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
|
2014-03-28 22:34:13 +00:00
|
|
|
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, '�'. `rclone`
|
2015-06-06 09:05:21 +00:00
|
|
|
will emit a debug message in this case (use `-v` to see), eg
|
2015-05-21 17:40:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
