This is possible now that we no longer support go1.12 and brings
rclone into line with standard practices in the Go world.
This also removes errors.New and errors.Errorf from lib/errors and
prefers the stdlib errors package over lib/errors.
This changes the interface to NewObject so that if NewObject is called
on a directory then it should return fs.ErrorIsDir if possible without
doing any extra work, otherwise fs.ErrorObjectNotFound.
Tested on integration test server with:
go run integration-test.go -tests backend -run TestIntegration/FsMkdir/FsPutFiles/FsNewObjectDir -branch fix-stat -maxtries 1
Betweeen rclone v1.54 and v1.55 there was an approx 3x performance
regression when transferring to distant SFTP servers (in particular
rsync.net).
This turned out to be due to the library github.com/pkg/sftp rclone
uses. Concurrent writes used to be enabled in this library by default
(for v1.12.0 as used in rclone v1.54) but they are no longer enabled
(for v1.13.0 as used in rclone v1.55) for safety reasons and it is
necessary to enable them specifically.
The safety concerns are due to the uncertainty as to whether writes
come in order and whether a half completed file might have holes in
it. This isn't a problem for rclone since a) it doesn't restart
uploads and b) it has a post-transfer checksum test.
This change introduces a new flag `--sftp-disable-concurrent-writes`
to control the feature which defaults to false, meaning that
concurrent writes are enabled as in v1.54.
However this isn't quite enough to fix the problem as the sftp library
needs to be able to sniff the size of the stream from the reader
passed in, so this also adds a `Size` interface to the reader to
enable this. This involved a patch to the library.
The library was reverted to v1.12.0 for v1.55.1 - this patch installs
v1.13.0+master to fix the Size interface problem.

In
a3fcadddc8 sftp: close idle connections after --sftp-idle-timeout (1m by default)
Idle SFTP connections were closed after 1 minute. However due to the
way SSH multiplexes connections over a single SSH connection this
meant that if uploads or downloads went on for more than one minute
they failed with "EOF errors" as their underlying connection was
closed.
This fixes the problem by not clearing idle connections if there are
any transfers in progress.
Fixes#5197
This reverts the library update done in this commit.
713f8f357d sftp: fix "file not found" errors for read once servers
Reverting this commit triples the performance to a far away sftp server.
See: https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/426
Some sftp servers don't allow the user to access the file after upload.
In this case the error message indicates that using
--sftp-set-modtime=false would fix the problem. However it doesn't
because SetModTime does a stat call which can't be disabled.
Update SetModTime failed: SetModTime stat failed: object not found
After upload this patch checks for an `object not found` error if
set_modtime == false and ignores it, returning the expected size of
the object instead.
It also makes SetModTime do nothing if set_modtime = false
https://forum.rclone.org/t/sftp-update-setmodtime-failed/22873
It introduces a new flag --sftp-disable-concurrent-reads to stop the
problematic behaviour in the SFTP library for read-once servers.
This upgrades the sftp library to v1.13.0 which has the fix.
This is done by making fs.Config private and attaching it to the
context instead.
The Config should be obtained with fs.GetConfig and fs.AddConfig
should be used to get a new mutable config that can be changed.
This adds a context.Context parameter to NewFs and related calls.
This is necessary as part of reading config from the context -
backends need to be able to read the global config.

After switching to a password callback function, if the ssh connection
aborts and needs to be reconnected then the user is-reprompted for their
password. Instead we now remember the password they entered and just give
that back. We do lose the ability for them to correct mistakes, but that's
the situation from before switching to callbacks. We keep the benefits
of not asking for passwords until the SSH connection succeeds (right
known_hosts entry, for example).
This required a small refactor of how `f := &Fs{}` was built, so we can
store the saved password in the Fs object
Based on Issue 4087
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4087
Current behaviour is insecure. If the user specifies this value then we
switch to validating the server hostkey and so can detect server changes
or MITM-type attacks.
Before this change rclone used the relative path from the current
working directory.
It appears that WS FTP doesn't like this and the openssh sftp tool
also uses absolute paths which is a good reason for switching to
absolute paths.
This change reads the current working directory at startup and bases
all file requests from there.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/sftp-ssh-fx-failure-directory-not-found/17436
For SSH authentication, `key_pem` should both override `key_file`
and not require other SSH authentication methods to be set.
Prior to this fix, rclone would attempt to use an ssh-agent
when `key_pem` was the only SSH authentication method set.
Fixes#4240
Before this change we early exited the SetModTime call which means we
skipped reading the info about the file.
This change reads info about the file in the SetModTime call even if
we are skipping setting the modtime.

This error started happening after updating golang/x/crypto which was
done as a side effect of:
3801b8109 vendor: update termbox-go to fix ncdu command on FreeBSD
This turned out to be a deliberate policy of making
ssh.ParsePrivateKeyWithPassphrase fail if the passphrase was empty.
See: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/crypto/+/207599
This fix calls ssh.ParsePrivateKey if the passphrase is empty and
ssh.ParsePrivateKeyWithPassphrase otherwise which fixes the problem.
