Local Filesystem
Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg /path/to/wherever, so
rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination
Will sync /home/source to /tmp/destination
These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake, but it is probably easier not to.
Modified time
Rclone reads and writes the modified time using an accuracy determined by the OS. Typically this is 1ns on Linux, 10 ns on Windows and 1 Second on OS X.
Filenames
Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the normal case for Windows and OS X. There is a bit more uncertainty in the Linux world, but new distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files names.
If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will
be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '<27>'. rclone
will emit a debug message in this case (use -v to see), eg
Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"
