This gives you more control over how long rclone will run for, making
it easier to script backups, e.g. via cron. Once the `--max-duration`
time limit is reached, no new transfers will be initiated, but those
already in-flight will be allowed to complete.
Fixes#985
Before this change the expect/continue timeout was set to
--conntimeout which was 60s by default which is too long to wait.
This was noticed when using s3 with a proxy which apparently didn't
support expect / continue properly.
Set --expect-continue-timeout 0 to disable expect/continue.
from rsync manual:
--compare-dest=DIR
This option instructs rsync to use DIR on the destination machine as an
additional hierarchy to compare destination files against doing transfers
(if the files are missing in the destination directory). If a file is found
in DIR that is identical to the sender's file, the file will NOT be
transferred to the destination directory. This is useful for creating
a sparse backup of just files that have changed from an earlier backup.
--copy-dest=DIR
This option behaves like --compare-dest, but rsync will also copy unchanged
files found in DIR to the destination directory using a local copy.
This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving
existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files
have been successfully transferred.
On google fs (drive, google photos, and google cloud storage), if
headless is selected, do not open browser.
This also supplies a new option "auth-no-open-browser" for authorize
if the user does not want it.
This should fix#3323.
Before this fix, attempting to set a non top level environment
variable would fail with "Couldn't find flag".
This fixes it by passing in the flags that the env var is being set
from.
Fixes#3615
Before this change it was possible to make a remote with an invalid
name in the config file, either manually or with `rclone config
create` (but not with `rclone config`).
When this remote was used, because it was invalid, rclone would
presume this remote name was a local directory for a very suprising
user experience!
This change checks remote names more carefully and returns errors
- when the user tries to use an invalid remote name on the command line
- when an invalid remote name is used in `rclone config create/update/password`
- when the user tries to enter an invalid remote name in `rclone config`
This does not prevent the user entering a remote name with invalid
characters in the config manually, but such a remote will fail
immediately when it is used on the command line.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/rc-rc-job-expire-interval-bug/11188
rclone was ignoring the --rc-job-expire-duration and --rc-job-interval
flags. This turned out to be an initialization order problem and was
fixed by moving those flags out of global config into rc config.
- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
Before this change when using "rclone config create" it wasn't
possible to add passwords in one go, it was necessary to call "rclone
config password" to add the passwords afterwards as "rclone config
create" didn't obscure passwords.
After this change "rclone config create" and "rclone config update"
will obscure passwords as necessary as will the corresponding API
calls config/create and config/update.
This makes "rclone config password" and its API config/password
obsolete, however they will be left for backwards compatibility.
