## Specifying the remote ##
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In normal use, make sure the remote has a `:` in. If you specify the
|
||||||
|
remote without a `:` then rclone will use a local directory of that
|
||||||
|
name. So if you use a remote of `/path/to/secret/files` then rclone
|
||||||
|
will encrypt stuff to that directory. If you use a remote of `name`
|
||||||
|
then rclone will put files in a directory called `name` in the current
|
||||||
|
directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you specify the remote as `remote:path/to/dir` then rclone will
|
||||||
|
store encrypted files in `path/to/dir` on the remote. If you are using
|
||||||
|
file name encryption, then when you save files to
|
||||||
|
`secret:subdir/subfile` this will store them in the unencrypted path
|
||||||
|
`path/to/dir` but the `subdir/subpath` bit will be encrypted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that unless you want encrypted bucket names (which are difficult
|
||||||
|
to manage because you won't know what directory they represent in web
|
||||||
|
interfaces etc), you should probably specify a bucket, eg
|
||||||
|
`remote:secretbucket` when using bucket based remotes such as S3,
|
||||||
|
Swift, Hubic, B2, GCS.
