|
||
-------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg `/path/to/wherever`, so
|
||
|
||
rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination
|
||
|
||
Will sync `/home/source` to `/tmp/destination`
|
||
|
||
These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake,
|
||
but it is probably easier not to.
|
||
|
||
### Modified time ###
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
### Filenames ###
|
||
|
||
Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the
|
||
normal case for Windows and OS X. There is a bit more uncertainty in
|
||
the Linux world, but new distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files
|
||
names.
|
||
|
||
If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will
|
||
be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '<27>'. `rclone`
|
||
will emit a debug message in this case (use `-v` to see), eg
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"
|
||
```
