<i class="fa fa-server"></i> SFTP
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
SFTP is the [Secure (or SSH) File Transfer
|
|
Protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol).
|
|
|
|
It runs over SSH v2 and is standard with most modern SSH
|
|
installations.
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`. If the path does not begin with
|
|
a `/` it is relative to the home directory of the user. An empty path
|
|
`remote:` refers to the users home directory.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a SFTP 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 SFTP control panel.
|
|
```

|
|

|
|
host = example.com

|
|
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
See all directories in the home directory
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
Make a new directory
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir remote:path/to/directory
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a directory
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:path/to/directory
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote directory, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the directory.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:directory
|
|
|
|
### Modified time ###
|
|
|
|
Modified times are stored on the server to 1 second precision.
|
|
|
|
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
SFTP does not support any checksums.
|
|
|
|
SFTP isn't supported under plan9 until [this
|
|
issue](https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/156) is fixed.
|
|
|
|
Note that since SFTP isn't HTTP based the following flags don't work
|
|
with it: `--dump-headers`, `--dump-bodies`, `--dump-auth`
|
|
|
|
Note that `--timeout` isn't supported (but `--contimeout` is).
