What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I cannot read files and create files using rclone linkbox on github codespace
When I try to create a txt file (also .py or anyother file), I popped out :

touch: failed to close 'hello.txt': Input/output error

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

welcome to the forum,

can you test without using rclone mount

instead using something like this and post the full output.
rclone touch telebox:hello.txt -vv

--vfs-cache-mode writes or full is recommended for this remote as it can't stream

need to fix that error.

i guess that is a quirk of telebox.
so instead copy a small text file from local to telebox and post the full debug log

5

It can, but can I live edit the files in rclone? Now I can copy files but cannot edit them.

6

Because I need to edit the files on github vscode codespace.

7

need to use the vfs file cache.
--vfs-cache-mode writes or full is recommended for this remote as it can't stream

check out my summary of the two rclone vfs caches

8

After using "--vfs-cache-mode full", I can create and read files, but the changes are not showed on Telebox's panel.
