Frequently Asked Questions
@ -13,6 +13,31 @@ Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg `sync`, `copy` etc) will
work on all the remote storage systems.
### Can I copy the config from one machine to another ###
Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want
to find this file, the simplest way is to run `rclone -h` and look at
the help for the `--config` flag which will tell you where it is. Eg,
```
$ rclone -h
Sync files and directories to and from local and remote object stores - v1.18.
[snip]
Options:
--bwlimit=0: Bandwidth limit in kBytes/s, or use suffix k|M|G
--checkers=8: Number of checkers to run in parallel.
-c, --checksum=false: Skip based on checksum & size, not mod-time & size
--config="/home/user/.rclone.conf": Config file.
[snip]
```
So in this config the config file can be found in
`/home/user/.rclone.conf`.
Just copy that to the equivalent place in the destination (run `rclone
-h` above again on the destination machine if not sure).
### Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3 ###
Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.
