Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Rclone is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
|
|
|
|
[Download](http://rclone.org/downloads/) the relevant binary.
|
|
|
|
Or alternatively if you have Go 1.5+ installed use
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/ncw/rclone
|
|
|
|
and this will build the binary in `$GOPATH/bin`. If you have built
|
|
rclone before then you will want to update its dependencies first with
|
|
this
|
|
|
|
go get -u -v github.com/ncw/rclone/...
|
|
|
|
See the [Usage section](http://rclone.org/docs/) of the docs for how to use rclone, or
|
|
run `rclone -h`.
|
|
|
|
linux binary downloaded files install example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
unzip rclone-v1.17-linux-amd64.zip
|
|
cd rclone-v1.17-linux-amd64
|
|
#copy binary file
|
|
sudo cp rclone /usr/sbin/
|
|
sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/rclone
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/rclone
|
|
#install manpage
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
|
|
sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
|
|
sudo mandb
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

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.
|
|
|
|
Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced,
|
|
not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the
|
|
contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and
|
|
contents.
|
|
|
|
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
|
|
go there.
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
|
|
rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath
|
|
|
|
Let's say there are two files in sourcepath
|
|
|
|
sourcepath/one.txt
|
|
sourcepath/two.txt
|
|
|
|
This copies them to
|
|
|
|
destpath/one.txt
|
|
destpath/two.txt
|
|
|
|
Not to
|
|
|
|
destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
|
|
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt
|
|
|
|
If you are familiar with `rsync`, rclone always works as if you had
|
|
written a trailing / - meaning "copy the contents of this directory".
|
|
This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the
|
|
source or 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.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
|
|
`--dry-run` flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.
|
|
|
|
Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any
|
|
errors at any point.
|
|
|
|
It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
|
|
directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
|
|
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See
|
|
extended explanation in the `copy` command above if unsure.
|
|
|
|
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents
|
|
go there.
|
|
|
|
### move source:path dest:path ###
|
|
|
|
Moves the source to the destination.
|
|
|
|
If there are no filters in use this is equivalent to a copy followed
|
|
by a purge, but may using server side operations to speed it up if
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
If filters are in use then it is equivalent to a copy followed by
|
|
delete, followed by an rmdir (which only removes the directory if
|
|
empty). The individual file moves will be moved with srver side
|
|
operations if possible.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: 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 sha1sum remote:path ###
|
|
|
|
Produces an sha1sum file for all the objects in the path. This
|
|
is in the same format as the standard sha1sum tool produces.
|
|
|
|
### rclone size remote:path ###
|
|
|
|
Prints the total size of objects in remote:path and the number of
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
### 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. Note that this does not obey
|
|
include/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use `delete` if
|
|
you want to selectively delete files.
|
|
|
|
### rclone delete remote:path ###
|
|
|
|
Remove the contents of path. Unlike `purge` it obeys include/exclude
|
|
filters so can be used to selectively delete files.
|
|
|
|
Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes
|
|
|
|
Check what would be deleted first (use either)
|
|
|
|
rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
|
|
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path
|
|
|
|
Then delete
|
|
|
|
rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path
|
|
|
|
That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB", hence
|
|
delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
`--size-only` may be used to only compare the sizes, not the MD5SUMs.
|
|
|
|
### rclone dedupe remote:path ###
|
|
|
|
By default `dedup` interactively finds duplicate files and offers to
|
|
delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with
|
|
Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.
|
|
|
|
The `dedupe` command will delete all but one of any identical (same
|
|
md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most
|
|
duplicated files the `dedupe` command will not be interactive. You
|
|
can use `--dry-run` to see what would happen without doing anything.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example run.
|
|
|
|
Before - with duplicates
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rclone lsl drive:dupes
|
|

|
|
|
|
Dedupe can be run non interactively using the `--dedupe-mode` flag.
|
|
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode interactive` - interactive as above.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode skip` - removes identical files then skips anything left.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode first` - removes identical files then keeps the first one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode newest` - removes identical files then keeps the newest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode oldest` - removes identical files then keeps the oldest one.
|
|
* `--dedupe-mode rename` - removes identical files then renames the rest to be different.
|
|
|
|
For example to rename all the identically named photos in your Google Photos directory, do
|
|
|
|
rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode rename "drive:Google Photos"
|
|
|
|
### rclone config ###
|
|
|
|
Enter an interactive configuration session.
|
|
|
|
### rclone help ###
|
|
|
|
Prints help on rclone commands and options.

|
|
|
Server Side Copy
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Drive, S3, Dropbox, Swift and Google Cloud Storage support server side
|
|
copy.
|
|
|
|
This means if you want to copy one folder to another then rclone won't
|
|
download all the files and re-upload them; it will instruct the server
|
|
to copy them in place.
|
|
|
|
Eg
|
|
|
|
rclone copy s3:oldbucket s3:newbucket
|
|
|
|
Will copy the contents of `oldbucket` to `newbucket` without
|
|
downloading and re-uploading.
|
|
|
|
Remotes which don't support server side copy (eg local) **will**
|
|
download and re-upload in this case.
|
|
|
|
Server side copies are used with `sync` and `copy` and will be
|
|
identified in the log when using the `-v` flag.
|
|
|
|
Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the
|
|
same.
|
|
|
|
This can be used when scripting to make aged backups efficiently, eg
|
|
|
|
rclone sync remote:current-backup remote:previous-backup
|
|
rclone sync /path/to/files remote:current-backup
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Rclone has a number of options to control its behaviour.
|
|
|
|
Options which use TIME use the go time parser. A duration string is a
|
|
possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional
|
|
fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid
|
|
time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
|
|
|
|
Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However a suffix of `k`
|
|
for kBytes, `M` for MBytes and `G` for GBytes may be used. These are
|
|
the binary units, eg 2\*\*10, 2\*\*20, 2\*\*30 respectively.
|
|
|
|
### --bwlimit=SIZE ###
|
|
|
|
Bandwidth limit in kBytes/s, or use suffix k|M|G. The default is `0`
|
|
which means to not limit bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
For example to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use `--bwlimit 10M`
|
|
|
|
This only limits the bandwidth of the data transfer, it doesn't limit
|
|
the bandwith of the directory listings etc.
|
|
|
|
### --checkers=N ###
|
|
|
|
The number of checkers to run in parallel. Checkers do the equality
|
|
checking of files during a sync. For some storage systems (eg s3,
|
|
swift, dropbox) this can take a significant amount of time so they are
|
|
run in parallel.
|
|
|
|
The default is to run 8 checkers in parallel.
|
|
|
|
### -c, --checksum ###
|
|
|
|
Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to
|
|
see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check
|
|
the file hash and size to determine if files are equal.
|
|
|
|
This is useful when the remote doesn't support setting modified time
|
|
and a more accurate sync is desired than just checking the file size.
|
|
|
|
This is very useful when transferring between remotes which store the
|
|
same hash type on the object, eg Drive and Swift. For details of which
|
|
remotes support which hash type see the table in the [overview
|
|
section](http://rclone.org/overview/).
|
|
|
|
Eg `rclone --checksum sync s3:/bucket swift:/bucket` would run much
|
|
quicker than without the `--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if
|
|
they are incorrect as it would normally.
|
|
|
|
### --config=CONFIG_FILE ###
|
|
|
|
Specify the location of the rclone config file. Normally this is in
|
|
your home directory as a file called `.rclone.conf`. If you run
|
|
`rclone -h` and look at the help for the `--config` option you will
|
|
see where the default location is for you. Use this flag to override
|
|
the config location, eg `rclone --config=".myconfig" .config`.
|
|
|
|
### --contimeout=TIME ###
|
|
|
|
Set the connection timeout. This should be in go time format which
|
|
looks like `5s` for 5 seconds, `10m` for 10 minutes, or `3h30m`.
|
|
|
|
The connection timeout is the amount of time rclone will wait for a
|
|
connection to go through to a remote object storage system. It is
|
|
`1m` by default.
|
|
|
|
### --dedupe-mode MODE ###
|
|
|
|
Mode to run dedupe command in. One of `interactive`, `skip`, `first`, `newest`, `oldest`, `rename`. The default is `interactive`. See the dedupe command for more information as to what these options mean.
|
|
|
|
### -n, --dry-run ###
|
|
|
|
Do a trial run with no permanent changes. Use this to see what rclone
|
|
would do without actually doing it. Useful when setting up the `sync`
|
|
command which deletes files in the destination.
|
|
|
|
### --ignore-existing ###
|
|
|
|
Using this option will make rclone unconditionally skip all files
|
|
that exist on the destination, no matter the content of these files.
|
|
|
|
While this isn't a generally recommended option, it can be useful
|
|
in cases where your files change due to encryption. However, it cannot
|
|
correct partial transfers in case a transfer was interrupted.
|
|
|
|
### -I, --ignore-times ###
|
|
|
|
Using this option will cause rclone to unconditionally upload all
|
|
files regardless of the state of files on the destination.
|
|
|
|
Normally rclone would skip any files that have the same
|
|
modification time and are the same size (or have the same checksum if
|
|
using `--checksum`).
|
|
|
|
### --log-file=FILE ###
|
|
|
|
Log all of rclone's output to FILE. This is not active by default.
|
|
This can be useful for tracking down problems with syncs in
|
|
combination with the `-v` flag.
|
|
|
|
### --low-level-retries NUMBER ###
|
|
|
|
This controls the number of low level retries rclone does.
|
|
|
|
A low level retry is used to retry a failing operation - typically one
|
|
HTTP request. This might be uploading a chunk of a big file for
|
|
example. You will see low level retries in the log with the `-v`
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
This shouldn't need to be changed from the default in normal
|
|
operations, however if you get a lot of low level retries you may wish
|
|
to reduce the value so rclone moves on to a high level retry (see the
|
|
`--retries` flag) quicker.
|
|
|
|
Disable low level retries with `--low-level-retries 1`.
|
|
|
|
### --modify-window=TIME ###
|
|
|
|
When checking whether a file has been modified, this is the maximum
|
|
allowed time difference that a file can have and still be considered
|
|
equivalent.
|
|
|
|
The default is `1ns` unless this is overridden by a remote. For
|
|
example OS X only stores modification times to the nearest second so
|
|
if you are reading and writing to an OS X filing system this will be
|
|
`1s` by default.
|
|
|
|
This command line flag allows you to override that computed default.
|
|
|
|
### --no-gzip-encoding ###
|
|
|
|
Don't set `Accept-Encoding: gzip`. This means that rclone won't ask
|
|
the server for compressed files automatically. Useful if you've set
|
|
the server to return files with `Content-Encoding: gzip` but you
|
|
uploaded compressed files.
|
|
|
|
There is no need to set this in normal operation, and doing so will
|
|
decrease the network transfer efficiency of rclone.
|
|
|
|
### -q, --quiet ###
|
|
|
|
Normally rclone outputs stats and a completion message. If you set
|
|
this flag it will make as little output as possible.
|
|
|
|
### --retries int ###
|
|
|
|
Retry the entire sync if it fails this many times it fails (default 3).
|
|
|
|
Some remotes can be unreliable and a few retries helps pick up the
|
|
files which didn't get transferred because of errors.
|
|
|
|
Disable retries with `--retries 1`.
|
|
|
|
### --size-only ###
|
|
|
|
Normally rclone will look at modification time and size of files to
|
|
see if they are equal. If you set this flag then rclone will check
|
|
only the size.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful transferring files from dropbox which have been
|
|
modified by the desktop sync client which doesn't set checksums of
|
|
modification times in the same way as rclone.
|
|
|
|
When using this flag, rclone won't update mtimes of remote files if
|
|
they are incorrect as it would normally.
|
|
|
|
### --stats=TIME ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone will print stats at regular intervals to show its progress.
|
|
|
|
This sets the interval.
|
|
|
|
The default is `1m`. Use 0 to disable.
|
|
|
|
### --delete-(before,during,after) ###
|
|
|
|
This option allows you to specify when files on your destination are
|
|
deleted when you sync folders.
|
|
|
|
Specifying the value `--delete-before` will delete all files present on the
|
|
destination, but not on the source *before* starting the transfer
|
|
of any new or updated files.
|
|
|
|
Specifying `--delete-during` (default value) will delete files while checking
|
|
and uploading files. This is usually the fastest option.
|
|
|
|
Specifying `--delete-after` will delay deletion of files until all new/updated
|
|
files have been successfully transfered.
|
|
|
|
### --timeout=TIME ###
|
|
|
|
This sets the IO idle timeout. If a transfer has started but then
|
|
becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected.
|
|
|
|
The default is `5m`. Set to 0 to disable.
|
|
|
|
### --transfers=N ###
|
|
|
|
The number of file transfers to run in parallel. It can sometimes be
|
|
useful to set this to a smaller number if the remote is giving a lot
|
|
of timeouts or bigger if you have lots of bandwidth and a fast remote.
|
|
|
|
The default is to run 4 file transfers in parallel.
|
|
|
|
### -u, --update ###
|
|
|
|
This forces rclone to skip any files which exist on the destination
|
|
and have a modified time that is newer than the source file.
|
|
|
|
If an existing destination file has a modification time equal (within
|
|
the computed modify window precision) to the source file's, it will be
|
|
updated if the sizes are different.
|
|
|
|
On remotes which don't support mod time directly the time checked will
|
|
be the uploaded time. This means that if uploading to one of these
|
|
remoes, rclone will skip any files which exist on the destination and
|
|
have an uploaded time that is newer than the modification time of the
|
|
source file.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful when transferring to a remote which doesn't support
|
|
mod times directly as it is more accurate than a `--size-only` check
|
|
and faster than using `--checksum`.
|
|
|
|
### -v, --verbose ###
|
|
|
|
If you set this flag, rclone will become very verbose telling you
|
|
about every file it considers and transfers.
|
|
|
|
Very useful for debugging.
|
|
|
|
### -V, --version ###
|
|
|
|
Prints the version number
|
|
|
|
Configuration Encryption
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Your configuration file contains information for logging in to
|
|
your cloud services. This means that you should keep your
|
|
`.rclone.conf` file in a secure location.
|
|
|
|
If you are in an environment where that isn't possible, you can
|
|
add a password to your configuration. This means that you will
|
|
have to enter the password every time you start rclone.
|
|
|
|
To add a password to your rclone configuration, execute `rclone config`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
>rclone config
|
|
Current remotes:
|
|
|
|
e) Edit existing remote
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
d) Delete remote
|
|
s) Set configuration password
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
e/n/d/s/q>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go into `s`, Set configuration password:
|
|
```
|
|
e/n/d/s/q> s
|
|
Your configuration is not encrypted.
|
|
If you add a password, you will protect your login information to cloud services.
|
|
a) Add Password
|
|
q) Quit to main menu
|
|
a/q> a
|
|
Enter NEW configuration password:
|
|
password>
|
|
Confirm NEW password:
|
|
password>
|
|
Password set
|
|
Your configuration is encrypted.
|
|
c) Change Password
|
|
u) Unencrypt configuration
|
|
q) Quit to main menu
|
|
c/u/q>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your configuration is now encrypted, and every time you start rclone
|
|
you will now be asked for the password. In the same menu you can
|
|
change the password or completely remove encryption from your
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
There is no way to recover the configuration if you lose your password.
|
|
|
|
rclone uses [nacl secretbox](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox)
|
|
which in term uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and authenticate
|
|
your configuration with secret-key cryptography.
|
|
The password is SHA-256 hashed, which produces the key for secretbox.
|
|
The hashed password is not stored.
|
|
|
|
While this provides very good security, we do not recommend storing
|
|
your encrypted rclone configuration in public, if it contains sensitive
|
|
information, maybe except if you use a very strong password.
|
|
|
|
If it is safe in your environment, you can set the `RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS`
|
|
environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be
|
|
used for decrypting the configuration.
|
|
|
|
If you are running rclone inside a script, you might want to disable
|
|
password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter
|
|
`--ask-password=false` to rclone. This will make rclone fail instead
|
|
of asking for a password, if if `RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS` doesn't contain
|
|
a valid password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developer options
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
These options are useful when developing or debugging rclone. There
|
|
are also some more remote specific options which aren't documented
|
|
here which are used for testing. These start with remote name eg
|
|
`--drive-test-option` - see the docs for the remote in question.
|
|
|
|
### --cpuprofile=FILE ###
|
|
|
|
Write CPU profile to file. This can be analysed with `go tool pprof`.
|
|
|
|
### --dump-bodies ###
|
|
|
|
Dump HTTP headers and bodies - may contain sensitive info. Can be
|
|
very verbose. Useful for debugging only.
|
|
|
|
### --dump-filters ###
|
|
|
|
Dump the filters to the output. Useful to see exactly what include
|
|
and exclude options are filtering on.
|
|
|
|
### --dump-headers ###
|
|
|
|
Dump HTTP headers - may contain sensitive info. Can be very verbose.
|
|
Useful for debugging only.
|
|
|
|
### --memprofile=FILE ###
|
|
|
|
Write memory profile to file. This can be analysed with `go tool pprof`.
|
|
|
|
### --no-check-certificate=true/false ###
|
|
|
|
`--no-check-certificate` controls whether a client verifies the
|
|
server's certificate chain and host name.
|
|
If `--no-check-certificate` is true, TLS accepts any certificate
|
|
presented by the server and any host name in that certificate.
|
|
In this mode, TLS is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
|
|
|
|
This option defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
**This should be used only for testing.**

|
|
Exit Code
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
If any errors occurred during the command, rclone will set a non zero
|
|
exit code. This allows scripts to detect when rclone operations have
|
|
failed.
|
|
|
|
# Configuring rclone on a remote / headless machine #
|
|
|
|
Some of the configurations (those involving oauth2) require an
|
|
Internet connected web browser.
|
|
|
|
If you are trying to set rclone up on a remote or headless box with no
|
|
browser available on it (eg a NAS or a server in a datacenter) then
|
|
you will need to use an alternative means of configuration. There are
|
|
two ways of doing it, described below.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring using rclone authorize ##
|
|
|
|
On the headless box
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
Remote config
|
|
Use auto config?
|
|
* Say Y if not sure
|
|
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
|
|
y) Yes
|
|
n) No
|
|
y/n> n
|
|
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has a web browser available.
|
|
Execute the following on your machine:
|
|
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
|
|
Then paste the result below:
|
|
result>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then on your main desktop machine
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone authorize "amazon cloud drive"
|
|
If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
|
|
Log in and authorize rclone for access
|
|
Waiting for code...
|
|
Got code
|
|
Paste the following into your remote machine --->
|
|
SECRET_TOKEN
|
|
<---End paste
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then back to the headless box, paste in the code
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
result> SECRET_TOKEN
|
|
--------------------
|
|
[acd12]
|
|
client_id =
|
|
client_secret =
|
|
token = SECRET_TOKEN
|
|
--------------------
|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuring by copying the config file ##
|
|
|
|
Rclone stores all of its config in a single configuration file. This
|
|
can easily be copied to configure a remote rclone.
|
|
|
|
So first configure rclone on your desktop machine
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
to set up the config file.
|
|
|
|
Find the config file by running `rclone -h` and looking for the help for the `--config` option
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rclone -h
|
|
[snip]
|
|
--config="/home/user/.rclone.conf": Config file.
|
|
[snip]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now transfer it to the remote box (scp, cut paste, ftp, sftp etc) and
|
|
place it in the correct place (use `rclone -h` on the remote box to
|
|
find out where).
|
|
|
|
# Filtering, includes and excludes #
|
|
|
|
Rclone has a sophisticated set of include and exclude rules. Some of
|
|
these are based on patterns and some on other things like file size.
|
|
|
|
The filters are applied for the `copy`, `sync`, `move`, `ls`, `lsl`,
|
|
`md5sum`, `sha1sum`, `size`, `delete` and `check` operations.
|
|
Note that `purge` does not obey the filters.
|
|
|
|
Each path as it passes through rclone is matched against the include
|
|
and exclude rules like `--include`, `--exclude`, `--include-from`,
|
|
`--exclude-from`, `--filter`, or `--filter-from`. The simplest way to
|
|
try them out is using the `ls` command, or `--dry-run` together with
|
|
`-v`.
|
|
|
|
## Patterns ##
|
|
|
|
The patterns used to match files for inclusion or exclusion are based
|
|
on "file globs" as used by the unix shell.
|
|
|
|
If the pattern starts with a `/` then it only matches at the top level
|
|
of the directory tree, relative to the root of the remote.
|
|
If it doesn't start with `/` then it is matched starting at the
|
|
**end of the path**, but it will only match a complete path element:
|
|
|
|
file.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
|
|
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "directory/afile.jpg"
|
|
/file.jpg - matches "file.jpg" in the root directory of the remote
|
|
- doesn't match "afile.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
|
|
|
|
**Important** Note that you must use `/` in patterns and not `\` even
|
|
if running on Windows.
|
|
|
|
A `*` matches anything but not a `/`.
|
|
|
|
*.jpg - matches "file.jpg"
|
|
- matches "directory/file.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "file.jpg/something"
|
|
|
|
Use `**` to match anything, including slashes (`/`).
|
|
|
|
dir/** - matches "dir/file.jpg"
|
|
- matches "dir/dir1/dir2/file.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "directory/file.jpg"
|
|
- doesn't match "adir/file.jpg"
|
|
|
|
A `?` matches any character except a slash `/`.
|
|
|
|
l?ss - matches "less"
|
|
- matches "lass"
|
|
- doesn't match "floss"
|
|
|
|
A `[` and `]` together make a a character class, such as `[a-z]` or
|
|
`[aeiou]` or `[[:alpha:]]`. See the [go regexp
|
|
docs](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/syntax/) for more info on these.
|
|
|
|
h[ae]llo - matches "hello"
|
|
- matches "hallo"
|
|
- doesn't match "hullo"
|
|
|
|
A `{` and `}` define a choice between elements. It should contain a
|
|
comma seperated list of patterns, any of which might match. These
|
|
patterns can contain wildcards.
|
|
|
|
{one,two}_potato - matches "one_potato"
|
|
- matches "two_potato"
|
|
- doesn't match "three_potato"
|
|
- doesn't match "_potato"
|
|
|
|
Special characters can be escaped with a `\` before them.
|
|
|
|
\*.jpg - matches "*.jpg"
|
|
\\.jpg - matches "\.jpg"
|
|
\[one\].jpg - matches "[one].jpg"
|
|
|
|
### Differences between rsync and rclone patterns ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone implements bash style `{a,b,c}` glob matching which rsync doesn't.
|
|
|
|
Rclone ignores `/` at the end of a pattern.
|
|
|
|
Rclone always does a wildcard match so `\` must always escape a `\`.
|
|
|
|
## How the rules are used ##
|
|
|
|
Rclone maintains a list of include rules and exclude rules.
|
|
|
|
Each file is matched in order against the list until it finds a match.
|
|
The file is then included or excluded according to the rule type.
|
|
|
|
If the matcher falls off the bottom of the list then the path is
|
|
included.
|
|
|
|
For example given the following rules, `+` being include, `-` being
|
|
exclude,
|
|
|
|
- secret*.jpg
|
|
+ *.jpg
|
|
+ *.png
|
|
+ file2.avi
|
|
- *
|
|
|
|
This would include
|
|
|
|
* `file1.jpg`
|
|
* `file3.png`
|
|
* `file2.avi`
|
|
|
|
This would exclude
|
|
|
|
* `secret17.jpg`
|
|
* non `*.jpg` and `*.png`
|
|
|
|
## Adding filtering rules ##
|
|
|
|
Filtering rules are added with the following command line flags.
|
|
|
|
### `--exclude` - Exclude files matching pattern ###
|
|
|
|
Add a single exclude rule with `--exclude`.
|
|
|
|
Eg `--exclude *.bak` to exclude all bak files from the sync.
|
|
|
|
### `--exclude-from` - Read exclude patterns from file ###
|
|
|
|
Add exclude rules from a file.
|
|
|
|
Prepare a file like this `exclude-file.txt`
|
|
|
|
# a sample exclude rule file
|
|
*.bak
|
|
file2.jpg
|
|
|
|
Then use as `--exclude-from exclude-file.txt`. This will sync all
|
|
files except those ending in `bak` and `file2.jpg`.
|
|
|
|
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
|
|
|
|
### `--include` - Include files matching pattern ###
|
|
|
|
Add a single include rule with `--include`.
|
|
|
|
Eg `--include *.{png,jpg}` to include all `png` and `jpg` files in the
|
|
backup and no others.
|
|
|
|
This adds an implicit `--exclude *` at the very end of the filter
|
|
list. This means you can mix `--include` and `--include-from` with the
|
|
other filters (eg `--exclude`) but you must include all the files you
|
|
want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough
|
|
flexibility then you must use `--filter-from`.
|
|
|
|
### `--include-from` - Read include patterns from file ###
|
|
|
|
Add include rules from a file.
|
|
|
|
Prepare a file like this `include-file.txt`
|
|
|
|
# a sample include rule file
|
|
*.jpg
|
|
*.png
|
|
file2.avi
|
|
|
|
Then use as `--include-from include-file.txt`. This will sync all
|
|
`jpg`, `png` files and `file2.avi`.
|
|
|
|
This is useful if you have a lot of rules.
|
|
|
|
This adds an implicit `--exclude *` at the very end of the filter
|
|
list. This means you can mix `--include` and `--include-from` with the
|
|
other filters (eg `--exclude`) but you must include all the files you
|
|
want in the include statement. If this doesn't provide enough
|
|
flexibility then you must use `--filter-from`.
|
|
|
|
### `--filter` - Add a file-filtering rule ###
|
|
|
|
This can be used to add a single include or exclude rule. Include
|
|
rules start with `+ ` and exclude rules start with `- `. A special
|
|
rule called `!` can be used to clear the existing rules.
|
|
|
|
Eg `--filter "- *.bak"` to exclude all bak files from the sync.
|
|
|
|
### `--filter-from` - Read filtering patterns from a file ###
|
|
|
|
Add include/exclude rules from a file.
|
|
|
|
Prepare a file like this `filter-file.txt`
|
|
|
|
# a sample exclude rule file
|
|
- secret*.jpg
|
|
+ *.jpg
|
|
+ *.png
|
|
+ file2.avi
|
|
# exclude everything else
|
|
- *
|
|
|
|
Then use as `--filter-from filter-file.txt`. The rules are processed
|
|
in the order that they are defined.
|
|
|
|
This example will include all `jpg` and `png` files, exclude any files
|
|
matching `secret*.jpg` and include `file2.avi`. Everything else will
|
|
be excluded from the sync.
|
|
|
|
### `--files-from` - Read list of source-file names ###
|
|
|
|
This reads a list of file names from the file passed in and **only**
|
|
these files are transferred. The filtering rules are ignored
|
|
completely if you use this option.
|
|
|
|
Prepare a file like this `files-from.txt`
|

file2.jpg
|
|
|
|
Then use as `--files-from files-from.txt`. This will only transfer
|
|
`file1.jpg` and `file2.jpg` providing they exist.
|
|
|
|
### `--min-size` - Don't transfer any file smaller than this ###
|
|
|
|
This option controls the minimum size file which will be transferred.
|
|
This defaults to `kBytes` but a suffix of `k`, `M`, or `G` can be
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
For example `--min-size 50k` means no files smaller than 50kByte will be
|
|
transferred.
|
|
|
|
### `--max-size` - Don't transfer any file larger than this ###
|
|
|
|
This option controls the maximum size file which will be transferred.
|
|
This defaults to `kBytes` but a suffix of `k`, `M`, or `G` can be
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
For example `--max-size 1G` means no files larger than 1GByte will be
|
|
transferred.
|
|
|
|
### `--max-age` - Don't transfer any file older than this ###
|
|
|
|
This option controls the maximum age of files to transfer. Give in
|
|
seconds or with a suffix of:
|
|
|
|
* `ms` - Milliseconds
|
|
* `s` - Seconds
|
|
* `m` - Minutes
|
|
* `h` - Hours
|
|
* `d` - Days
|
|
* `w` - Weeks
|
|
* `M` - Months
|
|
* `y` - Years
|
|
|
|
For example `--max-age 2d` means no files older than 2 days will be
|
|
transferred.
|
|
|
|
### `--min-age` - Don't transfer any file younger than this ###
|
|
|
|
This option controls the minimum age of files to transfer. Give in
|
|
seconds or with a suffix (see `--max-age` for list of suffixes)
|
|
|
|
For example `--min-age 2d` means no files younger than 2 days will be
|
|
transferred.
|
|
|
|
### `--delete-excluded` - Delete files on dest excluded from sync ###
|
|
|
|
**Important** this flag is dangerous - use with `--dry-run` and `-v` first.
|
|
|
|
When doing `rclone sync` this will delete any files which are excluded
|
|
from the sync on the destination.
|
|
|
|
If for example you did a sync from `A` to `B` without the `--min-size 50k` flag
|
|
|
|
rclone sync A: B:
|
|
|
|
Then you repeated it like this with the `--delete-excluded`
|
|
|
|
rclone --min-size 50k --delete-excluded sync A: B:
|
|
|
|
This would delete all files on `B` which are less than 50 kBytes as
|
|
these are now excluded from the sync.
|
|
|
|
Always test first with `--dry-run` and `-v` before using this flag.
|
|
|
|
### `--dump-filters` - dump the filters to the output ###
|
|
|
|
This dumps the defined filters to the output as regular expressions.
|
|
|
|
Useful for debugging.
|
|
|
|
## Quoting shell metacharacters ##
|
|
|
|
The examples above may not work verbatim in your shell as they have
|
|
shell metacharacters in them (eg `*`), and may require quoting.
|
|
|
|
Eg linux, OSX
|
|
|
|
* `--include \*.jpg`
|
|
* `--include '*.jpg'`
|
|
* `--include='*.jpg'`
|
|
|
|
In Windows the expansion is done by the command not the shell so this
|
|
should work fine
|
|
|
|
* `--include *.jpg`

# Overview of cloud storage systems #
|
|
|
|
Each cloud storage system is slighly different. Rclone attempts to
|
|
provide a unified interface to them, but some underlying differences
|
|
show through.
|
|
|
|
## Features ##
|
|
|
|
Here is an overview of the major features of each cloud storage system.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Hash | ModTime | Case Insensitive | Duplicate Files |
|
|
| ---------------------- |:-------:|:-------:|:----------------:|:---------------:|
|
|
| Google Drive | MD5 | Yes | No | Yes |
|
|
| Amazon S3 | MD5 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| Openstack Swift | MD5 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| Dropbox | - | No | Yes | No |
|
|
| Google Cloud Storage | MD5 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| Amazon Cloud Drive | MD5 | No | Yes | No |
|
|
| Microsoft One Drive | SHA1 | Yes | Yes | No |
|
|
| Hubic | MD5 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| Backblaze B2 | SHA1 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| Yandex Disk | MD5 | Yes | No | No |
|
|
| The local filesystem | All | Yes | Depends | No |
|
|
|
|
### Hash ###
|
|
|
|
The cloud storage system supports various hash types of the objects.
|
|
The hashes are used when transferring data as an integrity check and
|
|
can be specifically used with the `--checksum` flag in syncs and in
|
|
the `check` command.
|
|
|
|
To use the checksum checks between filesystems they must support a
|
|
common hash type.
|
|
|
|
### ModTime ###
|
|
|
|
The cloud storage system supports setting modification times on
|
|
objects. If it does then this enables a using the modification times
|
|
as part of the sync. If not then only the size will be checked by
|
|
default, though the MD5SUM can be checked with the `--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
All cloud storage systems support some kind of date on the object and
|
|
these will be set when transferring from the cloud storage system.
|
|
|
|
### Case Insensitive ###
|
|
|
|
If a cloud storage systems is case sensitive then it is possible to
|
|
have two files which differ only in case, eg `file.txt` and
|
|
`FILE.txt`. If a cloud storage system is case insensitive then that
|
|
isn't possible.
|
|
|
|
This can cause problems when syncing between a case insensitive
|
|
system and a case sensitive system. The symptom of this is that no
|
|
matter how many times you run the sync it never completes fully.
|
|
|
|
The local filesystem may or may not be case sensitive depending on OS.
|
|
|
|
* Windows - usually case insensitive, though case is preserved
|
|
* OSX - usually case insensitive, though it is possible to format case sensitive
|
|
* Linux - usually case sensitive, but there are case insensitive file systems (eg FAT formatted USB keys)
|
|
|
|
Most of the time this doesn't cause any problems as people tend to
|
|
avoid files whose name differs only by case even on case sensitive
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
### Duplicate files ###
|
|
|
|
If a cloud storage system allows duplicate files then it can have two
|
|
objects with the same name.
|
|
|
|
This confuses rclone greatly when syncing - use the `rclone dedupe`
|
|
command to rename or remove duplicates.
|
|
|
|
Google Drive
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `drive:path`
|
|
|
|
Drive paths may be as deep as required, eg `drive:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for drive involves getting a token from Google drive
|
|
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
|
|
through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
d) Delete remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
e/n/d/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|

|
|
Use auto config?
|
|
* Say Y if not sure
|
|
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine or Y didn't work
|
|
y) Yes
|
|
n) No
|
|
y/n> y
|
|
If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth
|
|
Log in and authorize rclone for access
|
|
Waiting for code...
|
|

|
|
--------------------
|
|
[remote]
|
|
client_id =
|
|
client_secret =
|
|
token = {"AccessToken":"xxxx.x.xxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","RefreshToken":"1/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","Expiry":"2014-03-16T13:57:58.955387075Z","Extra":null}
|
|
--------------------
|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
|
|
token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only
|
|
runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back
|
|
the verification code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this
|
|
it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host
|
|
firewall, or use manual mode.
|
|
|
|
You can then use it like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your drive
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your drive
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to a drive directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
Google drive stores modification times accurate to 1 ms.
|
|
|
|
### Revisions ###
|
|
|
|
Google drive stores revisions of files. When you upload a change to
|
|
an existing file to google drive using rclone it will create a new
|
|
revision of that file.
|
|
|
|
Revisions follow the standard google policy which at time of writing
|
|
was
|
|
|
|
* They are deleted after 30 days or 100 revisions (whatever comes first).
|
|
* They do not count towards a user storage quota.
|
|
|
|
### Deleting files ###
|
|
|
|
By default rclone will delete files permanently when requested. If
|
|
sending them to the trash is required instead then use the
|
|
`--drive-use-trash` flag.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Upload chunk size. Must a power of 2 >= 256k. Default value is 8 MB.
|
|
|
|
Making this larger will improve performance, but note that each chunk
|
|
is buffered in memory one per transfer.
|
|
|
|
Reducing this will reduce memory usage but decrease performance.
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-full-list ####
|
|
|
|
No longer does anything - kept for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-upload-cutoff=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
File size cutoff for switching to chunked upload. Default is 8 MB.
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-use-trash ####
|
|
|
|
Send files to the trash instead of deleting permanently. Defaults to
|
|
off, namely deleting files permanently.
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-auth-owner-only ####
|
|
|
|
Only consider files owned by the authenticated user. Requires
|
|
that --drive-full-list=true (default).
|
|
|
|
#### --drive-formats ####
|
|
|
|
Google documents can only be exported from Google drive. When rclone
|
|
downloads a Google doc it chooses a format to download depending upon
|
|
this setting.
|
|
|
|
By default the formats are `docx,xlsx,pptx,svg` which are a sensible
|
|
default for an editable document.
|
|
|
|
When choosing a format, rclone runs down the list provided in order
|
|
and chooses the first file format the doc can be exported as from the
|
|
list. If the file can't be exported to a format on the formats list,
|
|
then rclone will choose a format from the default list.
|
|
|
|
If you prefer an archive copy then you might use `--drive-formats
|
|
pdf`, or if you prefer openoffice/libreoffice formats you might use
|
|
`--drive-formats ods,odt`.
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone adds the extension to the google doc, so if it is
|
|
calles `My Spreadsheet` on google docs, it will be exported as `My
|
|
Spreadsheet.xlsx` or `My Spreadsheet.pdf` etc.
|
|
|
|
Here are the possible extensions with their corresponding mime types.
|
|
|
|
| Extension | Mime Type | Description |
|
|
| --------- |-----------| ------------|
|
|
| csv | text/csv | Standard CSV format for Spreadsheets |
|
|
| doc | application/msword | Micosoft Office Document |
|
|
| docx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document | Microsoft Office Document |
|
|
| html | text/html | An HTML Document |
|
|
| jpg | image/jpeg | A JPEG Image File |
|
|
| ods | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
|
|
| ods | application/x-vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet | Openoffice Spreadsheet |
|
|
| odt | application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text | Openoffice Document |
|
|
| pdf | application/pdf | Adobe PDF Format |
|
|
| png | image/png | PNG Image Format|
|
|
| pptx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation | Microsoft Office Powerpoint |
|
|
| rtf | application/rtf | Rich Text Format |
|
|
| svg | image/svg+xml | Scalable Vector Graphics Format |
|
|
| txt | text/plain | Plain Text |
|
|
| xls | application/vnd.ms-excel | Microsoft Office Spreadsheet |
|
|
| xlsx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | Microsoft Office Spreadsheet |
|
|
| zip | application/zip | A ZIP file of HTML, Images CSS |
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Drive has quite a lot of rate limiting. This causes rclone to be
|
|
limited to transferring about 2 files per second only. Individual
|
|
files may be transferred much faster at 100s of MBytes/s but lots of
|
|
small files can take a long time.
|
|
|
|
Amazon S3
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making an s3 configuration. First run
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process.
|
|
|
|

|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
See all buckets
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any excess
|
|
files in the bucket.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
|
`X-Amz-Meta-Mtime` as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.
|
|
|
|
### Multipart uploads ###
|
|
|
|
rclone supports multipart uploads with S3 which means that it can
|
|
upload files bigger than 5GB. Note that files uploaded with multipart
|
|
upload don't have an MD5SUM.
|
|
|
|
### Buckets and Regions ###
|
|
|
|
With Amazon S3 you can list buckets (`rclone lsd`) using any region,
|
|
but you can only access the content of a bucket from the region it was
|
|
created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong region,
|
|
you will get an error, `incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'XXX'
|
|
region`.
|
|
|
|
### Authentication ###
|
|
There are two ways to supply `rclone` with a set of AWS
|
|
credentials. In order of precedence:
|
|
|
|
- Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by `rclone config`)
|
|
- set `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key`
|
|
- Runtime configuration:
|
|
- set `env_auth` to `true` in the config file
|
|
- Exporting the following environment variables before running `rclone`
|
|
- Access Key ID: `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY`
|
|
- Secret Access Key: `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY`
|
|
- Running `rclone` on an EC2 instance with an IAM role
|
|
|
|
If none of these option actually end up providing `rclone` with AWS
|
|
credentials then S3 interaction will be non-authenticated (see below).
|
|
|
|
### Anonymous access to public buckets ###
|
|
|
|
If you want to use rclone to access a public bucket, configure with a
|
|
blank `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key`. Eg
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
No remotes found - make a new one
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
n/q> n
|
|
name> anons3
|
|
What type of source is it?
|
|
Choose a number from below
|
|
1) amazon cloud drive
|
|
2) b2
|
|
3) drive
|
|
4) dropbox
|
|
5) google cloud storage
|
|
6) swift
|
|
7) hubic
|
|
8) local
|
|
9) onedrive
|
|
10) s3
|
|
11) yandex
|
|
type> 10
|
|
Get AWS credentials from runtime (environment variables or EC2 meta data if no env vars). Only applies if access_key_id and secret_access_key is blank.
|
|
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
|
|
* Enter AWS credentials in the next step
|
|
1) false
|
|
* Get AWS credentials from the environment (env vars or IAM)
|
|
2) true
|
|
env_auth> 1
|
|
AWS Access Key ID - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials.
|
|
access_key_id>
|
|
AWS Secret Access Key (password) - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials.
|
|
secret_access_key>
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use it as normal with the name of the public bucket, eg
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd anons3:1000genomes
|
|
|
|
You will be able to list and copy data but not upload it.
|
|
|
|
### Ceph ###
|
|
|
|
Ceph is an object storage system which presents an Amazon S3 interface.
|
|
|
|
To use rclone with ceph, you need to set the following parameters in
|
|
the config.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
access_key_id = Whatever
|
|
secret_access_key = Whatever
|
|
endpoint = https://ceph.endpoint.goes.here/
|
|
region = other-v2-signature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note also that Ceph sometimes puts `/` in the passwords it gives
|
|
users. If you read the secret access key using the command line tools
|
|
you will get a JSON blob with the `/` escaped as `\/`. Make sure you
|
|
only write `/` in the secret access key.
|
|
|
|
Eg the dump from Ceph looks something like this (irrelevant keys
|
|
removed).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"user_id": "xxx",
|
|
"display_name": "xxxx",
|
|
"keys": [
|
|
{
|
|
"user": "xxx",
|
|
"access_key": "xxxxxx",
|
|
"secret_key": "xxxxxx\/xxxx"
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Because this is a json dump, it is encoding the `/` as `\/`, so if you
|
|
use the secret key as `xxxxxx/xxxx` it will work fine.
|
|
|
|
Swift
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Swift refers to [Openstack Object Storage](http://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-storage/).
|
|
Commercial implementations of that being:
|
|
|
|
* [Rackspace Cloud Files](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/)
|
|
* [Memset Memstore](http://www.memset.com/cloud/storage/)
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:container` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:container/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a swift configuration. First run
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
See all containers
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new container
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:container
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a container
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:container
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote container, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the container.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:container
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --swift-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The
|
|
default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
|
`X-Object-Meta-Mtime` as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1
|
|
ns.
|
|
|
|
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
|
|
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
|
|
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
|
|
MD5SUM for these.
|
|
|
|
Dropbox
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg
|
|
`remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox
|
|
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
|
|
through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|

|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use it like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to a dropbox directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and MD5SUMs ###
|
|
|
|
Dropbox doesn't provide the ability to set modification times in the
|
|
V1 public API, so rclone can't support modified time with Dropbox.
|
|
|
|
This may change in the future - see these issues for details:
|
|
|
|
* [Dropbox V2 API](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/349)
|
|
* [Allow syncs for remotes that can't set modtime on existing objects](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/348)
|
|
|
|
Dropbox doesn't return any sort of checksum (MD5 or SHA1).
|
|
|
|
Together that means that syncs to dropbox will effectively have the
|
|
`--size-only` flag set.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --dropbox-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Upload chunk size. Max 150M. The default is 128MB. Note that this
|
|
isn't buffered into memory.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
|
|
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
|
|
|
|
There are some file names such as `thumbs.db` which Dropbox can't
|
|
store. There is a full list of them in the ["Ignored Files" section
|
|
of this document](https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145). Rclone will
|
|
issue an error message `File name disallowed - not uploading` if it
|
|
attempt to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.
|
|
|
|
If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then `rclone purge
|
|
dropbox:dir` will return the error `Failed to purge: There are too
|
|
many files involved in this operation`. As a work-around do an
|
|
`rclone delete dropbix:dir` followed by an `rclone rmdir dropbox:dir`.
|
|
|
|
Google Cloud Storage
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for google cloud storage involves getting a token from Google Cloud Storage
|
|
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you

Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
|
|
token as returned from Google if you use auto config mode. This only
|
|
runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back
|
|
the verification code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this
|
|
it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host
|
|
firewall, or use manual mode.

### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
Google google cloud storage stores md5sums natively and rclone stores
|
|
modification times as metadata on the object, under the "mtime" key in
|
|
RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns.
|
|

|
|
See the [remote setup docs](http://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a
|
|
machine with no Internet browser available.
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the
|
|
token as returned from Amazon. This only runs from the moment it
|
|
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification
|
|
code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require
|
|
you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
|
|
|
|
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your Amazon cloud drive
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your Amazon cloud drive
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to an Amazon cloud drive directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and MD5SUMs ###
|
|
|
|
Amazon cloud drive doesn't allow modification times to be changed via
|
|
the API so these won't be accurate or used for syncing.
|
|
|
|
It does store MD5SUMs so for a more accurate sync, you can use the
|
|
`--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
### Deleting files ###
|
|
|
|
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Amazon
|
|
don't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
|
|
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Amazon's apps or via
|
|
the Amazon cloud drive website.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --acd-templink-threshold=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Files this size or more will be downloaded via their `tempLink`. This
|
|
is to work around a problem with Amazon Cloud Drive which blocks
|
|
downloads of files bigger than about 10GB. The default for this is
|
|
9GB which shouldn't need to be changed.
|
|
|
|
To download files above this threshold, rclone requests a `tempLink`
|
|
which downloads the file through a temporary URL directly from the
|
|
underlying S3 storage.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Note that Amazon cloud drive is case insensitive so you can't have a
|
|
file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
|
|
|
|
Amazon cloud drive has rate limiting so you may notice errors in the
|
|
sync (429 errors). rclone will automatically retry the sync up to 3
|
|
times by default (see `--retries` flag) which should hopefully work
|
|
around this problem.
|
|
|
|
Amazon cloud drive has an internal limit of file sizes that can be
|
|
uploaded to the service. This limit is not officially published,
|
|
but all files larger than this will fail.
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing (Jan 2016) is in the area of 50GB per file.
|
|
This means that larger files are likely to fail.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatly there is no way for rclone to see that this failure is
|
|
because of file size, so it will retry the operation, as any other
|
|
failure. To avoid this problem, use `--max-size=50GB` option to limit
|
|
the maximum size of uploaded files.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft One Drive
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Paths may be as deep as required, eg `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for One Drive involves getting a token from
|
|
Microsoft which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks
|
|
you through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```

See the [remote setup docs](http://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a
|
|
machine with no Internet browser available.
|
|
|
|
Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the

you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
|
|
|
|
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your One Drive
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to an One Drive directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and hashes ###
|
|
|
|
One Drive allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1
|
|
second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or
|
|
not.
|
|
|
|
One drive supports SHA1 type hashes, so you can use `--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Deleting files ###
|
|
|
|
Any files you delete with rclone will end up in the trash. Microsoft
|
|
doesn't provide an API to permanently delete files, nor to empty the
|
|
trash, so you will have to do that with one of Microsoft's apps or via
|
|
the One Drive website.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --onedrive-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Above this size files will be chunked - must be multiple of 320k. The
|
|
default is 10MB. Note that the chunks will be buffered into memory.
|
|
|
|
#### --onedrive-upload-cutoff=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload - must be <= 100MB. The default
|
|
is 10MB.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Note that One Drive is case insensitive so you can't have a
|
|
file called "Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
|
|
|
|
Rclone only supports your default One Drive, and doesn't work with One
|
|
Drive for business. Both these issues may be fixed at some point
|
|
depending on user demand!
|
|
|
|
There are quite a few characters that can't be in One Drive file
|
|
names. These can't occur on Windows platforms, but on non-Windows
|
|
platforms they are common. Rclone will map these names to and from an
|
|
identical looking unicode equivalent. For example if a file has a `?`
|
|
in it will be mapped to `?` instead.
|
|
|
|
Hubic
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:container` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:container/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for Hubic involves getting a token from Hubic which
|
|
you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you through it.
|

|
To copy a local directory to an Hubic directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
|
`X-Object-Meta-Mtime` as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1
|
|
ns.
|
|
|
|
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
|
|
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
|
|
|
|
Note that Hubic wraps the Swift backend, so most of the properties of
|
|
are the same.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
This uses the normal OpenStack Swift mechanism to refresh the Swift
|
|
API credentials and ignores the expires field returned by the Hubic
|
|
API.
|
|
|
|
The Swift API doesn't return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files
|
|
(Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won't check or use the
|
|
MD5SUM for these.
|

|
Backblaze B2
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
B2 is [Backblaze's cloud storage system](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/).
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd`
|
|
command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a b2 configuration. First run
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. You will
|
|
need your account number (a short hex number) and key (a long hex
|
|
number) which you can get from the b2 control panel.

|
|
See all buckets
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a bucket
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the bucket.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
|
|
`X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis` as milliseconds since 1970-01-01
|
|
in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as
|
|
a modified time.
|
|
|
|
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in
|
|
the case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In
|
|
this case the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn't have an API
|
|
method to set the modification time independent of doing an upload.
|
|
|
|
### SHA1 checksums ###
|
|
|
|
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and
|
|
will be used in the syncing process. You can use the `--checksum` flag.
|
|
|
|
### Versions ###
|
|
|
|
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a [new version
|
|
of it](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/file_versions.html).
|
|
Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will still be
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
The old versions of files are visible in the B2 web interface, but not
|
|
via rclone yet.
|
|
|
|
Rclone doesn't provide any way of managing old versions (downloading
|
|
them or deleting them) at the moment. When you `purge` a bucket, all
|
|
the old versions will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
### Transfers ###
|
|
|
|
Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
|
|
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equiped laptop the optimum
|
|
setting is about `--transfers 32` though higher numbers may be used
|
|
for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary
|
|
depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want
|
|
to load your computer, etc. The default of `--transfers 4` is
|
|
definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.
|
|
|
|
### API ###
|
|
|
|
Here are [some notes I made on the backblaze
|
|
API](https://gist.github.com/ncw/166dabf352b399f1cc1c) while
|
|
integrating it with rclone which detail the changes I'd like to see.

token as returned from Yandex Disk. This only runs from the moment it
|
|
opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code.
|
|
This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require you to
|
|
unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.
|
|
|
|
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
|
|
|
|
See top level directories
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new directory
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:directory
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a directory
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:directory
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote path, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the path.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:directory
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
Modified times are supported and are stored accurate to 1 ns in custom
|
|
metadata called `rclone_modified` in RFC3339 with nanoseconds format.
|
|
|
|
### MD5 checksums ###
|
|
|
|
MD5 checksums are natively supported by Yandex Disk.
|
|
|
|
Local Filesystem
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 you are using an
|
|
old Linux filesystem with non UTF-8 file names (eg latin1) then you
|
|
can use the `convmv` tool to convert the filesystem to UTF-8. This
|
|
tool is available in most distributions' package managers.
|
|
|
|
If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will
|
|
be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '�'. `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"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Long paths on Windows ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone handles long paths automatically, by converting all paths to long
|
|
[UNC paths](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath)
|
|
which allows paths up to 32,767 characters.
|
|
|
|
This is why you will see that your paths, for instance `c:\files` is
|
|
converted to the UNC path `\\?\c:\files` in the output,
|
|
and `\\server\share` is converted to `\\?\UNC\server\share`.
|
|
|
|
However, in rare cases this may cause problems with buggy file
|
|
system drivers like [EncFS](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/261).
|
|
To disable UNC conversion globally, add this to your `.rclone.conf` file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[local]
|
|
nounc = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to selectively disable UNC, you can add it to a separate entry like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[nounc]
|
|
type = local
|
|
nounc = true
|
|
```
|
|
And use rclone like this:
|
|
|
|
`rclone copy c:\src nounc:z:\dst`
|
|
|
|
This will use UNC paths on `c:\src` but not on `z:\dst`.
|
|
Of course this will cause problems if the absolute path length of a
|
|
file exceeds 258 characters on z, so only use this option if you have to.

Bugs and Limitations
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
### Empty directories are left behind / not created ##
|
|
|
|
With remotes that have a concept of directory, eg Local and Drive,
|
|
empty directories may be left behind, or not created when one was
|
|
expected.
|
|
|
|
This is because rclone doesn't have a concept of a directory - it only
|
|
works on objects. Most of the object storage systems can't actually
|
|
store a directory so there is nowhere for rclone to store anything
|
|
about directories.
|
|
|
|
You can work round this to some extent with the`purge` command which
|
|
will delete everything under the path, **inluding** empty directories.
|
|
|
|
This may be fixed at some point in
|
|
[Issue #100](https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/100)
|
|
|
|
### Directory timestamps aren't preserved ##
|
|
|
|
For the same reason as the above, rclone doesn't have a concept of a
|
|
directory - it only works on objects, therefore it can't preserve the
|
|
timestamps of directories.
|
|
|
|
Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
### Do all cloud storage systems support all rclone commands ###
|
|
|
|
Yes they do. All the rclone commands (eg `sync`, `copy` etc) will
|
|
work on all the remote storage systems.
|
|
|
|
### Can I copy the config from one machine to another ###

Sure! Rclone stores all of its config in a single file. If you want
|
|
to find this file, the simplest way is to run `rclone -h` and look at
|
|
the help for the `--config` flag which will tell you where it is.
|
|
|
|
See the [remote setup docs](http://rclone.org/remote_setup/) for more info.
|
|
|
|
### How do I configure rclone on a remote / headless box with no browser? ###
|
|
|
|
This has now been documented in its own [remote setup page](http://rclone.org/remote_setup/).
|
|
|
|
### Can rclone sync directly from drive to s3 ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone can sync between two remote cloud storage systems just fine.
|
|
|
|
Note that it effectively downloads the file and uploads it again, so
|
|
the node running rclone would need to have lots of bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
The syncs would be incremental (on a file by file basis).
|
|
|
|
Eg
|
|
|
|
rclone sync drive:Folder s3:bucket
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using rclone from multiple locations at the same time ###
|
|
|
|
You can use rclone from multiple places at the same time if you choose
|
|
different subdirectory for the output, eg
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Server A> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerA
|
|
Server B> rclone sync /tmp/whatever remote:ServerB
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you sync to the same directory then you should use rclone copy
|
|
otherwise the two rclones may delete each others files, eg
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Server A> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
|
|
Server B> rclone copy /tmp/whatever remote:Backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The file names you upload from Server A and Server B should be
|
|
different in this case, otherwise some file systems (eg Drive) may
|
|
make duplicates.
|
|
|
|
### Why doesn't rclone support partial transfers / binary diffs like rsync? ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone stores each file you transfer as a native object on the remote
|
|
cloud storage system. This means that you can see the files you
|
|
upload as expected using alternative access methods (eg using the
|
|
Google Drive web interface). There is a 1:1 mapping between files on
|
|
your hard disk and objects created in the cloud storage system.
|
|
|
|
Cloud storage systems (at least none I've come across yet) don't
|
|
support partially uploading an object. You can't take an existing
|
|
object, and change some bytes in the middle of it.
|
|
|
|
It would be possible to make a sync system which stored binary diffs
|
|
instead of whole objects like rclone does, but that would break the
|
|
1:1 mapping of files on your hard disk to objects in the remote cloud
|
|
storage system.
|
|
|
|
All the cloud storage systems support partial downloads of content, so
|
|
it would be possible to make partial downloads work. However to make
|
|
this work efficiently this would require storing a significant amount
|
|
of metadata, which breaks the desired 1:1 mapping of files to objects.
|
|
|
|
### Can rclone do bi-directional sync? ###
|
|
|
|
No, not at present. rclone only does uni-directional sync from A ->
|
|
B. It may do in the future though since it has all the primitives - it
|
|
just requires writing the algorithm to do it.
|
|
|
|
### Can I use rclone with an HTTP proxy? ###
|
|
|
|
Yes. rclone will use the environment variables `HTTP_PROXY`,
|
|
`HTTPS_PROXY` and `NO_PROXY`, similar to cURL and other programs.
|
|
|
|
`HTTPS_PROXY` takes precedence over `HTTP_PROXY` for https requests.
|
|
|
|
The environment values may be either a complete URL or a "host[:port]",
|
|
in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.
|
|
|
|
The `NO_PROXY` allows you to disable the proxy for specific hosts.
|
|
Hosts must be comma separated, and can contain domains or parts.
|
|
For instance "foo.com" also matches "bar.foo.com".
|
|
|
|
### Rclone gives x509: failed to load system roots and no roots provided error ###
|
|
|
|
This means that `rclone` can't file the SSL root certificates. Likely
|
|
you are running `rclone` on a NAS with a cut-down Linux OS.
|
|
|
|
Rclone (via the Go runtime) tries to load the root certificates from
|
|
these places on Linux.
|
|
|
|
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt", // Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo etc.
|
|
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", // Fedora/RHEL
|
|
"/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem", // OpenSUSE
|
|
"/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem", // OpenELEC
|
|
|
|
So doing something like this should fix the problem. It also sets the
|
|
time which is important for SSL to work properly.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs/
|
|
curl -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
|
|
ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you may need to add the `--insecure` option to the `curl` command line if it doesn't work without.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl --insecure -o /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-bundle/master/ca-bundle.crt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Rclone gives Failed to load config file: function not implemented error ###
|
|
|
|
Likely this means that you are running rclone on Linux version not
|
|
supported by the go runtime, ie earlier than version 2.6.23.
|
|
|
|
See the [system requirements section in the go install
|
|
docs](https://golang.org/doc/install) for full details.
|
|
|
|
### All my uploaded docx/xlsx/pptx files appear as archive/zip ###
|
|
|
|
This is caused by uploading these files from a Windows computer which
|
|
hasn't got the Microsoft Office suite installed. The easiest way to
|
|
fix is to install the Word viewer and the Microsoft Office
|
|
Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 and later
|
|
versions' file formats
