Install
Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
Download the relevant binary.
Or alternatively if you have Go installed use
go get github.com/ncw/rclone
and this will build the binary in $GOPATH/bin.
Configure
First you'll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems
have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file
.rclone.conf in your home directory by default. (You can use the
--config option to choose a different config file.)
The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config option:
rclone config
See below for detailed instructions for
Usage
Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.
Its syntax is like this
Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters> <parameters...>
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.
You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.
Subcommands
rclone copy source:path dest:path
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.
rclone sync source:path dest:path
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. Since this can
cause data loss, test first with the --dry-run flag.
rclone ls [remote:path]
List all the objects in the the path with size and path.
rclone lsd [remote:path]
List all directories/containers/buckets in the the path.
rclone lsl [remote:path]
List all the objects in the the path with modification time, size and path.
rclone md5sum [remote:path]
Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path. This is in the same format as the standard md5sum tool produces.
rclone mkdir remote:path
Make the path if it doesn't already exist
rclone rmdir remote:path
Remove the path. Note that you can't remove a path with objects in it, use purge for that.
rclone purge remote:path
Remove the path and all of its contents.
rclone check source:path dest:path
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.
rclone config
Enter an interactive configuration session.
