<h2 id="install">Install</h2>
|
||
<p>Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.</p>
|
||
<p><a href="http://rclone.org/downloads/">Download</a> the relevant binary.</p>
|
||
<p>Or alternatively if you have Go 1.5+ installed use</p>
|
||
<pre><code>go get github.com/ncw/rclone</code></pre>
|
||
<p>and this will build the binary in <code>$GOPATH/bin</code>. If you have built rclone before then you will want to update its dependencies first with this</p>
|
||
<pre><code>go get -u -v github.com/ncw/rclone/...</code></pre>
|
||
<p>See the <a href="http://rclone.org/docs/">Usage section</a> of the docs for how to use rclone, or run <code>rclone -h</code>.</p>

<p>This can be done with <a href="https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone">Stefan Weichinger's ansible role</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Instructions</p>
|
||
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
|
||
<li><code>git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git</code> into your local roles-directory</li>
|
||
<li>add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:</li>
|

</ol>

roles:
|
||
- rclone</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="configure">Configure</h2>
|
||
<p>First you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file <code>.rclone.conf</code> in your home directory by default. (You can use the <code>--config</code> option to choose a different config file.)</p>
|
||
<p>The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config option:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>

|
||
<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
|
||
<p>Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.</p>
|
||
<p>Its syntax is like this</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters> <parameters...></code></pre>
|
||
<p>Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the storage system in the config file then the sub path, eg "drive:myfolder" to look at "myfolder" in Google drive.</p>
|
||
<p>You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="subcommands">Subcommands</h2>
|
||
<p>rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:path # lists a re
|
||
rclone copy /local/path remote:path # copies /local/path to the remote
|
||
rclone sync /local/path remote:path # syncs /local/path to the remote</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-config">rclone config</h2>
|
||
<p>Enter an interactive configuration session.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Enter an interactive configuration session.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-copy">rclone copy</h2>
|
||
<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-1">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Copy the source to the destination. Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Doesn't delete files from the destination.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents.</p>
|
||
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>
|
||
<p>For example</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Let's say there are two files in sourcepath</p>
|
||
<pre><code>sourcepath/one.txt
|
||
sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This copies them to</p>
|
||
<pre><code>destpath/one.txt
|
||
destpath/two.txt</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Not to</p>
|
||
<pre><code>destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
|
||
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you are familiar with <code>rsync</code>, rclone always works as if you had written a trailing / - meaning "copy the contents of this directory". This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the source or destination.</p>
|
||
<p>See the <code>--no-traverse</code> option for controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy source:path dest:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-sync">rclone sync</h2>
|
||
<p>Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-2">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only. Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting files if necessary.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the <code>--dry-run</code> flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any errors at any point.</p>
|
||
<p>It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See extended explanation in the <code>copy</code> command above if unsure.</p>
|
||
<p>If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync source:path dest:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-move">rclone move</h2>
|
||
<p>Move files from source to dest.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-3">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap.</p>
|
||
<p>If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move <code>source:path</code> into <code>dest:path</code>. After this <code>source:path</code> will no longer longer exist.</p>
|
||
<p>Otherwise for each file in <code>source:path</code> selected by the filters (if any) this will move it into <code>dest:path</code>. If possible a server side move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible) into <code>dest:path</code> then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in <code>source:path</code>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run flag.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone move source:path dest:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-delete">rclone delete</h2>
|
||
<p>Remove the contents of path.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-4">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Remove the contents of path. Unlike <code>purge</code> it obeys include/exclude filters so can be used to selectively delete files.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes</p>
|
||
<p>Check what would be deleted first (use either)</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
|
||
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then delete</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<p>That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB", hence delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone delete remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-purge">rclone purge</h2>
|
||
<p>Remove the path and all of its contents.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-5">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Remove the path and all of its contents. Note that this does not obey include/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use <code>delete</code> if you want to selectively delete files.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone purge remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-mkdir">rclone mkdir</h2>
|
||
<p>Make the path if it doesn't already exist.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-6">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Make the path if it doesn't already exist.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-rmdir">rclone rmdir</h2>
|
||
<p>Remove the path if empty.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-7">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Remove the path. Note that you can't remove a path with objects in it, use purge for that.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone rmdir remote:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-check">rclone check</h2>
|
||
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-8">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares sizes and MD5SUMs and prints a report of files which don't match. It doesn't alter the source or destination.</p>
|
||
<p><code>--size-only</code> may be used to only compare the sizes, not the MD5SUMs.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone check source:path dest:path</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="rclone-ls">rclone ls</h2>
|

<h2 id="rclone-dedupe">rclone dedupe</h2>
|
||
<p>Interactively find duplicate files delete/rename them.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="synopsis-17">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>By default <code>dedup</code> interactively finds duplicate files and offers to delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.</p>
|
||
<p>The <code>dedupe</code> command will delete all but one of any identical (same md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most duplicated files the <code>dedupe</code> command will not be interactive. You can use <code>--dry-run</code> to see what would happen without doing anything.</p>
|
||
<p>Here is an example run.</p>
|
||
<p>Before - with duplicates</p>
|
||

<p>Dedupe can be run non interactively using the <code>--dedupe-mode</code> flag or by using an extra parameter with the same value</p>
|
||
<ul>
|

<li><code>--dedupe-mode interactive</code> - interactive as above.</li>
|
||
<li><code>--dedupe-mode skip</code> - removes identical files then skips anything left.</li>
|
||
<li><code>--dedupe-mode first</code> - removes identical files then keeps the first one.</li>
|

<li><code>--dedupe-mode newest</code> - removes identical files then keeps the newest one.</li>
|

<li><code>--dedupe-mode oldest</code> - removes identical files then keeps the oldest one.</li>
|

<h3 id="synopsis-19">Synopsis</h3>
|
||
<p>Generates a bash shell autocompletion script for rclone.</p>
|
||
<p>This writes to /etc/bash_completion.d/rclone by default so will probably need to be run with sudo or as root, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>sudo rclone genautocomplete</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Logout and login again to use the autocompletion scripts, or source them directly</p>
|
||
<pre><code>. /etc/bash_completion</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you supply a command line argument the script will be written there.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone genautocomplete [output_file]</code></pre>

<h2 id="copying-single-files">Copying single files</h2>
|
||
<p>rclone normally syncs or copies directories. However if the source remote points to a file, rclone will just copy that file. The destination remote must point to a directory - rclone will give the error <code>Failed to create file system for "remote:file": is a file not a directory</code> if it isn't.</p>
|
||
<p>For example, suppose you have a remote with a file in called <code>test.jpg</code>, then you could copy just that file like this</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy remote:test.jpg /tmp/download</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The file <code>test.jpg</code> will be placed inside <code>/tmp/download</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This is equivalent to specifying</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy --no-traverse --files-from /tmp/files remote: /tmp/download</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Where <code>/tmp/files</code> contains the single line</p>
|
||
<pre><code>test.jpg</code></pre>
|
||
<p>It is recommended to use <code>copy</code> when copying single files not <code>sync</code>. They have pretty much the same effect but <code>copy</code> will use a lot less memory.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="quoting-and-the-shell">Quoting and the shell</h2>
|
||
<p>When you are typing commands to your computer you are using something called the command line shell. This interprets various characters in an OS specific way.</p>
|
||
<p>Here are some gotchas which may help users unfamiliar with the shell rules</p>
|
||
<h3 id="linux-osx">Linux / OSX</h3>
|
||
<p>If your names have spaces or shell metacharacters (eg <code>*</code>, <code>?</code>, <code>$</code>, <code>'</code>, <code>"</code> etc) then you must quote them. Use single quotes <code>'</code> by default.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy 'Important files?' remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you want to send a <code>'</code> you will need to use <code>"</code>, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy "O'Reilly Reviews" remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The rules for quoting metacharacters are complicated and if you want the full details you'll have to consult the manual page for your shell.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="windows">Windows</h3>
|
||
<p>If your names have spaces in you need to put them in <code>"</code>, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy "E:\folder name\folder name\folder name" remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you are using the root directory on its own then don't quote it (see <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/464">#464</a> for why), eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy E:\ remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="server-side-copy">Server Side Copy</h2>
|
||
<p>Drive, S3, Dropbox, Swift and Google Cloud Storage support server side copy.</p>
|
||
<p>This means if you want to copy one folder to another then rclone won't download all the files and re-upload them; it will instruct the server to copy them in place.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Will copy the contents of <code>oldbucket</code> to <code>newbucket</code> without downloading and re-uploading.</p>
|
||
<p>Remotes which don't support server side copy (eg local) <strong>will</strong> download and re-upload in this case.</p>
|
||
<p>Server side copies are used with <code>sync</code> and <code>copy</code> and will be identified in the log when using the <code>-v</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<p>Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the same.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
|
||
rclone sync /path/to/files remote:current-backup</code></pre>
|
||
<h2 id="options-1">Options</h2>
|
||
<p>Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.</p>
|
||
<p>Options which use TIME use the go time parser. A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".</p>
|
||
<p>Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However a suffix of <code>b</code> for bytes, <code>k</code> for kBytes, <code>M</code> for MBytes and <code>G</code> for GBytes may be used. These are the binary units, eg 1, 2**10, 2**20, 2**30 respectively.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="bwlimitsize">--bwlimit=SIZE</h3>
|
||
<p>Bandwidth limit in kBytes/s, or use suffix b|k|M|G. The default is <code>0</code> which means to not limit bandwidth.</p>
|
||
<p>For example to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use <code>--bwlimit 10M</code></p>
|
||
<p>This only limits the bandwidth of the data transfer, it doesn't limit the bandwith of the directory listings etc.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="checkersn">--checkers=N</h3>
|
||
<p>The number of checkers to run in parallel. Checkers do the equality checking of files during a sync. For some storage systems (eg s3, swift, dropbox) this can take a significant amount of time so they are run in parallel.</p>
|
||
<p>The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="c---checksum">-c, --checksum</h3>
|
||
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check the file hash and size to determine if files are equal.</p>
|
||
<p>This is useful when the remote doesn't support setting modified time and a more accurate sync is desired than just checking the file size.</p>
|
||
<p>This is very useful when transferring between remotes which store the same hash type on the object, eg Drive and Swift. For details of which remotes support which hash type see the table in the <a href="http://rclone.org/overview/">overview section</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg <code>rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket</code> would run much quicker than without the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="configconfig_file">--config=CONFIG_FILE</h3>
|
||
<p>Specify the location of the rclone config file. Normally this is in your home directory as a file called <code>.rclone.conf</code>. If you run <code>rclone -h</code> and look at the help for the <code>--config</code> option you will see where the default location is for you. Use this flag to override the config location, eg <code>rclone --config=".myconfig" .config</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="contimeouttime">--contimeout=TIME</h3>
|
||
<p>Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which looks like <code>5s</code> for 5 seconds, <code>10m</code> for 10 minutes, or <code>3h30m</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>The connection timeout is the amount of time rclone will wait for a connection to go through to a remote object storage system. It is <code>1m</code> by default.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dedupe-mode-mode">--dedupe-mode MODE</h3>
|
||
<p>Mode to run dedupe command in. One of <code>interactive</code>, <code>skip</code>, <code>first</code>, <code>newest</code>, <code>oldest</code>, <code>rename</code>. The default is <code>interactive</code>. See the dedupe command for more information as to what these options mean.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="n---dry-run">-n, --dry-run</h3>
|
||
<p>Do a trial run with no permanent changes. Use this to see what rclone would do without actually doing it. Useful when setting up the <code>sync</code> command which deletes files in the destination.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="ignore-existing">--ignore-existing</h3>
|
||
<p>Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files that exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.</p>
|
||
<p>While this isn't a generally recommended option, it can be useful in cases where your files change due to encryption. However, it cannot correct partial transfers in case a transfer was interrupted.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="ignore-size">--ignore-size</h3>
|
||
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only the modification time. If <code>--checksum</code> is set then it only checks the checksum.</p>
|
||
<p>It will also cause rclone to skip verifying the sizes are the same after transfer.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be useful for transferring files to and from onedrive which occasionally misreports the size of image files (see <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/399">#399</a> for more info).</p>
|
||
<h3 id="i---ignore-times">-I, --ignore-times</h3>
|
||
<p>Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all files regardless of the state of files on the destination.</p>
|
||
<p>Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same modification time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if using <code>--checksum</code>).</p>
|
||
<h3 id="log-filefile">--log-file=FILE</h3>
|
||
<p>Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default. This can be useful for tracking down problems with syncs in combination with the <code>-v</code> flag. See the Logging section for more info.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="low-level-retries-number">--low-level-retries NUMBER</h3>
|
||
<p>This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.</p>
|
||
<p>A low level retry is used to retry a failing operation - typically one HTTP request. This might be uploading a chunk of a big file for example. You will see low level retries in the log with the <code>-v</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<p>This shouldn't need to be changed from the default in normal operations, however if you get a lot of low level retries you may wish to reduce the value so rclone moves on to a high level retry (see the <code>--retries</code> flag) quicker.</p>
|
||
<p>Disable low level retries with <code>--low-level-retries 1</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="max-depthn">--max-depth=N</h3>
|
||
<p>This modifies the recursion depth for all the commands except purge.</p>
|
||
<p>So if you do <code>rclone --max-depth 1 ls remote:path</code> you will see only the files in the top level directory. Using <code>--max-depth 2</code> means you will see all the files in first two directory levels and so on.</p>
|
||
<p>For historical reasons the <code>lsd</code> command defaults to using a <code>--max-depth</code> of 1 - you can override this with the command line flag.</p>
|
||
<p>You can use this command to disable recursion (with <code>--max-depth 1</code>).</p>
|
||
<p>Note that if you use this with <code>sync</code> and <code>--delete-excluded</code> the files not recursed through are considered excluded and will be deleted on the destination. Test first with <code>--dry-run</code> if you are not sure what will happen.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="modify-windowtime">--modify-window=TIME</h3>
|
||
<p>When checking whether a file has been modified, this is the maximum allowed time difference that a file can have and still be considered equivalent.</p>
|
||
<p>The default is <code>1ns</code> unless this is overridden by a remote. For example OS X only stores modification times to the nearest second so if you are reading and writing to an OS X filing system this will be <code>1s</code> by default.</p>
|
||
<p>This command line flag allows you to override that computed default.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="no-gzip-encoding">--no-gzip-encoding</h3>
|
||
<p>Don't set <code>Accept-Encoding: gzip</code>. This means that rclone won't ask the server for compressed files automatically. Useful if you've set the server to return files with <code>Content-Encoding: gzip</code> but you uploaded compressed files.</p>
|
||
<p>There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="no-update-modtime">--no-update-modtime</h3>
|
||
<p>When using this flag, rclone won't update modification times of remote files if they are incorrect as it would normally.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be used if the remote is being synced with another tool also (eg the Google Drive client).</p>
|
||
<h3 id="q---quiet">-q, --quiet</h3>
|
||
<p>Normally rclone outputs stats and a completion message. If you set this flag it will make as little output as possible.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="retries-int">--retries int</h3>
|
||
<p>Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default 3).</p>
|
||
<p>Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries helps pick up the files which didn't get transferred because of errors.</p>
|
||
<p>Disable retries with <code>--retries 1</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="size-only">--size-only</h3>
|
||
<p>Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check only the size.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be useful transferring files from dropbox which have been modified by the desktop sync client which doesn't set checksums of modification times in the same way as rclone.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="statstime">--stats=TIME</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone will print stats at regular intervals to show its progress.</p>
|
||
<p>This sets the interval.</p>
|
||
<p>The default is <code>1m</code>. Use 0 to disable.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="delete-beforeduringafter">--delete-(before,during,after)</h3>
|
||
<p>This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are deleted when you sync folders.</p>
|
||
<p>Specifying the value <code>--delete-before</code> will delete all files present on the destination, but not on the source <em>before</em> starting the transfer of any new or updated files. This uses extra memory as it has to store the source listing before proceeding.</p>
|
||
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-during</code> (default value) will delete files while checking and uploading files. This is usually the fastest option. Currently this works the same as <code>--delete-after</code> but it may change in the future.</p>
|
||
<p>Specifying <code>--delete-after</code> will delay deletion of files until all new/updated files have been successfully transfered.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="timeouttime">--timeout=TIME</h3>
|
||
<p>This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.</p>
|
||
<p>The default is <code>5m</code>. Set to 0 to disable.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="transfersn">--transfers=N</h3>
|
||
<p>The number of file transfers to run in parallel. It can sometimes be useful to set this to a smaller number if the remote is giving a lot of timeouts or bigger if you have lots of bandwidth and a fast remote.</p>
|
||
<p>The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="u---update">-u, --update</h3>
|
||
<p>This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination and have a modified time that is newer than the source file.</p>
|
||
<p>If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within the computed modify window precision) to the source file's, it will be updated if the sizes are different.</p>
|
||
<p>On remotes which don't support mod time directly the time checked will be the uploaded time. This means that if uploading to one of these remoes, rclone will skip any files which exist on the destination and have an uploaded time that is newer than the modification time of the source file.</p>
|
||
<p>This can be useful when transferring to a remote which doesn't support mod times directly as it is more accurate than a <code>--size-only</code> check and faster than using <code>--checksum</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="v---verbose">-v, --verbose</h3>
|
||
<p>If you set this flag, rclone will become very verbose telling you about every file it considers and transfers.</p>
|
||
<p>Very useful for debugging.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="v---version">-V, --version</h3>
|
||
<p>Prints the version number</p>
|
||
<h2 id="configuration-encryption">Configuration Encryption</h2>
|
||
<p>Your configuration file contains information for logging in to your cloud services. This means that you should keep your <code>.rclone.conf</code> file in a secure location.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are in an environment where that isn't possible, you can add a password to your configuration. This means that you will have to enter the password every time you start rclone.</p>
|
||
<p>To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute <code>rclone config</code>.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>>rclone config
|
||
Current remotes:
|
||
|
||
e) Edit existing remote
|
||
n) New remote
|
||
d) Delete remote
|
||
s) Set configuration password
|
||
q) Quit config
|
||
e/n/d/s/q></code></pre>
|
||
<p>Go into <code>s</code>, Set configuration password:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>e/n/d/s/q> s
|
||
Your configuration is not encrypted.
|
||
If you add a password, you will protect your login information to cloud services.
|
||
a) Add Password
|
||
q) Quit to main menu
|
||
a/q> a
|
||
Enter NEW configuration password:
|
||
password:
|
||
Confirm NEW password:
|
||
password:
|
||
Password set
|
||
Your configuration is encrypted.
|
||
c) Change Password
|
||
u) Unencrypt configuration
|
||
q) Quit to main menu
|
||
c/u/q></code></pre>
|
||
<p>Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone you will now be asked for the password. In the same menu you can change the password or completely remove encryption from your configuration.</p>
|
||
<p>There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your password.</p>
|
||
<p>rclone uses <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox">nacl secretbox</a> which in turn uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and authenticate your configuration with secret-key cryptography. The password is SHA-256 hashed, which produces the key for secretbox. The hashed password is not stored.</p>
|
||
<p>While this provides very good security, we do not recommend storing your encrypted rclone configuration in public if it contains sensitive information, maybe except if you use a very strong password.</p>
|
||
<p>If it is safe in your environment, you can set the <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be used for decrypting the configuration.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are running rclone inside a script, you might want to disable password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter <code>--ask-password=false</code> to rclone. This will make rclone fail instead of asking for a password if <code>RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS</code> doesn't contain a valid password.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="developer-options">Developer options</h2>
|
||
<p>These options are useful when developing or debugging rclone. There are also some more remote specific options which aren't documented here which are used for testing. These start with remote name eg <code>--drive-test-option</code> - see the docs for the remote in question.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="cpuprofilefile">--cpuprofile=FILE</h3>
|
||
<p>Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with <code>go tool pprof</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dump-bodies">--dump-bodies</h3>
|
||
<p>Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dump-filters">--dump-filters</h3>
|
||
<p>Dump the filters to the output. Useful to see exactly what include and exclude options are filtering on.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dump-headers">--dump-headers</h3>
|
||
<p>Dump HTTP headers - may contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose. Useful for debugging only.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="memprofilefile">--memprofile=FILE</h3>
|
||
<p>Write memory profile to file. This can be analysed with <code>go tool pprof</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="no-check-certificatetruefalse">--no-check-certificate=true/false</h3>
|
||
<p><code>--no-check-certificate</code> controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and host name. If <code>--no-check-certificate</code> is true, TLS accepts any certificate presented by the server and any host name in that certificate. In this mode, TLS is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.</p>
|
||
<p>This option defaults to <code>false</code>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>This should be used only for testing.</strong></p>
|
||
<h3 id="no-traverse">--no-traverse</h3>
|
||
<p>The <code>--no-traverse</code> flag controls whether the destination file system is traversed when using the <code>copy</code> or <code>move</code> commands.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are only copying a small number of files and/or have a large number of files on the destination then <code>--no-traverse</code> will stop rclone listing the destination and save time.</p>
|
||
<p>However if you are copying a large number of files, escpecially if you are doing a copy where lots of the files haven't changed and won't need copying then you shouldn't use <code>--no-traverse</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>It can also be used to reduce the memory usage of rclone when copying - <code>rclone --no-traverse copy src dst</code> won't load either the source or destination listings into memory so will use the minimum amount of memory.</p>

|
||
<h2 id="logging">Logging</h2>
|
||
<p>rclone has 3 levels of logging, <code>Error</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>By default rclone logs <code>Error</code> and <code>Info</code> to standard error and <code>Debug</code> to standard output. This means you can redirect standard output and standard error to different places.</p>
|
||
<p>By default rclone will produce <code>Error</code> and <code>Info</code> level messages.</p>
|
||
<p>If you use the <code>-q</code> flag, rclone will only produce <code>Error</code> messages.</p>
|
||
<p>If you use the <code>-v</code> flag, rclone will produce <code>Error</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code> messages.</p>
|
||
<p>If you use the <code>--log-file=FILE</code> option, rclone will redirect <code>Error</code>, <code>Info</code> and <code>Debug</code> messages along with standard error to FILE.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="exit-code">Exit Code</h2>
|
||
<p>If any errors occurred during the command, rclone will set a non zero exit code. This allows scripts to detect when rclone operations have failed.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="configuring-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-machine">Configuring rclone on a remote / headless machine</h1>
|
||
<p>Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an Internet connected web browser.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are trying to set rclone up on a remote or headless box with no browser available on it (eg a NAS or a server in a datacenter) then you will need to use an alternative means of configuration. There are two ways of doing it, described below.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="configuring-using-rclone-authorize">Configuring using rclone authorize</h2>
|
||
<p>On the headless box</p>

* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
|
||
y) Yes
|
||
n) No
|

||
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has a web browser available.
|

<h2 id="configuring-by-copying-the-config-file">Configuring by copying the config file</h2>
|
||
<p>Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This can easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.</p>
|
||
<p>So first configure rclone on your desktop machine</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
|
||
<p>to set up the config file.</p>
|
||
<p>Find the config file by running <code>rclone -h</code> and looking for the help for the <code>--config</code> option</p>
|
||
<pre><code>$ rclone -h
|
||
[snip]
|
||
--config="/home/user/.rclone.conf": Config file.
|
||
[snip]</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp etc) and place it in the correct place (use <code>rclone -h</code> on the remote box to find out where).</p>
|
||
<h1 id="filtering-includes-and-excludes">Filtering, includes and excludes</h1>
|
||
<p>Rclone has a sophisticated set of include and exclude rules. Some of these are based on patterns and some on other things like file size.</p>
|
||
<p>The filters are applied for the <code>copy</code>, <code>sync</code>, <code>move</code>, <code>ls</code>, <code>lsl</code>, <code>md5sum</code>, <code>sha1sum</code>, <code>size</code>, <code>delete</code> and <code>check</code> operations. Note that <code>purge</code> does not obey the filters.</p>
|
||
<p>Each path as it passes through rclone is matched against the include and exclude rules like <code>--include</code>, <code>--exclude</code>, <code>--include-from</code>, <code>--exclude-from</code>, <code>--filter</code>, or <code>--filter-from</code>. The simplest way to try them out is using the <code>ls</code> command, or <code>--dry-run</code> together with <code>-v</code>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong> Due to limitations of the command line parser you can only use any of these options once - if you duplicate them then rclone will use the last one only.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="patterns">Patterns</h2>
|
||
<p>The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based on "file globs" as used by the unix shell.</p>
|
||
<p>If the pattern starts with a <code>/</code> then it only matches at the top level of the directory tree, relative to the root of the remote. If it doesn't start with <code>/</code> then it is matched starting at the <strong>end of the path</strong>, but it will only match a complete path element:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>file.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
|
||
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "directory/afile.jpg"
|
||
/file.jpg - matches "file.jpg" in the root directory of the remote
|
||
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"</code></pre>
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong> Note that you must use <code>/</code> in patterns and not <code>\</code> even if running on Windows.</p>
|
||
<p>A <code>*</code> matches anything but not a <code>/</code>.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>*.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
|
||
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "file.jpg/something"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Use <code>**</code> to match anything, including slashes (<code>/</code>).</p>
|
||
<pre><code>dir/** - matches "dir/file.jpg"
|
||
- matches "dir/dir1/dir2/file.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
|
||
- doesn't match "adir/file.jpg"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>A <code>?</code> matches any character except a slash <code>/</code>.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>l?ss - matches "less"
|
||
- matches "lass"
|
||
- doesn't match "floss"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>A <code>[</code> and <code>]</code> together make a a character class, such as <code>[a-z]</code> or <code>[aeiou]</code> or <code>[[:alpha:]]</code>. See the <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/">go regexp docs</a> for more info on these.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>h[ae]llo - matches "hello"
|
||
- matches "hallo"
|
||
- doesn't match "hullo"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>A <code>{</code> and <code>}</code> define a choice between elements. It should contain a comma seperated list of patterns, any of which might match. These patterns can contain wildcards.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>{one,two}_potato - matches "one_potato"
|
||
- matches "two_potato"
|
||
- doesn't match "three_potato"
|
||
- doesn't match "_potato"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Special characters can be escaped with a <code>\</code> before them.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>\*.jpg - matches "*.jpg"
|
||
\\.jpg - matches "\.jpg"
|
||
\[one\].jpg - matches "[one].jpg"</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Note also that rclone filter globs can only be used in one of the filter command line flags, not in the specification of the remote, so <code>rclone copy "remote:dir*.jpg" /path/to/dir</code> won't work - what is required is <code>rclone --include "*.jpg" copy remote:dir /path/to/dir</code></p>
|
||
<h3 id="directories">Directories</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone keeps track of directories that could match any file patterns.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg if you add the include rule</p>
|
||
<pre><code>\a\*.jpg</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Rclone will synthesize the directory include rule</p>
|
||
<pre><code>\a\</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you put any rules which end in <code>\</code> then it will only match directories.</p>
|
||
<p>Directory matches are <strong>only</strong> used to optimise directory access patterns - you must still match the files that you want to match. Directory matches won't optimise anything on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2) which don't have a concept of directory.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="differences-between-rsync-and-rclone-patterns">Differences between rsync and rclone patterns</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone implements bash style <code>{a,b,c}</code> glob matching which rsync doesn't.</p>
|
||
<p>Rclone always does a wildcard match so <code>\</code> must always escape a <code>\</code>.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="how-the-rules-are-used">How the rules are used</h2>
|
||
<p>Rclone maintains a list of include rules and exclude rules.</p>
|
||
<p>Each file is matched in order against the list until it finds a match. The file is then included or excluded according to the rule type.</p>
|
||
<p>If the matcher falls off the bottom of the list then the path is included.</p>
|
||
<p>For example given the following rules, <code>+</code> being include, <code>-</code> being exclude,</p>
|
||
<pre><code>- secret*.jpg
|
||
+ *.jpg
|
||
+ *.png
|
||
+ file2.avi
|
||
- *</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This would include</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>file1.jpg</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>file3.png</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>file2.avi</code></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>This would exclude</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>secret17.jpg</code></li>
|
||
<li>non <code>*.jpg</code> and <code>*.png</code></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>A similar process is done on directory entries before recursing into them. This only works on remotes which have a concept of directory (Eg local, google drive, onedrive, amazon drive) and not on bucket based remotes (eg s3, swift, google compute storage, b2).</p>
|
||
<h2 id="adding-filtering-rules">Adding filtering rules</h2>
|
||
<p>Filtering rules are added with the following command line flags.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="exclude---exclude-files-matching-pattern"><code>--exclude</code> - Exclude files matching pattern</h3>
|
||
<p>Add a single exclude rule with <code>--exclude</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg <code>--exclude *.bak</code> to exclude all bak files from the sync.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="exclude-from---read-exclude-patterns-from-file"><code>--exclude-from</code> - Read exclude patterns from file</h3>
|
||
<p>Add exclude rules from a file.</p>
|
||
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>exclude-file.txt</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code># a sample exclude rule file
|
||
*.bak
|
||
file2.jpg</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then use as <code>--exclude-from exclude-file.txt</code>. This will sync all files except those ending in <code>bak</code> and <code>file2.jpg</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This is useful if you have a lot of rules.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="include---include-files-matching-pattern"><code>--include</code> - Include files matching pattern</h3>
|
||
<p>Add a single include rule with <code>--include</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg <code>--include *.{png,jpg}</code> to include all <code>png</code> and <code>jpg</code> files in the backup and no others.</p>
|
||
<p>This adds an implicit <code>--exclude *</code> at the very end of the filter list. This means you can mix <code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> with the other filters (eg <code>--exclude</code>) but you must include all the files you want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then you must use <code>--filter-from</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="include-from---read-include-patterns-from-file"><code>--include-from</code> - Read include patterns from file</h3>
|
||
<p>Add include rules from a file.</p>
|
||
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>include-file.txt</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code># a sample include rule file
|
||
*.jpg
|
||
*.png
|
||
file2.avi</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then use as <code>--include-from include-file.txt</code>. This will sync all <code>jpg</code>, <code>png</code> files and <code>file2.avi</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This is useful if you have a lot of rules.</p>
|
||
<p>This adds an implicit <code>--exclude *</code> at the very end of the filter list. This means you can mix <code>--include</code> and <code>--include-from</code> with the other filters (eg <code>--exclude</code>) but you must include all the files you want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough flexibility then you must use <code>--filter-from</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="filter---add-a-file-filtering-rule"><code>--filter</code> - Add a file-filtering rule</h3>
|
||
<p>This can be used to add a single include or exclude rule. Include rules start with <code>+</code> and exclude rules start with <code>-</code>. A special rule called <code>!</code> can be used to clear the existing rules.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg <code>--filter "- *.bak"</code> to exclude all bak files from the sync.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="filter-from---read-filtering-patterns-from-a-file"><code>--filter-from</code> - Read filtering patterns from a file</h3>
|
||
<p>Add include/exclude rules from a file.</p>
|
||
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>filter-file.txt</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code># a sample exclude rule file
|
||
- secret*.jpg
|
||
+ *.jpg
|
||
+ *.png
|
||
+ file2.avi
|
||
# exclude everything else
|
||
- *</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then use as <code>--filter-from filter-file.txt</code>. The rules are processed in the order that they are defined.</p>
|
||
<p>This example will include all <code>jpg</code> and <code>png</code> files, exclude any files matching <code>secret*.jpg</code> and include <code>file2.avi</code>. Everything else will be excluded from the sync.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="files-from---read-list-of-source-file-names"><code>--files-from</code> - Read list of source-file names</h3>
|
||
<p>This reads a list of file names from the file passed in and <strong>only</strong> these files are transferred. The filtering rules are ignored completely if you use this option.</p>
|
||
<p>Prepare a file like this <code>files-from.txt</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code># comment
|
||
file1.jpg
|
||
file2.jpg</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then use as <code>--files-from files-from.txt</code>. This will only transfer <code>file1.jpg</code> and <code>file2.jpg</code> providing they exist.</p>
|
||
<p>For example, let's say you had a few files you want to back up regularly with these absolute paths:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>/home/user1/important
|
||
/home/user1/dir/file
|
||
/home/user2/stuff</code></pre>
|
||
<p>To copy these you'd find a common subdirectory - in this case <code>/home</code> and put the remaining files in <code>files-from.txt</code> with or without leading <code>/</code>, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>user1/important
|
||
user1/dir/file
|
||
user2/stuff</code></pre>
|
||
<p>You could then copy these to a remote like this</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt /home remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The 3 files will arrive in <code>remote:backup</code> with the paths as in the <code>files-from.txt</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>You could of course choose <code>/</code> as the root too in which case your <code>files-from.txt</code> might look like this.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>/home/user1/important
|
||
/home/user1/dir/file
|
||
/home/user2/stuff</code></pre>
|
||
<p>And you would transfer it like this</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy --files-from files-from.txt / remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>In this case there will be an extra <code>home</code> directory on the remote.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="min-size---dont-transfer-any-file-smaller-than-this"><code>--min-size</code> - Don't transfer any file smaller than this</h3>
|
||
<p>This option controls the minimum size file which will be transferred. This defaults to <code>kBytes</code> but a suffix of <code>k</code>, <code>M</code>, or <code>G</code> can be used.</p>
|
||
<p>For example <code>--min-size 50k</code> means no files smaller than 50kByte will be transferred.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="max-size---dont-transfer-any-file-larger-than-this"><code>--max-size</code> - Don't transfer any file larger than this</h3>
|
||
<p>This option controls the maximum size file which will be transferred. This defaults to <code>kBytes</code> but a suffix of <code>k</code>, <code>M</code>, or <code>G</code> can be used.</p>
|
||
<p>For example <code>--max-size 1G</code> means no files larger than 1GByte will be transferred.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="max-age---dont-transfer-any-file-older-than-this"><code>--max-age</code> - Don't transfer any file older than this</h3>
|
||
<p>This option controls the maximum age of files to transfer. Give in seconds or with a suffix of:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>ms</code> - Milliseconds</li>
|
||
<li><code>s</code> - Seconds</li>
|
||
<li><code>m</code> - Minutes</li>
|
||
<li><code>h</code> - Hours</li>
|
||
<li><code>d</code> - Days</li>
|
||
<li><code>w</code> - Weeks</li>
|
||
<li><code>M</code> - Months</li>
|
||
<li><code>y</code> - Years</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>For example <code>--max-age 2d</code> means no files older than 2 days will be transferred.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="min-age---dont-transfer-any-file-younger-than-this"><code>--min-age</code> - Don't transfer any file younger than this</h3>
|
||
<p>This option controls the minimum age of files to transfer. Give in seconds or with a suffix (see <code>--max-age</code> for list of suffixes)</p>
|
||
<p>For example <code>--min-age 2d</code> means no files younger than 2 days will be transferred.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="delete-excluded---delete-files-on-dest-excluded-from-sync"><code>--delete-excluded</code> - Delete files on dest excluded from sync</h3>
|
||
<p><strong>Important</strong> this flag is dangerous - use with <code>--dry-run</code> and <code>-v</code> first.</p>
|
||
<p>When doing <code>rclone sync</code> this will delete any files which are excluded from the sync on the destination.</p>
|
||
<p>If for example you did a sync from <code>A</code> to <code>B</code> without the <code>--min-size 50k</code> flag</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync A: B:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then you repeated it like this with the <code>--delete-excluded</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This would delete all files on <code>B</code> which are less than 50 kBytes as these are now excluded from the sync.</p>
|
||
<p>Always test first with <code>--dry-run</code> and <code>-v</code> before using this flag.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="dump-filters---dump-the-filters-to-the-output"><code>--dump-filters</code> - dump the filters to the output</h3>
|
||
<p>This dumps the defined filters to the output as regular expressions.</p>
|
||
<p>Useful for debugging.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="quoting-shell-metacharacters">Quoting shell metacharacters</h2>
|
||
<p>The examples above may not work verbatim in your shell as they have shell metacharacters in them (eg <code>*</code>), and may require quoting.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg linux, OSX</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>--include \*.jpg</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>--include '*.jpg'</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>--include='*.jpg'</code></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>In Windows the expansion is done by the command not the shell so this should work fine</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>--include *.jpg</code></li>
|
||
</ul>

|
||
<h3 id="hash">Hash</h3>
|
||
<p>The cloud storage system supports various hash types of the objects.<br />
|
||
The hashes are used when transferring data as an integrity check and can be specifically used with the <code>--checksum</code> flag in syncs and in the <code>check</code> command.</p>
|
||
<p>To use the checksum checks between filesystems they must support a common hash type.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="modtime">ModTime</h3>
|
||
<p>The cloud storage system supports setting modification times on objects. If it does then this enables a using the modification times as part of the sync. If not then only the size will be checked by default, though the MD5SUM can be checked with the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<p>All cloud storage systems support some kind of date on the object and these will be set when transferring from the cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="case-insensitive">Case Insensitive</h3>
|
||
<p>If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to have two files which differ only in case, eg <code>file.txt</code> and <code>FILE.txt</code>. If a cloud storage system is case insensitive then that isn't possible.</p>
|
||
<p>This can cause problems when syncing between a case insensitive system and a case sensitive system. The symptom of this is that no matter how many times you run the sync it never completes fully.</p>
|
||
<p>The local filesystem may or may not be case sensitive depending on OS.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved</li>
|
||
<li>OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case sensitive</li>
|
||
<li>Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file systems (eg FAT formatted USB keys)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Most of the time this doesn't cause any problems as people tend to avoid files whose name differs only by case even on case sensitive systems.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="duplicate-files">Duplicate files</h3>
|
||
<p>If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two objects with the same name.</p>
|
||
<p>This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the <code>rclone dedupe</code> command to rename or remove duplicates.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="google-drive">Google Drive</h2>
|
||
<p>Paths are specified as <code>drive:path</code></p>
|
||
<p>Drive paths may be as deep as required, eg <code>drive:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p>

<p>The initial setup for drive involves getting a token from Google drive which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p>
|
||
<p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called <code>remote</code>. First run:</p>
|
||
<pre><code> rclone config</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>n) New remote
|
||
d) Delete remote
|
||
q) Quit config
|
||
e/n/d/q> n

|
||
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall, or use manual mode.</p>
|
||
<p>You can then use it like this,</p>
|
||
<p>List directories in top level of your drive</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>List all the files in your drive</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>To copy a local directory to a drive directory called backup</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time">Modified time</h3>
|
||
<p>Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="revisions">Revisions</h3>
|
||
<p>Google drive stores revisions of files. When you upload a change to an existing file to google drive using rclone it will create a new revision of that file.</p>
|
||
<p>Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing was</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever comes first).</li>
|
||
<li>They do not count towards a user storage quota.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="deleting-files">Deleting files</h3>
|
||
<p>By default rclone will delete files permanently when requested. If sending them to the trash is required instead then use the <code>--drive-use-trash</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="specific-options">Specific options</h3>
|
||
<p>Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-chunk-sizesize">--drive-chunk-size=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>Upload chunk size. Must a power of 2 >= 256k. Default value is 8 MB.</p>
|
||
<p>Making this larger will improve performance, but note that each chunk is buffered in memory one per transfer.</p>
|
||
<p>Reducing this will reduce memory usage but decrease performance.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-full-list">--drive-full-list</h4>
|
||
<p>No longer does anything - kept for backwards compatibility.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-upload-cutoffsize">--drive-upload-cutoff=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>File size cutoff for switching to chunked upload. Default is 8 MB.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-use-trash">--drive-use-trash</h4>
|
||
<p>Send files to the trash instead of deleting permanently. Defaults to off, namely deleting files permanently.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-auth-owner-only">--drive-auth-owner-only</h4>
|
||
<p>Only consider files owned by the authenticated user. Requires that --drive-full-list=true (default).</p>
|
||
<h4 id="drive-formats">--drive-formats</h4>
|
||
<p>Google documents can only be exported from Google drive. When rclone downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download depending upon this setting.</p>
|
||
<p>By default the formats are <code>docx,xlsx,pptx,svg</code> which are a sensible default for an editable document.</p>
|
||
<p>When choosing a format, rclone runs down the list provided in order and chooses the first file format the doc can be exported as from the list. If the file can't be exported to a format on the formats list, then rclone will choose a format from the default list.</p>
|
||
<p>If you prefer an archive copy then you might use <code>--drive-formats pdf</code>, or if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use <code>--drive-formats ods,odt</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is calles <code>My Spreadsheet</code> on google docs, it will be exported as <code>My Spreadsheet.xlsx</code> or <code>My Spreadsheet.pdf</code> etc.</p>
|
||

<h3 id="limitations">Limitations</h3>
|

<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Amz-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="multipart-uploads">Multipart uploads</h3>
|
||
<p>rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can upload files bigger than 5GB. Note that files uploaded with multipart upload don't have an MD5SUM.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="buckets-and-regions">Buckets and Regions</h3>
|
||
<p>With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (<code>rclone lsd</code>) using any region, but you can only access the content of a bucket from the region it was created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong region, you will get an error, <code>incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX' region</code>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="authentication">Authentication</h3>
|
||
<p>There are two ways to supply <code>rclone</code> with a set of AWS credentials. In order of precedence:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by <code>rclone config</code>)</li>
|
||
<li>set <code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code></li>
|
||
<li>Runtime configuration:</li>
|
||
<li>set <code>env_auth</code> to <code>true</code> in the config file</li>
|
||
<li>Exporting the following environment variables before running <code>rclone</code>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Access Key ID: <code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID</code> or <code>AWS_ACCESS_KEY</code></li>
|
||
<li>Secret Access Key: <code>AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY</code> or <code>AWS_SECRET_KEY</code></li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li>Running <code>rclone</code> on an EC2 instance with an IAM role</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>If none of these option actually end up providing <code>rclone</code> with AWS credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).</p>
|
||
<h3 id="anonymous-access-to-public-buckets">Anonymous access to public buckets</h3>
|
||
<p>If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a blank <code>access_key_id</code> and <code>secret_access_key</code>. Eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>No remotes found - make a new one
|

|
||

|
||
...</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes</code></pre>
|
||
<p>You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="ceph">Ceph</h3>
|
||
<p>Ceph is an object storage system which presents an Amazon S3 interface.</p>
|
||
<p>To use rclone with ceph, you need to set the following parameters in the config.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>access_key_id = Whatever
|
||
secret_access_key = Whatever
|
||
endpoint = https://ceph.endpoint.goes.here/
|
||
region = other-v2-signature</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Note also that Ceph sometimes puts <code>/</code> in the passwords it gives users. If you read the secret access key using the command line tools you will get a JSON blob with the <code>/</code> escaped as <code>\/</code>. Make sure you only write <code>/</code> in the secret access key.</p>
|
||
<p>Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys removed).</p>
|
||
<pre><code>{
|
||
"user_id": "xxx",
|
||
"display_name": "xxxx",
|
||
"keys": [
|
||
{
|
||
"user": "xxx",
|
||
"access_key": "xxxxxx",
|
||
"secret_key": "xxxxxx\/xxxx"
|
||
}
|
||
],
|
||
}</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the <code>/</code> as <code>\/</code>, so if you use the secret key as <code>xxxxxx/xxxx</code> it will work fine.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="minio">Minio</h3>

<p>Minio doesn't support all the features of S3 yet. In particular it doesn't support MD5 checksums (ETags) or metadata. This means rclone can't check MD5SUMs or store the modified date. However you can work around this with the <code>--size-only</code> flag of rclone.</p>

<p>Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="swift-chunk-sizesize">--swift-chunk-size=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time-2">Modified time</h3>
|
||
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Object-Meta-Mtime</code> as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.</p>
|
||
<p>This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="limitations-1">Limitations</h3>
|
||
<p>The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files (Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the MD5SUM for these.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h3>
|
||
<h4 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-for-remote-bad-request">Rclone gives Failed to create file system for "remote:": Bad Request</h4>
|
||
<p>Due to an oddity of the underlying swift library, it gives a "Bad Request" error rather than a more sensible error when the authentication fails for Swift.</p>
|
||
<p>So this most likely means your username / password is wrong. You can investigate further with the <code>--dump-bodies</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-create-file-system-response-didnt-have-storage-storage-url-and-auth-token">Rclone gives Failed to create file system: Response didn't have storage storage url and auth token</h4>
|

<p>This is most likely caused by forgetting to specify your tenant when setting up a swift remote.</p>

<h3 id="modified-time-and-md5sums">Modified time and MD5SUMs</h3>
|
||
<p>Dropbox doesn't provide the ability to set modification times in the V1 public API, so rclone can't support modified time with Dropbox.</p>
|
||
<p>This may change in the future - see these issues for details:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/349">Dropbox V2 API</a></li>
|
||
<li><a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/348">Allow syncs for remotes that can't set modtime on existing objects</a></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Dropbox doesn't return any sort of checksum (MD5 or SHA1).</p>
|
||
<p>Together that means that syncs to dropbox will effectively have the <code>--size-only</code> flag set.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="specific-options-2">Specific options</h3>
|

<p>Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.</p>

<p>Upload chunk size. Max 150M. The default is 128MB. Note that this isn't buffered into memory.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="limitations-2">Limitations</h3>
|
||
<p>Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
|
||
<p>There are some file names such as <code>thumbs.db</code> which Dropbox can't store. There is a full list of them in the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145">"Ignored Files" section of this document</a>. Rclone will issue an error message <code>File name disallowed - not uploading</code> if it attempt to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.</p>
|
||
<p>If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then <code>rclone purge dropbox:dir</code> will return the error <code>Failed to purge: There are too many files involved in this operation</code>. As a work-around do an <code>rclone delete dropbix:dir</code> followed by an <code>rclone rmdir dropbox:dir</code>.</p>

<h3 id="service-account-support">Service Account support</h3>
|
||
<p>You can set up rclone with Google Cloud Storage in an unattended mode, i.e. not tied to a specific end-user Google account. This is useful when you want to synchronise files onto machines that don't have actively logged-in users, for example build machines.</p>
|
||
<p>To get credentials for Google Cloud Platform <a href="https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts">IAM Service Accounts</a>, please head to the <a href="https://console.cloud.google.com/permissions/serviceaccounts">Service Account</a> section of the Google Developer Console. Service Accounts behave just like normal <code>User</code> permissions in <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control">Google Cloud Storage ACLs</a>, so you can limit their access (e.g. make them read only). After creating an account, a JSON file containing the Service Account's credentials will be downloaded onto your machines. These credentials are what rclone will use for authentication.</p>
|
||
<p>To use a Service Account instead of OAuth2 token flow, enter the path to your Service Account credentials at the <code>service_account_file</code> prompt and rclone won't use the browser based authentication flow.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time-3">Modified time</h3>
|

<p>Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores modification times as metadata on the object, under the "mtime" key in RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.</p>

This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
|
||
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
|
||
<p>List directories in top level of your Amazon Drive</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>List all the files in your Amazon Drive</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>To copy a local directory to an Amazon Drive directory called backup</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time-and-md5sums-1">Modified time and MD5SUMs</h3>
|
||
<p>Amazon Drive doesn't allow modification times to be changed via the API so these won't be accurate or used for syncing.</p>
|
||
<p>It does store MD5SUMs so for a more accurate sync, you can use the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="deleting-files-1">Deleting files</h3>
|
||
<p>Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Amazon don't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the trash, so you will have to do that with one of Amazon's apps or via the Amazon Drive website.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="specific-options-3">Specific options</h3>
|
||
<p>Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="acd-templink-thresholdsize">--acd-templink-threshold=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>Files this size or more will be downloaded via their <code>tempLink</code>. This is to work around a problem with Amazon Drive which blocks downloads of files bigger than about 10GB. The default for this is 9GB which shouldn't need to be changed.</p>
|
||
<p>To download files above this threshold, rclone requests a <code>tempLink</code> which downloads the file through a temporary URL directly from the underlying S3 storage.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="limitations-3">Limitations</h3>
|
||
<p>Note that Amazon Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".</p>
|
||
<p>Amazon Drive has rate limiting so you may notice errors in the sync (429 errors). rclone will automatically retry the sync up to 3 times by default (see <code>--retries</code> flag) which should hopefully work around this problem.</p>
|
||
<p>Amazon Drive has an internal limit of file sizes that can be uploaded to the service. This limit is not officially published, but all files larger than this will fail.</p>
|
||
<p>At the time of writing (Jan 2016) is in the area of 50GB per file. This means that larger files are likely to fail.</p>
|
||
<p>Unfortunatly there is no way for rclone to see that this failure is because of file size, so it will retry the operation, as any other failure. To avoid this problem, use <code>--max-size=50GB</code> option to limit the maximum size of uploaded files.</p>

<p>Rclone only supports your default One Drive, and doesn't work with One Drive for business. Both these issues may be fixed at some point depending on user demand!</p>
|
||
<p>There are quite a few characters that can't be in One Drive file names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a <code>?</code> in it will be mapped to <code>?</code> instead.</p>

<h3 id="modified-time-5">Modified time</h3>
|
||
<p>The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as <code>X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis</code> as milliseconds since 1970-01-01 in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as a modified time.</p>
|
||
<p>Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in the case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In this case the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn't have an API method to set the modification time independent of doing an upload.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="sha1-checksums">SHA1 checksums</h3>
|
||
<p>The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and will be used in the syncing process.</p>
|
||
<p>Large files which are uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the object as <code>X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1</code> as recommended by Backblaze.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="transfers">Transfers</h3>
|
||
<p>Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equiped laptop the optimum setting is about <code>--transfers 32</code> though higher numbers may be used for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want to load your computer, etc. The default of <code>--transfers 4</code> is definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that uploading big files (bigger than 200 MB by default) will use a 96 MB RAM buffer by default. There can be at most <code>--transfers</code> of these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory used.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="versions">Versions</h3>
|
||
<p>When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html">new version of it</a>. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will still be available.</p>
|
||
<p>Old versions of files are visible using the <code>--b2-versions</code> flag.</p>
|
||
<p>If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket</code> command which will delete all the old versions of files, leaving the current ones intact. You can also supply a path and only old versions under that path will be deleted, eg <code>rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>When you <code>purge</code> a bucket, the current and the old versions will be deleted then the bucket will be deleted.</p>
|
||
<p>However <code>delete</code> will cause the current versions of the files to become hidden old versions.</p>
|
||
<p>Here is a session showing the listing and and retreival of an old version followed by a <code>cleanup</code> of the old versions.</p>
|

<p>Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="b2-chunk-size-valueesize">--b2-chunk-size valuee=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>When uploading large files chunk the file into this size. Note that these chunks are buffered in memory and there might a maximum of <code>--transfers</code> chunks in progress at once. 100,000,000 Bytes is the minimim size (default 96M).</p>
|
||
<h4 id="b2-upload-cutoffsize">--b2-upload-cutoff=SIZE</h4>
|
||
<p>Cutoff for switching to chunked upload (default 190.735 MiB == 200 MB). Files above this size will be uploaded in chunks of <code>--b2-chunk-size</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This value should be set no larger than 4.657GiB (== 5GB) as this is the largest file size that can be uploaded.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="b2-test-modeflag">--b2-test-mode=FLAG</h4>
|
||
<p>This is for debugging purposes only.</p>
|
||
<p>Setting FLAG to one of the strings below will cause b2 to return specific errors for debugging purposes.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>fail_some_uploads</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>expire_some_account_authorization_tokens</code></li>
|
||
<li><code>force_cap_exceeded</code></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>These will be set in the <code>X-Bz-Test-Mode</code> header which is documented in the <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/integration_checklist.html">b2 integrations checklist</a>.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="b2-versions">--b2-versions</h4>
|
||
<p>When set rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For example</p>
|
||
<p>Listing without <code>--b2-versions</code></p>
|
||
<pre><code>$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test

|
||
<p>Showing that the current version is unchanged but older versions can be seen. These have the UTC date that they were uploaded to the server to the nearest millisecond appended to them.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that when using <code>--b2-versions</code> no file write operations are permitted, so you can't upload files or delete them.</p>

y/e/d> y</code></pre>
|
||
<p>See the <a href="http://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from Yandex Disk. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p>
|
||
<p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p>
|
||
<p>See top level directories</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone lsd remote:</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Make a new directory</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone mkdir remote:directory</code></pre>
|
||
<p>List the contents of a directory</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:directory</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Sync <code>/home/local/directory</code> to the remote path, deleting any excess files in the path.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:directory</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time-6">Modified time</h3>
|
||
<p>Modified times are supported and are stored accurate to 1 ns in custom metadata called <code>rclone_modified</code> in RFC3339 with nanoseconds format.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="md5-checksums">MD5 checksums</h3>
|
||
<p>MD5 checksums are natively supported by Yandex Disk.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="local-filesystem">Local Filesystem</h2>
|
||
<p>Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg <code>/path/to/wherever</code>, so</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Will sync <code>/home/source</code> to <code>/tmp/destination</code></p>
|
||
<p>These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake, but it is probably easier not to.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="modified-time-7">Modified time</h3>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="filenames">Filenames</h3>
|
||
<p>Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the normal case for Windows and OS X.</p>
|
||
<p>There is a bit more uncertainty in the Linux world, but new distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files names. If you are using an old Linux filesystem with non UTF-8 file names (eg latin1) then you can use the <code>convmv</code> tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8. This tool is available in most distributions' package managers.</p>
|
||
<p>If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '<27>'. <code>rclone</code> will emit a debug message in this case (use <code>-v</code> to see), eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="long-paths-on-windows">Long paths on Windows</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to long <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath">UNC paths</a> which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.</p>
|
||
<p>This is why you will see that your paths, for instance <code>c:\files</code> is converted to the UNC path <code>\\?\c:\files</code> in the output, and <code>\\server\share</code> is converted to <code>\\?\UNC\server\share</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file system drivers like <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/261">EncFS</a>. To disable UNC conversion globally, add this to your <code>.rclone.conf</code> file:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>[local]
|
||
nounc = true</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate entry like this:</p>
|
||
<pre><code>[nounc]
|
||
type = local
|
||
nounc = true</code></pre>
|
||
<p>And use rclone like this:</p>
|
||
<p><code>rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst</code></p>
|
||
<p>This will use UNC paths on <code>c:\src</code> but not on <code>z:\dst</code>. Of course this will cause problems if the absolute path length of a file exceeds 258 characters on z, so only use this option if you have to.</p>

|
||
<h3 id="empty-directories-are-left-behind-not-created">Empty directories are left behind / not created</h3>
|
||
<p>With remotes that have a concept of directory, eg Local and Drive, empty directories may be left behind, or not created when one was expected.</p>
|
||
<p>This is because rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only works on objects. Most of the object storage systems can't actually store a directory so there is nowhere for rclone to store anything about directories.</p>
|
||
<p>You can work round this to some extent with the<code>purge</code> command which will delete everything under the path, <strong>inluding</strong> empty directories.</p>
|
||
<p>This may be fixed at some point in <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/100">Issue #100</a></p>
|
||
<h3 id="directory-timestamps-arent-preserved">Directory timestamps aren't preserved</h3>
|
||
<p>For the same reason as the above, rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only works on objects, therefore it can't preserve the timestamps of directories.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
|
||
<h3 id="do-all-cloud-storage-systems-support-all-rclone-commands">Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands</h3>
|
||
<p>Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg <code>sync</code>, <code>copy</code> etc) will work on all the remote storage systems.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="can-i-copy-the-config-from-one-machine-to-another">Can I copy the config from one machine to another</h3>
|
||
<p>Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want to find this file, the simplest way is to run <code>rclone -h</code> and look at the help for the <code>--config</code> flag which will tell you where it is.</p>
|
||
<p>See the <a href="http://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for more info.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="how-do-i-configure-rclone-on-a-remote-headless-box-with-no-browser">How do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser?</h3>
|
||
<p>This has now been documented in its own <a href="http://rclone.org/remote_setup/">remote setup page</a>.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="can-rclone-sync-directly-from-drive-to-s3">Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so the node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.</p>
|
||
<p>The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).</p>
|
||
<p>Eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>rclone sync drive:Folder s3:bucket</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="using-rclone-from-multiple-locations-at-the-same-time">Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time</h3>
|
||
<p>You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose different subdirectory for the output, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Server A> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
|
||
Server B> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB</code></pre>
|
||
<p>If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy otherwise the two rclones may delete each others files, eg</p>
|
||
<pre><code>Server A> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
|
||
Server B> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup</code></pre>
|
||
<p>The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be different in this case, otherwise some file systems (eg Drive) may make duplicates.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="why-doesnt-rclone-support-partial-transfers-binary-diffs-like-rsync">Why doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync?</h3>
|
||
<p>Rclone stores each file you transfer as a native object on the remote cloud storage system. This means that you can see the files you upload as expected using alternative access methods (eg using the Google Drive web interface). There is a 1:1 mapping between files on your hard disk and objects created in the cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<p>Cloud storage systems (at least none I've come across yet) don't support partially uploading an object. You can't take an existing object, and change some bytes in the middle of it.</p>
|
||
<p>It would be possible to make a sync system which stored binary diffs instead of whole objects like rclone does, but that would break the 1:1 mapping of files on your hard disk to objects in the remote cloud storage system.</p>
|
||
<p>All the cloud storage systems support partial downloads of content, so it would be possible to make partial downloads work. However to make this work efficiently this would require storing a significant amount of metadata, which breaks the desired 1:1 mapping of files to objects.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="can-rclone-do-bi-directional-sync">Can rclone do bi-directional sync?</h3>
|
||
<p>No, not at present. rclone only does uni-directional sync from A -> B. It may do in the future though since it has all the primitives - it just requires writing the algorithm to do it.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="can-i-use-rclone-with-an-http-proxy">Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy?</h3>
|
||
<p>Yes. rclone will use the environment variables <code>HTTP_PROXY</code>, <code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> and <code>NO_PROXY</code>, similar to cURL and other programs.</p>
|
||
<p><code>HTTPS_PROXY</code> takes precedence over <code>HTTP_PROXY</code> for https requests.</p>
|
||
<p>The environment values may be either a complete URL or a "host[:port]", in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.</p>
|
||
<p>The <code>NO_PROXY</code> allows you to disable the proxy for specific hosts. Hosts must be comma separated, and can contain domains or parts. For instance "foo.com" also matches "bar.foo.com".</p>
|
||
<h3 id="rclone-gives-x509-failed-to-load-system-roots-and-no-roots-provided-error">Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error</h3>
|
||
<p>This means that <code>rclone</code> can't file the SSL root certificates. Likely you are running <code>rclone</code> on a NAS with a cut-down Linux OS, or possibly on Solaris.</p>
|
||
<p>Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from these places on Linux.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
|
||
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", // Fedora/RHEL
|
||
"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem", // OpenSUSE
|
||
"/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem", // OpenELEC</code></pre>
|
||
<p>So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the time which is important for SSL to work properly.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs/
|
||
curl -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
|
||
ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Note that you may need to add the <code>--insecure</code> option to the <code>curl</code> command line if it doesn't work without.</p>
|
||
<pre><code>curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt</code></pre>
|
||
<h3 id="rclone-gives-failed-to-load-config-file-function-not-implemented-error">Rclone gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error</h3>
|
||
<p>Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.</p>
|
||
<p>See the <a href="https://golang.org/doc/install">system requirements section in the go install docs</a> for full details.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="all-my-uploaded-docxxlsxpptx-files-appear-as-archivezip">All my uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip</h3>
|
||
<p>This is caused by uploading these files from a Windows computer which hasn't got the Microsoft Office suite installed. The easiest way to fix is to install the Word viewer and the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 and later versions' file formats</p>
