C# code for rclone copy

[Ole (Ole Frost)]

Hello Akhil,

Great, sounds like you are using the core/command example I gave you first, where you get the output (stream) in the response.

I may have confused you by changing from the simple core/command request used in the first example to the more advanced sync/copy request.

I changed because you need to use the sync/copy command to be able to get the copy progress. It will return immediately with an OK (job started) and then you can use repeated core/stats requests to monitor the progress.

Here is a step by step guide to use sync/copy and then monitor status:

First start "rclone rcd --rc-no-auth", then initiate the copy something like this (note the URL):

@Ole

POST http://localhost:5572/sync/copy HTTP/1.1
content-type: application/json

{
    "srcFs": "myRemote:mybucket",
    "dstFs": "./testfolder5",
    "_config": { "DryRun": false, "IgnoreTimes": true },
    "_async": true,
    "_group": "myCopy/1"
}

it will return almost immediately and then you can monitor status with repeated calls something like this:

@Ole

POST http://localhost:5572/core/stats HTTP/1.1
content-type: application/json

{
    "group": "myCopy/1"
}

you can see the returned status in the middle of my above screenshot.

I think you can easily translate the above REST requests into C# by editing the example I gave for the core/command request.
