This allows rclone to exit with a non-zero return code if no files are
transferred. This is useful when calling rclone as part of a workflow/script
pipeline as it allows the end user to stop processing if no files have been
transferred.
NB: Enabling this option will return in rclone exiting non-zero if there are no
transfers. Depending on how your're currently using rclone in your scripts,
this may break existing setups!
--files-from parses input files by ignoring comments starting with # and ;
and stripping whitespace from start and end of strings.
The --files-from-raw flag was added that reads every line from the file ignoring
comment characters and not stripping whitespace while maintaining
backwards compatibility.
Fixes#3762
This commit adds the `--track-renames-strategy` flag which allows the
user to choose the strategy for tracking renames when using the
`--track-renames` flag.
This can be "hash" or "modtime" or both currently.
This, when used with `--track-renames-strategy modtime` enables
support for tracking renames in encrypted remotes.
Fixes#3696Fixes#2721
This gives you more control over how long rclone will run for, making
it easier to script backups, e.g. via cron. Once the `--max-duration`
time limit is reached, no new transfers will be initiated, but those
already in-flight will be allowed to complete.
Fixes#985
Before this change the expect/continue timeout was set to
--conntimeout which was 60s by default which is too long to wait.
This was noticed when using s3 with a proxy which apparently didn't
support expect / continue properly.
Set --expect-continue-timeout 0 to disable expect/continue.
Before this change --update would transfer any file which was newer
than the destination regardless of whether it had changed or not.
This is needlessly wasteful of bandwidth.
After this change --update will only transfer files if they are newer
**and** they are different (checked with checksum and size).
It's likely a mistake to use `--use-server-modtime` if you're not also using `--update`. It might even make sense to emit a warning in the code when doing this, but for now, I made it more clear in the docs.
I also clarified how `--use-server-modtime` can be useful in the `--update` section.
This was started by Fionera, finished off by Laura with fixes and more
docs from Nick.
