Bugs and Limitations
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
### Empty directories are left behind / not created ##
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can work round this to some extent with the`purge` command which
|
|
will delete everything under the path, **inluding** empty directories.
|
|
|
|
This may be fixed at some point in
|
|
[Issue #100](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/100)
|
|
|
|
### Directory timestamps aren't preserved ##
|
|
|
|
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.
