Cannot create alias remote with space in path

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Can't create a usable alias remote to a folder with a space in it

Get error:-

2020/09/11 11:51:22 Failed to ncdu with 2 errors: last error was: ncdu directory listing: ncdu listing failed: directory not found

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.53.0

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Ubuntu LTS ARM64 and CentOS 8 AMD64

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

sftp or Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone ncdu examplgd:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Tried to use combinations of double quotes to no benefit.

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
remote> edrclone:/old email

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
remote> "edrclone:/old email"

Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
remote> edrclone:/"old email"

Bits of rclone.conf:-

[edrclone]
type = drive
client_id = zzzz
client_secret = zzzz
scope = drive
token = zzzz
root_folder_id = zzzz

[examplgd]
type = alias
remote = edrclone:/old email

[examplgd]
type = alias
remote = edrclone:/old email

That should work. It does for me.

OK, thanks. Wrong again. Missed the colon off the remote :upside_down_face:
