<h2 id="configure">Configure</h2>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>First, you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file. (See the <code>--config</code> entry for how to find the config file and choose its location.)</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config option:</p>

<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
<p>Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.</p>
<p>Its syntax is like this</p>
<pre><code>Syntax: [options] subcommand &lt;parameters&gt; &lt;parameters...&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the storage system in the config file then the sub path, eg &quot;drive:myfolder&quot; to look at &quot;myfolder&quot; in Google drive.</p>
<p>You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.</p>
<h2 id="subcommands">Subcommands</h2>
<p>rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:path # lists a re
rclone copy /local/path remote:path # copies /local/path to the remote
rclone sync /local/path remote:path # syncs /local/path to the remote</code></pre>

2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Enter an interactive configuration session where you can setup new remotes and manage existing ones. You may also set or remove a password to protect your configuration.</p>

<h2 id="rclone-copy">rclone copy</h2>
<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-1">Synopsis</h3>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Copy the source to the destination. Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files from the destination.</p>
<p>Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath</code></pre>
<p>Let's say there are two files in sourcepath</p>
<pre><code>sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>This copies them to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>Not to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>If you are familiar with <code>rsync</code>, rclone always works as if you had written a trailing / - meaning &quot;copy the contents of this directory&quot;. This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the source or destination.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>See the <a href="/docs/#no-traverse">--no-traverse</a> option for controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this option when copying a small number of files into a large destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>
<p>For example, if you have many files in /path/to/src but only a few of them change every day, you can to copy all the files which have changed recently very efficiently like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/src remote:</code></pre>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer statistics</p>

<h3 id="synopsis-2">Synopsis</h3>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only. Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting files if necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the <code>--dry-run</code> flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.</p>
<p>Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any errors at any point.</p>
<p>It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See extended explanation in the <code>copy</code> command above if unsure.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>

<h2 id="rclone-move">rclone move</h2>
<p>Move files from source to dest.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-3">Synopsis</h3>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and the remote does not support a server side directory move operation.</p>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<p>If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move <code>source:path</code> into <code>dest:path</code>. After this <code>source:path</code> will no longer longer exist.</p>
<p>Otherwise for each file in <code>source:path</code> selected by the filters (if any) this will move it into <code>dest:path</code>. If possible a server side move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible) into <code>dest:path</code> then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in <code>source:path</code>.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the --delete-empty-src-dirs flag.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>See the <a href="/docs/#no-traverse">--no-traverse</a> option for controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this option when moving a small number of files into a large destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>

<p>Remove the files in path. Unlike <code>purge</code> it obeys include/exclude filters so can be used to selectively delete files.</p>
<p><code>rclone delete</code> only deletes objects but leaves the directory structure alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use <code>rclone purge</code></p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes</p>
<p>Check what would be deleted first (use either)</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>Then delete</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>That reads &quot;delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB&quot;, hence delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.</p>

<h3 id="synopsis-8">Synopsis</h3>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares sizes and hashes (MD5 or SHA1) and logs a report of files which don't match. It doesn't alter the source or destination.</p>
<p>If you supply the --size-only flag, it will only compare the sizes not the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.</p>
<p>If you supply the --download flag, it will download the data from both remotes and check them against each other on the fly. This can be useful for remotes that don't support hashes or if you really want to check all the data.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<p>If you supply the --one-way flag, it will only check that files in source match the files in destination, not the other way around. Meaning extra files in destination that are not in the source will not trigger an error.</p>

<p>Interactively find duplicate files and delete/rename them.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-17">Synopsis</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>By default <code>dedupe</code> interactively finds duplicate files and offers to delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.</p>
<p>In the first pass it will merge directories with the same name. It will do this iteratively until all the identical directories have been merged.</p>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<p>The <code>dedupe</code> command will delete all but one of any identical (same md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most duplicated files the <code>dedupe</code> command will not be interactive. You can use <code>--dry-run</code> to see what would happen without doing anything.</p>
<p>Here is an example run.</p>
<p>Before - with duplicates</p>

<p>Create a new remote of <name> with <type> and options. The options should be passed in in pairs of <key> <value>.</p>
<p>For example to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto config you would do:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true</code></pre>

<p>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.</p>

2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
<p>For it to work the underlying remote of the cryptedremote must support some kind of checksum.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Use it like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all the files in remote:path.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<p>If you supply the --one-way flag, it will only check that files in source match the files in destination, not the other way around. Meaning extra files in destination that are not in the source will not trigger an error.</p>

<p>List directories and objects in remote:path formatted for parsing</p>

<h3 id="synopsis-44">Synopsis</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf swift:bucket
bevajer5jef
canole
diwogej7
ferejej3gux/
fubuwic</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Use the --format option to control what gets listed. By default this is just the path, but you can use these parameters to control the output:</p>
<pre><code>p - path
s - size
t - modification time
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
h - hash
i - ID of object if known
m - MimeType of object if known</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>So if you wanted the path, size and modification time, you would use --format &quot;pst&quot;, or maybe --format &quot;tsp&quot; to put the path last.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsf --format &quot;tsp&quot; swift:bucket

2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>If you specify &quot;h&quot; in the format you will get the MD5 hash by default, use the &quot;--hash&quot; 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), &quot;ERROR&quot; if there was an error reading it from the object and &quot;UNSUPPORTED&quot; if that object does not support that hash type.</p>
<p>For example to emulate the md5sum command you can use</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf -R --hash MD5 --format hp --separator &quot; &quot; --files-only .</code></pre>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00

<p>(Though &quot;rclone md5sum .&quot; is an easier way of typing this.)</p>
<p>By default the separator is &quot;;&quot; this can be changed with the --separator flag. Note that separators aren't escaped in the path so putting it last is a good strategy.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00

<p>Note that the --absolute parameter is useful for making lists of files to pass to an rclone copy with the --files-from flag.</p>
<p>For example to find all the files modified within one day and copy those only (without traversing the whole directory structure):</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsf --absolute --files-only --max-age 1d /path/to/local &gt; new_files

<p>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 (&quot;2017-05-31T16:15:57.034+01:00&quot;) whereas if the times are accurate to the nearest second (Dropbox, Box, WebDav etc) no digits will be shown (&quot;2017-05-31T16:15:57+01:00&quot;).</p>

<h3 id="synopsis-46">Synopsis</h3>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows to mount any of Rclone's cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.</p>
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
<p>First set up your remote using <code>rclone config</code>. Check it works with <code>rclone ls</code> etc.</p>
<p>Start the mount like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Or on Windows like this where X: is an unused drive letter</p>
<pre><code>rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:</code></pre>
<p>When the program ends, either via Ctrl+C or receiving a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, the mount is automatically stopped.</p>
<p>The umount operation can fail, for example when the mountpoint is busy. When that happens, it is the user's responsibility to stop the mount manually with</p>
<pre><code># Linux
fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
# OS X
umount /path/to/local/mount</code></pre>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="installing-on-windows">Installing on Windows</h3>
<p>To run rclone mount on Windows, you will need to download and install <a href="http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/">WinFsp</a>.</p>
<p>WinFsp is an <a href="https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp">open source</a> 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 <a href="https://github.com/billziss-gh/cgofuse">cgofuse</a>. Both of these packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the implementation of rclone mount for Windows.</p>
<h4 id="windows-caveats">Windows caveats</h4>
<p>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.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>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 <a href="https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/wiki/WinFsp-Service-Architecture">the WinFsp.Launcher infrastructure</a>) which creates drives accessible for everyone on the system or alternatively using <a href="https://nssm.cc/usage">the nssm service manager</a>.</p>
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
<h3 id="limitations">Limitations</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Without the use of &quot;--vfs-cache-mode&quot; this can only write files sequentially, it can only seek when reading. This means that many applications won't work with their files on an rclone mount without &quot;--vfs-cache-mode writes&quot; or &quot;--vfs-cache-mode full&quot;. See the <a href="#file-caching">File Caching</a> section for more info.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>The bucket based remotes (eg Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2, Hubic) won't work from the root - you will need to specify a bucket, or a path within the bucket. So <code>swift:</code> won't work whereas <code>swift:bucket</code> will as will <code>swift:bucket/path</code>. None of these support the concept of directories, so empty directories will have a tendency to disappear once they fall out of the directory cache.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows at the moment.</p>
2016-08-24 23:58:24 +02:00
<h3 id="rclone-mount-vs-rclone-synccopy">rclone mount vs rclone sync/copy</h3>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>File systems expect things to be 100% reliable, whereas cloud storage systems are a long way from 100% reliable. The rclone sync/copy commands cope with this with lots of retries. However rclone mount can't use retries in the same way without making local copies of the uploads. Look at the <a href="#file-caching">file caching</a> for solutions to make mount more reliable.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h3 id="attribute-caching">Attribute caching</h3>
<p>You can use the flag --attr-timeout to set the time the kernel caches the attributes (size, modification time etc) for directory entries.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>The default is &quot;1s&quot; which caches files just long enough to avoid too many callbacks to rclone from the kernel.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2157">rclone using too much memory</a>, <a href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-1-39-vs-1-40-mount-issue/5112">rclone not serving files to samba</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2095#issuecomment-371141147">excessive time listing directories</a>.</p>
<p>The kernel can cache the info about a file for the time given by &quot;--attr-timeout&quot;. You may see corruption if the remote file changes length during this window. It will show up as either a truncated file or a file with garbage on the end. With &quot;--attr-timeout 1s&quot; this is very unlikely but not impossible. The higher you set &quot;--attr-timeout&quot; the more likely it is. The default setting of &quot;1s&quot; is the lowest setting which mitigates the problems above.</p>
<p>If you set it higher ('10s' or '1m' say) then the kernel will call back to rclone less often making it more efficient, however there is more chance of the corruption issue above.</p>
<p>If files don't change on the remote outside of the control of rclone then there is no chance of corruption.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>This is the same as setting the attr_timeout option in mount.fuse.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="filters">Filters</h3>
<p>Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of the files to be visible in the mount.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="systemd">systemd</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<h3 id="chunked-reading">chunked reading</h3>
<p>--vfs-read-chunk-size will enable reading the source objects in parts. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>With --vfs-read-chunk-size 100M and --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 0 the following parts will be downloaded: 0-100M, 100M-200M, 200M-300M, 300M-400M and so on. When --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 500M is specified, the result would be 0-100M, 100M-300M, 300M-700M, 700M-1200M, 1200M-1700M and so on.</p>
<p>Chunked reading will only work with --vfs-cache-mode &lt; full, as the file will always be copied to the vfs cache before opening with --vfs-cache-mode full.</p>
<h3 id="directory-cache">Directory Cache</h3>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can set how long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend. Changes made locally in the mount may appear immediately or invalidate the cache. However, changes done on the remote will only be picked up once the cache expires.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> 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:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="file-buffering">File Buffering</h3>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory, that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file descriptor will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one file descriptor and won't be shared between multiple open file descriptors of the same file.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per file descriptor. 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 <code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="file-caching">File Caching</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. The VFS layer is used by rclone mount to make a cloud storage system work more like a normal file system.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>You'll need to enable VFS caching if you want, for example, to read and write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache works in addition to the cache backend and you may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default &quot;off&quot;)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size int Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)</code></pre>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> 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 <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed so if rclone is quit or dies with open files then these won't get written back to the remote. However they will still be in the on disk cache.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted from the cache.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00

<p>If source:path is a file or directory then it moves it to a file or directory named dest:path.</p>
<p>This can be used to rename files or upload single files to other than their existing name. If the source is a directory then it acts exacty like the move command.</p>
<p>So</p>
<pre><code>rclone moveto src dst</code></pre>
<p>where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local or C:.</p>
<p>This will:</p>
<pre><code>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</code></pre>
<p>This doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. src will be deleted on successful transfer.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run flag.</p>

<p>rclone rcat reads from standard input (stdin) and copies it to a single remote file.</p>

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>If the remote file already exists, it will be overwritten.</p>
<p>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 <code>--streaming-upload-cutoff</code>. 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.</p>
<p>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 data, you're better off caching locally and then <code>rclone move</code> it to the destination.</p>

2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<h3 id="synopsis-55">Synopsis</h3>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>rclone serve dlna is a DLNA media server for media stored in a rclone 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="directory-cache-1">Directory Cache</h3>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can set how long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend. Changes made locally in the mount may appear immediately or invalidate the cache. However, changes done on the remote will only be picked up once the cache expires.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> 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:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h3 id="file-buffering-1">File Buffering</h3>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory, that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file descriptor will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one file descriptor and won't be shared between multiple open file descriptors of the same file.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per file descriptor. 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 <code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h3 id="file-caching-1">File Caching</h3>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. The VFS layer is used by rclone mount to make a cloud storage system work more like a normal file system.</p>
<p>You'll need to enable VFS caching if you want, for example, to read and write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache works in addition to the cache backend and you may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default &quot;off&quot;)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size int Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)</code></pre>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> 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 <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed so if rclone is quit or dies with open files then these won't get written back to the remote. However they will still be in the on disk cache.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted from the cache.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-1">--vfs-cache-mode off</h4>
<p>In this mode the cache will read directly from the remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>

<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied</li>

</ul>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-1">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h4>
<p>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.</p>

<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-1">--vfs-cache-mode full</h4>

<h2 id="rclone-serve-ftp">rclone serve ftp</h2>
<p>Serve remote:path over FTP.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-56">Synopsis</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="server-options-1">Server options</h3>
<p>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 default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an available port.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4 id="authentication">Authentication</h4>
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can set a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.</p>
<h3 id="directory-cache-2">Directory Cache</h3>
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can set how long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend. Changes made locally in the mount may appear immediately or invalidate the cache. However, changes done on the remote will only be picked up once the cache expires.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> 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:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
<h3 id="file-buffering-2">File Buffering</h3>
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory, that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file descriptor will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one file descriptor and won't be shared between multiple open file descriptors of the same file.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per file descriptor. 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 <code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
<h3 id="file-caching-2">File Caching</h3>
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. The VFS layer is used by rclone mount to make a cloud storage system work more like a normal file system.</p>
<p>You'll need to enable VFS caching if you want, for example, to read and write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache works in addition to the cache backend and you may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default &quot;off&quot;)
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size int Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)</code></pre>
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> 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 <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed so if rclone is quit or dies with open files then these won't get written back to the remote. However they will still be in the on disk cache.</p>
<p>If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted from the cache.</p>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-2">--vfs-cache-mode off</h4>
<p>In this mode the cache will read directly from the remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-2">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h4>
<p>This is very similar to &quot;off&quot; except that files opened for read AND write will be buffered to disks. This means that files opened for write will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-2">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried up to --low-level-retries times.</p>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-2">--vfs-cache-mode full</h4>
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When a file is opened for read it will be downloaded in its entirety first.</p>
<p>This may be appropriate for your needs, or you may prefer to look at the cache backend which does a much more sophisticated job of caching, including caching directory hierarchies and chunks of files.</p>
<p>In this mode, unlike the others, when a file is written to the disk, it will be kept on the disk after it is written to the remote. It will be purged on a schedule according to <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code>.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload or download fails it will be retried up to --low-level-retries times.</p>

<p>rclone serve restic implements restic's REST backend API over HTTP. This allows restic to use rclone as a data storage mechanism for cloud providers that restic does not support directly.</p>
<p><a href="https://restic.net/">Restic</a> is a command line program for doing backups.</p>
<p>The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.</p>
<p>--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to control the stats printing.</p>
<h3 id="setting-up-rclone-for-use-by-restic">Setting up rclone for use by restic</h3>
<p>First <a href="/docs/#configure">set up a remote for your chosen cloud provider</a>.</p>
<p>Once you have set up the remote, check it is working with, for example &quot;rclone lsd remote:&quot;. You may have called the remote something other than &quot;remote:&quot; - just substitute whatever you called it in the following instructions.</p>
<p>Now start the rclone restic server</p>
<pre><code>rclone serve restic -v remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>Where you can replace &quot;backup&quot; in the above by whatever path in the remote you wish to use.</p>
<p>By default this will serve on &quot;localhost:8080&quot; you can change this with use of the &quot;--addr&quot; flag.</p>
<p>You might wish to start this server on boot.</p>
<h3 id="setting-up-restic-to-use-rclone">Setting up restic to use rclone</h3>
<p>Now you can <a href="http://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#rest-server">follow the restic instructions</a> on setting up restic.</p>
<p>Note that you will need restic 0.8.2 or later to interoperate with rclone.</p>
<p>For the example above you will want to use &quot;http://localhost:8080/&quot; as the URL for the REST server.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code>$ 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]
scanned 189 directories, 312 files in 0:00

<h4 id="multiple-repositories">Multiple repositories</h4>
<p>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 <strong>must</strong> end with /. Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user1repo/
# backup user1 stuff

2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="synopsis-59">Synopsis</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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 client or you can make a remote of type webdav to read and write it.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="webdav-options">Webdav options</h3>
<h4 id="etag-hash">--etag-hash</h4>
<p>This controls the ETag header. Without this flag the ETag will be based on the ModTime and Size of the object.</p>
<p>If this flag is set to &quot;auto&quot; then rclone will choose the first supported hash on the backend or you can use a named hash such as &quot;MD5&quot; or &quot;SHA-1&quot;.</p>
<p>Use &quot;rclone hashsum&quot; to see the full list.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="server-options-4">Server options</h3>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>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 default it only listens on localhost. You can use port :0 to let the OS choose an available port.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to control the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time for a transfer.</p>
<p>--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will accept in the HTTP header.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h4 id="authentication-3">Authentication</h4>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>By default this will serve files without needing a login.</p>
<p>You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or set a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.</p>
<p>Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.</p>
<p>To create an htpasswd file:</p>
<pre><code>touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser</code></pre>
<p>The password file can be updated while rclone is running.</p>
<p>Use --realm to set the authentication realm.</p>
<h4 id="ssltls-2">SSL/TLS</h4>
<p>By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over 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.</p>
<p>--cert should be a 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.</p>

<h3 id="directory-cache-4">Directory Cache</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Using the <code>--dir-cache-time</code> flag, you can set how long a directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the backend. Changes made locally in the mount may appear immediately or invalidate the cache. However, changes done on the remote will only be picked up once the cache expires.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can send a <code>SIGHUP</code> 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:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then you can use rclone rc to flush the whole directory cache:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>Or individual files or directories:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=path/to/file dir=path/to/dir</code></pre>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="file-buffering-4">File Buffering</h3>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>The <code>--buffer-size</code> flag determines the amount of memory, that will be used to buffer data in advance.</p>
<p>Each open file descriptor will try to keep the specified amount of data in memory at all times. The buffered data is bound to one file descriptor and won't be shared between multiple open file descriptors of the same file.</p>
<p>This flag is a upper limit for the used memory per file descriptor. 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 <code>--buffer-size * open files</code>.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="file-caching-4">File Caching</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>These flags control the VFS file caching options. The VFS layer is used by rclone mount to make a cloud storage system work more like a normal file system.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>You'll need to enable VFS caching if you want, for example, to read and write simultaneously to a file. See below for more details.</p>
<p>Note that the VFS cache works in addition to the cache backend and you may find that you need one or the other or both.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<pre><code>--cache-dir string Directory rclone will use for caching.
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
--vfs-cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--vfs-cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default &quot;off&quot;)
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
--vfs-cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
--vfs-cache-max-size int Max total size of objects in the cache. (default off)</code></pre>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If run with <code>-vv</code> 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 <code>--cache-dir</code> or setting the appropriate environment variable.</p>
<p>The cache has 4 different modes selected by <code>--vfs-cache-mode</code>. The higher the cache mode the more compatible rclone becomes at the cost of using disk space.</p>
<p>Note that files are written back to the remote only when they are closed so if rclone is quit or dies with open files then these won't get written back to the remote. However they will still be in the on disk cache.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>If using --vfs-cache-max-size note that the cache may exceed this size for two reasons. Firstly because it is only checked every --vfs-cache-poll-interval. Secondly because open files cannot be evicted from the cache.</p>
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-off-4">--vfs-cache-mode off</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>In this mode the cache will read directly from the remote and write directly to the remote without caching anything on disk.</p>
<p>This will mean some operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files can't be opened for both read AND write</li>
<li>Files opened for write can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files open for read with O_TRUNC will be opened write only</li>
<li>Files open for write only will behave as if O_TRUNC was supplied</li>
<li>Open modes O_APPEND, O_TRUNC are ignored</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-minimal-4">--vfs-cache-mode minimal</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>This is very similar to &quot;off&quot; except that files opened for read AND write will be buffered to disks. This means that files opened for write will be a lot more compatible, but uses the minimal disk space.</p>
<p>These operations are not possible</p>
<ul>
<li>Files opened for write only can't be seeked</li>
<li>Existing files opened for write must have O_TRUNC set</li>
<li>Files opened for write only will ignore O_APPEND, O_TRUNC</li>
<li>If an upload fails it can't be retried</li>
</ul>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-writes-4">--vfs-cache-mode writes</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload fails it will be retried up to --low-level-retries times.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h4 id="vfs-cache-mode-full-4">--vfs-cache-mode full</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>In this mode all reads and writes are buffered to and from disk. When a file is opened for read it will be downloaded in its entirety first.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>This may be appropriate for your needs, or you may prefer to look at the cache backend which does a much more sophisticated job of caching, including caching directory hierarchies and chunks of files.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>In this mode, unlike the others, when a file is written to the disk, it will be kept on the disk after it is written to the remote. It will be purged on a schedule according to <code>--vfs-cache-max-age</code>.</p>
<p>This mode should support all normal file system operations.</p>
<p>If an upload or download fails it will be retried up to --low-level-retries times.</p>

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>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.</p>
<p>Note that, certain tier chages make objects not available to access 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</p>
<p>You can use it to tier single object</p>
<pre><code>rclone settier Cool remote:path/file</code></pre>
<p>Or use rclone filters to set tier on only specific files</p>

<h2 id="copying-single-files">Copying single files</h2>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>rclone normally syncs or copies directories. However, if the source remote points to a file, rclone will just copy that file. The destination remote must point to a directory - rclone will give the error <code>Failed to create file system for &quot;remote:file&quot;: is a file not a directory</code> if it isn't.</p>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<p>For example, suppose you have a remote with a file in called <code>test.jpg</code>, then you could copy just that file like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy remote:test.jpg /tmp/download</code></pre>
<p>The file <code>test.jpg</code> will be placed inside <code>/tmp/download</code>.</p>
<p>This is equivalent to specifying</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from /tmp/files remote: /tmp/download</code></pre>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<p>Where <code>/tmp/files</code> contains the single line</p>
<pre><code>test.jpg</code></pre>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>It is recommended to use <code>copy</code> when copying individual files, not <code>sync</code>. They have pretty much the same effect but <code>copy</code> will use a lot less memory.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h2 id="syntax-of-remote-paths">Syntax of remote paths</h2>
<p>The syntax of the paths passed to the rclone command are as follows.</p>
<h3 id="pathtodir">/path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This refers to the local file system.</p>
<p>On Windows only <code>\</code> may be used instead of <code>/</code> in local paths <strong>only</strong>, non local paths must use <code>/</code>.</p>
<p>These paths needn't start with a leading <code>/</code> - if they don't then they will be relative to the current directory.</p>
<h3 id="remotepathtodir">remote:path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This refers to a directory <code>path/to/dir</code> on <code>remote:</code> as defined in the config file (configured with <code>rclone config</code>).</p>
<h3 id="remotepathtodir-1">remote:/path/to/dir</h3>
<p>On most backends this is refers to the same directory as <code>remote:path/to/dir</code> 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 <code>/</code> will refer to your &quot;home&quot; directory and paths with a leading <code>/</code> will refer to the root.</p>
<h3 id="backendpathtodir">:backend:path/to/dir</h3>
<p>This is an advanced form for creating remotes on the fly. <code>backend</code> should be the name or prefix of a backend (the <code>type</code> in the config file) and all the configuration for the backend should be provided on the command line (or in environment variables).</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd --http-url https://pub.rclone.org :http:</code></pre>
<p>Which lists all the directories in <code>pub.rclone.org</code>.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<h2 id="quoting-and-the-shell">Quoting and the shell</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some gotchas which may help users unfamiliar with the shell rules</p>
<h3 id="linux-osx">Linux / OSX</h3>
<p>If your names have spaces or shell metacharacters (eg <code>*</code>, <code>?</code>, <code>$</code>, <code>'</code>, <code>&quot;</code> etc) then you must quote them. Use single quotes <code>'</code> by default.</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &#39;Important files?&#39; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>If you want to send a <code>'</code> you will need to use <code>&quot;</code>, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;O&#39;Reilly Reviews&quot; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>The rules for quoting metacharacters are complicated and if you want the full details you'll have to consult the manual page for your shell.</p>
<h3 id="windows">Windows</h3>
<p>If your names have spaces in you need to put them in <code>&quot;</code>, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy &quot;E:\folder name\folder name\folder name&quot; remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>If you are using the root directory on its own then don't quote it (see <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/464">#464</a> for why), eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy E:\ remote:backup</code></pre>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<h2 id="copying-files-or-directories-with-in-the-names">Copying files or directories with <code>:</code> in the names</h2>
<p>rclone uses <code>:</code> 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 <code>:</code> up to the first <code>/</code> so if you need to act on a file or directory like this then use the full path starting with a <code>/</code>, or use <code>./</code> as a current directory prefix.</p>
<p>So to sync a directory called <code>sync:me</code> to a remote called <code>remote:</code> use</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync ./sync:me remote:path</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /full/path/to/sync:me remote:path</code></pre>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h2 id="server-side-copy">Server Side Copy</h2>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Most remotes (but not all - see <a href="/overview/#optional-features">the overview</a>) support server side copy.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>This means if you want to copy one folder to another then rclone won't download all the files and re-upload them; it will instruct the server to copy them in place.</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket</code></pre>
<p>Will copy the contents of <code>oldbucket</code> to <code>newbucket</code> without downloading and re-uploading.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Remotes which don't support server side copy <strong>will</strong> download and re-upload in this case.</p>

<p>Server side copies are used with <code>sync</code> and <code>copy</code> and will be identified in the log when using the <code>-v</code> flag. The <code>move</code> command may also use them if remote doesn't support server side move directly. This is done by issuing a server side copy then a delete which is much quicker than a download and re-upload.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the same.</p>
<p>This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
rclone sync /path/to/files remote:current-backup</code></pre>

<h2 id="options-63">Options</h2>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Options that take parameters can have the values passed in two ways, <code>--option=value</code> or <code>--option value</code>. However boolean (true/false) options behave slightly differently to the other options in that <code>--boolean</code> sets the option to <code>true</code> and the absence of the flag sets it to <code>false</code>. It is also possible to specify <code>--boolean=false</code> or <code>--boolean=true</code>. Note that <code>--boolean false</code> is not valid - this is parsed as <code>--boolean</code> and the <code>false</code> is parsed as an extra command line argument for rclone.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Options which use TIME use the go time parser. A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as &quot;300ms&quot;, &quot;-1.5h&quot; or &quot;2h45m&quot;. Valid time units are &quot;ns&quot;, &quot;us&quot; (or &quot;µs&quot;), &quot;ms&quot;, &quot;s&quot;, &quot;m&quot;, &quot;h&quot;.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However, a suffix of <code>b</code> for bytes, <code>k</code> for kBytes, <code>M</code> for MBytes, <code>G</code> for GBytes, <code>T</code> for TBytes and <code>P</code> for PBytes may be used. These are the binary units, eg 1, 2**10, 2**20, 2**30 respectively.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="backup-dirdir">--backup-dir=DIR</h3>
<p>When using <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code> any files which would have been overwritten or deleted are moved in their original hierarchy into this directory.</p>
<p>If <code>--suffix</code> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /path/to/local remote:current --backup-dir remote:old</code></pre>
<p>will sync <code>/path/to/local</code> to <code>remote:current</code>, but for any files which would have been updated or deleted will be stored in <code>remote:old</code>.</p>
<p>If running rclone from a script you might want to use today's date as the directory name passed to <code>--backup-dir</code> to store the old files, or you might want to pass <code>--suffix</code> with today's date.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="bind-string">--bind string</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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 host name doesn't resolve or resolves to more than one IP address it will give an error.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="bwlimitbandwidth_spec">--bwlimit=BANDWIDTH_SPEC</h3>
<p>This option controls the bandwidth limit. Limits can be specified in two ways: As a single limit, or as a timetable.</p>
<p>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 <code>0</code> which means to not limit bandwidth.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>For example, to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use <code>--bwlimit 10M</code></p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>It is also possible to specify a &quot;timetable&quot; of limits, which will cause certain limits to be applied at certain times. To specify a timetable, format your entries as &quot;WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH WEEKDAY-HH:MM,BANDWIDTH...&quot; where: WEEKDAY is optional element. It could be writen as whole world or only using 3 first characters. HH:MM is an hour from 00:00 to 23:59.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>An example of a typical timetable to avoid link saturation during daytime working hours could be:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit &quot;08:00,512 12:00,10M 13:00,512 18:00,30M 23:00,off&quot;</code></p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>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 30MBytes/s, and at 11pm it will be completely disabled (full speed). Anything between 11pm and 8am will remain unlimited.</p>
<p>An example of timetable with WEEKDAY could be:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit &quot;Mon-00:00,512 Fri-23:59,10M Sat-10:00,1M Sun-20:00,off&quot;</code></p>
<p>It mean that, the transfer bandwidh will be set to 512kBytes/sec on 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.</p>
<p>Timeslots without weekday are extended to whole week. So this one example:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit &quot;Mon-00:00,512 12:00,1M Sun-20:00,off&quot;</code></p>
<p>Is equal to this:</p>
<p><code>--bwlimit &quot;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&quot;</code></p>
<p>Bandwidth limits only apply to the data transfer. They don't apply to the bandwidth of the directory listings etc.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Note that the units are Bytes/s, not Bits/s. Typically connections are measured in Bits/s - to convert divide by 8. For example, let's say you 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 <code>--bwlimit 0.625M</code> parameter for rclone.</p>
<p>On Unix systems (Linux, MacOS, …) the bandwidth limiter can be toggled by sending a <code>SIGUSR2</code> 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 <code>--bwlimit</code> quickly when needed. Assuming there is only one rclone instance running, you can toggle the limiter like this:</p>
<pre><code>kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof rclone)</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>If you configure rclone with a <a href="/rc">remote control</a> then you can use change the bwlimit dynamically:</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc core/bwlimit rate=1M</code></pre>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="buffer-sizesize">--buffer-size=SIZE</h3>
<p>Use this sized buffer to speed up file transfers. Each <code>--transfer</code> will use this much memory for buffering.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>When using <code>mount</code> or <code>cmount</code> each open file descriptor will use this much memory for buffering. See the <a href="/commands/rclone_mount/#file-buffering">mount</a> documentation for more details.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Set to 0 to disable the buffering for the minimum memory usage.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Note that the memory allocation of the buffers is influenced by the <a href="#use-mmap">--use-mmap</a> flag.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="checkersn">--checkers=N</h3>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>The number of checkers to run in parallel. Checkers do the equality 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 parallel.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel.</p>
<h3 id="c---checksum">-c, --checksum</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This is useful when the remote doesn't support setting modified time and a more accurate sync is desired than just checking the file size.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://rclone.org/overview/">overview section</a>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Eg <code>rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket</code> would run much quicker than without the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
<h3 id="configconfig_file">--config=CONFIG_FILE</h3>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Specify the location of the rclone config file.</p>
<p>Normally the config file is in your home directory as a file called <code>.config/rclone/rclone.conf</code> (or <code>.rclone.conf</code> if created with an older version). If <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME</code> is set it will be at <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rclone/rclone.conf</code></p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>If you run <code>rclone config file</code> you will see where the default location is for you.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Use this flag to override the config location, eg <code>rclone --config=&quot;.myconfig&quot; .config</code>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="contimeouttime">--contimeout=TIME</h3>
<p>Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which looks like <code>5s</code> for 5 seconds, <code>10m</code> for 10 minutes, or <code>3h30m</code>.</p>
<p>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 <code>1m</code> by default.</p>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<h3 id="dedupe-mode-mode">--dedupe-mode MODE</h3>
<p>Mode to run dedupe command in. One of <code>interactive</code>, <code>skip</code>, <code>first</code>, <code>newest</code>, <code>oldest</code>, <code>rename</code>. The default is <code>interactive</code>. See the dedupe command for more information as to what these options mean.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="disable-featurefeature...">--disable FEATURE,FEATURE,...</h3>
<p>This disables a comma separated list of optional features. For example to disable server side move and server side copy use:</p>
<pre><code>--disable move,copy</code></pre>
<p>The features can be put in in any case.</p>
<p>To see a list of which features can be disabled use:</p>
<pre><code>--disable help</code></pre>
<p>See the overview <a href="/overview/#features">features</a> and <a href="/overview/#optional-features">optional features</a> to get an idea of which feature does what.</p>
<p>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).</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="n---dry-run">-n, --dry-run</h3>
<p>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 <code>sync</code> command which deletes files in the destination.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="ignore-checksum">--ignore-checksum</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will check that the checksums of transferred files match, and give an error &quot;corrupted on transfer&quot; if they don't.</p>
<p>You can use this option to skip that check. You should only use it if you have had the &quot;corrupted on transfer&quot; error message and you are sure you might want to transfer potentially corrupted data.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="ignore-existing">--ignore-existing</h3>
<p>Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files that exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.</p>
<p>While this isn't a generally recommended option, it can be useful in cases where your files change due to encryption. However, it cannot correct partial transfers in case a transfer was interrupted.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<h3 id="ignore-size">--ignore-size</h3>
<p>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 <code>--checksum</code> is set then it only checks the checksum.</p>
<p>It will also cause rclone to skip verifying the sizes are the same after transfer.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>This can be useful for transferring files to and from OneDrive which occasionally misreports the size of image files (see <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/399">#399</a> for more info).</p>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<h3 id="i---ignore-times">-I, --ignore-times</h3>
<p>Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all files regardless of the state of files on the destination.</p>
<p>Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same modification time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if using <code>--checksum</code>).</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="immutable">--immutable</h3>
<p>Treat source and destination files as immutable and disallow modification.</p>
<p>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 <code>Source and destination exist but do not match: immutable file modified</code>.</p>
<p>Note that only commands which transfer files (e.g. <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>, <code>move</code>) are affected by this behavior, and only modification is disallowed. Files may still be deleted explicitly (e.g. <code>delete</code>, <code>purge</code>) or implicitly (e.g. <code>sync</code>, <code>move</code>). Use <code>copy --immutable</code> if it is desired to avoid deletion as well as modification.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h2 id="leave-root">--leave-root</h2>
<p>During rmdirs it will not remove root directory, even if it's empty.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="log-filefile">--log-file=FILE</h3>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default. This can be useful for tracking down problems with syncs in combination with the <code>-v</code> flag. See the <a href="#logging">Logging section</a> for more info.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>Note that if you are using the <code>logrotate</code> program to manage rclone's logs, then you should use the <code>copytruncate</code> option as rclone doesn't have a signal to rotate logs.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="log-format-list">--log-format LIST</h3>
<p>Comma separated list of log format options. <code>date</code>, <code>time</code>, <code>microseconds</code>, <code>longfile</code>, <code>shortfile</code>, <code>UTC</code>. The default is &quot;<code>date</code>,<code>time</code>&quot;.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="log-level-level">--log-level LEVEL</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>This sets the log level for rclone. The default log level is <code>NOTICE</code>.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p><code>DEBUG</code> is equivalent to <code>-vv</code>. It outputs lots of debug info - useful for bug reports and really finding out what rclone is doing.</p>
<p><code>INFO</code> is equivalent to <code>-v</code>. It outputs information about each transfer and prints stats once a minute by default.</p>
<p><code>NOTICE</code> 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.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p><code>ERROR</code> is equivalent to <code>-q</code>. It only outputs error messages.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<h3 id="low-level-retries-number">--low-level-retries NUMBER</h3>
<p>This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.</p>
<p>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 <code>-v</code> flag.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>This shouldn't need to be changed from the default in normal operations. 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 <code>--retries</code> flag) quicker.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>Disable low level retries with <code>--low-level-retries 1</code>.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="max-backlogn">--max-backlog=N</h3>
<p>This is the maximum allowable backlog of files in a sync/copy/move queued for being checked or transferred.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Setting this large allows rclone to calculate how many files are pending more accurately and give a more accurate estimated finish time.</p>
<p>Setting this small will make rclone more synchronous to the listings of the remote which may be desirable.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h3 id="max-deleten">--max-delete=N</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<h3 id="max-depthn">--max-depth=N</h3>
<p>This modifies the recursion depth for all the commands except purge.</p>
<p>So if you do <code>rclone --max-depth 1 ls remote:path</code> you will see only the files in the top level directory. Using <code>--max-depth 2</code> means you will see all the files in first two directory levels and so on.</p>
<p>For historical reasons the <code>lsd</code> command defaults to using a <code>--max-depth</code> of 1 - you can override this with the command line flag.</p>
<p>You can use this command to disable recursion (with <code>--max-depth 1</code>).</p>
<p>Note that if you use this with <code>sync</code> and <code>--delete-excluded</code> the files not recursed through are considered excluded and will be deleted on the destination. Test first with <code>--dry-run</code> if you are not sure what will happen.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<h3 id="max-transfersize">--max-transfer=SIZE</h3>
<p>Rclone will stop transferring when it has reached the size specified. Defaults to off.</p>
<p>When the limit is reached all transfers will stop immediately.</p>
<p>Rclone will exit with exit code 8 if the transfer limit is reached.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="modify-windowtime">--modify-window=TIME</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1ns</code> 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 <code>1s</code> by default.</p>
<p>This command line flag allows you to override that computed default.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<h3 id="no-gzip-encoding">--no-gzip-encoding</h3>
<p>Don't set <code>Accept-Encoding: gzip</code>. This means that rclone won't ask the server for compressed files automatically. Useful if you've set the server to return files with <code>Content-Encoding: gzip</code> but you uploaded compressed files.</p>
<p>There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.</p>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<h3 id="no-update-modtime">--no-update-modtime</h3>
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of remote files if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
<p>This can be used if the remote is being synced with another tool also (eg the Google Drive client).</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="p---progress">-P, --progress</h3>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>This flag makes rclone update the stats in a static block in the terminal providing a realtime overview of the transfer.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Normally this is updated every 500mS but this period can be overridden with the <code>--stats</code> flag.</p>
<p>This can be used with the <code>--stats-one-line</code> flag for a simpler display.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>Note: On Windows until<a href="https://github.com/Azure/go-ansiterm/issues/26">this bug</a> is fixed all non-ASCII characters will be replaced with <code>.</code> when <code>--progress</code> is in use.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="q---quiet">-q, --quiet</h3>
<p>Normally rclone outputs stats and a completion message. If you set this flag it will make as little output as possible.</p>
<h3 id="retries-int">--retries int</h3>
<p>Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default 3).</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries help pick up the files which didn't get transferred because of errors.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Disable retries with <code>--retries 1</code>.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<h3 id="retries-sleeptime">--retries-sleep=TIME</h3>
<p>This sets the interval between each retry specified by <code>--retries</code></p>
<p>The default is 0. Use 0 to disable.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="size-only">--size-only</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>This can be useful transferring files from Dropbox which have been modified by the desktop sync client which doesn't set checksums of modification times in the same way as rclone.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="statstime">--stats=TIME</h3>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>Commands which transfer data (<code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>, <code>copyto</code>, <code>move</code>, <code>moveto</code>) will print data transfer stats at regular intervals to show their progress.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>This sets the interval.</p>
<p>The default is <code>1m</code>. Use 0 to disable.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>If you set the stats interval then all commands can show stats. This can be useful when running other commands, <code>check</code> or <code>mount</code> for example.</p>
<p>Stats are logged at <code>INFO</code> level by default which means they won't show at default log level <code>NOTICE</code>. Use <code>--stats-log-level NOTICE</code> or <code>-v</code> to make them show. See the <a href="#logging">Logging section</a> for more info on log levels.</p>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<p>Note that on macOS you can send a SIGINFO (which is normally ctrl-T in the terminal) to make the stats print immediately.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h3 id="stats-file-name-length-integer">--stats-file-name-length integer</h3>
<p>By default, the <code>--stats</code> output will truncate file names and paths longer than 40 characters. This is equivalent to providing <code>--stats-file-name-length 40</code>. Use <code>--stats-file-name-length 0</code> to disable any truncation of file names printed by stats.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<h3 id="stats-log-level-string">--stats-log-level string</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Log level to show <code>--stats</code> output at. This can be <code>DEBUG</code>, <code>INFO</code>, <code>NOTICE</code>, or <code>ERROR</code>. The default is <code>INFO</code>. This means at the default level of logging which is <code>NOTICE</code> the stats won't show - if you want them to then use <code>--stats-log-level NOTICE</code>. See the <a href="#logging">Logging section</a> for more info on log levels.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="stats-one-line">--stats-one-line</h3>
<p>When this is specified, rclone condenses the stats into a single line showing the most important stats only.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<h3 id="stats-unitbitsbytes">--stats-unit=bits|bytes</h3>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>By default, data transfer rates will be printed in bytes/second.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This option allows the data rate to be printed in bits/second.</p>
<p>Data transfer volume will still be reported in bytes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The default is <code>bytes</code>.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="suffixsuffix">--suffix=SUFFIX</h3>
<p>This is for use with <code>--backup-dir</code> only. If this isn't set then <code>--backup-dir</code> will move files with their original name. If it is set then the files will have SUFFIX added on to them.</p>
<p>See <code>--backup-dir</code> for more info.</p>
<h3 id="syslog">--syslog</h3>
<p>On capable OSes (not Windows or Plan9) send all log output to syslog.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>This can be useful for running rclone in a script or <code>rclone mount</code>.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="syslog-facility-string">--syslog-facility string</h3>
<p>If using <code>--syslog</code> this sets the syslog facility (eg <code>KERN</code>, <code>USER</code>). See <code>man syslog</code> for a list of possible facilities. The default facility is <code>DAEMON</code>.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<h3 id="tpslimit-float">--tpslimit float</h3>
<p>Limit HTTP transactions per second to this. Default is 0 which is used to mean unlimited transactions per second.</p>
<p>For example to limit rclone to 10 HTTP transactions per second use <code>--tpslimit 10</code>, or to 1 transaction every 2 seconds use <code>--tpslimit 0.5</code>.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>This can be very useful for <code>rclone mount</code> to control the behaviour of applications using it.</p>
<p>See also <code>--tpslimit-burst</code>.</p>
<h3 id="tpslimit-burst-int">--tpslimit-burst int</h3>
<p>Max burst of transactions for <code>--tpslimit</code>. (default 1)</p>
<p>Normally <code>--tpslimit</code> will do exactly the number of transaction per second specified. However if you supply <code>--tps-burst</code> then rclone can save up some transactions from when it was idle giving a burst of up to the parameter supplied.</p>
<p>For example if you provide <code>--tpslimit-burst 10</code> then if rclone has been idle for more than 10*<code>--tpslimit</code> then it can do 10 transactions very quickly before they are limited again.</p>
<p>This may be used to increase performance of <code>--tpslimit</code> without changing the long term average number of transactions per second.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="track-renames">--track-renames</h3>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>By default, rclone doesn't keep track of renamed files, so if you rename a file locally then sync it to a remote, rclone will delete the old file on the remote and upload a new copy.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>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 this will track renames during <code>sync</code> operations and perform renaming server-side.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Files will be matched by size and hash - if both match then a rename will be considered.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>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 to the console. Note: Encrypted destinations are not supported by <code>--track-renames</code>.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Note that <code>--track-renames</code> is incompatible with <code>--no-traverse</code> and that it uses extra memory to keep track of all the rename candidates.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Note also that <code>--track-renames</code> is incompatible with <code>--delete-before</code> and will select <code>--delete-after</code> instead of <code>--delete-during</code>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="delete-beforeduringafter">--delete-(before,during,after)</h3>
<p>This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are deleted when you sync folders.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Specifying the value <code>--delete-before</code> will delete all files present on the destination, but not on the source <em>before</em> starting the transfer of any new or updated files. This uses two passes through the file systems, one for the deletions and one for the copies.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-during</code> will delete files while checking and uploading files. This is the fastest option and uses the least memory.</p>
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-after</code> (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 <code>not deleting files as there were IO errors</code>.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list">--fast-list</h3>
<p>When doing anything which involves a directory listing (eg <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code>, <code>ls</code> - 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.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>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).</p>
<p>If you use the <code>--fast-list</code> flag then rclone will use this method for listing directories. This will have the following consequences for the listing:</p>
<ul>
<li>It <strong>will</strong> use fewer transactions (important if you pay for them)</li>
<li>It <strong>will</strong> use more memory. Rclone has to load the whole listing into memory.</li>
<li>It <em>may</em> be faster because it uses fewer transactions</li>
<li>It <em>may</em> be slower because it can't be parallelized</li>
</ul>
<p>rclone should always give identical results with and without <code>--fast-list</code>.</p>
<p>If you pay for transactions and can fit your entire sync listing into memory then <code>--fast-list</code> is recommended. If you have a very big sync to do then don't use <code>--fast-list</code> otherwise you will run out of memory.</p>
<p>If you use <code>--fast-list</code> on a remote which doesn't support it, then rclone will just ignore it.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="timeouttime">--timeout=TIME</h3>
<p>This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.</p>
<p>The default is <code>5m</code>. Set to 0 to disable.</p>
<h3 id="transfersn">--transfers=N</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<h3 id="u---update">-u, --update</h3>
<p>This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination and have a modified time that is newer than the source file.</p>
<p>If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within the computed modify window precision) to the source file's, it will be updated if the sizes are different.</p>
<p>On remotes which don't support mod time directly the time checked will be the uploaded time. This 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.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>This can be useful when transferring to a remote which doesn't support mod times directly as it is more accurate than a <code>--size-only</code> check and faster than using <code>--checksum</code>.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="use-mmap">--use-mmap</h3>
<p>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 <code>--buffer-size</code>). Memory allocated like this does not go on the Go heap and can be returned to the OS immediately when it is finished with.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h3 id="use-server-modtime">--use-server-modtime</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Use this flag to disable the extra API call and rely instead on the server's modified time. In cases such as a local to remote sync, 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.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h3 id="v--vv---verbose">-v, -vv, --verbose</h3>
<p>With <code>-v</code> rclone will tell you about each file that is transferred and a small number of significant events.</p>
<p>With <code>-vv</code> rclone will become very verbose telling you about every file it considers and transfers. Please send bug reports with a log with this setting.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="v---version">-V, --version</h3>
<p>Prints the version number</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<h2 id="configuration-encryption">Configuration Encryption</h2>
<p>Your configuration file contains information for logging in to your cloud services. This means that you should keep your <code>.rclone.conf</code> file in a secure location.</p>
<p>If you are in an environment where that isn't possible, you can add a password to your configuration. This means that you will have to enter the password every time you start rclone.</p>
<p>To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute <code>rclone config</code>.</p>
<pre><code>&gt;rclone config
Current remotes:
e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
e/n/d/s/q&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Go into <code>s</code>, Set configuration password:</p>
<pre><code>e/n/d/s/q&gt; s
Your configuration is not encrypted.
If you add a password, you will protect your login information to cloud services.
a) Add Password
q) Quit to main menu
a/q&gt; a
Enter NEW configuration password:
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
password:
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
Confirm NEW password:
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
password:
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
Password set
Your configuration is encrypted.
c) Change Password
u) Unencrypt configuration
q) Quit to main menu
c/u/q&gt;</code></pre>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone you will now be asked for the password. In the same menu, you can change the password or completely remove encryption from your configuration.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your password.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>rclone uses <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox">nacl secretbox</a> which in turn uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to 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.</p>
<p>While this provides very good security, we do not recommend storing your encrypted rclone configuration in public if it contains sensitive information, maybe except if you use a very strong password.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>If it is safe in your environment, you can set the <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be used for decrypting the configuration.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>You can set this for a session from a script. For unix like systems save this to a file called <code>set-rclone-password</code>:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/echo Source this file don&#39;t run it
read -s RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
export RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code></pre>
<p>Then source the file when you want to use it. From the shell you would do <code>source set-rclone-password</code>. It will then ask you for the password and set it in the environment variable.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>If you are running rclone inside a script, you might want to disable password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter <code>--ask-password=false</code> to rclone. This will make rclone fail instead of asking for a password if <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> doesn't contain a valid password.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h2 id="developer-options">Developer options</h2>
<p>These options are useful when developing or debugging rclone. There are also some more remote specific options which aren't documented here which are used for testing. These start with remote name eg <code>--drive-test-option</code> - see the docs for the remote in question.</p>
<h3 id="cpuprofilefile">--cpuprofile=FILE</h3>
<p>Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with <code>go tool pprof</code>.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h4 id="dump-flagflagflag">--dump flag,flag,flag</h4>
<p>The <code>--dump</code> flag takes a comma separated list of flags to dump info about. These are:</p>
<h4 id="dump-headers">--dump headers</h4>
<p>Dump HTTP headers with <code>Authorization:</code> lines removed. May still contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
<p>Use <code>--dump auth</code> if you do want the <code>Authorization:</code> headers.</p>
<h4 id="dump-bodies">--dump bodies</h4>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Note that the bodies are buffered in memory so don't use this for enormous files.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h4 id="dump-requests">--dump requests</h4>
<p>Like <code>--dump bodies</code> but dumps the request bodies and the response headers. Useful for debugging download problems.</p>
<h4 id="dump-responses">--dump responses</h4>
<p>Like <code>--dump bodies</code> but dumps the response bodies and the request headers. Useful for debugging upload problems.</p>
<h4 id="dump-auth">--dump auth</h4>
<p>Dump HTTP headers - will contain sensitive info such as <code>Authorization:</code> headers - use <code>--dump headers</code> to dump without <code>Authorization:</code> headers. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
<h4 id="dump-filters">--dump filters</h4>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Dump the filters to the output. Useful to see exactly what include and exclude options are filtering on.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h4 id="dump-goroutines">--dump goroutines</h4>
<p>This dumps a list of the running go-routines at the end of the command to standard output.</p>
<h4 id="dump-openfiles">--dump openfiles</h4>
<p>This dumps a list of the open files at the end of the command. It uses the <code>lsof</code> command to do that so you'll need that installed to use it.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="memprofilefile">--memprofile=FILE</h3>
<p>Write memory profile to file. This can be analysed with <code>go tool pprof</code>.</p>
<h3 id="no-check-certificatetruefalse">--no-check-certificate=true/false</h3>
<p><code>--no-check-certificate</code> controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and host name. If <code>--no-check-certificate</code> 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.</p>
<p>This option defaults to <code>false</code>.</p>
<p><strong>This should be used only for testing.</strong></p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="no-traverse">--no-traverse</h3>
<p>The <code>--no-traverse</code> flag controls whether the destination file system is traversed when using the <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code> commands. <code>--no-traverse</code> is not compatible with <code>sync</code> and will be ignored if you supply it with <code>sync</code>.</p>
<p>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 <code>--no-traverse</code> will stop rclone listing the destination and save time.</p>
<p>However, if you are copying a large number of files, especially if you are doing a copy where lots of the files under consideration haven't changed and won't need copying then you shouldn't use <code>--no-traverse</code>.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_copy/">rclone copy</a> for an example of how to use it.</p>

<h2 id="logging">Logging</h2>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>rclone has 4 levels of logging, <code>ERROR</code>, <code>NOTICE</code>, <code>INFO</code> and <code>DEBUG</code>.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>By default, rclone logs to standard error. This means you can redirect standard error and still see the normal output of rclone commands (eg <code>rclone ls</code>).</p>
<p>By default, rclone will produce <code>Error</code> and <code>Notice</code> level messages.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>If you use the <code>-q</code> flag, rclone will only produce <code>Error</code> messages.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>If you use the <code>-v</code> flag, rclone will produce <code>Error</code>, <code>Notice</code> and <code>Info</code> messages.</p>
<p>If you use the <code>-vv</code> flag, rclone will produce <code>Error</code>, <code>Notice</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code> messages.</p>
<p>You can also control the log levels with the <code>--log-level</code> flag.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>If you use the <code>--log-file=FILE</code> option, rclone will redirect <code>Error</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code> messages along with standard error to FILE.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>If you use the <code>--syslog</code> flag then rclone will log to syslog and the <code>--syslog-facility</code> control which facility it uses.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h2 id="exit-code">Exit Code</h2>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>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.</p>
<p>During the startup phase, rclone will exit immediately if an error is detected in the configuration. There will always be a log message immediately before exiting.</p>
<p>When rclone is running it will accumulate errors as it goes along, and only exit with a non-zero exit code if (after retries) there were still failed transfers. For every error counted there will be a high priority log message (visible with <code>-q</code>) showing the message and which file caused 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.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="list-of-exit-codes">List of exit codes</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>0</code> - success</li>
<li><code>1</code> - Syntax or usage error</li>
<li><code>2</code> - Error not otherwise categorised</li>
<li><code>3</code> - Directory not found</li>
<li><code>4</code> - File not found</li>
<li><code>5</code> - Temporary error (one that more retries might fix) (Retry errors)</li>
<li><code>6</code> - Less serious errors (like 461 errors from dropbox) (NoRetry errors)</li>
<li><code>7</code> - Fatal error (one that more retries won't fix, like account suspended) (Fatal errors)</li>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00

2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<h2 id="environment-variables">Environment Variables</h2>
<p>Rclone can be configured entirely using environment variables. These can be used to set defaults for options or config file entries.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="options-64">Options</h3>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Every option in rclone can have its default set by environment variable.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>To find the name of the environment variable, first, take the long option name, strip the leading <code>--</code>, change <code>-</code> to <code>_</code>, make upper case and prepend <code>RCLONE_</code>.</p>
<p>For example, to always set <code>--stats 5s</code>, set the environment variable <code>RCLONE_STATS=5s</code>. If you set stats on the command line this will override the environment variable setting.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Or to always use the trash in drive <code>--drive-use-trash</code>, set <code>RCLONE_DRIVE_USE_TRASH=true</code>.</p>
<p>The same parser is used for the options and the environment variables so they take exactly the same form.</p>
<h3 id="config-file">Config file</h3>
<p>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 <code>rclone config</code> 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 <code>--config</code> in <code>rclone help</code>).</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>To find the name of the environment variable, you need to set, take <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_</code> + name of remote + <code>_</code> + name of config file option and make it all uppercase.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<p>For example, to configure an S3 remote named <code>mys3:</code> without a config file (using unix ways of setting environment variables):</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<pre><code>$ 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:</code></pre>
<p>Note that if you want to create a remote using environment variables you must create the <code>..._TYPE</code> variable as above.</p>
<h3 id="other-environment-variables">Other environment variables</h3>
<ul>
<li>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS` set to contain your config file password (see <a href="#configuration-encryption">Configuration Encryption</a> section)</li>
<li>HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof).
<ul>
<li>HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests.</li>
<li>The environment values may be either a complete URL or a &quot;host[:port]&quot; for, in which case the &quot;http&quot; scheme is assumed.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<h1 id="configuring-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-machine">Configuring rclone on a remote / headless machine</h1>
<p>Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an Internet connected web browser.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="configuring-using-rclone-authorize">Configuring using rclone authorize</h2>
<p>On the headless box</p>
<pre><code>...
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&gt; n
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has a web browser available.
Execute the following on your machine:
rclone authorize &quot;amazon cloud drive&quot;
Then paste the result below:
result&gt;</code></pre>
<p>Then on your main desktop machine</p>
<pre><code>rclone authorize &quot;amazon cloud drive&quot;
If your browser doesn&#39;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 ---&gt;
SECRET_TOKEN
&lt;---End paste</code></pre>
<p>Then back to the headless box, paste in the code</p>
<pre><code>result&gt; 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&gt;</code></pre>
<h2 id="configuring-by-copying-the-config-file">Configuring by copying the config file</h2>
<p>Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This can easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.</p>
<p>So first configure rclone on your desktop machine</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
<p>to set up the config file.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Find the config file by running <code>rclone config file</code>, for example</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/home/user/.rclone.conf</code></pre>
<p>Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp etc) and place it in the correct place (use <code>rclone config file</code> on the remote box to find out where).</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h1 id="filtering-includes-and-excludes">Filtering, includes and excludes</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The filters are applied for the <code>copy</code>, <code>sync</code>, <code>move</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>lsl</code>, <code>md5sum</code>, <code>sha1sum</code>, <code>size</code>, <code>delete</code> and <code>check</code> operations. Note that <code>purge</code> does not obey the filters.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>Each path as it passes through rclone is matched against the include and exclude rules like <code>--include</code>, <code>--exclude</code>, <code>--include-from</code>, <code>--exclude-from</code>, <code>--filter</code>, or <code>--filter-from</code>. The simplest way to try them out is using the <code>ls</code> command, or <code>--dry-run</code> together with <code>-v</code>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h2 id="patterns">Patterns</h2>
<p>The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based on &quot;file globs&quot; as used by the unix shell.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>If the pattern starts with a <code>/</code> then it only matches at the top level of the directory tree, <strong>relative to the root of the remote</strong> (not necessarily the root of the local drive). If it doesn't start with <code>/</code> then it is matched starting at the <strong>end of the path</strong>, but it will only match a complete path element:</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<pre><code>file.jpg - matches &quot;file.jpg&quot;
- matches &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;afile.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;directory/afile.jpg&quot;
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
/file.jpg - matches &quot;file.jpg&quot; in the root directory of the remote
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;afile.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;</code></pre>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<p><strong>Important</strong> Note that you must use <code>/</code> in patterns and not <code>\</code> even if running on Windows.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>A <code>*</code> matches anything but not a <code>/</code>.</p>
<pre><code>*.jpg - matches &quot;file.jpg&quot;
- matches &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;file.jpg/something&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Use <code>**</code> to match anything, including slashes (<code>/</code>).</p>
<pre><code>dir/** - matches &quot;dir/file.jpg&quot;
- matches &quot;dir/dir1/dir2/file.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;directory/file.jpg&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;adir/file.jpg&quot;</code></pre>
<p>A <code>?</code> matches any character except a slash <code>/</code>.</p>
<pre><code>l?ss - matches &quot;less&quot;
- matches &quot;lass&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;floss&quot;</code></pre>
<p>A <code>[</code> and <code>]</code> together make a a character class, such as <code>[a-z]</code> or <code>[aeiou]</code> or <code>[[:alpha:]]</code>. See the <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">go regexp docs</a> for more info on these.</p>
<pre><code>h[ae]llo - matches &quot;hello&quot;
- matches &quot;hallo&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;hullo&quot;</code></pre>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>A <code>{</code> and <code>}</code> define a choice between elements. It should contain a comma separated list of patterns, any of which might match. These patterns can contain wildcards.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<pre><code>{one,two}_potato - matches &quot;one_potato&quot;
- matches &quot;two_potato&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;three_potato&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;_potato&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Special characters can be escaped with a <code>\</code> before them.</p>
<pre><code>\*.jpg - matches &quot;*.jpg&quot;
\\.jpg - matches &quot;\.jpg&quot;
\[one\].jpg - matches &quot;[one].jpg&quot;</code></pre>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>Patterns are case sensitive unless the <code>--ignore-case</code> flag is used.</p>
<p>Without <code>--ignore-case</code> (default)</p>
<pre><code>potato - matches &quot;potato&quot;
- doesn&#39;t match &quot;POTATO&quot;</code></pre>
<p>With <code>--ignore-case</code></p>
<pre><code>potato - matches &quot;potato&quot;
- matches &quot;POTATO&quot;</code></pre>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>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 <code>rclone copy &quot;remote:dir*.jpg&quot; /path/to/dir</code> won't work - what is required is <code>rclone --include &quot;*.jpg&quot; copy remote:dir /path/to/dir</code></p>
<h3 id="directories">Directories</h3>
<p>Rclone keeps track of directories that could match any file patterns.</p>
<p>Eg if you add the include rule</p>
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
<pre><code>/a/*.jpg</code></pre>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>Rclone will synthesize the directory include rule</p>
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
<pre><code>/a/</code></pre>
<p>If you put any rules which end in <code>/</code> then it will only match directories.</p>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>Directory matches are <strong>only</strong> used to optimise directory access patterns - you must still match the files that you want to match. Directory matches won't optimise anything on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2) which don't have a concept of directory.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="differences-between-rsync-and-rclone-patterns">Differences between rsync and rclone patterns</h3>
<p>Rclone implements bash style <code>{a,b,c}</code> glob matching which rsync doesn't.</p>
<p>Rclone always does a wildcard match so <code>\</code> must always escape a <code>\</code>.</p>
<h2 id="how-the-rules-are-used">How the rules are used</h2>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>Rclone maintains a combined list of include rules and exclude rules.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If the matcher fails to find a match after testing against all the entries in the list then the path is included.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>For example given the following rules, <code>+</code> being include, <code>-</code> being exclude,</p>
<pre><code>- secret*.jpg
+ *.jpg
+ *.png
+ file2.avi
- *</code></pre>
<p>This would include</p>
<ul>
<li><code>file1.jpg</code></li>
<li><code>file3.png</code></li>
<li><code>file2.avi</code></li>
</ul>
<p>This would exclude</p>
<ul>
<li><code>secret17.jpg</code></li>
<li>non <code>*.jpg</code> and <code>*.png</code></li>
</ul>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<p>A similar process is done on directory entries before recursing into them. This only works on remotes which have a concept of directory (Eg local, google drive, onedrive, amazon drive) and not on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2).</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h2 id="adding-filtering-rules">Adding filtering rules</h2>
<p>Filtering rules are added with the following command line flags.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<h3 id="repeating-options">Repeating options</h3>
<p>You can repeat the following options to add more than one rule of that type.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--include</code></li>
<li><code>--include-from</code></li>
<li><code>--exclude</code></li>
<li><code>--exclude-from</code></li>
<li><code>--filter</code></li>
<li><code>--filter-from</code></li>
</ul>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p><strong>Important</strong> You should not use <code>--include*</code> together with <code>--exclude*</code>. It may produce different results than you expected. In that case try to use: <code>--filter*</code>.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
<p>So all <code>--include</code> options are processed first in the order they appeared on the command line, then all <code>--include-from</code> options etc.</p>
<p>To mix up the order includes and excludes, the <code>--filter</code> flag can be used.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="exclude---exclude-files-matching-pattern"><code>--exclude</code> - Exclude files matching pattern</h3>
<p>Add a single exclude rule with <code>--exclude</code>.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Eg <code>--exclude *.bak</code> to exclude all bak files from the sync.</p>
<h3 id="exclude-from---read-exclude-patterns-from-file"><code>--exclude-from</code> - Read exclude patterns from file</h3>
<p>Add exclude rules from a file.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>exclude-file.txt</code></p>
<pre><code># a sample exclude rule file
*.bak
file2.jpg</code></pre>
<p>Then use as <code>--exclude-from exclude-file.txt</code>. This will sync all files except those ending in <code>bak</code> and <code>file2.jpg</code>.</p>
<p>This is useful if you have a lot of rules.</p>
<h3 id="include---include-files-matching-pattern"><code>--include</code> - Include files matching pattern</h3>
<p>Add a single include rule with <code>--include</code>.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Eg <code>--include *.{png,jpg}</code> to include all <code>png</code> and <code>jpg</code> files in the backup and no others.</p>
<p>This adds an implicit <code>--exclude *</code> at the very end of the filter list. This means you can mix <code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> with the other filters (eg <code>--exclude</code>) but you must include all the files you want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then you must use <code>--filter-from</code>.</p>
<h3 id="include-from---read-include-patterns-from-file"><code>--include-from</code> - Read include patterns from file</h3>
<p>Add include rules from a file.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>include-file.txt</code></p>
<pre><code># a sample include rule file
*.jpg
*.png
file2.avi</code></pre>
<p>Then use as <code>--include-from include-file.txt</code>. This will sync all <code>jpg</code>, <code>png</code> files and <code>file2.avi</code>.</p>
<p>This is useful if you have a lot of rules.</p>
<p>This adds an implicit <code>--exclude *</code> at the very end of the filter list. This means you can mix <code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> with the other filters (eg <code>--exclude</code>) but you must include all the files you want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then you must use <code>--filter-from</code>.</p>
<h3 id="filter---add-a-file-filtering-rule"><code>--filter</code> - Add a file-filtering rule</h3>
<p>This can be used to add a single include or exclude rule. Include rules start with <code>+</code> and exclude rules start with <code>-</code>. A special rule called <code>!</code> can be used to clear the existing rules.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Eg <code>--filter &quot;- *.bak&quot;</code> to exclude all bak files from the sync.</p>
<h3 id="filter-from---read-filtering-patterns-from-a-file"><code>--filter-from</code> - Read filtering patterns from a file</h3>
<p>Add include/exclude rules from a file.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>This flag can be repeated. See above for the order the flags are processed in.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>filter-file.txt</code></p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<pre><code># 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
- *</code></pre>
<p>Then use as <code>--filter-from filter-file.txt</code>. The rules are processed in the order that they are defined.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>This example will include all <code>jpg</code> and <code>png</code> files, exclude any files matching <code>secret*.jpg</code> and include <code>file2.avi</code>. It will also include everything in the directory <code>dir</code> at the root of the sync, except <code>dir/Trash</code> which it will exclude. Everything else will be excluded from the sync.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="files-from---read-list-of-source-file-names"><code>--files-from</code> - Read list of source-file names</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>This reads a list of file names from the file passed in and <strong>only</strong> these files are transferred. The <strong>filtering rules are ignored</strong> completely if you use this option.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>Rclone will not scan any directories if you use <code>--files-from</code> it will just look at the files specified. Rclone will not error if any of the files are missing from the source.</p>
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Paths within the <code>--files-from</code> file will be interpreted as starting with the root specified in the command. Leading <code>/</code> characters are ignored.</p>
<p>For example, suppose you had <code>files-from.txt</code> with this content:</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<pre><code># comment
file1.jpg
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
subdir/file2.jpg</code></pre>
<p>You could then use it like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home/me/pics remote:pics</code></pre>
<p>This will transfer these files only (if they exist)</p>
<pre><code>/home/me/pics/file1.jpg → remote:pics/file1.jpg
/home/me/pics/subdir/file2.jpg → remote:pics/subdirfile1.jpg</code></pre>
<p>To take a more complicated example, let's say you had a few files you want to back up regularly with these absolute paths:</p>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<pre><code>/home/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff</code></pre>
<p>To copy these you'd find a common subdirectory - in this case <code>/home</code> and put the remaining files in <code>files-from.txt</code> with or without leading <code>/</code>, eg</p>
<pre><code>user1/important
user1/dir/file
user2/stuff</code></pre>
<p>You could then copy these to a remote like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home remote:backup</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>The 3 files will arrive in <code>remote:backup</code> with the paths as in the <code>files-from.txt</code> like this:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/important → remote:backup/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file → remote:backup/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff → remote:backup/stuff</code></pre>
2016-07-13 13:26:22 +02:00
<p>You could of course choose <code>/</code> as the root too in which case your <code>files-from.txt</code> might look like this.</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff</code></pre>
<p>And you would transfer it like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt / remote:backup</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>In this case there will be an extra <code>home</code> directory on the remote:</p>
<pre><code>/home/user1/important → remote:home/backup/user1/important
/home/user1/dir/file → remote:home/backup/user1/dir/file
/home/user2/stuff → remote:home/backup/stuff</code></pre>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="min-size---dont-transfer-any-file-smaller-than-this"><code>--min-size</code> - Don't transfer any file smaller than this</h3>
<p>This option controls the minimum size file which will be transferred. This defaults to <code>kBytes</code> but a suffix of <code>k</code>, <code>M</code>, or <code>G</code> can be used.</p>
<p>For example <code>--min-size 50k</code> means no files smaller than 50kByte will be transferred.</p>
<h3 id="max-size---dont-transfer-any-file-larger-than-this"><code>--max-size</code> - Don't transfer any file larger than this</h3>
<p>This option controls the maximum size file which will be transferred. This defaults to <code>kBytes</code> but a suffix of <code>k</code>, <code>M</code>, or <code>G</code> can be used.</p>
<p>For example <code>--max-size 1G</code> means no files larger than 1GByte will be transferred.</p>
<h3 id="max-age---dont-transfer-any-file-older-than-this"><code>--max-age</code> - Don't transfer any file older than this</h3>
<p>This option controls the maximum age of files to transfer. Give in seconds or with a suffix of:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ms</code> - Milliseconds</li>
<li><code>s</code> - Seconds</li>
<li><code>m</code> - Minutes</li>
<li><code>h</code> - Hours</li>
<li><code>d</code> - Days</li>
<li><code>w</code> - Weeks</li>
<li><code>M</code> - Months</li>
<li><code>y</code> - Years</li>
</ul>
<p>For example <code>--max-age 2d</code> means no files older than 2 days will be transferred.</p>
<h3 id="min-age---dont-transfer-any-file-younger-than-this"><code>--min-age</code> - Don't transfer any file younger than this</h3>
<p>This option controls the minimum age of files to transfer. Give in seconds or with a suffix (see <code>--max-age</code> for list of suffixes)</p>
<p>For example <code>--min-age 2d</code> means no files younger than 2 days will be transferred.</p>
<h3 id="delete-excluded---delete-files-on-dest-excluded-from-sync"><code>--delete-excluded</code> - Delete files on dest excluded from sync</h3>
<p><strong>Important</strong> this flag is dangerous - use with <code>--dry-run</code> and <code>-v</code> first.</p>
<p>When doing <code>rclone sync</code> this will delete any files which are excluded from the sync on the destination.</p>
<p>If for example you did a sync from <code>A</code> to <code>B</code> without the <code>--min-size 50k</code> flag</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync A: B:</code></pre>
<p>Then you repeated it like this with the <code>--delete-excluded</code></p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:</code></pre>
<p>This would delete all files on <code>B</code> which are less than 50 kBytes as these are now excluded from the sync.</p>
<p>Always test first with <code>--dry-run</code> and <code>-v</code> before using this flag.</p>

<p>This dumps the defined filters to the output as regular expressions.</p>
<p>Useful for debugging.</p>

<h3 id="ignore-case---make-searches-case-insensitive"><code>--ignore-case</code> - make searches case insensitive</h3>
<p>Normally filter patterns are case sensitive. If this flag is supplied then filter patterns become case insensitive.</p>
<p>Normally a <code>--include &quot;file.txt&quot;</code> will not match a file called <code>FILE.txt</code>. However if you use the <code>--ignore-case</code> flag then <code>--include &quot;file.txt&quot;</code> this will match a file called <code>FILE.txt</code>.</p>

<h2 id="quoting-shell-metacharacters">Quoting shell metacharacters</h2>
<p>The examples above may not work verbatim in your shell as they have shell metacharacters in them (eg <code>*</code>), and may require quoting.</p>
<p>Eg linux, OSX</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--include \*.jpg</code></li>
<li><code>--include '*.jpg'</code></li>
<li><code>--include='*.jpg'</code></li>
</ul>
<p>In Windows the expansion is done by the command not the shell so this should work fine</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--include *.jpg</code></li>
</ul>

<h2 id="exclude-directory-based-on-a-file">Exclude directory based on a file</h2>
<p>It is possible to exclude a directory based on a file, which is present in this directory. Filename should be specified using the <code>--exclude-if-present</code> flag. This flag has a priority over the other filtering flags.</p>
<p>Imagine, you have the following directory structure:</p>
<pre><code>dir1/file1
dir1/dir2/file2
dir1/dir2/dir3/file3
dir1/dir2/dir3/.ignore</code></pre>
<p>You can exclude <code>dir3</code> from sync by running the following command:</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync --exclude-if-present .ignore dir1 remote:backup</code></pre>
<p>Currently only one filename is supported, i.e. <code>--exclude-if-present</code> should not be used multiple times.</p>

<h3 id="rc-serve">--rc-serve</h3>
<p>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</p>
<p>Default Off.</p>
<h3 id="rc-files-pathtodirectory">--rc-files /path/to/directory</h3>
<p>Path to local files to serve on the HTTP server.</p>
<p>If this is set then rclone will serve the files in that directory. It will also open the root in the web browser if specified. This is for implementing browser based GUIs for rclone functions.</p>
<p>If <code>--rc-user</code> or <code>--rc-pass</code> is set then the URL that is opened will have the authorization in the URL in the <code>http://user:pass@localhost/</code> style.</p>
<p>Default Off.</p>
<h3 id="rc-no-auth">--rc-no-auth</h3>
<p>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 <code>operations/list</code> is denied as it involved creating a remote as is <code>sync/copy</code>.</p>
<p>If this is set then no authorisation will be required on the server to use these methods. The alternative is to use <code>--rc-user</code> and <code>--rc-pass</code> and use these credentials in the request.</p>

<h2 id="accessing-the-remote-control-via-the-rclone-rc-command">Accessing the remote control via the rclone rc command</h2>
<p>Rclone itself implements the remote control protocol in its <code>rclone rc</code> command.</p>
<p>You can use it like this</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc rc/noop param1=one param2=two
{
&quot;param1&quot;: &quot;one&quot;,
&quot;param2&quot;: &quot;two&quot;
}</code></pre>
<p>Run <code>rclone rc</code> on its own to see the help for the installed remote control commands.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p><code>rclone rc</code> also supports a <code>--json</code> flag which can be used to send more complicated input parameters.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;p1&quot;: [1,&quot;2&quot;,null,4], &quot;p2&quot;: { &quot;a&quot;:1, &quot;b&quot;:2 } }&#39; rc/noop
{

<h2 id="special-parameters">Special parameters</h2>
<p>The rc interface supports some special parameters which apply to <strong>all</strong> commands. These start with <code>_</code> to show they are different.</p>
<h3 id="running-asynchronous-jobs-with-_async-true">Running asynchronous jobs with _async = true</h3>
<p>If <code>_async</code> 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 <code>job/status</code> 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.</p>
<p>It is recommended that potentially long running jobs, eg <code>sync/sync</code>, <code>sync/copy</code>, <code>sync/move</code>, <code>operations/purge</code> are run with the <code>_async</code> flag to avoid any potential problems with the HTTP request and response timing out.</p>
<p>Starting a job with the <code>_async</code> flag:</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;p1&quot;: [1,&quot;2&quot;,null,4], &quot;p2&quot;: { &quot;a&quot;:1, &quot;b&quot;:2 }, &quot;_async&quot;: true }&#39; rc/noop
{
&quot;jobid&quot;: 2
}</code></pre>
<p>Query the status to see if the job has finished. For more information on the meaning of these return parameters see the <code>job/status</code> call.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone rc --json &#39;{ &quot;jobid&quot;:2 }&#39; job/status
{
&quot;duration&quot;: 0.000124163,
&quot;endTime&quot;: &quot;2018-10-27T11:38:07.911245881+01:00&quot;,

<h3 id="cachefetch-fetch-file-chunks">cache/fetch: Fetch file chunks</h3>
<p>Ensure the specified file chunks are cached on disk.</p>
<p>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]</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>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 file to fetch exclusive. Both values can be negative, in which case they count from the back of the file. The value &quot;-5:&quot; represents the last 5 chunks of a file.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>Some valid examples are: &quot;:5,-5:&quot; -&gt; the first and last five chunks &quot;0,-2&quot; -&gt; the first and the second last chunk &quot;0:10&quot; -&gt; the first ten chunks</p>
<p>Any parameter with a key that starts with &quot;file&quot; can be used to specify files to fetch, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc cache/fetch chunks=0 file=hello file2=home/goodbye</code></pre>

<h3 id="vfsforget-forget-files-or-directories-in-the-directory-cache.">vfs/forget: Forget files or directories in the directory cache.</h3>
<p>This forgets the paths in the directory cache causing them to be re-read from the remote when needed.</p>
<p>If no paths are passed in then it will forget all the paths in the directory cache.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget</code></pre>
<p>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</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/forget file=hello file2=goodbye dir=home/junk</code></pre>

<h3 id="vfspoll-interval-get-the-status-or-update-the-value-of-the-poll-interval-option.">vfs/poll-interval: Get the status or update the value of the poll-interval option.</h3>
<p>Without any parameter given this returns the current status of the poll-interval setting.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/poll-interval interval=5m</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The new poll-interval value will only be active when the timeout is not reached.</p>
<p>If poll-interval is updated or disabled temporarily, some changes might not get picked up by the polling function, depending on the used remote.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="vfsrefresh-refresh-the-directory-cache.">vfs/refresh: Refresh the directory cache.</h3>
<p>This reads the directories for the specified paths and freshens the directory cache.</p>
<p>If no paths are passed in then it will refresh the root directory.</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/refresh</code></pre>
<p>Otherwise pass directories in as dir=path. Any parameter key starting with dir will refresh that directory, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone rc vfs/refresh dir=home/junk dir2=data/misc</code></pre>
<p>If the parameter recursive=true is given the whole directory tree will get refreshed. This refresh will use --fast-list if enabled.</p>

<h2 id="accessing-the-remote-control-via-http">Accessing the remote control via HTTP</h2>
<p>Rclone implements a simple HTTP based protocol.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>All calls must made using POST.</p>
<p>The input objects can be supplied using URL parameters, POST parameters or by supplying &quot;Content-Type: application/json&quot; and a JSON blob in the body. There are examples of these below using <code>curl</code>.</p>
<p>The response will be a JSON blob in the body of the response. This is formatted to be reasonably human readable.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<h3 id="error-returns">Error returns</h3>
<p>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</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;error&quot;: &quot;Expecting string value for key \&quot;remote\&quot; (was float64)&quot;,
&quot;input&quot;: {
&quot;fs&quot;: &quot;/tmp&quot;,
&quot;remote&quot;: 3
},
&quot;status&quot;: 400
&quot;path&quot;: &quot;operations/rmdir&quot;,
}</code></pre>
<p>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</p>
<h3 id="cors">CORS</h3>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>The sever implements basic CORS support and allows all origins for that. The response to a preflight OPTIONS request will echo the requested &quot;Access-Control-Request-Headers&quot; back.</p>

<h3 id="hash">Hash</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>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 <code>--checksum</code> flag in syncs and in the <code>check</code> command.</p>
<p>To use the verify checksums when transferring between cloud storage systems they must support a common hash type.</p>
<p>† Note that Dropbox supports <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash">its own custom hash</a>. This is an SHA256 sum of all the 4MB block SHA256s.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>‡ SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and <code>md5sum</code> or <code>sha1sum</code> as well as <code>echo</code> are in the remote's PATH.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>†† WebDAV supports hashes when used with Owncloud and Nextcloud only.</p>
<p>††† WebDAV supports modtimes when used with Owncloud and Nextcloud only.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>‡‡ Microsoft OneDrive Personal supports SHA1 hashes, whereas OneDrive for business and SharePoint server support Microsoft's own <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/code-snippets/quickxorhash">QuickXorHash</a>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="modtime">ModTime</h3>
<p>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 <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>All cloud storage systems support some kind of date on the object and these will be set when transferring from the cloud storage system.</p>
<h3 id="case-insensitive">Case Insensitive</h3>
<p>If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to have two files which differ only in case, eg <code>file.txt</code> and <code>FILE.txt</code>. If a cloud storage system is case insensitive then that isn't possible.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>The local filesystem and SFTP may or may not be case sensitive depending on OS.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<ul>
<li>Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved</li>
<li>OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case sensitive</li>
<li>Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file systems (eg FAT formatted USB keys)</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="duplicate-files">Duplicate files</h3>
<p>If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two objects with the same name.</p>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<p>This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the <code>rclone dedupe</code> command to rename or remove duplicates.</p>
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
<h3 id="mime-type">MIME Type</h3>
<p>MIME types (also known as media types) classify types of documents using a simple text classification, eg <code>text/html</code> or <code>application/pdf</code>.</p>
<p>Some cloud storage systems support reading (<code>R</code>) the MIME type of objects and some support writing (<code>W</code>) the MIME type of objects.</p>
<p>The MIME type can be important if you are serving files directly to HTTP from the storage system.</p>
<p>If you are copying from a remote which supports reading (<code>R</code>) to a remote which supports writing (<code>W</code>) then rclone will preserve the MIME types. Otherwise they will be guessed from the extension, or the remote itself may assign the MIME type.</p>
<h2 id="optional-features">Optional Features</h2>
<p>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.</p>

<h3 id="purge">Purge</h3>
<p>This deletes a directory quicker than just deleting all the files in the directory.</p>
<p>† Note Swift and Hubic 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.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>‡ StreamUpload is not supported with Nextcloud</p>
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
<h3 id="copy">Copy</h3>
<p>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 <code>rclone copy</code> or <code>rclone move</code> if the remote doesn't support <code>Move</code> directly.</p>
<p>If the server doesn't support <code>Copy</code> directly then for copy operations the file is downloaded then re-uploaded.</p>
<h3 id="move">Move</h3>
<p>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 <code>rclone move</code> if the server doesn't support <code>DirMove</code>.</p>
<p>If the server isn't capable of <code>Move</code> then rclone simulates it with <code>Copy</code> then delete. If the server doesn't support <code>Copy</code> then rclone will download the file and re-upload it.</p>
<h3 id="dirmove">DirMove</h3>
<p>This is used to implement <code>rclone move</code> to move a directory if possible. If it isn't then it will use <code>Move</code> on each file (which falls back to <code>Copy</code> then download and upload - see <code>Move</code> section).</p>
<h3 id="cleanup">CleanUp</h3>
<p>This is used for emptying the trash for a remote by <code>rclone cleanup</code>.</p>
<p>If the server can't do <code>CleanUp</code> then <code>rclone cleanup</code> will return an error.</p>
<h3 id="listr">ListR</h3>
<p>The remote supports a recursive list to list all the contents beneath a directory quickly. This enables the <code>--fast-list</code> flag to work. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="streamupload">StreamUpload</h3>
<p>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. <code>rclone rcat</code>.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h3 id="linksharing">LinkSharing</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="about">About</h3>
<p>This is used to fetch quota information from the remote, like bytes used/free/quota and bytes used in the trash.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>This is also used to return the space used, available for <code>rclone mount</code>.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>If the server can't do <code>About</code> then <code>rclone about</code> will return an error.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h2 id="alias">Alias</h2>
<p>The <code>alias</code> remote provides a new name for another remote.</p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required or a local path, eg <code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code> or <code>/directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>During the initial setup with <code>rclone config</code> you will specify the target remote. The target remote can either be a local path or another remote.</p>
<p>Subfolders can be used in target remote. Asume a alias remote named <code>backup</code> with the target <code>mydrive:private/backup</code>. Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:desktop</code> is exactly the same as invoking <code>rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop</code>.</p>
<p>There will be no special handling of paths containing <code>..</code> segments. Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:../desktop</code> is exactly the same as invoking <code>rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop</code>. The empty path is not allowed as a remote. To alias the current directory use <code>.</code> instead.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a alias called <code>remote</code> for local folder. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>

<h2 id="amazon-drive">Amazon Drive</h2>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>Amazon Drive, formerly known as Amazon Cloud Drive, is a cloud storage service run by Amazon for consumers.</p>
<h2 id="status">Status</h2>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> rclone supports Amazon Drive only if you have your own set of API keys. Unfortunately the <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/amazon-drive">Amazon Drive developer program</a> 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.</p>
<p>For the history on why rclone no longer has a set of Amazon Drive API keys see <a href="https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-has-been-banned-from-amazon-drive/2314">the forum</a>.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<h2 id="setup">Setup</h2>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>The initial setup for Amazon Drive involves getting a token from Amazon which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>The configuration process for Amazon Drive may involve using an <a href="https://github.com/ncw/oauthproxy">oauth proxy</a>. 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.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>Since rclone doesn't currently have its own Amazon Drive credentials so you will either need to have your own <code>client_id</code> and <code>client_secret</code> with Amazon Drive, or use a a third party ouath proxy in which case you will need to enter <code>client_id</code>, <code>client_secret</code>, <code>auth_url</code> and <code>token_url</code>.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Note also if you are not using Amazon's <code>auth_url</code> and <code>token_url</code>, (ie you filled in something for those) then if setting up on a remote machine you can only use the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/#configuring-by-copying-the-config-file">copying the config method of configuration</a> - <code>rclone authorize</code> will not work.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called <code>remote</code>. First run:</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p>
<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your Amazon Drive</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>

<h3 id="modified-time-and-md5sums">Modified time and MD5SUMs</h3>
<p>Amazon Drive doesn't allow modification times to be changed via the API so these won't be accurate or used for syncing.</p>
<p>It does store MD5SUMs so for a more accurate sync, you can use the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="deleting-files">Deleting files</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="using-with-non-.com-amazon-accounts">Using with non <code>.com</code> Amazon accounts</h3>
<p>Let's say you usually use <code>amazon.co.uk</code>. When you authenticate with rclone it will take you to an <code>amazon.com</code> page to log in. Your <code>amazon.co.uk</code> email and password should work here just fine.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>These values were determined empirically by observing lots of uploads of big files for a range of file sizes.</p>

<p>Files &gt;= this size will be downloaded via their tempLink.</p>
<p>Files this size or more will be downloaded via their &quot;tempLink&quot;. 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.</p>
<p>To download files above this threshold, rclone requests a &quot;tempLink&quot; which downloads the file through a temporary URL directly from the underlying S3 storage.</p>

<h3 id="limitations-1">Limitations</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Note that Amazon Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called &quot;Hello.doc&quot; and one called &quot;hello.doc&quot;.</p>
<p>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 <code>--retries</code> flag) which should hopefully work around this problem.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>At the time of writing (Jan 2016) is in the area of 50GB per file. This means that larger files are likely to fail.</p>
<p>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 <code>--max-size 50000M</code> option to limit the maximum size of uploaded files. Note that <code>--max-size</code> does not split files into segments, it only ignores files over this size.</p>

y/e/d&gt; </code></pre>
<h3 id="fast-list-1">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h3 id="update-and---use-server-modtime">--update and --use-server-modtime</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the remote is sufficient to determine if it is &quot;dirty&quot;. By using <code>--update</code> along with <code>--use-server-modtime</code>, you can avoid the extra API call and simply upload files whose local modtime is newer than the time it was last uploaded.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time">Modified time</h3>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Amz-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.</p>
<h3 id="multipart-uploads">Multipart uploads</h3>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can upload files bigger than 5GB.</p>
<p>Note that files uploaded <em>both</em> with multipart upload <em>and</em> through crypt remotes do not have MD5 sums.</p>
<p>Rclone switches from single part uploads to multipart uploads at the point specified by <code>--s3-upload-cutoff</code>. This can be a maximum of 5GB and a minimum of 0 (ie always upload mulipart files).</p>
<p>The chunk sizes used in the multipart upload are specified by <code>--s3-chunk-size</code> and the number of chunks uploaded concurrently is specified by <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code>.</p>
<p>Multipart uploads will use <code>--transfers</code> * <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code> * <code>--s3-chunk-size</code> extra memory. Single part uploads to not use extra memory.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Increasing <code>--s3-upload-concurrency</code> will increase throughput (8 would be a sensible value) and increasing <code>--s3-chunk-size</code> also increases througput (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.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="buckets-and-regions">Buckets and Regions</h3>
<p>With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (<code>rclone lsd</code>) 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, <code>incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX' region</code>.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="authentication-4">Authentication</h3>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>There are a number of ways to supply <code>rclone</code> with a set of AWS credentials, with and without using the environment.</p>
<p>The different authentication methods are tried in this order:</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<ul>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<li>Directly in the rclone configuration file (<code>env_auth = false</code> in the config file):</li>
<li><code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code> are required.</li>
<li><code>session_token</code> can be optionally set when using AWS STS.</li>
<li>Runtime configuration (<code>env_auth = true</code> in the config file):</li>
<li>Export the following environment variables before running <code>rclone</code>:
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<ul>
<li>Access Key ID: <code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID</code> or <code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY</code></li>
<li>Secret Access Key: <code>AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY</code> or <code>AWS_SECRET_KEY</code></li>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<li>Session Token: <code>AWS_SESSION_TOKEN</code> (optional)</li>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
</ul></li>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<li>Or, use a <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-multiple-profiles.html">named profile</a>:
<ul>
<li>Profile files are standard files used by AWS CLI tools</li>
<li>By default it will use the profile in your home directory (eg <code>~/.aws/credentials</code> on unix based systems) file and the &quot;default&quot; profile, to change set these environment variables:
<ul>
<li><code>AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE</code> to control which file.</li>
<li><code>AWS_PROFILE</code> to control which profile to use.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Or, run <code>rclone</code> in an ECS task with an IAM role (AWS only).</li>
<li>Or, run <code>rclone</code> on an EC2 instance with an IAM role (AWS only).</li>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
</ul>
<p>If none of these option actually end up providing <code>rclone</code> with AWS credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).</p>
<h3 id="s3-permissions">S3 Permissions</h3>
<p>When using the <code>sync</code> subcommand of <code>rclone</code> the following minimum permissions are required to be available on the bucket being written to:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ListBucket</code></li>
<li><code>DeleteObject</code></li>
<li><code>GetObject</code></li>
<li><code>PutObject</code></li>
<li><code>PutObjectACL</code></li>
</ul>

&quot;Version&quot;: &quot;2012-10-17&quot;,
&quot;Statement&quot;: [
{
&quot;Effect&quot;: &quot;Allow&quot;,
&quot;Principal&quot;: {
&quot;AWS&quot;: &quot;arn:aws:iam::USER_SID:user/USER_NAME&quot;
},
&quot;Action&quot;: [
&quot;s3:ListBucket&quot;,
&quot;s3:DeleteObject&quot;,
&quot;s3:GetObject&quot;,
&quot;s3:PutObject&quot;,
&quot;s3:PutObjectAcl&quot;
],
&quot;Resource&quot;: [
&quot;arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*&quot;,
&quot;arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME&quot;
]
}
]
}</code></pre>
<p>Notes on above:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>This is a policy that can be used when creating bucket. It assumes that <code>USER_NAME</code> has been created.</li>
<li>The Resource entry must include both resource ARNs, as one implies the bucket and the other implies the bucket's objects.</li>
</ol>
<p>For reference, <a href="https://gist.github.com/ebridges/ebfc9042dd7c756cd101cfa807b7ae2b">here's an Ansible script</a> that will generate one or more buckets that will work with <code>rclone sync</code>.</p>

<h3 id="key-management-system-kms">Key Management System (KMS)</h3>
<p>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 <code>--ignore-checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>A proper fix is being worked on in <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1824">issue #1824</a>.</p>

<h3 id="glacier">Glacier</h3>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>You can upload objects using the glacier storage class or transition them to glacier using a <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/create-lifecycle.html">lifecycle policy</a>. 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.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<pre><code>2017/09/11 19:07:43 Failed to sync: failed to open source object: Object in GLACIER, restore first: path/to/file</code></pre>
<p>In this case you need to <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/restore-archived-objects.html">restore</a> the object(s) in question before using rclone.</p>

<h3 id="anonymous-access-to-public-buckets">Anonymous access to public buckets</h3>
<p>If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a blank <code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code>. Your config should end up looking like this:</p>
<pre><code>[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 = </code></pre>
<p>Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes</code></pre>
<p>You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.</p>
<h3 id="ceph">Ceph</h3>
<p><a href="https://ceph.com/">Ceph</a> is an open source unified, distributed storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability and scalability. It has an S3 compatible object storage interface.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>[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 =</code></pre>
<p>Note also that Ceph sometimes puts <code>/</code> 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 <code>/</code> escaped as <code>\/</code>. Make sure you only write <code>/</code> in the secret access key.</p>
<p>Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys removed).</p>
<pre><code>{
&quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;xxx&quot;,
&quot;display_name&quot;: &quot;xxxx&quot;,
&quot;keys&quot;: [
{
&quot;user&quot;: &quot;xxx&quot;,
&quot;access_key&quot;: &quot;xxxxxx&quot;,
&quot;secret_key&quot;: &quot;xxxxxx\/xxxx&quot;
}
],
}</code></pre>
<p>Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the <code>/</code> as <code>\/</code>, so if you use the secret key as <code>xxxxxx/xxxx</code> it will work fine.</p>
<h3 id="dreamhost">Dreamhost</h3>
<p>Dreamhost <a href="https://www.dreamhost.com/cloud/storage/">DreamObjects</a> is an object storage system based on CEPH.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>[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 =</code></pre>
<h3 id="digitalocean-spaces">DigitalOcean Spaces</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/products/object-storage/">Spaces</a> is an <a href="https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/spaces/">S3-interoperable</a> object storage service from cloud provider DigitalOcean.</p>
<p>To connect to DigitalOcean Spaces you will need an access key and secret key. These can be retrieved on the &quot;<a href="https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens">Applications &amp; API</a>&quot; page of the DigitalOcean control panel. They will be needed when promted by <code>rclone config</code> for your <code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code>.</p>
<p>When prompted for a <code>region</code> or <code>location_constraint</code>, press enter to use the default value. The region must be included in the <code>endpoint</code> setting (e.g. <code>nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com</code>). The defualt values can be used for other settings.</p>
<p>Going through the whole process of creating a new remote by running <code>rclone config</code>, each prompt should be answered as shown below:</p>
<pre><code>Storage&gt; s3
env_auth&gt; 1
access_key_id&gt; YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key&gt; YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region&gt;
endpoint&gt; nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
location_constraint&gt;
acl&gt;
storage_class&gt;</code></pre>
<p>The resulting configuration file should look like:</p>
<pre><code>[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 =</code></pre>
<p>Once configured, you can create a new Space and begin copying files. For example:</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir spaces:my-new-space
rclone copy /path/to/files spaces:my-new-space</code></pre>
<h3 id="ibm-cos-s3">IBM COS (S3)</h3>

<h3 id="application-keys">Application Keys</h3>
<p>B2 supports multiple <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/application_keys.html">Application Keys for different access permission to B2 Buckets</a>.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>You can use these with rclone too; you will need to use rclone version 1.43 or later.</p>
<p>Follow Backblaze's docs to create an Application Key with the required permission and add the <code>applicationKeyId</code> as the <code>account</code> and the <code>Application Key</code> itself as the <code>key</code>.</p>
<p>Note that you must put the <em>applicationKeyId</em> as the <code>account</code> you can't use the master Account ID. If you try then B2 will return 401 errors.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="fast-list-2">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
<h3 id="modified-time-1">Modified time</h3>
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis</code> as milliseconds since 1970-01-01 in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as a modified time.</p>
<p>Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in the case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In this case the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn't have an API method to set the modification time independent of doing an upload.</p>
<h3 id="sha1-checksums">SHA1 checksums</h3>
<p>The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and will be used in the syncing process.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Large files (bigger than the limit in <code>--b2-upload-cutoff</code>) which are uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the object as <code>X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1</code> as recommended by Backblaze.</p>
<p>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 <a href="/overview/#features">the overview</a> for exactly which remotes support SHA1.</p>
<p>Sources which don't support SHA1, in particular <code>crypt</code> will upload large files without SHA1 checksums. This may be fixed in the future (see <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1767">#1767</a>).</p>
<p>Files sizes below <code>--b2-upload-cutoff</code> will always have an SHA1 regardless of the source.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="transfers">Transfers</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equipped laptop the optimum setting is about <code>--transfers 32</code> 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 <code>--transfers 4</code> is definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>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 <code>--transfers</code> of these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory used.</p>
<h3 id="versions">Versions</h3>
<p>When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html">new version of it</a>. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden and still be available. Conversely, you may opt in to a &quot;hard delete&quot; of files with the <code>--b2-hard-delete</code> flag which would permanently remove the file instead of hiding it.</p>
<p>Old versions of files, where available, are visible using the <code>--b2-versions</code> flag.</p>
<p>If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket</code> 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 <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff</code>.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Note that <code>cleanup</code> will remove partially uploaded files from the bucket if they are more than a day old.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>When you <code>purge</code> a bucket, the current and the old versions will be deleted then the bucket will be deleted.</p>
<p>However <code>delete</code> will cause the current versions of the files to become hidden old versions.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Here is a session showing the listing and retrieval of an old version followed by a <code>cleanup</code> of the old versions.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Show current version and all the versions with <code>--b2-versions</code> flag.</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test

<pre><code>$ rclone -q cleanup b2:cleanup-test
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt</code></pre>
<h3 id="data-usage">Data usage</h3>
<p>It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in different scenarios.</p>
<p>All copy commands send the following 4 requests:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_authorize_account
/b2api/v1/b2_create_bucket
/b2api/v1/b2_list_buckets
/b2api/v1/b2_list_file_names</code></pre>
<p>The <code>b2_list_file_names</code> 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 <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/818">#818</a> 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.</p>
<p>Uploading files that do not require chunking, will send 2 requests per file upload:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/</code></pre>
<p>Uploading files requiring chunking, will send 2 requests (one each to start and finish the upload) and another 2 requests for each chunk:</p>
<pre><code>/b2api/v1/b2_start_large_file
/b2api/v1/b2_get_upload_part_url
/b2api/v1/b2_upload_part/
/b2api/v1/b2_finish_large_file</code></pre>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h4 id="versions-1">Versions</h4>
<p>Versions can be viewd with the <code>--b2-versions</code> flag. When it is set rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For example</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Listing without <code>--b2-versions</code></p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt</code></pre>
<p>And with</p>
<pre><code>$ 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</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Note that when using <code>--b2-versions</code> no file write operations are permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.</p>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p>
<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>

<h3 id="using-rclone-with-an-enterprise-account-with-sso">Using rclone with an Enterprise account with SSO</h3>
<p>If you have an &quot;Enterprise&quot; 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, &quot;Account&quot; Tab, and then set the password in the &quot;Authentication&quot; field.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3 id="invalid-refresh-token">Invalid refresh token</h3>
<p>According to the <a href="https://developer.box.com/v2.0/docs/oauth-20#section-6-using-the-access-and-refresh-tokens">box docs</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Each refresh_token is valid for one use in 60 days.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This means that if you</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't use the box remote for 60 days</li>
<li>Copy the config file with a box refresh token in and use it in two places</li>
<li>Get an error on a token refresh</li>
</ul>
<p>then rclone will return an error which includes the text <code>Invalid refresh token</code>.</p>
<p>To fix this you will need to use oauth2 again to update the refresh token. You can use the methods in <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">the remote setup docs</a>, 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.</p>

<h3 id="write-features">Write Features</h3>
<h3 id="offline-uploading">Offline uploading</h3>
<p>In an effort to make writing through cache more reliable, the backend now supports this feature which can be activated by specifying a <code>cache-tmp-upload-path</code>.</p>
<p>A files goes through these states when using this feature:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>An upload is started (usually by copying a file on the cache remote)</li>
<li>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)</li>
<li>After <code>cache-tmp-wait-time</code> passes and the file is next in line, <code>rclone move</code> is used to move the file to the cloud provider</li>
<li>Reading the file still works during the upload but most modifications on it will be prohibited</li>
<li>Once the move is complete the file is unlocked for modifications as it becomes as any other regular file</li>
<li>If the file is being read through <code>cache</code> when it's actually deleted from the temporary path then <code>cache</code> will simply swap the source to the cloud provider without interrupting the reading (small blip can happen though)</li>
</ol>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>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 <code>--cache-db-purge</code> flag.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="write-support">Write Support</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Writes are supported through <code>cache</code>. 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 <code>Offline uploading</code> for reliable writes.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>One special case is covered with <code>cache-writes</code> 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.</p>
<h3 id="read-features">Read Features</h3>
<h4 id="multiple-connections">Multiple connections</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4 id="plex-integration">Plex Integration</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Scans will have a minimum amount of workers (1) while in a confirmed playback cache will deploy the configured number of workers.</p>
<p>This integration opens the doorway to additional performance improvements which will be explored in the near future.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If Plex options are not configured, <code>cache</code> will function with its configured options without adapting any of its settings.</p>
<p>How to enable? Run <code>rclone config</code> and add all the Plex options (endpoint, username and password) in your remote and it will be automatically enabled.</p>
<p>Affected settings: - <code>cache-workers</code>: <em>Configured value</em> during confirmed playback or <em>1</em> all the other times</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h5 id="certificate-validation">Certificate Validation</h5>
<p>When the Plex server is configured to only accept secure connections, it is possible to use <code>.plex.direct</code> URL's to ensure certificate validation succeeds. These URL's are used by Plex internally to connect to the Plex server securely.</p>
<p>The format for this URL's is the following:</p>
<p>https://ip-with-dots-replaced.server-hash.plex.direct:32400/</p>
<p>The <code>ip-with-dots-replaced</code> part can be any IPv4 address, where the dots have been replaced with dashes, e.g. <code>127.0.0.1</code> becomes <code>127-0-0-1</code>.</p>
<p>To get the <code>server-hash</code> part, the easiest way is to visit</p>
<p>https://plex.tv/api/resources?includeHttps=1&amp;X-Plex-Token=your-plex-token</p>
<p>This page will list all the available Plex servers for your account with at least one <code>.plex.direct</code> link for each. Copy one URL and replace the IP address with the desired address. This can be used as the <code>plex_url</code> value.</p>

2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h4 id="mount-and---dir-cache-time">Mount and --dir-cache-time</h4>
<p>--dir-cache-time controls the first layer of directory caching which works at the mount layer. Being an independent caching mechanism from the <code>cache</code> backend, it will manage its own entries based on the configured time.</p>
<p>To avoid getting in a scenario where dir cache has obsolete data and cache would have the correct one, try to set <code>--dir-cache-time</code> to a lower time than <code>--cache-info-age</code>. Default values are already configured in this way.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h4 id="windows-support---experimental">Windows support - Experimental</h4>
<p>There are a couple of issues with Windows <code>mount</code> functionality that still require some investigations. It should be considered as experimental thus far as fixes come in for this OS.</p>
<p>Most of the issues seem to be related to the difference between filesystems on Linux flavors and Windows as cache is heavily dependant on them.</p>
<p>Any reports or feedback on how cache behaves on this OS is greatly appreciated.</p>

</ul>
<h4 id="risk-of-throttling">Risk of throttling</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Some recommendations: - don't use a very small interval for entry informations (<code>--cache-info-age</code>) - while writes aren't yet optimised, you can still write through <code>cache</code> which gives you the advantage of adding the file in the cache at the same time if configured to do so.</p>
<p>Future enhancements:</p>
<ul>
<li>https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1937</li>
<li>https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1936</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-and-crypt">cache and crypt</h4>
<p>One common scenario is to keep your data encrypted in the cloud provider using the <code>crypt</code> remote. <code>crypt</code> uses a similar technique to wrap around an existing remote and handles this translation in a seamless way.</p>
<p>There is an issue with wrapping the remotes in this order: <span style="color:red"><strong>cloud remote</strong> -&gt; <strong>crypt</strong> -&gt; <strong>cache</strong></span></p>
<p>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 yelds better results: <span style="color:green"><strong>cloud remote</strong> -&gt; <strong>cache</strong> -&gt; <strong>crypt</strong></span></p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h4 id="absolute-remote-paths">absolute remote paths</h4>
<p><code>cache</code> can not differentiate between relative and absolute paths for the wrapped remote. Any path given in the <code>remote</code> 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 <code>/</code> character.</p>
<p>This behavior is irrelevant for most backend types, but there are backends where a leading <code>/</code> changes the effective directory, e.g. in the <code>sftp</code> backend paths starting with a <code>/</code> are relative to the root of the SSH server and paths without are relative to the user home directory. As a result <code>sftp:bin</code> and <code>sftp:/bin</code> will share the same cache folder, even if they represent a different directory on the SSH server.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h3 id="cache-and-remote-control---rc">Cache and Remote Control (--rc)</h3>
<p>Cache supports the new <code>--rc</code> 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Directory to cache chunk files.</p>
<p>Path to where partial file data (chunks) are stored locally. The remote name is appended to the final path.</p>
<p>This config follows the &quot;--cache-db-path&quot;. If you specify a custom location for &quot;--cache-db-path&quot; and don't specify one for &quot;--cache-chunk-path&quot; then &quot;--cache-chunk-path&quot; will use the same path as &quot;--cache-db-path&quot;.</p>

<h4 id="cache-chunk-clean-interval">--cache-chunk-clean-interval</h4>
<p>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 &quot;cache-chunk-total-size&quot; too often then try to lower this value to force it to perform cleanups more often.</p>

<h4 id="cache-read-retries">--cache-read-retries</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>How many times to retry a read from a cache storage.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>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.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>For really slow connections, increase this to a point where the stream is able to provide data but your experience will be very stuttering.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<ul>
<li>Config: read_retries</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_READ_RETRIES</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 10</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-workers">--cache-workers</h4>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>How many workers should run in parallel to download chunks.</p>
<p>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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p><strong>Note</strong>: 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.</p>

<li>Config: workers</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_WORKERS</li>
<li>Type: int</li>
<li>Default: 4</li>

<h4 id="cache-chunk-no-memory">--cache-chunk-no-memory</h4>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>Disable the in-memory cache for storing chunks during streaming.</p>
<p>By default, cache will keep file data during streaming in RAM as well to provide it to readers as fast as possible.</p>
<p>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 &quot;cache-chunk-size&quot; and &quot;cache-workers&quot; this footprint can increase if there are parallel streams too (multiple files being read at the same time).</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<ul>
<li>Config: chunk_no_memory</li>
<li>Env Var: RCLONE_CACHE_CHUNK_NO_MEMORY</li>
<li>Type: bool</li>
<li>Default: false</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="cache-rps">--cache-rps</h4>
<p>Limits the number of requests per second to the source FS (-1 to disable)</p>
<p>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 respect that value by setting waits between reads.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If you find that you're getting banned or limited on the cloud provider through cache and know that a smaller number of requests per second will allow you to work with it then you can use this setting for that.</p>
<p>A good balance of all the other settings should make this setting useless but it is available to set for more special cases.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: This will limit the number of requests during streams but other API calls to the cloud provider like directory listings will still pass.</p>

<h4 id="cache-writes">--cache-writes</h4>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>Cache file data on writes through the FS</p>
<p>If you need to read files immediately after you upload them through cache you can enable this flag to have their data stored in the cache store at the same time during upload.</p>

<p>How long should files be stored in local cache before being uploaded</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>This is the duration that a file must wait in the temporary location <em>cache-tmp-upload-path</em> before it is selected for upload.</p>
<p>Note that only one file is uploaded at a time and it can take longer to start the upload if a queue formed for this purpose.</p>

<p>How long to wait for the DB to be available - 0 is unlimited</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Only one process can have the DB open at any one time, so rclone waits for this duration for the DB to become available before it gives an error.</p>

<h2 id="crypt">Crypt</h2>
<p>The <code>crypt</code> remote encrypts and decrypts another remote.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it <code>remote:path</code> in these docs. Note that anything inside <code>remote:path</code> 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 <code>s3:bucket</code>. If you just use <code>s3:</code> then rclone will make encrypted bucket names too (if using file name encryption) which may or may not be what you want.</p>
<p>Now configure <code>crypt</code> using <code>rclone config</code>. We will call this one <code>secret</code> to differentiate it from the <code>remote</code>.</p>

<p><strong>Important</strong> 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.</p>
<p>A long passphrase is recommended, or you can use a random one. Note that if you reconfigure rclone with the same passwords/passphrases elsewhere it will be compatible - all the secrets used are derived from those two passwords/passphrases.</p>
<p>Note that rclone does not encrypt</p>
<ul>
<li>file length - this can be calcuated within 16 bytes</li>
<li>modification time - used for syncing</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="specifying-the-remote">Specifying the remote</h2>
<p>In normal use, make sure the remote has a <code>:</code> in. If you specify the remote without a <code>:</code> then rclone will use a local directory of that name. So if you use a remote of <code>/path/to/secret/files</code> then rclone will encrypt stuff to that directory. If you use a remote of <code>name</code> then rclone will put files in a directory called <code>name</code> in the current directory.</p>
<p>If you specify the remote as <code>remote:path/to/dir</code> then rclone will store encrypted files in <code>path/to/dir</code> on the remote. If you are using file name encryption, then when you save files to <code>secret:subdir/subfile</code> this will store them in the unencrypted path <code>path/to/dir</code> but the <code>subdir/subpath</code> bit will be encrypted.</p>
<p>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 <code>remote:secretbucket</code> when using bucket based remotes such as S3, Swift, Hubic, B2, GCS.</p>
<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
<p>To test I made a little directory of files using &quot;standard&quot; file name encryption.</p>
<pre><code>plaintext/
├── file0.txt
├── file1.txt
└── subdir
├── file2.txt
├── file3.txt
└── subsubdir
└── file4.txt</code></pre>
<p>Copy these to the remote and list them back</p>
<pre><code>$ 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</code></pre>
<p>Now see what that looked like when encrypted</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls remote:path
55 hagjclgavj2mbiqm6u6cnjjqcg
54 v05749mltvv1tf4onltun46gls
57 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/dlj7fkq4kdq72emafg7a7s41uo

56 86vhrsv86mpbtd3a0akjuqslj8/8njh1sk437gttmep3p70g81aps</code></pre>
<p>Note that this retains the directory structure which means you can do this</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls secret:subdir
8 file2.txt
9 file3.txt
10 subsubdir/file4.txt</code></pre>
<p>If don't use file name encryption then the remote will look like this - note the <code>.bin</code> extensions added to prevent the cloud provider attempting to interpret the data.</p>
<pre><code>$ 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

<h3 id="file-name-encryption-modes">File name encryption modes</h3>
<p>Here are some of the features of the file name encryption modes</p>
<p>Off</p>
<ul>
<li>doesn't hide file names or directory structure</li>
<li>allows for longer file names (~246 characters)</li>
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
</ul>
<p>Standard</p>
<ul>
<li>file names encrypted</li>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<li>file names can't be as long (~143 characters)</li>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<li>directory structure visible</li>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<li>identical files names will have identical uploaded names</li>
<li>can use shortcuts to shorten the directory recursion</li>
</ul>
<p>Obfuscation</p>
<p>This is a simple &quot;rotate&quot; 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 &quot;hello&quot; may become &quot;53.jgnnq&quot;</p>
<p>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 &quot;off&quot; and &quot;standard&quot;. The advantage is that it allows for longer path segment names.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li>file names very lightly obfuscated</li>
<li>file names can be longer than standard encryption</li>
<li>can use sub paths and copy single files</li>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<li>directory structure visible</li>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<li>identical files names will have identical uploaded names</li>
</ul>
<p>Cloud storage systems have various limits on file name length and total path length which you are more likely to hit using &quot;Standard&quot; file name encryption. If you keep your file names to below 156 characters in length then you should be OK on all providers.</p>
<p>There may be an even more secure file name encryption mode in the future which will address the long file name problem.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="directory-name-encryption">Directory name encryption</h3>
<p>Crypt offers the option of encrypting dir names or leaving them intact. There are two options:</p>
<p>True</p>
<p>Encrypts the whole file path including directory names Example: <code>1/12/123.txt</code> is encrypted to <code>p0e52nreeaj0a5ea7s64m4j72s/l42g6771hnv3an9cgc8cr2n1ng/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0</code></p>
<p>False</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Only encrypts file names, skips directory names Example: <code>1/12/123.txt</code> is encrypted to <code>1/12/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0</code></p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time-and-hashes-1">Modified time and hashes</h3>
<p>Crypt stores modification times using the underlying remote so support depends on that.</p>
<p>Hashes are not stored for crypt. However the data integrity is protected by an extremely strong crypto authenticator.</p>
<p>Note that you should use the <code>rclone cryptcheck</code> command to check the integrity of a crypted remote instead of <code>rclone check</code> which can't check the checksums properly.</p>

<h2 id="backing-up-a-crypted-remote">Backing up a crypted remote</h2>
<p>If you wish to backup a crypted remote, it it recommended that you use <code>rclone sync</code> on the encrypted files, and make sure the passwords are the same in the new encrypted remote.</p>
<p>This will have the following advantages</p>
<ul>
<li><code>rclone sync</code> will check the checksums while copying</li>
<li>you can use <code>rclone check</code> between the encrypted remotes</li>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<li>you don't decrypt and encrypt unnecessarily</li>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
</ul>
<p>For example, let's say you have your original remote at <code>remote:</code> with the encrypted version at <code>eremote:</code> with path <code>remote:crypt</code>. You would then set up the new remote <code>remote2:</code> and then the encrypted version <code>eremote2:</code> with path <code>remote2:crypt</code> using the same passwords as <code>eremote:</code>.</p>
<p>To sync the two remotes you would do</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync remote:crypt remote2:crypt</code></pre>
<p>And to check the integrity you would do</p>
<pre><code>rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt</code></pre>
<h2 id="file-formats">File formats</h2>
<h3 id="file-encryption">File encryption</h3>
<p>Files are encrypted 1:1 source file to destination object. The file has a header and is divided into chunks.</p>
<h4 id="header">Header</h4>
<ul>
<li>8 bytes magic string <code>RCLONE\x00\x00</code></li>
<li>24 bytes Nonce (IV)</li>
</ul>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h4 id="chunk">Chunk</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Each chunk contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>16 Bytes of Poly1305 authenticator</li>
<li>1 - 65536 bytes XSalsa20 encrypted data</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This uses a 32 byte (256 bit key) key derived from the user password.</p>
<h4 id="examples">Examples</h4>
<p>1 byte file will encrypt to</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<ul>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<li>32 bytes header</li>
<li>17 bytes data chunk</li>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
</ul>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>49 bytes total</p>
<p>1MB (1048576 bytes) file will encrypt to</p>
<ul>
<li>32 bytes header</li>
<li>16 chunks of 65568 bytes</li>
</ul>
<p>1049120 bytes total (a 0.05% overhead). This is the overhead for big files.</p>
<h3 id="name-encryption">Name encryption</h3>
<p>File names are encrypted segment by segment - the path is broken up into <code>/</code> separated strings and these are encrypted individually.</p>
<p>File segments are padded using using PKCS#7 to a multiple of 16 bytes before encryption.</p>
<p>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 &quot;A Parallelizable Enciphering Mode&quot; by Halevi and Rogaway.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>This means that</p>
<ul>
<li>filenames with the same name will encrypt the same</li>
<li>filenames which start the same won't have a common prefix</li>
</ul>
<p>This uses a 32 byte key (256 bits) and a 16 byte (128 bits) IV both of which are derived from the user password.</p>
<p>After encryption they are written out using a modified version of standard <code>base32</code> encoding as described in RFC4648. The standard encoding is modified in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>it becomes lower case (no-one likes upper case filenames!)</li>
<li>we strip the padding character <code>=</code></li>
</ul>
<p><code>base32</code> is used rather than the more efficient <code>base64</code> so rclone can be used on case insensitive remotes (eg Windows, Amazon Drive).</p>
<h3 id="key-derivation">Key derivation</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Rclone uses <code>scrypt</code> with parameters <code>N=16384, r=8, p=1</code> 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.</p>
<p><code>scrypt</code> makes it impractical to mount a dictionary attack on rclone encrypted data. For full protection against this you should always use a salt.</p>

<h2 id="dropbox">Dropbox</h2>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code></p>
<p>Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg <code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called <code>remote</code>. First run:</p>

<h3 id="dropbox-for-business">Dropbox for business</h3>
<p>Rclone supports Dropbox for business and Team Folders.</p>
<p>When using Dropbox for business <code>remote:</code> and <code>remote:path/to/file</code> will refer to your personal folder.</p>
<p>If you wish to see Team Folders you must use a leading <code>/</code> in the path, so <code>rclone lsd remote:/</code> will refer to the root and show you all Team Folders and your User Folder.</p>
<p>You can then use team folders like this <code>remote:/TeamFolder</code> and <code>remote:/TeamFolder/path/to/file</code>.</p>
<p>A leading <code>/</code> for a Dropbox personal account will do nothing, but it will take an extra HTTP transaction so it should be avoided.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time-and-hashes-2">Modified time and Hashes</h3>
<p>Dropbox supports modified times, but the only way to set a modification time is to re-upload the file.</p>
<p>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 <code>--size-only</code> or <code>--checksum</code> flag to stop it.</p>

2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>There are some file names such as <code>thumbs.db</code> which Dropbox can't store. There is a full list of them in the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145">&quot;Ignored Files&quot; section of this document</a>. Rclone will issue an error message <code>File name disallowed - not uploading</code> if it attempts to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.</p>
<p>If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then <code>rclone purge dropbox:dir</code> will return the error <code>Failed to purge: There are too many files involved in this operation</code>. As a work-around do an <code>rclone delete dropbox:dir</code> followed by an <code>rclone rmdir dropbox:dir</code>.</p>

<h3 id="service-account-support">Service Account support</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To get credentials for Google Cloud Platform <a href="https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts">IAM Service Accounts</a>, please head to the <a href="https://console.cloud.google.com/permissions/serviceaccounts">Service Account</a> section of the Google Developer Console. Service Accounts behave just like normal <code>User</code> permissions in <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control">Google Cloud Storage ACLs</a>, 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.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path to your Service Account credentials at the <code>service_account_file</code> 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 <code>service_account_credentials</code> with the actual contents of the file instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>
<h3 id="fast-list-3">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="modified-time-3">Modified time</h3>
<p>Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores modification times as metadata on the object, under the &quot;mtime&quot; key in RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.</p>

<p>Paths are specified as <code>drive:path</code></p>
<p>Drive paths may be as deep as required, eg <code>drive:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>The initial setup for drive involves getting a token from Google drive which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called <code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>
<pre><code>No remotes found - make a new one

<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual mode.</p>
<p>You can then use it like this,</p>
<p>List directories in top level of your drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>List all the files in your drive</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>

<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h3 id="scopes">Scopes</h3>
<p>Rclone allows you to select which scope you would like for rclone to use. This changes what type of token is granted to rclone. <a href="https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/about-auth">The scopes are defined here.</a>.</p>
<p>The scope are</p>
<h4 id="drive">drive</h4>
<p>This is the default scope and allows full access to all files, except for the Application Data Folder (see below).</p>
<p>Choose this one if you aren't sure.</p>
<h4 id="drive.readonly">drive.readonly</h4>
<p>This allows read only access to all files. Files may be listed and downloaded but not uploaded, renamed or deleted.</p>
<h4 id="drive.file">drive.file</h4>
<p>With this scope rclone can read/view/modify only those files and folders it creates.</p>
<p>So if you uploaded files to drive via the web interface (or any other means) they will not be visible to rclone.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Files created with this scope are visible in the web interface.</p>
<h4 id="drive.appfolder">drive.appfolder</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4 id="drive.metadata.readonly">drive.metadata.readonly</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="root-folder-id">Root folder ID</h3>
<p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the directory (identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone considers to be a the root of your drive.</p>
<p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the correct root to use itself.</p>
<p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder hierarchy or to access data within the &quot;Computers&quot; tab on the drive web interface (where files from Google's Backup and Sync desktop program go).</p>
<p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code> 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.</p>
<p>So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like <code>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh</code> in the browser, then you use <code>1XyfxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKHCh</code> as the <code>root_folder_id</code> in the config.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> folders under the &quot;Computers&quot; tab seem to be read only (drive gives a 500 error) when using rclone.</p>
<p>There doesn't appear to be an API to discover the folder IDs of the &quot;Computers&quot; tab - please contact us if you know otherwise!</p>
<p>Note also that rclone can't access any data under the &quot;Backups&quot; tab on the google drive web interface yet.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<h3 id="service-account-support-1">Service Account support</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path to your Service Account credentials at the <code>service_account_file</code> prompt during <code>rclone config</code> 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 <code>service_account_credentials</code> with the actual contents of the file instead, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>

<h4 id="use-case---google-appsg-suite-account-and-individual-drive">Use case - Google Apps/G-suite account and individual Drive</h4>
<p>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 <strong>example.com</strong>, and the user <strong>foo@example.com</strong>.</p>
<p>There's a few steps we need to go through to accomplish this:</p>
<h5 id="create-a-service-account-for-example.com">1. Create a service account for example.com</h5>
<ul>
<li>To create a service account and obtain its credentials, go to the <a href="https://console.developers.google.com">Google Developer Console</a>.</li>
<li>You must have a project - create one if you don't.</li>
<li>Then go to &quot;IAM &amp; admin&quot; -&gt; &quot;Service Accounts&quot;.</li>
<li>Use the &quot;Create Credentials&quot; button. Fill in &quot;Service account name&quot; with something that identifies your client. &quot;Role&quot; can be empty.</li>
<li>Tick &quot;Furnish a new private key&quot; - select &quot;Key type JSON&quot;.</li>
<li>Tick &quot;Enable G Suite Domain-wide Delegation&quot;. This option makes &quot;impersonation&quot; possible, as documented here: <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount#delegatingauthority">Delegating domain-wide authority to the service account</a></li>
<li>These credentials are what rclone will use for authentication. If you ever need to remove access, press the &quot;Delete service account key&quot; button.</li>
</ul>
<h5 id="allowing-api-access-to-example.com-google-drive">2. Allowing API access to example.com Google Drive</h5>
<ul>
<li>Go to example.com's admin console</li>
<li>Go into &quot;Security&quot; (or use the search bar)</li>
<li>Select &quot;Show more&quot; and then &quot;Advanced settings&quot;</li>
<li>Select &quot;Manage API client access&quot; in the &quot;Authentication&quot; section</li>
<li>In the &quot;Client Name&quot; field enter the service account's &quot;Client ID&quot; - this can be found in the Developer Console under &quot;IAM &amp; Admin&quot; -&gt; &quot;Service Accounts&quot;, then &quot;View Client ID&quot; for the newly created service account. It is a ~21 character numerical string.</li>
<li>In the next field, &quot;One or More API Scopes&quot;, enter <code>https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive</code> to grant access to Google Drive specifically.</li>
</ul>
<h5 id="configure-rclone-assuming-a-new-install">3. Configure rclone, assuming a new install</h5>

<ul>
<li><code>rclone -v --drive-impersonate foo@example.com lsf gdrive:backup</code></li>
<li>The arguments do:
<ul>
<li><code>-v</code> - verbose logging</li>
<li><code>--drive-impersonate foo@example.com</code> - this is what does the magic, pretending to be user foo.</li>
<li><code>lsf</code> - list files in a parsing friendly way</li>
<li><code>gdrive:backup</code> - use the remote called gdrive, work in the folder named backup.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<h3 id="team-drives">Team drives</h3>
<p>If you want to configure the remote to point to a Google Team Drive then answer <code>y</code> to the question <code>Configure this as a team drive?</code>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For example:</p>

<h3 id="fast-list-4">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
<p>It does this by combining multiple <code>list</code> calls into a single API request.</p>
<p>This works by combining many <code>'%s' in parents</code> filters into one expression. To list the contents of directories a, b and c, the the following requests will be send by the regular <code>List</code> function:</p>
<pre><code>trashed=false and &#39;a&#39; in parents
trashed=false and &#39;b&#39; in parents
trashed=false and &#39;c&#39; in parents</code></pre>
<p>These can now be combined into a single request:</p>
<pre><code>trashed=false and (&#39;a&#39; in parents or &#39;b&#39; in parents or &#39;c&#39; in parents)</code></pre>
<p>The implementation of <code>ListR</code> will put up to 50 <code>parents</code> filters into one request. It will use the <code>--checkers</code> value to specify the number of requests to run in parallel.</p>
<p>In tests, these batch requests were up to 20x faster than the regular method. Running the following command against different sized folders gives:</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsjson -vv -R --checkers=6 gdrive:folder</code></pre>
<p>small folder (220 directories, 700 files):</p>
<ul>
<li>without <code>--fast-list</code>: 38s</li>
<li>with <code>--fast-list</code>: 10s</li>
</ul>
<p>large folder (10600 directories, 39000 files):</p>
<ul>
<li>without <code>--fast-list</code>: 22:05 min</li>
<li>with <code>--fast-list</code>: 58s</li>
</ul>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time-4">Modified time</h3>
<p>Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.</p>
<h3 id="revisions">Revisions</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing was</p>
<ul>
<li>They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever comes first).</li>
<li>They do not count towards a user storage quota.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="deleting-files-2">Deleting files</h3>
<p>By default rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting files. If deleting them permanently is required then use the <code>--drive-use-trash=false</code> flag, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>
<h3 id="emptying-trash">Emptying trash</h3>
<p>If you wish to empty your trash you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:</code> command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command does not take any path arguments.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h3 id="quota-information">Quota information</h3>
<p>To view your current quota you can use the <code>rclone about remote:</code> 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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h4 id="importexport-of-google-documents">Import/Export of google documents</h4>
<p>Google documents can be exported from and uploaded to Google Drive.</p>
<p>When rclone downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download depending upon the <code>--drive-export-formats</code> setting. By default the export formats are <code>docx,xlsx,pptx,svg</code> which are a sensible default for an editable document.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>If you prefer an archive copy then you might use <code>--drive-export-formats pdf</code>, or if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use <code>--drive-export-formats ods,odt,odp</code>.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is calles <code>My Spreadsheet</code> on google docs, it will be exported as <code>My Spreadsheet.xlsx</code> or <code>My Spreadsheet.pdf</code> etc.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>When importing files into Google Drive, rclone will conververt all files with an extension in <code>--drive-import-formats</code> to their associated document type. rclone will not convert any files by default, since the conversion is lossy process.</p>
<p>The conversion must result in a file with the same extension when the <code>--drive-export-formats</code> rules are applied to the uploded document.</p>
<p>Here are some examples for allowed and prohibited conversions.</p>

<p>This limitation can be disabled by specifying <code>--drive-allow-import-name-change</code>. When using this flag, rclone can convert multiple files types resulting in the same document type at once, eg with <code>--drive-import-formats docx,odt,txt</code>, all files having these extension would result in a doument 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This list can be changed by Google Drive at any time and might not represent the currently available converions.</p>

<h3 id="limitations-5">Limitations</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <code>--disable copy</code> to download and upload the files if you prefer.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<h4 id="limitations-of-google-docs">Limitations of Google Docs</h4>
<p>Google docs will appear as size -1 in <code>rclone ls</code> and as size 0 in anything which uses the VFS layer, eg <code>rclone mount</code>, <code>rclone serve</code>.</p>
<p>This is because rclone can't find out the size of the Google docs without downloading them.</p>
<p>Google docs will transfer correctly with <code>rclone sync</code>, <code>rclone copy</code> etc as rclone knows to ignore the size when doing the transfer.</p>
<p>However an unfortunate consequence of this is that you can't download Google docs using <code>rclone mount</code> - you will get a 0 sized file. If you try again the doc may gain its correct size and be downloadable.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="duplicated-files">Duplicated files</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Duplicated files cause problems with the syncing and you will see messages in the log about duplicates.</p>
<p>Use <code>rclone dedupe</code> to fix duplicated files.</p>
<p>Note that this isn't just a problem with rclone, even Google Photos on Android duplicates files on drive sometimes.</p>
<h3 id="rclone-appears-to-be-re-copying-files-it-shouldnt">Rclone appears to be re-copying files it shouldn't</h3>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>The most likely cause of this is the duplicated file issue above - run <code>rclone dedupe</code> and check your logs for duplicate object or directory messages.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="making-your-own-client_id">Making your own client_id</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Here is how to create your own Google Drive client ID for rclone:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><p>Log into the <a href="https://console.developers.google.com/">Google API Console</a> 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)</p></li>
<li><p>Select a project or create a new project.</p></li>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<li><p>Under &quot;ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES&quot; search for &quot;Drive&quot;, and enable the then &quot;Google Drive API&quot;.</p></li>
<li><p>Click &quot;Credentials&quot; in the left-side panel (not &quot;Create credentials&quot;, which opens the wizard), then &quot;Create credentials&quot;, then &quot;OAuth client ID&quot;. It will prompt you to set the OAuth consent screen product name, if you haven't set one already.</p></li>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<li><p>Choose an application type of &quot;other&quot;, and click &quot;Create&quot;. (the default name is fine)</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>(Thanks to <span class="citation">@balazer</span> on github for these instructions.)</p>
<h2 id="http">HTTP</h2>
<p>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 servers. (If it doesn't then please file an issue, or send a pull request!)</p>
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:</code> or <code>remote:path/to/dir</code>.</p>

<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>

<h3 id="modified-time-6">Modified time</h3>
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Object-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.</p>

<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3 id="modified-time-and-hashes-3">Modified time and hashes</h3>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Jottacloud supports MD5 type hashes, so you can use the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
<p>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 <code>TMPDIR</code> environment variable points to) before it is uploaded. Small files will be cached in memory - see the <code>--jottacloud-md5-memory-limit</code> flag.</p>
<h3 id="deleting-files-3">Deleting files</h3>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>By default rclone will send all files to the trash when deleting files. Due to a lack of API documentation emptying the trash is currently only possible via the Jottacloud website. If deleting permanently is required then use the <code>--jottacloud-hard-delete</code> flag, or set the equivalent environment variable.</p>
<h3 id="versions-2">Versions</h3>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>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.</p>

<p>Note that Jottacloud is case insensitive so you can't have a file called &quot;Hello.doc&quot; and one called &quot;hello.doc&quot;.</p>
<p>There are quite a few characters that can't be in Jottacloud file names. 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.</p>
<p>Jottacloud only supports filenames up to 255 characters in length.</p>
<h3 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="mega">Mega</h2>
<p><a href="https://mega.nz/">Mega</a> is a cloud storage and file hosting service known for its security feature where all files are encrypted locally before they are uploaded.

<p>Use <code>rclone dedupe</code> to fix duplicated files.</p>

<h3 id="limitations-8">Limitations</h3>
<p>This backend uses the <a href="https://github.com/t3rm1n4l/go-mega">go-mega go library</a> which is an opensource go library implementing the Mega API. There doesn't appear to be any documentation for the mega protocol beyond the <a href="https://github.com/meganz/sdk">mega C++ SDK</a> source code so there are likely quite a few errors still remaining in this library.</p>
<p>Mega allows duplicate files which may confuse rclone.</p>

<h3 id="fast-list-7">--fast-list</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
<h3 id="modified-time-7">Modified time</h3>
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object with the <code>mtime</code> 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.</p>
<h3 id="hashes">Hashes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="authenticating-with-azure-blob-storage">Authenticating with Azure Blob Storage</h3>
<p>Rclone has 3 ways of authenticating with Azure Blob Storage:</p>
<h4 id="account-and-key">Account and Key</h4>
<p>This is the most straight forward and least flexible way. Just fill in the <code>account</code> and <code>key</code> lines and leave the rest blank.</p>
<h4 id="sas-url">SAS URL</h4>
<p>This can be an account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL</p>
<p>To use it leave <code>account</code>, <code>key</code> blank and fill in <code>sas_url</code>.</p>
<p>Account level SAS URL or container level SAS URL can be obtained from Azure portal or Azure Storage Explorer. To get a container level SAS URL right click on a container in the Azure Blob explorer in the Azure portal.</p>
<p>If You use container level SAS URL, rclone operations are permitted only on particular container, eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls azureblob:container or rclone ls azureblob:</code></pre>
<p>Since container name already exists in SAS URL, you can leave it empty as well.</p>
<p>However these will not work</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd azureblob:
rclone ls azureblob:othercontainer</code></pre>
<p>This would be useful for temporarily allowing third parties access to a single container or putting credentials into an untrusted environment.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="multipart-uploads-1">Multipart uploads</h3>
<p>Rclone supports multipart uploads with Azure Blob storage. Files bigger than 256MB will be uploaded using chunked upload by default.</p>
<p>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 <code>--transfers</code> of them being uploaded at once.</p>
<p>Files can't be split into more than 50,000 chunks so by default, so the 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 <code>--azureblob-chunk-size 100M</code>.</p>
<p>Note that rclone doesn't commit the block list until the end of the upload which means that there is a limit of 9.5TB of multipart uploads in progress as Azure won't allow more than that amount of uncommitted blocks.</p>

2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>

<h3 id="getting-your-own-client-id-and-key">Getting your own Client ID and Key</h3>
<p>rclone uses a pair of Client ID and Key shared by all rclone users when performing requests by default. 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:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>Open https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/#/appList, then click <code>Add an app</code> (Choose <code>Converged applications</code> if applicable)</li>
<li>Enter a name for your app, and click continue. Copy and keep the <code>Application Id</code> under the app name for later use.</li>
<li>Under section <code>Application Secrets</code>, click <code>Generate New Password</code>. Copy and keep that password for later use.</li>
<li>Under section <code>Platforms</code>, click <code>Add platform</code>, then <code>Web</code>. Enter <code>http://localhost:53682/</code> in <code>Redirect URLs</code>.</li>
<li>Under section <code>Microsoft Graph Permissions</code>, <code>Add</code> these <code>delegated permissions</code>: <code>Files.Read</code>, <code>Files.ReadWrite</code>, <code>Files.Read.All</code>, <code>Files.ReadWrite.All</code>, <code>offline_access</code>, <code>User.Read</code>.</li>
<li>Scroll to the bottom and click <code>Save</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now the application is complete. Run <code>rclone config</code> 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.</p>

<h3 id="limitations-10">Limitations</h3>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<p>Note that OneDrive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called &quot;Hello.doc&quot; and one called &quot;hello.doc&quot;.</p>
<p>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 they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a <code>?</code> in it will be mapped to <code></code> instead.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>The largest allowed file sizes are 15GB for OneDrive for Business and 35GB for OneDrive Personal (Updated 4 Jan 2019).</p>
<p>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.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>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 <code>couldnt list files: UnknownError:</code>. See <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2707">#2707</a> for more info.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>An official document about the limitations for different types of OneDrive can be found <a href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa">here</a>.</p>

<h3 id="versioning-issue">Versioning issue</h3>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<p>Every change in OneDrive causes the service to create a new version. This counts against a users quota. For example changing the modification time of a file creates a second version, so the file is using twice the space.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>The <code>copy</code> is the only rclone command affected by this as we copy the file and then afterwards set the modification time to match the source file.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Starting October 2018, users will no longer be able to disable versioning by default. This is because Microsoft has brought an <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-OneDrive-Blog/New-Updates-to-OneDrive-and-SharePoint-Team-Site-Versioning/ba-p/204390">update</a> 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:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><code>Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell</code> (in case you haven't installed this already)</li>
<li><code>Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking</code></li>
<li><code>Connect-SPOService -Url https://YOURSITE-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential YOU@YOURSITE.COM</code> (replacing <code>YOURSITE</code>, <code>YOU</code>, <code>YOURSITE.COM</code> with the actual values; this will prompt for your credentials)</li>
<li><code>Set-SPOTenant -EnableMinimumVersionRequirement $False</code></li>
<li><code>Disconnect-SPOService</code> (to disconnect from the server)</li>
</ol>
<p><em>Below are the steps for normal users to disable versioning. If you don't see the &quot;No Versioning&quot; option, make sure the above requirements are met.</em></p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>User <a href="https://github.com/Weropol">Weropol</a> has found a method to disable versioning on OneDrive</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>Open the settings menu by clicking on the gear symbol at the top of the OneDrive Business page.</li>
<li>Click Site settings.</li>
<li>Once on the Site settings page, navigate to Site Administration &gt; Site libraries and lists.</li>
<li>Click Customize &quot;Documents&quot;.</li>
<li>Click General Settings &gt; Versioning Settings.</li>
2018-06-16 19:21:09 +02:00
<li>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.</li>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<li>Apply the changes by clicking OK.</li>
<li>Use rclone to upload or modify files. (I also use the --no-update-modtime flag)</li>
<li>Restore the versioning settings after using rclone. (Optional)</li>
</ol>

<pre><code>Error: access_denied
Code: AADSTS65005
Description: Using application &#39;rclone&#39; 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.</code></pre>
<p>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 admins.</p>
<p>However, there are other ways to interact with your OneDrive account. Have a look at the webdav backend: https://rclone.org/webdav/#sharepoint</p>

<h3 id="configuration-from-an-openstack-credentials-file">Configuration from an Openstack credentials file</h3>
<p>An Opentstack credentials file typically looks something something like this (without the comments)</p>
<pre><code>export OS_AUTH_URL=https://a.provider.net/v2.0
export OS_TENANT_ID=ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
export OS_TENANT_NAME=&quot;1234567890123456&quot;
export OS_USERNAME=&quot;123abc567xy&quot;
echo &quot;Please enter your OpenStack Password: &quot;
read -sr OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_PASSWORD=$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_REGION_NAME=&quot;SBG1&quot;
if [ -z &quot;$OS_REGION_NAME&quot; ]; then unset OS_REGION_NAME; fi</code></pre>
<p>The config file needs to look something like this where <code>$OS_USERNAME</code> represents the value of the <code>OS_USERNAME</code> variable - <code>123abc567xy</code> in the example above.</p>
<pre><code>[remote]
type = swift
user = $OS_USERNAME
key = $OS_PASSWORD
auth = $OS_AUTH_URL
tenant = $OS_TENANT_NAME</code></pre>
<p>Note that you may (or may not) need to set <code>region</code> too - try without first.</p>
<h3 id="configuration-from-the-environment">Configuration from the environment</h3>
<p>If you prefer you can configure rclone to use swift using a standard set of OpenStack environment variables.</p>
<p>When you run through the config, make sure you choose <code>true</code> for <code>env_auth</code> and leave everything else blank.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>rclone will then set any empty config parameters from the environment using standard OpenStack environment variables. There is <a href="https://godoc.org/github.com/ncw/swift#Connection.ApplyEnvironment">a list of the variables</a> in the docs for the swift library.</p>
<h3 id="using-an-alternate-authentication-method">Using an alternate authentication method</h3>
<p>If your OpenStack installation uses a non-standard authentication method that might not be yet supported by rclone or the underlying swift library, you can authenticate externally (e.g. calling manually the <code>openstack</code> commands to get a token). Then, you just need to pass the two configuration variables <code>auth_token</code> and <code>storage_url</code>. 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.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h4 id="using-rclone-without-a-config-file">Using rclone without a config file</h4>
<p>You can use rclone with swift without a config file, if desired, like this:</p>
<pre><code>source openstack-credentials-file
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_TYPE=swift
export RCLONE_CONFIG_MYREMOTE_ENV_AUTH=true
rclone lsd myremote:</code></pre>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="fast-list-9">--fast-list</h3>
<p>This remote supports <code>--fast-list</code> which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the <a href="/docs/#fast-list">rclone docs</a> for more details.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<h3 id="update-and---use-server-modtime-1">--update and --use-server-modtime</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For many operations, the time the object was last uploaded to the remote is sufficient to determine if it is &quot;dirty&quot;. By using <code>--update</code> along with <code>--use-server-modtime</code>, you can avoid the extra API call and simply upload files whose local modtime is newer than the time it was last uploaded.</p>

<h4 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-for-remote-bad-request">Rclone gives Failed to create file system for &quot;remote:&quot;: Bad Request</h4>
<p>Due to an oddity of the underlying swift library, it gives a &quot;Bad Request&quot; error rather than a more sensible error when the authentication fails for Swift.</p>
<p>So this most likely means your username / password is wrong. You can investigate further with the <code>--dump-bodies</code> flag.</p>
<p>This may also be caused by specifying the region when you shouldn't have (eg OVH).</p>
<h4 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-response-didnt-have-storage-storage-url-and-auth-token">Rclone gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage storage url and auth token</h4>

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p>
<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>

2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>Paths are specified as <code>remote:path</code>. If the path does not begin with a <code>/</code> it is relative to the home directory of the user. An empty path <code>remote:</code> refers to the user's home directory.</p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00

<h3 id="ssh-authentication">SSH Authentication</h3>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>The SFTP remote supports three authentication methods:</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<ul>
<li>Password</li>
<li>Key file</li>
<li>ssh-agent</li>
</ul>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Key files should be PEM-encoded private key files. For instance <code>/home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa</code>. Only unencrypted OpenSSH or PEM encrypted files are supported.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If you don't specify <code>pass</code> or <code>key_file</code> then rclone will attempt to contact an ssh-agent.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>You can also specify <code>key_use_agent</code> to force the usage of an ssh-agent. In this case <code>key_file</code> can also be specified to force the usage of a specific key in the ssh-agent.</p>
<p>Using an ssh-agent is the only way to load encrypted OpenSSH keys at the moment.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>If you set the <code>--sftp-ask-password</code> option, rclone will prompt for a password when needed and no password has been configured.</p>
2017-07-22 19:16:46 +02:00
<h3 id="ssh-agent-on-macos">ssh-agent on macOS</h3>
<p>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</p>
<pre><code>eval `ssh-agent -s` &amp;&amp; ssh-add -A</code></pre>
<p>And then at the end of the session</p>
<pre><code>eval `ssh-agent -k`</code></pre>
<p>These commands can be used in scripts of course.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time-9">Modified time</h3>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Modified times are stored on the server to 1 second precision.</p>
<p>Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>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 <code>set_modtime = false</code> in your RClone backend configuration to disable this behaviour.</p>

<h3 id="limitations-13">Limitations</h3>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>SFTP supports checksums if the same login has shell access and <code>md5sum</code> or <code>sha1sum</code> as well as <code>echo</code> are in the remote's PATH. This remote 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 <code>disable_hashcheck</code> to <code>true</code> to disable checksumming.</p>
<p>Note that some SFTP servers (eg Synology) the paths are different for SSH and SFTP so the hashes can't be calculated properly. For them using <code>disable_hashcheck</code> is a good idea.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>The only ssh agent supported under Windows is Putty's pageant.</p>
<p>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 <code>use_insecure_cipher</code> setting in the configuration file to <code>true</code>. Further details on the insecurity of this cipher can be found [in this paper] (http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/SandPfinal.pdf).</p>

<p>SFTP isn't supported under plan9 until <a href="https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/156">this issue</a> is fixed.</p>
<p>Note that since SFTP isn't HTTP based the following flags don't work with it: <code>--dump-headers</code>, <code>--dump-bodies</code>, <code>--dump-auth</code></p>
<p>Note that <code>--timeout</code> isn't supported (but <code>--contimeout</code> is).</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h2 id="union">Union</h2>
<p>The <code>union</code> remote provides a unification similar to UnionFS using other remotes.</p>
<p>Paths may be as deep as required or a local path, eg <code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code> or <code>/directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>
<p>During the initial setup with <code>rclone config</code> you will specify the target remotes as a space separated list. The target remotes can either be a local paths or other remotes.</p>
<p>The order of the remotes is important as it defines which remotes take precedence over others if there are files with the same name in the same logical path. The last remote is the topmost remote and replaces files with the same name from previous remotes.</p>
<p>Only the last remote is used to write to and delete from, all other remotes are read-only.</p>
<p>Subfolders can be used in target remote. Asume a union remote named <code>backup</code> with the remotes <code>mydrive:private/backup mydrive2:/backup</code>. Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:desktop</code> is exactly the same as invoking <code>rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/desktop</code>.</p>
<p>There will be no special handling of paths containing <code>..</code> segments. Invoking <code>rclone mkdir backup:../desktop</code> is exactly the same as invoking <code>rclone mkdir mydrive2:/backup/../desktop</code>.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how to make a union called <code>remote</code> for local folders. First run:</p>
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<h3 id="sharepoint">Sharepoint</h3>
<p>Rclone can be used with Sharepoint provided by OneDrive for Business or 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 <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/1975">github#1975</a></p>
2018-04-28 12:46:27 +02:00
<p>This means that these accounts can't be added using the official API (other Accounts should work with the &quot;onedrive&quot; option). However, it is possible to access them using webdav.</p>
<p>To use a sharepoint remote with rclone, add it like this: First, you need to get your remote's URL:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go <a href="https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/signin/">here</a> to open your OneDrive or to sign in</li>
<li>Now take a look at your address bar, the URL should look like this: <code>https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx</code></li>
</ul>
<p>You'll only need this URL upto the email address. After that, you'll most likely want to add &quot;/Documents&quot;. That subdirectory contains the actual data stored on your OneDrive.</p>
<p>Add the remote to rclone like this: Configure the <code>url</code> as <code>https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents</code> and use your normal account email and password for <code>user</code> and <code>pass</code>. If you have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app password. Set the <code>vendor</code> to <code>sharepoint</code>.</p>
<p>Your config file should look like this:</p>
<pre><code>[sharepoint]
type = webdav
url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
vendor = other
user = YourEmailAddress
pass = encryptedpassword</code></pre>

2018-09-01 13:58:00 +02:00
<p>Configure as normal using the <code>other</code> type. Don't enter a username or password, instead enter your Macaroon as the <code>bearer_token</code>.</p>
<p>The config will end up looking something like this.</p>
<pre><code>[dcache]

<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p>
<p>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 <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
<p>See top level directories</p>
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
<p>Make a new directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:directory</code></pre>
<p>List the contents of a directory</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:directory</code></pre>
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/directory</code> to the remote path, deleting any excess files in the path.</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:directory</code></pre>
<h3 id="modified-time-10">Modified time</h3>
<p>Modified times are supported and are stored accurate to 1 ns in custom metadata called <code>rclone_modified</code> in RFC3339 with nanoseconds format.</p>
<h3 id="md5-checksums">MD5 checksums</h3>
<p>MD5 checksums are natively supported by Yandex Disk.</p>
<h3 id="emptying-trash-1">Emptying Trash</h3>
<p>If you wish to empty your trash you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:</code> command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command does not take any path arguments.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<h3 id="quota-information-2">Quota information</h3>
<p>To view your current quota you can use the <code>rclone about remote:</code> command which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage.</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<h3 id="limitations-14">Limitations</h3>
<p>When uploading very large files (bigger than about 5GB) you will need to increase the <code>--timeout</code> 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 the connection - you'll see <code>net/http: timeout awaiting response headers</code> 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 <code>2 * 30 = 60m</code>, that is <code>--timeout 60m</code>.</p>

<h2 id="local-filesystem">Local Filesystem</h2>
<p>Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg <code>/path/to/wherever</code>, so</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination</code></pre>
<p>Will sync <code>/home/source</code> to <code>/tmp/destination</code></p>
<p>These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake, but it is probably easier not to.</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="modified-time-11">Modified time</h3>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="filenames">Filenames</h3>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the normal case for Windows and OS X.</p>
<p>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 <code>convmv</code> tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8. This tool is available in most distributions' package managers.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid characters will be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '<27>'. <code>rclone</code> will emit a debug message in this case (use <code>-v</code> to see), eg</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<pre><code>Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in &quot;gro\xdf&quot;</code></pre>
<h3 id="long-paths-on-windows">Long paths on Windows</h3>
<p>Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to long <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath">UNC paths</a> which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.</p>
<p>This is why you will see that your paths, for instance <code>c:\files</code> is converted to the UNC path <code>\\?\c:\files</code> in the output, and <code>\\server\share</code> is converted to <code>\\?\UNC\server\share</code>.</p>
<p>However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file system drivers like <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/261">EncFS</a>. To disable UNC conversion globally, add this to your <code>.rclone.conf</code> file:</p>
<pre><code>[local]
nounc = true</code></pre>
<p>If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate entry like this:</p>
<pre><code>[nounc]
type = local
nounc = true</code></pre>
<p>And use rclone like this:</p>
<p><code>rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst</code></p>
<p>This will use UNC paths on <code>c:\src</code> but not on <code>z:\dst</code>. 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.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<h3 id="symlinks-junction-points">Symlinks / Junction points</h3>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave like symlinks under Windows).</p>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>If you supply <code>--copy-links</code> or <code>-L</code> then rclone will follow the symlink and copy the pointed to file or directory. Note that this flag is incompatible with <code>-links</code> / <code>-l</code>.</p>
2017-03-18 12:16:43 +01:00
<p>This flag applies to all commands.</p>
<p>For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this</p>
<pre><code>$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── b -&gt; ../b
├── expected -&gt; ../expected
├── one

<h4 id="links--l">--links, -l</h4>
<p>Normally rclone will ignore symlinks or junction points (which behave like symlinks under Windows).</p>
<p>If you supply this flag then rclone will copy symbolic links from the local storage, and store them as text files, with a '.rclonelink' suffix in the remote storage.</p>
<p>The text file will contain the target of the symbolic link (see example).</p>
<p>This flag applies to all commands.</p>
<p>For example, supposing you have a directory structure like this</p>
<pre><code>$ tree /tmp/a
/tmp/a
├── file1 -&gt; ./file4
└── file2 -&gt; /home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>Copying the entire directory with '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copyto -l /tmp/a/file1 remote:/tmp/a/</code></pre>
<p>The remote files are created with a '.rclonelink' suffix</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone ls remote:/tmp/a
5 file1.rclonelink
14 file2.rclonelink</code></pre>
<p>The remote files will contain the target of the symbolic links</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file1.rclonelink
./file4
$ rclone cat remote:/tmp/a/file2.rclonelink
/home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>Copying them back with '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copyto -l remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1 -&gt; ./file4
└── file2 -&gt; /home/user/file3</code></pre>
<p>However, if copied back without '-l'</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone copyto remote:/tmp/a/ /tmp/b/
$ tree /tmp/b
/tmp/b
├── file1.rclonelink
└── file2.rclonelink</code></pre>
<p>Note that this flag is incompatible with <code>-copy-links</code> / <code>-L</code>.</p>

<h3 id="restricting-filesystems-with---one-file-system">Restricting filesystems with --one-file-system</h3>
<p>Normally rclone will recurse through filesystems as mounted.</p>
<p>However if you set <code>--one-file-system</code> or <code>-x</code> this tells rclone to stay in the filesystem specified by the root and not to recurse into different file systems.</p>
2017-12-23 14:07:45 +01:00
<p>For example if you have a directory hierarchy like this</p>
2016-11-06 11:17:52 +01:00
<pre><code>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</code></pre>
<p>Using <code>rclone --one-file-system copy root remote:</code> will only copy <code>file1</code> and <code>file2</code>. Eg</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q --one-file-system ls root
0 file1
0 file2</code></pre>
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls root
0 disk1/file3
0 disk2/file4
0 file1
0 file2</code></pre>
<p><strong>NB</strong> Rclone (like most unix tools such as <code>du</code>, <code>rsync</code> and <code>tar</code>) treats a bind mount to the same device as being on the same filesystem.</p>
2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p><strong>NB</strong> This flag is only available on Unix based systems. On systems where it isn't supported (eg Windows) it will be ignored.</p>

2018-10-15 12:03:08 +02:00
<p>Don't warn about skipped symlinks. This flag disables warning messages on skipped symlinks or junction points, as you explicitly acknowledge that they should be skipped.</p>

<p>Don't apply unicode normalization to paths and filenames (Deprecated)</p>
<p>This flag is deprecated now. Rclone no longer normalizes unicode file names, but it compares them with unicode normalization in the sync routine instead.</p>

<h4 id="local-no-check-updated">--local-no-check-updated</h4>
<p>Don't check to see if the files change during upload</p>
<p>Normally rclone checks the size and modification time of files as they are being uploaded and aborts with a message which starts &quot;can't copy - source file is being updated&quot; if the file changes during upload.</p>
<p>However on some file systems this modification time check may fail (eg <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/2206">Glusterfs #2206</a>) so this check can be disabled with this flag.</p>

<h2 id="bugs-and-limitations">Bugs and Limitations</h2>
<h3 id="empty-directories-are-left-behind-not-created">Empty directories are left behind / not created</h3>
<p>With remotes that have a concept of directory, eg Local and Drive, empty directories may be left behind, or not created when one was expected.</p>
<p>This is because rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only works on objects. Most of the object storage systems can't actually store a directory so there is nowhere for rclone to store anything about directories.</p>
<p>You can work round this to some extent with the<code>purge</code> command which will delete everything under the path, <strong>inluding</strong> empty directories.</p>
<p>This may be fixed at some point in <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/100">Issue #100</a></p>
<h3 id="directory-timestamps-arent-preserved">Directory timestamps aren't preserved</h3>
<p>For the same reason as the above, rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only works on objects, therefore it can't preserve the timestamps of directories.</p>
<h2 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<h3 id="do-all-cloud-storage-systems-support-all-rclone-commands">Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands</h3>
<p>Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> etc) will work on all the remote storage systems.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-copy-the-config-from-one-machine-to-another">Can I copy the config from one machine to another</h3>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want to find this file, run <code>rclone config file</code> which will tell you where it is.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for more info.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="how-do-i-configure-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-box-with-no-browser">How do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser?</h3>
<p>This has now been documented in its own <a href="https://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup page</a>.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="can-rclone-sync-directly-from-drive-to-s3">Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3</h3>
<p>Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.</p>
<p>Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so the node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.</p>
<p>The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).</p>
<p>Eg</p>
<pre><code>rclone sync drive:Folder s3:bucket</code></pre>
<h3 id="using-rclone-from-multiple-locations-at-the-same-time">Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time</h3>
<p>You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose different subdirectory for the output, eg</p>
<pre><code>Server A&gt; rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
Server B&gt; rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB</code></pre>
<p>If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy otherwise the two rclones may delete each others files, eg</p>
<pre><code>Server A&gt; rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
Server B&gt; rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="why-doesnt-rclone-support-partial-transfers-binary-diffs-like-rsync">Why doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 change some bytes in the middle of it.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="can-rclone-do-bi-directional-sync">Can rclone do bi-directional sync?</h3>
<p>No, not at present. rclone only does uni-directional sync from A -&gt; B. It may do in the future though since it has all the primitives - it just requires writing the algorithm to do it.</p>
<h3 id="can-i-use-rclone-with-an-http-proxy">Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?</h3>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>Yes. rclone will follow the standard environment variables for proxies, similar to cURL and other programs.</p>
<p>In general the variables are called <code>http_proxy</code> (for services reached over <code>http</code>) and <code>https_proxy</code> (for services reached over <code>https</code>). Most public services will be using <code>https</code>, but you may wish to set both.</p>
<p>The content of the variable is <code>protocol://server:port</code>. The protocol value is the one used to talk to the proxy server, itself, and is commonly either <code>http</code> or <code>socks5</code>.</p>
<p>Slightly annoyingly, there is no <em>standard</em> for the name; some applications may use <code>http_proxy</code> but another one <code>HTTP_PROXY</code>. The <code>Go</code> libraries used by <code>rclone</code> will try both variations, but you may wish to set all possibilities. So, on Linux, you may end up with code similar to</p>
<pre><code>export http_proxy=http://proxyserver:12345
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$http_proxy</code></pre>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>The <code>NO_PROXY</code> allows you to disable the proxy for specific hosts. Hosts must be comma separated, and can contain domains or parts. For instance &quot;foo.com&quot; also matches &quot;bar.foo.com&quot;.</p>
2018-11-24 14:44:25 +01:00
<p>e.g.</p>
<pre><code>export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,my.host.name
export NO_PROXY=$no_proxy</code></pre>
2019-02-09 11:42:57 +01:00
<p>Note that the ftp backend does not support <code>ftp_proxy</code> yet.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<h3 id="rclone-gives-x509-failed-to-load-system-roots-and-no-roots-provided-error">Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error</h3>
2016-06-18 17:29:53 +02:00
<p>This means that <code>rclone</code> can't file the SSL root certificates. Likely you are running <code>rclone</code> on a NAS with a cut-down Linux OS, or possibly on Solaris.</p>
2016-01-31 17:33:20 +01:00
<p>Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from these places on Linux.</p>
<pre><code>&quot;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt&quot;, // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
&quot;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt&quot;, // Fedora/RHEL
&quot;/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem&quot;, // OpenSUSE
&quot;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem&quot;, // OpenELEC</code></pre>
<p>So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the time which is important for SSL to work properly.</p>
<pre><code>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</code></pre>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>The two environment variables <code>SSL_CERT_FILE</code> and <code>SSL_CERT_DIR</code>, mentioned in the <a href="https://godoc.org/crypto/x509">x509 pacakge</a>, provide an additional way to provide the SSL root certificates.</p>
2016-03-01 10:00:01 +01:00
<p>Note that you may need to add the <code>--insecure</code> option to the <code>curl</code> command line if it doesn't work without.</p>
<pre><code>curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt</code></pre>
<h3 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-load-config-file-function-not-implemented-error">Rclone gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error</h3>
<p>Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://golang.org/doc/install">system requirements section in the go install docs</a> for full details.</p>
2016-04-18 19:30:29 +02:00
<h3 id="all-my-uploaded-docxxlsxpptx-files-appear-as-archivezip">All my uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip</h3>
<p>This is caused by uploading these files from a Windows computer which hasn't got the Microsoft Office suite installed. The easiest way to fix is to install the Word viewer and the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 and later versions' file formats</p>
2017-09-30 15:19:47 +02:00
<h3 id="tcp-lookup-some.domain.com-no-such-host">tcp lookup some.domain.com no such host</h3>
<p>This happens when rclone cannot resolve a domain. Please check that your DNS setup is generally working, e.g.</p>
<pre><code># 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&#39;s DNS server</code></pre>
<p>If you are using <code>systemd-resolved</code> (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.</p>
2018-03-19 11:06:13 +01:00
<p>Additionally with the <code>GODEBUG=netdns=</code> environment variable the Go resolver decision can be influenced. This also allows to resolve certain issues with DNS resolution. See the <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/#hdr-Name_Resolution">name resolution section in the go docs</a>.</p>
