Help and Support

I am attempting a simple copy from my local linux file system to my R2 bucket. The file I am sending is:
/home/raf/test0.txt. The bucket is called cross.

Here is my rclone install:

Any help would be appreciated!

welcome to the forum,

need to check your system.

3

Can you run rclone lsf R2:cross to list the top contents of the bucket?

If not check your credentials are correct.

I don't think the clock being set wrong will cause a problem here (but it certainly does with oauth based backends). It might do though!

still getting the same:

in the interactive config I set both times London

6

rclone doesn't care what region the time is, only that it is correct for that region.

So you need to set the time correct for your computer.

7

should i set the time with?
sudo hwclock -s
or
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org?

8

i can see the following:
timedatectl status
Local time: Wed 2023-09-20 03:38:29 BST
Universal time: Wed 2023-09-20 02:38:29 UTC
RTC time: Thu 2023-09-21 14:52:38
Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)
System clock synchronized: no

Right now in London it is 3:57pm, so the linux system on my machine seems off

9

I think sudo hwclock -s is the correct thing.

its working!
thanks!
