# rclone rc
|
|
|
|
Run a command against a running rclone.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This runs a command against a running rclone. Use the `--url` flag to
|
|
specify an non default URL to connect on. This can be either a
|
|
":port" which is taken to mean "http://localhost:port" or a
|
|
"host:port" which is taken to mean "http://host:port"
|
|
|
|
A username and password can be passed in with `--user` and `--pass`.
|
|
|
|
Note that `--rc-addr`, `--rc-user`, `--rc-pass` will be read also for
|
|
`--url`, `--user`, `--pass`.
|
|
|
|
Arguments should be passed in as parameter=value.
|
|
|
|
The result will be returned as a JSON object by default.
|
|
|
|
The `--json` parameter can be used to pass in a JSON blob as an input
|
|
instead of key=value arguments. This is the only way of passing in
|
|
more complicated values.
|
|
|
|
The `-o`/`--opt` option can be used to set a key "opt" with key, value
|
|
options in the form `-o key=value` or `-o key`. It can be repeated as
|
|
many times as required. This is useful for rc commands which take the
|
|
"opt" parameter which by convention is a dictionary of strings.
|
|
|
|
-o key=value -o key2
|
|
|
|
Will place this in the "opt" value
|
|
|
|
{"key":"value", "key2","")
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `-a`/`--arg` option can be used to set strings in the "arg" value. It
|
|
can be repeated as many times as required. This is useful for rc
|
|
commands which take the "arg" parameter which by convention is a list
|
|
of strings.
|
|
|
|
-a value -a value2
|
|
|
|
Will place this in the "arg" value
|
|
|
|
["value", "value2"]
|
|
|
|
Use `--loopback` to connect to the rclone instance running `rclone rc`.
|
|
This is very useful for testing commands without having to run an
|
|
rclone rc server, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
rclone rc --loopback operations/about fs=/
|
|
|
|
Use `rclone rc` to see a list of all possible commands.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone rc commands parameter [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
