Copying files or directories with `:` in the names
--------------------------------------------------
rclone uses `:` to mark a remote name. This is, however, a valid
filename component in non-Windows OSes. The remote name parser will
only search for a `:` up to the first `/` so if you need to act on a
file or directory like this then use the full path starting with a
`/`, or use `./` as a current directory prefix.
So to sync a directory called `sync:me` to a remote called `remote:` use
rclone sync ./sync:me remote:path
or
rclone sync /full/path/to/sync:me remote:path
