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.

Rclone reads and writes the modified time using an accuracy determined by
|
2014-03-28 23:34:13 +01:00
|
|
|
|
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 warning in this case, eg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
