register. Copy and keep the Application (client) ID under the app
name for later use.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
3. Under manage select Certificates & secrets, click New client secret.
Copy and keep that secret for later use.
4. Under manage select API permissions, click Add a permission and
select Microsoft Graph then select delegated permissions.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
5. Search and select the following permissions: Files.Read,
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Files.ReadWrite, Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All,
offline_access, User.Read. Once selected click Add permissions at
the bottom.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Now the application is complete. Run rclone config to create or edit a
OneDrive remote. Supply the app ID and password as Client ID and Secret,
respectively. rclone will walk you through the remaining steps.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Modification time and hashes
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
OneDrive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
OneDrive personal supports SHA1 type hashes. OneDrive for business and
Sharepoint Server support QuickXorHash.
For all types of OneDrive you can use the --checksum flag.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00

2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Deleting files
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Microsoft
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
doesn't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Microsoft's apps or via
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
the OneDrive website.

--onedrive-expose-onenote-files
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Set to make OneNote files show up in directory listings.
By default rclone will hide OneNote files in directory listings because
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
operations like "Open" and "Update" won't work on them. But this
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
behaviour may also prevent you from deleting them. If you want to delete
OneNote files or otherwise want them to show up in directory listing,
set this option.
- Config: expose_onenote_files

--onedrive-server-side-across-configs
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Allow server side operations (eg copy) to work across different onedrive
configs.
This can be useful if you wish to do a server side copy between two
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
different Onedrives. Note that this isn't enabled by default because it
isn't easy to tell if it will work between any two configurations.

--onedrive-no-versions
Remove all versions on modifying operations
Onedrive for business creates versions when rclone uploads new files
overwriting an existing one and when it sets the modification time.
These versions take up space out of the quota.
This flag checks for versions after file upload and setting modification
time and removes all but the last version.
NB Onedrive personal can't currently delete versions so don't use this
flag there.
- Config: no_versions
- Env Var: RCLONE_ONEDRIVE_NO_VERSIONS

--onedrive-encoding
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00

- Type: MultiEncoder
- Default:
Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Colon,Question,Asterisk,Pipe,Hash,Percent,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,LeftSpace,LeftTilde,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Limitations
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you don't use rclone for 90 days the refresh token will expire. This
will result in authorization problems. This is easy to fix by running
the rclone config reconnect remote: command to get a new token and
refresh token.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Naming
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that OneDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are quite a few characters that can't be in OneDrive file names.
These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows platforms
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an identical
looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a ? in it will be
mapped to instead.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
File sizes

The largest allowed file size is 100GB for both OneDrive Personal and
OneDrive for Business (Updated 17 June 2020).

Path length
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
The entire path, including the file name, must contain fewer than 400
characters for OneDrive, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online. If
you are encrypting file and folder names with rclone, you may want to
pay attention to this limitation because the encrypted names are
typically longer than the original ones.

Number of files
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
OneDrive seems to be OK with at least 50,000 files in a folder, but at
100,000 rclone will get errors listing the directory like
couldnt list files: UnknownError:. See #2707 for more info.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
An official document about the limitations for different types of
OneDrive can be found here.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Versions
Every change in a file OneDrive causes the service to create a new
version of the the file. This counts against a users quota. For example
changing the modification time of a file creates a second version, so
the file apparently uses twice the space.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
For example the copy command is affected by this as rclone copies the
file and then afterwards sets the modification time to match the source
file which uses another version.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You can use the rclone cleanup command (see below) to remove all old
versions.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Or you can set the no_versions parameter to true and rclone will remove
versions after operations which create new versions. This takes extra
transactions so only enable it if you need it.
NOTE At the time of writing Onedrive Personal creates versions (but not
for setting the modification time) but the API for removing them returns
"API not found" so cleanup and no_versions should not be used on
Onedrive Personal.
Disabling versioning
Starting October 2018, users will no longer be able to disable
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
versioning by default. This is because Microsoft has brought an update
to the mechanism. To change this new default setting, a PowerShell
command is required to be run by a SharePoint admin. If you are an
admin, you can run these commands in PowerShell to change that setting:
1. Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell (in case
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you haven't installed this already)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2. Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking
3. Connect-SPOService -Url https://YOURSITE-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential YOU@YOURSITE.COM
(replacing YOURSITE, YOU, YOURSITE.COM with the actual values; this
will prompt for your credentials)
4. Set-SPOTenant -EnableMinimumVersionRequirement $False
5. Disconnect-SPOService (to disconnect from the server)
_Below are the steps for normal users to disable versioning. If you
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
don't see the "No Versioning" option, make sure the above requirements
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
are met._
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
User Weropol has found a method to disable versioning on OneDrive
1. Open the settings menu by clicking on the gear symbol at the top of
the OneDrive Business page.
2. Click Site settings.
3. Once on the Site settings page, navigate to Site Administration >
Site libraries and lists.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
4. Click Customize "Documents".
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
5. Click General Settings > Versioning Settings.
6. Under Document Version History select the option No versioning.
Note: This will disable the creation of new file versions, but will
not remove any previous versions. Your documents are safe.
7. Apply the changes by clicking OK.
8. Use rclone to upload or modify files. (I also use the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--no-update-modtime flag)
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
9. Restore the versioning settings after using rclone. (Optional)
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Cleanup
OneDrive supports rclone cleanup which causes rclone to look through
every file under the path supplied and delete all version but the
current version. Because this involves traversing all the files, then
querying each file for versions it can be quite slow. Rclone does
--checkers tests in parallel. The command also supports -i which is a
great way to see what it would do.
rclone cleanup -i remote:path/subdir # interactively remove all old version for path/subdir
rclone cleanup remote:path/subdir # unconditionally remove all old version for path/subdir
NB Onedrive personal can't currently delete versions
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
Troubleshooting
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Unexpected file size/hash differences on Sharepoint
It is a known issue that Sharepoint (not OneDrive or OneDrive for
Business) silently modifies uploaded files, mainly Office files (.docx,
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
.xlsx, etc.), causing file size and hash checks to fail. There are also
other situations that will cause OneDrive to report inconsistent file
sizes. To use rclone with such affected files on Sharepoint, you may
disable these checks with the following command line arguments:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
--ignore-checksum --ignore-size
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Alternatively, if you have write access to the OneDrive files, it may be
possible to fix this problem for certain files, by attempting the steps
below. Open the web interface for OneDrive and find the affected files
(which will be in the error messages/log for rclone). Simply click on
each of these files, causing OneDrive to open them on the web. This will
cause each file to be converted in place to a format that is
functionally equivalent but which will no longer trigger the size
discrepancy. Once all problematic files are converted you will no longer
need the ignore options above.
Replacing/deleting existing files on Sharepoint gets "item not found"
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
It is a known issue that Sharepoint (not OneDrive or OneDrive for
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Business) may return "item not found" errors when users try to replace
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
or delete uploaded files; this seems to mainly affect Office files
(.docx, .xlsx, etc.). As a workaround, you may use the
--backup-dir <BACKUP_DIR> command line argument so rclone moves the
files to be replaced/deleted into a given backup directory (instead of
directly replacing/deleting them). For example, to instruct rclone to
move the files into the directory rclone-backup-dir on backend
mysharepoint, you may use:
--backup-dir mysharepoint:rclone-backup-dir
access_denied (AADSTS65005)
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
Error: access_denied
Code: AADSTS65005
Description: Using application 'rclone' is currently not supported for your organization [YOUR_ORGANIZATION] because it is in an unmanaged state. An administrator needs to claim ownership of the company by DNS validation of [YOUR_ORGANIZATION] before the application rclone can be provisioned.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that rclone can't use the OneDrive for Business API with your
account. You can't do much about it, maybe write an email to your
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
admins.
However, there are other ways to interact with your OneDrive account.
Have a look at the webdav backend: https://rclone.org/webdav/#sharepoint
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
invalid_grant (AADSTS50076)
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Error: invalid_grant
Code: AADSTS50076
Description: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access '...'.
If you see the error above after enabling multi-factor authentication
for your account, you can fix it by refreshing your OAuth refresh token.
To do that, run rclone config, and choose to edit your OneDrive backend.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Then, you don't need to actually make any changes until you reach this
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
question: Already have a token - refresh?. For this question, answer y
and go through the process to refresh your token, just like the first
time the backend is configured. After this, rclone should work again for
this backend.

Limitations
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that OpenDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
There are quite a few characters that can't be in OpenDrive file names.
These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows platforms
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an identical
looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a ? in it will be
mapped to instead.

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
rclone supports multipart uploads with QingStor which means that it can
upload files bigger than 5GB. Note that files uploaded with multipart
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
upload don't have an MD5SUM.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Note that incomplete multipart uploads older than 24 hours can be
removed with rclone cleanup remote:bucket just for one bucket
rclone cleanup remote: for all buckets. QingStor does not ever remove
incomplete multipart uploads so it may be necessary to run this from
time to time.

Buckets and Zone
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
With QingStor you can list buckets (rclone lsd) using any zone, but you
can only access the content of a bucket from the zone it was created in.
If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong zone, you will get an
error, incorrect zone, the bucket is not in 'XXX' zone.

There are two ways to supply rclone with a set of QingStor credentials.
In order of precedence:
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
- Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by
rclone config)
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
- set access_key_id and secret_access_key
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
- Runtime configuration:
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
- set env_auth to true in the config file
- Exporting the following environment variables before running
rclone
- Access Key ID: QS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or QS_ACCESS_KEY
- Secret Access Key: QS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or QS_SECRET_KEY

Configuration from an OpenStack credentials file
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
An OpenStack credentials file typically looks something something like
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
this (without the comments)
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://a.provider.net/v2.0
export OS_TENANT_ID=ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
export OS_TENANT_NAME="1234567890123456"
export OS_USERNAME="123abc567xy"
echo "Please enter your OpenStack Password: "
read -sr OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_PASSWORD=$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_REGION_NAME="SBG1"
if [ -z "$OS_REGION_NAME" ]; then unset OS_REGION_NAME; fi
The config file needs to look something like this where $OS_USERNAME
represents the value of the OS_USERNAME variable - 123abc567xy in the
example above.
[remote]
type = swift
user = $OS_USERNAME
key = $OS_PASSWORD
auth = $OS_AUTH_URL
tenant = $OS_TENANT_NAME
Note that you may (or may not) need to set region too - try without
first.
Configuration from the environment
If you prefer you can configure rclone to use swift using a standard set
of OpenStack environment variables.
When you run through the config, make sure you choose true for env_auth
and leave everything else blank.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
rclone will then set any empty config parameters from the environment
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
using standard OpenStack environment variables. There is a list of the
variables in the docs for the swift library.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Using an alternate authentication method
If your OpenStack installation uses a non-standard authentication method
that might not be yet supported by rclone or the underlying swift
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
library, you can authenticate externally (e.g. calling manually the
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
openstack commands to get a token). Then, you just need to pass the two
configuration variables auth_token and storage_url. If they are both
provided, the other variables are ignored. rclone will not try to
authenticate but instead assume it is already authenticated and use
these two variables to access the OpenStack installation.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Using rclone without a config file
You can use rclone with swift without a config file, if desired, like
this:
source openstack-credentials-file
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_TYPE=swift
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_ENV_AUTH=true
rclone lsd myremote:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--fast-list
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This remote supports --fast-list which allows you to use fewer
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the rclone docs for more
details.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--update and --use-server-modtime
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
As noted below, the modified time is stored on metadata on the object.
It is used by default for all operations that require checking the time
a file was last updated. It allows rclone to treat the remote more like
a true filesystem, but it is inefficient because it requires an extra
API call to retrieve the metadata.
For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the remote
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
is sufficient to determine if it is "dirty". By using --update along
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
with --use-server-modtime, you can avoid the extra API call and simply
upload files whose local modtime is newer than the time it was last
uploaded.

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--swift-chunk-size
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The
default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.

--swift-no-chunk
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't chunk files during streaming upload.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
When doing streaming uploads (eg using rcat or mount) setting this flag
will cause the swift backend to not upload chunked files.
This will limit the maximum upload size to 5GB. However non chunked
files are easier to deal with and have an MD5SUM.
Rclone will still chunk files bigger than chunk_size when doing normal
copy operations.
- Config: no_chunk

2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
Modified time
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Object-Meta-Mtime as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This is a de facto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.

strings.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Limitations
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
MD5SUM for these.
Troubleshooting
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone gives Failed to create file system for "remote:": Bad Request
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Due to an oddity of the underlying swift library, it gives a "Bad
Request" error rather than a more sensible error when the authentication
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
fails for Swift.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
So this most likely means your username / password is wrong. You can
investigate further with the --dump-bodies flag.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This may also be caused by specifying the region when you shouldn't have
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
(eg OVH).
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage url and auth token
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
This is most likely caused by forgetting to specify your tenant when
setting up a swift remote.
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
pCloud
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
The initial setup for pCloud involves getting a token from pCloud which
you need to do in your browser. rclone config walks you through it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n

y) Yes
n) No
y/n> y
If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
Log in and authorize rclone for access
Waiting for code...
Got code
--------------------
[remote]

token = {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"}
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
See the remote setup docs for how to set it up on a machine with no
Internet browser available.
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from pCloud. This only runs from the moment it opens
your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is
on http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this it may require you to unblock it
temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
List directories in top level of your pCloud
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your pCloud
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to an pCloud directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time and hashes
pCloud allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
not. In order to set a Modification time pCloud requires the object be
re-uploaded.
pCloud supports MD5 and SHA1 type hashes, so you can use the --checksum
flag.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Restricted filename characters
In addition to the default restricted characters set the following
characters are also replaced:
Character Value Replacement
----------- ------- -------------

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Deleting files
Deleted files will be moved to the trash. Your subscription level will
determine how long items stay in the trash. rclone cleanup can be used
to empty the trash.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Root folder ID
You can set the root_folder_id for rclone. This is the directory
(identified by its Folder ID) that rclone considers to be the root of
your pCloud drive.
Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the correct
root to use itself.
However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder
hierarchy.
In order to do this you will have to find the Folder ID of the directory
you wish rclone to display. This will be the folder field of the URL
when you open the relevant folder in the pCloud web interface.
So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like
https://my.pcloud.com/#page=filemanager&folder=5xxxxxxxx8&tpl=foldergrid
in the browser, then you use 5xxxxxxxx8 as the root_folder_id in the
config.

There are two distinct modes you can setup your remote: - you point your
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
remote to the ROOT OF THE SERVER, meaning you don't specify a library
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
during the configuration: Paths are specified as remote:library. You may
put subdirectories in too, eg remote:library/path/to/dir. - you point
your remote to a specific library during the configuration: Paths are
specified as remote:path/to/dir. THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED MODE WHEN USING
ENCRYPTED LIBRARIES. (_This mode is possibly slightly faster than the
root mode_)

Seafile and rclone link
Rclone supports generating share links for non-encrypted libraries only.
They can either be for a file or a directory:
rclone link seafile:seafile-tutorial.doc
http://my.seafile.server/f/fdcd8a2f93f84b8b90f4/
or if run on a directory you will get:
rclone link seafile:dir
http://my.seafile.server/d/9ea2455f6f55478bbb0d/
Please note a share link is unique for each file or directory. If you
run a link command on a file/dir that has already been shared, you will
get the exact same link.
Compatibility
It has been actively tested using the seafile docker image of these
versions: - 6.3.4 community edition - 7.0.5 community edition - 7.1.3
community edition
Versions below 6.0 are not supported. Versions between 6.0 and 6.3

SFTP
SFTP is the Secure (or SSH) File Transfer Protocol.
The SFTP backend can be used with a number of different providers:
- C14
- rsync.net
SFTP runs over SSH v2 and is installed as standard with most modern SSH
installations.
Paths are specified as remote:path. If the path does not begin with a /
it is relative to the home directory of the user. An empty path remote:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
refers to the user's home directory.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
"Note that some SFTP servers will need the leading / - Synology is a
good example of this. rsync.net, on the other hand, requires users to
OMIT the leading /.
Here is an example of making an SFTP configuration. First run
rclone config

This remote is called remote and can now be used like this:
See all directories in the home directory
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new directory
rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory
List the contents of a directory
rclone ls remote:path/to/directory
Sync /home/local/directory to the remote directory, deleting any excess
files in the directory.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:directory
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
SSH Authentication
The SFTP remote supports three authentication methods:
- Password
- Key file
- ssh-agent
Key files should be PEM-encoded private key files. For instance
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa. Only unencrypted OpenSSH or PEM encrypted files
are supported.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The key file can be specified in either an external file (key_file) or
contained within the rclone config file (key_pem). If using key_pem in
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the config file, the entry should be on a single line with new line (''
or '') separating lines. i.e.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
key_pem = -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----0gAMbMbaSsd-----END RSA PRIVATE
KEY-----
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
This will generate it correctly for key_pem for use in the config:
awk '{printf "%s\\n", $0}' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If you don't specify pass, key_file, or key_pem then rclone will attempt
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
to contact an ssh-agent.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
You can also specify key_use_agent to force the usage of an ssh-agent.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
In this case key_file or key_pem can also be specified to force the
usage of a specific key in the ssh-agent.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Using an ssh-agent is the only way to load encrypted OpenSSH keys at the
moment.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
If you set the --sftp-ask-password option, rclone will prompt for a
password when needed and no password has been configured.
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
ssh-agent on macOS
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Note that there seem to be various problems with using an ssh-agent on
macOS due to recent changes in the OS. The most effective work-around
seems to be to start an ssh-agent in each session, eg
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
eval `ssh-agent -s` && ssh-add -A
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
And then at the end of the session
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
eval `ssh-agent -k`
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
These commands can be used in scripts of course.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Modified time
Modified times are stored on the server to 1 second precision.
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported.
Some SFTP servers disable setting/modifying the file modification time
after upload (for example, certain configurations of ProFTPd with
mod_sftp). If you are using one of these servers, you can set the option
set_modtime = false in your RClone backend configuration to disable this
behaviour.

2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
read and only the associated key is requested from the ssh-agent. This
allows to avoid Too many authentication failures for *username* errors
when the ssh-agent contains many keys.

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Limitations
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and md5sum or
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
sha1sum as well as echo are in the remote's PATH. This remote
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
checksumming (file hashing) is recommended and enabled by default.
Disabling the checksumming may be required if you are connecting to SFTP
servers which are not under your control, and to which the execution of
remote commands is prohibited. Set the configuration option
disable_hashcheck to true to disable checksumming.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
SFTP also supports about if the same login has shell access and df are
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
in the remote's PATH. about will return the total space, free space, and
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
used space on the remote for the disk of the specified path on the
remote or, if not set, the disk of the root on the remote. about will
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
fail if it does not have shell access or if df is not in the remote's
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
PATH.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Note that some SFTP servers (eg Synology) the paths are different for
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
SSH and SFTP so the hashes can't be calculated properly. For them using
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
disable_hashcheck is a good idea.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The only ssh agent supported under Windows is Putty's pageant.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
The Go SSH library disables the use of the aes128-cbc cipher by default,
due to security concerns. This can be re-enabled on a per-connection
basis by setting the use_insecure_cipher setting in the configuration
file to true. Further details on the insecurity of this cipher can be
found [in this paper] (http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/SandPfinal.pdf).
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
SFTP isn't supported under plan9 until this issue is fixed.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that since SFTP isn't HTTP based the following flags don't work
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
with it: --dump-headers, --dump-bodies, --dump-auth
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that --timeout isn't supported (but --contimeout is).
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
C14
C14 is supported through the SFTP backend.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
See C14's documentation
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
rsync.net
rsync.net is supported through the SFTP backend.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

SugarSync
SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of
files across computers and other devices for file backup, access,
syncing, and sharing.
The initial setup for SugarSync involves getting a token from SugarSync
which you can do with rclone. rclone config walks you through it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n

password:
--------------------
[remote]
type = sugarsync
refresh_token = https://api.sugarsync.com/app-authorization/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Note that the config asks for your email and password but doesn't store
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
them, it only uses them to get the initial token.
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
List directories (sync folders) in top level of your SugarSync
rclone lsd remote:
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
List all the files in your SugarSync folder "Test"
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
rclone ls remote:Test
To copy a local directory to an SugarSync folder called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
NB you can't create files in the top level folder you have to create a
folder, which rclone will create as a "Sync Folder" with SugarSync.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
Modified time and hashes
SugarSync does not support modification times or hashes, therefore
syncing will default to --size-only checking. Note that using --update
will work as rclone can read the time files were uploaded.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Restricted filename characters
SugarSync replaces the default restricted characters set except for DEL.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in XML
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
strings.
Deleting files
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Deleted files will be moved to the "Deleted items" folder by default.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
However you can supply the flag --sugarsync-hard-delete or set the
config parameter hard_delete = true if you would like files to be
deleted straight away.

Usage
Paths are specified as remote:bucket (or remote: for the lsf command.)
You may put subdirectories in too, eg remote:bucket/path/to/dir.
Once configured you can then use rclone like this.
Create a new bucket
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Use the mkdir command to create new bucket, e.g. bucket.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
List all buckets
Use the lsf command to list all buckets.
rclone lsf remote:
Note the colon (:) character at the end of the command line.
Delete a bucket
Use the rmdir command to delete an empty bucket.
rclone rmdir remote:bucket
Use the purge command to delete a non-empty bucket with all its content.
rclone purge remote:bucket
Upload objects
Use the copy command to upload an object.
rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/file.ext remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you don't need this information.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Use a folder in the local path to upload all its objects.
rclone copy --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
Only modified files will be copied.
List objects
Use the ls command to list recursively all objects in a bucket.
rclone ls remote:bucket
Add the folder to the remote path to list recursively all objects in
this folder.
rclone ls remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
Use the lsf command to list non-recursively all objects in a bucket or a
folder.
rclone lsf remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
Download objects
Use the copy command to download an object.
rclone copy --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/file.ext /home/local/directory/
The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you don't need this information.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Use a folder in the remote path to download all its objects.
rclone copy --progress remote:bucket/path/to/dir/ /home/local/directory/
Delete objects
Use the deletefile command to delete a single object.
rclone deletefile remote:bucket/path/to/dir/file.ext
Use the delete command to delete all object in a folder.
rclone delete remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
Print the total size of objects
Use the size command to print the total size of objects in a bucket or a
folder.
rclone size remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
Sync two Locations
Use the sync command to sync the source to the destination, changing the
destination only, deleting any excess files.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i --progress /home/local/directory/ remote:bucket/path/to/dir/
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The --progress flag is for displaying progress information. Remove it if
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
you don't need this information.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run flag to
see exactly what would be copied and deleted.
The sync can be done also from Tardigrade to the local file system.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Or between two Tardigrade buckets.

Union
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The union remote provides a unification similar to UnionFS using other
remotes.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Paths may be as deep as required or a local path, eg
remote:directory/subdirectory or /directory/subdirectory.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
During the initial setup with rclone config you will specify the
upstream remotes as a space separated list. The upstream remotes can
either be a local paths or other remotes.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Attribute :ro and :nc can be attach to the end of path to tag the remote
as READ ONLY or NO CREATE, eg remote:directory/subdirectory:ro or
remote:directory/subdirectory:nc.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Subfolders can be used in upstream remotes. Assume a union remote named
backup with the remotes mydrive:private/backup. Invoking
rclone mkdir backup:desktop is exactly the same as invoking
rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/desktop.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
There will be no special handling of paths containing .. segments.
Invoking rclone mkdir backup:../desktop is exactly the same as invoking
rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/../desktop.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Behavior / Policies
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The behavior of union backend is inspired by trapexit/mergerfs. All
functions are grouped into 3 categories: ACTION, CREATE and SEARCH.
These functions and categories can be assigned a policy which dictates
what file or directory is chosen when performing that behavior. Any
policy can be assigned to a function or category though some may not be
very useful in practice. For instance: RAND (random) may be useful for
file creation (create) but could lead to very odd behavior if used for
delete if there were more than one copy of the file.

Path Preservation
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Policies, as described below, are of two basic types. path preserving
and non-path preserving.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
All policies which start with ep (EPFF, EPLFS, EPLUS, EPMFS, EPRAND) are
path preserving. ep stands for existing path.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
A path preserving policy will only consider upstreams where the relative
path being accessed already exists.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
When using non-path preserving policies paths will be created in target
upstreams as necessary.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Quota Relevant Policies
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Some policies rely on quota information. These policies should be used
only if your upstreams support the respective quota fields.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Policy Required Field
------------ ----------------
lfs, eplfs Free
mfs, epmfs Free
lus, eplus Used
lno, eplno Objects
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
To check if your upstream supports the field, run
rclone about remote: [flags] and see if the required field exists.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Filters
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Policies basically search upstream remotes and create a list of files /
paths for functions to work on. The policy is responsible for filtering
and sorting. The policy type defines the sorting but filtering is mostly
uniform as described below.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
- No SEARCH policies filter.
- All ACTION policies will filter out remotes which are tagged as
READ-ONLY.
- All CREATE policies will filter out remotes which are tagged
READ-ONLY or NO-CREATE.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
If all remotes are filtered an error will be returned.
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Policy descriptions
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
The policies definition are inspired by trapexit/mergerfs but not
exactly the same. Some policy definition could be different due to the
much larger latency of remote file systems.

WebDAV
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
To configure the WebDAV remote you will need to have a URL for it, and a
username and password. If you know what kind of system you are
connecting to then rclone can enable extra features.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

Modified time and hashes
Plain WebDAV does not support modified times. However when used with
Owncloud or Nextcloud rclone will support modified times.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Likewise plain WebDAV does not support hashes, however when used with
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
Owncloud or Nextcloud rclone will support SHA1 and MD5 hashes. Depending
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
on the exact version of Owncloud or Nextcloud hashes may appear on all
objects, or only on objects which had a hash uploaded with them.

Provider notes
See below for notes on specific providers.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
Owncloud
Click on the settings cog in the bottom right of the page and this will
show the WebDAV URL that rclone needs in the config step. It will look
something like https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/.
Owncloud supports modified times using the X-OC-Mtime header.
Nextcloud
This is configured in an identical way to Owncloud. Note that Nextcloud
does not support streaming of files (rcat) whereas Owncloud does. This
may be fixed in the future.
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Sharepoint
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
Rclone can be used with Sharepoint provided by OneDrive for Business or
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
Office365 Education Accounts. This feature is only needed for a few of
these Accounts, mostly Office365 Education ones. These accounts are
sometimes not verified by the domain owner github#1975
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that these accounts can't be added using the official API
(other Accounts should work with the "onedrive" option). However, it is
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
possible to access them using webdav.
To use a sharepoint remote with rclone, add it like this: First, you
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
need to get your remote's URL:
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
- Go here to open your OneDrive or to sign in
- Now take a look at your address bar, the URL should look like this:
https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
You'll only need this URL up to the email address. After that, you'll
most likely want to add "/Documents". That subdirectory contains the
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
actual data stored on your OneDrive.
Add the remote to rclone like this: Configure the url as
https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
and use your normal account email and password for user and pass. If you
have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app password. Set the vendor
to sharepoint.
Your config file should look like this:
[sharepoint]
type = webdav
url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
vendor = other
user = YourEmailAddress
pass = encryptedpassword
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Required Flags for SharePoint
As SharePoint does some special things with uploaded documents, you
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
won't be able to use the documents size or the documents hash to compare
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
if a file has been changed since the upload / which file is newer.
For Rclone calls copying files (especially Office files such as .docx,
.xlsx, etc.) from/to SharePoint (like copy, sync, etc.), you should
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
append these flags to ensure Rclone uses the "Last Modified" datetime
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
property to compare your documents:
--ignore-size --ignore-checksum --update
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
dCache
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
dCache is a storage system that supports many protocols and
authentication/authorisation schemes. For WebDAV clients, it allows
users to authenticate with username and password (BASIC), X.509,
Kerberos, and various bearer tokens, including Macaroons and
OpenID-Connect access tokens.
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Configure as normal using the other type. Don't enter a username or
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
password, instead enter your Macaroon as the bearer_token.
The config will end up looking something like this.
[dcache]
type = webdav
url = https://dcache...
vendor = other
user =
pass =
bearer_token = your-macaroon
There is a script that obtains a Macaroon from a dCache WebDAV endpoint,
and creates an rclone config file.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Macaroons may also be obtained from the dCacheView
web-browser/JavaScript client that comes with dCache.
OpenID-Connect
dCache also supports authenticating with OpenID-Connect access tokens.
OpenID-Connect is a protocol (based on OAuth 2.0) that allows services
to identify users who have authenticated with some central service.
Support for OpenID-Connect in rclone is currently achieved using another
software package called oidc-agent. This is a command-line tool that
facilitates obtaining an access token. Once installed and configured, an
access token is obtained by running the oidc-token command. The
following example shows a (shortened) access token obtained from the
_XDC_ OIDC Provider.
paul@celebrimbor:~$ oidc-token XDC
eyJraWQ[...]QFXDt0
paul@celebrimbor:~$
NOTE Before the oidc-token command will work, the refresh token must be
loaded into the oidc agent. This is done with the oidc-add command
(e.g., oidc-add XDC). This is typically done once per login session.
Full details on this and how to register oidc-agent with your OIDC
Provider are provided in the oidc-agent documentation.
The rclone bearer_token_command configuration option is used to fetch
the access token from oidc-agent.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Configure as a normal WebDAV endpoint, using the 'other' vendor, leaving
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
the username and password empty. When prompted, choose to edit the
advanced config and enter the command to get a bearer token (e.g.,
oidc-agent XDC).
The following example config shows a WebDAV endpoint that uses
oidc-agent to supply an access token from the _XDC_ OIDC Provider.
[dcache]
type = webdav
url = https://dcache.example.org/
vendor = other
bearer_token_command = oidc-token XDC

Internet browser available.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
token as returned from Yandex Disk. This only runs from the moment it
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
This is on http://127.0.0.1:53682/ and this it may require you to
unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

Emptying Trash
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
If you wish to empty your trash you can use the rclone cleanup remote:
command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This
command does not take any path arguments.
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00

To view your current quota you can use the rclone about remote: command
which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage.
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Restricted filename characters
The default restricted characters set are replaced.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be used in JSON
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
strings.
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Limitations
When uploading very large files (bigger than about 5GB) you will need to
increase the --timeout parameter. This is because Yandex pauses (perhaps
to calculate the MD5SUM for the entire file) before returning
confirmation that the file has been uploaded. The default handling of
timeouts in rclone is to assume a 5 minute pause is an error and close
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
the connection - you'll see net/http: timeout awaiting response headers
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
errors in the logs if this is happening. Setting the timeout to twice
the max size of file in GB should be enough, so if you want to upload a
30GB file set a timeout of 2 * 30 = 60m, that is --timeout 60m.

These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake, but
it is probably easier not to.
Modified time
Rclone reads and writes the modified time using an accuracy determined
by the OS. Typically this is 1ns on Linux, 10 ns on Windows and 1 Second
on OS X.
Filenames
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Filenames should be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the normal case
for Windows and OS X.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
There is a bit more uncertainty in the Linux world, but new
distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files names. If you are using an
old Linux filesystem with non UTF-8 file names (eg latin1) then you can
use the convmv tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8. This tool is
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
available in most distributions' package managers.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid characters will
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
be replaced with a quoted representation of the invalid bytes. The name
gro\xdf will be transferred as groDF. rclone will emit a debug message
in this case (use -v to see), eg
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
Restricted characters
On non Windows platforms the following characters are replaced when
handling file names.

File names on Windows can also not end with the following characters.
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
These only get replaced if they are the last character in the name:
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00

----------- ------- -------------
SP 0x20 ␠

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can't be converted to
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
UTF-16.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Long paths on Windows
Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to long
UNC paths which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.
This is why you will see that your paths, for instance c:\files is
converted to the UNC path \\?\c:\files in the output, and \\server\share
is converted to \\?\UNC\server\share.
However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file system
drivers like EncFS. To disable UNC conversion globally, add this to your
.rclone.conf file:
[local]
nounc = true
If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate
entry like this:
[nounc]
type = local
nounc = true
And use rclone like this:
rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst
This will use UNC paths on c:\src but not on z:\dst. Of course this will
cause problems if the absolute path length of a file exceeds 258
characters on z, so only use this option if you have to.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Symlinks / Junction points
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
If you supply --copy-links or -L then rclone will follow the symlink and
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
copy the pointed to file or directory. Note that this flag is
incompatible with -links / -l.
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
This flag applies to all commands.
For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this
$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── b -> ../b
├── expected -> ../expected
├── one
└── two
└── three
Then you can see the difference with and without the flag like this
$ rclone ls /tmp/a
6 one
6 two/three
and
$ rclone -L ls /tmp/a
4174 expected
6 one
6 two/three
6 b/two
6 b/one
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--links, -l
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave
like symlinks under Windows).
If you supply this flag then rclone will copy symbolic links from the
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
local storage, and store them as text files, with a '.rclonelink' suffix
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
in the remote storage.
The text file will contain the target of the symbolic link (see
example).
This flag applies to all commands.
For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this
$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── file1 -> ./file4
└── file2 -> /home/user/file3
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Copying the entire directory with '-l'
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
$ rclone copyto -l /tmp/a/file1 remote:/tmp/a/
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
The remote files are created with a '.rclonelink' suffix
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
$ rclone ls remote:/tmp/a
5 file1.rclonelink
14 file2.rclonelink
The remote files will contain the target of the symbolic links
$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file1.rclonelink
./file4
$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file2.rclonelink
/home/user/file3
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Copying them back with '-l'
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
$ rclone copyto -l remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1 -> ./file4
└── file2 -> /home/user/file3
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
However, if copied back without '-l'
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
$ rclone copyto remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1.rclonelink
└── file2.rclonelink
Note that this flag is incompatible with -copy-links / -L.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Restricting filesystems with --one-file-system
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Normally rclone will recurse through filesystems as mounted.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
However if you set --one-file-system or -x this tells rclone to stay in
the filesystem specified by the root and not to recurse into different
file systems.
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
For example if you have a directory hierarchy like this
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
root
├── disk1 - disk1 mounted on the root
│   └── file3 - stored on disk1
├── disk2 - disk2 mounted on the root
│   └── file4 - stored on disk12
├── file1 - stored on the root disk
└── file2 - stored on the root disk
Using rclone --one-file-system copy root remote: will only copy file1
and file2. Eg
$ rclone -q --one-file-system ls root
0 file1
0 file2
$ rclone -q ls root
0 disk1/file3
0 disk2/file4
0 file1
0 file2
NB Rclone (like most unix tools such as du, rsync and tar) treats a bind
mount to the same device as being on the same filesystem.
NB This flag is only available on Unix based systems. On systems where
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
it isn't supported (eg Windows) it will be ignored.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--copy-links / -L
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Follow symlinks and copy the pointed to item.
- Config: copy_links
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_COPY_LINKS
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--links / -l
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Translate symlinks to/from regular files with a '.rclonelink' extension
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
- Config: links
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_LINKS

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--skip-links
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't warn about skipped symlinks. This flag disables warning messages
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
on skipped symlinks or junction points, as you explicitly acknowledge
that they should be skipped.
- Config: skip_links
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_SKIP_LINKS
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--local-no-unicode-normalization
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't apply unicode normalization to paths and filenames (Deprecated)
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
This flag is deprecated now. Rclone no longer normalizes unicode file
names, but it compares them with unicode normalization in the sync
routine instead.
- Config: no_unicode_normalization
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_UNICODE_NORMALIZATION
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--local-no-check-updated
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't check to see if the files change during upload
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
Normally rclone checks the size and modification time of files as they
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
are being uploaded and aborts with a message which starts "can't copy -
source file is being updated" if the file changes during upload.
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
However on some file systems this modification time check may fail (eg
Glusterfs #2206) so this check can be disabled with this flag.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
If this flag is set, rclone will use its best efforts to transfer a file
which is being updated. If the file is only having things appended to it
(eg a log) then rclone will transfer the log file with the size it had
the first time rclone saw it.
If the file is being modified throughout (not just appended to) then the
transfer may fail with a hash check failure.
In detail, once the file has had stat() called on it for the first time
we:
- Only transfer the size that stat gave
- Only checksum the size that stat gave
- Don't update the stat info for the file
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
- Config: no_check_updated
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_CHECK_UPDATED
- Type: bool

--one-file-system / -x
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Don't cross filesystem boundaries (unix/macOS only).
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
- Config: one_file_system
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ONE_FILE_SYSTEM

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--local-case-sensitive
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Force the filesystem to report itself as case sensitive.
Normally the local backend declares itself as case insensitive on
Windows/macOS and case sensitive for everything else. Use this flag to
override the default choice.
- Config: case_sensitive
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_SENSITIVE
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00

Normally the local backend declares itself as case insensitive on
Windows/macOS and case sensitive for everything else. Use this flag to
override the default choice.
- Config: case_insensitive
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_CASE_INSENSITIVE

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--local-no-sparse
2020-05-27 17:11:47 +02:00
Disable sparse files for multi-thread downloads
On Windows platforms rclone will make sparse files when doing
multi-thread downloads. This avoids long pauses on large files where the
OS zeros the file. However sparse files may be undesirable as they cause
disk fragmentation and can be slow to work with.
- Config: no_sparse
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SPARSE
- Type: bool
- Default: false
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
--local-no-set-modtime
Disable setting modtime
Normally rclone updates modification time of files after they are done
uploading. This can cause permissions issues on Linux platforms when the
user rclone is running as does not own the file uploaded, such as when
copying to a CIFS mount owned by another user. If this option is
enabled, rclone will no longer update the modtime after copying a file.
- Config: no_set_modtime
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_NO_SET_MODTIME
- Type: bool
- Default: false
--local-encoding
2020-02-01 11:31:42 +01:00
This sets the encoding for the backend.
See: the encoding section in the overview for more info.
- Config: encoding
- Env Var: RCLONE_LOCAL_ENCODING
- Type: MultiEncoder
- Default: Slash,Dot

2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Directory timestamps aren't preserved
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This is
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Currently rclone loads each directory/bucket entirely into memory before
using it. Since each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this can take
a very long time and use a large amount of memory.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based remotes
(e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate subdirectories
within the bucket.
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
Bucket based remotes and folders
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Bucket based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of
2019-08-26 16:25:20 +02:00
directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which
means that empty directories on a bucket based remote will tend to
disappear.
Some software creates empty keys ending in / as directory markers.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more objects and costs
more. This ability may be added in the future (probably via a
flag/option).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands
Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg sync, copy etc) will work on
all the remote storage systems.
Can I copy the config from one machine to another
Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want to
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
find this file, run rclone config file which will tell you where it is.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
See the remote setup docs for more info.
How do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser?
This has now been documented in its own remote setup page.
Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3
Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.
Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so the
node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.
The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).
Eg
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
rclone sync -i drive:Folder s3:bucket
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time
You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose
different subdirectory for the output, eg
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Server A> rclone sync -i /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
Server B> rclone sync -i /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
otherwise the two instances of rclone may delete each other's files, eg
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Server A> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
Server B> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be different
in this case, otherwise some file systems (eg Drive) may make
duplicates.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Why doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync?
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Rclone stores each file you transfer as a native object on the remote
cloud storage system. This means that you can see the files you upload
as expected using alternative access methods (eg using the Google Drive
web interface). There is a 1:1 mapping between files on your hard disk
and objects created in the cloud storage system.
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Cloud storage systems (at least none I've come across yet) don't support
partially uploading an object. You can't take an existing object, and
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
change some bytes in the middle of it.
It would be possible to make a sync system which stored binary diffs
instead of whole objects like rclone does, but that would break the 1:1
mapping of files on your hard disk to objects in the remote cloud
storage system.
All the cloud storage systems support partial downloads of content, so
it would be possible to make partial downloads work. However to make
this work efficiently this would require storing a significant amount of
metadata, which breaks the desired 1:1 mapping of files to objects.
Can rclone do bi-directional sync?
No, not at present. rclone only does uni-directional sync from A -> B.
It may do in the future though since it has all the primitives - it just
requires writing the algorithm to do it.
Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
Yes. rclone will follow the standard environment variables for proxies,
similar to cURL and other programs.
In general the variables are called http_proxy (for services reached
over http) and https_proxy (for services reached over https). Most
public services will be using https, but you may wish to set both.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
The content of the variable is protocol://server:port. The protocol
value is the one used to talk to the proxy server, itself, and is
commonly either http or socks5.
Slightly annoyingly, there is no _standard_ for the name; some
applications may use http_proxy but another one HTTP_PROXY. The Go
libraries used by rclone will try both variations, but you may wish to
set all possibilities. So, on Linux, you may end up with code similar to
export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:12345
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
The NO_PROXY allows you to disable the proxy for specific hosts. Hosts
must be comma separated, and can contain domains or parts. For instance
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
"foo.com" also matches "bar.foo.com".
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
e.g.
export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,my.host.name
export NO_PROXY=$no_proxy
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
Note that the ftp backend does not support ftp_proxy yet.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
This means that rclone can't file the SSL root certificates. Likely you
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
are running rclone on a NAS with a cut-down Linux OS, or possibly on
Solaris.
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from
these places on Linux.
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", // Fedora/RHEL
"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem", // OpenSUSE
"/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem", // OpenELEC
So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the
time which is important for SSL to work properly.
mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs/
curl -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
The two environment variables SSL_CERT_FILE and SSL_CERT_DIR, mentioned
2019-10-04 22:17:54 +02:00
in the x509 package, provide an additional way to provide the SSL root
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
certificates.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
Note that you may need to add the --insecure option to the curl command
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
line if it doesn't work without.
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
Rclone gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error
Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not
supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.
See the system requirements section in the go install docs for full
details.
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
All my uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip
This is caused by uploading these files from a Windows computer which
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
hasn't got the Microsoft Office suite installed. The easiest way to fix
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
is to install the Word viewer and the Microsoft Office Compatibility
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 and later versions' file
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
formats
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
tcp lookup some.domain.com no such host
This happens when rclone cannot resolve a domain. Please check that your
DNS setup is generally working, e.g.
# both should print a long list of possible IP addresses
dig www.googleapis.com # resolve using your default DNS
dig www.googleapis.com @8.8.8.8 # resolve with Google's DNS server
If you are using systemd-resolved (default on Arch Linux), ensure it is
at version 233 or higher. Previous releases contain a bug which causes
not all domains to be resolved properly.
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
Additionally with the GODEBUG=netdns= environment variable the Go
resolver decision can be influenced. This also allows to resolve certain
issues with DNS resolution. See the name resolution section in the go
docs.
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
The total size reported in the stats for a sync is wrong and keeps changing
It is likely you have more than 10,000 files that need to be synced. By
default rclone only gets 10,000 files ahead in a sync so as not to use
2020-09-02 17:59:04 +02:00
up too much memory. You can change this default with the --max-backlog
2019-04-13 12:01:58 +02:00
flag.
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
Rclone is using too much memory or appears to have a memory leak
Rclone is written in Go which uses a garbage collector. The default
settings for the garbage collector mean that it runs when the heap size
has doubled.
However it is possible to tune the garbage collector to use less memory
by setting GOGC to a lower value, say export GOGC=20. This will make the
garbage collector work harder, reducing memory size at the expense of
CPU usage.
The most common cause of rclone using lots of memory is a single
directory with thousands or millions of files in. Rclone has to load
2019-10-26 12:04:54 +02:00
this entirely into memory as rclone objects. Each rclone object takes
2019-06-15 13:01:29 +02:00
0.5k-1k of memory.
