Cloud Sync pwd and salt limitations

Help and Support
1

Hello,

I wanted to ask, what is the character type and length limitations when using rclone to sync to a cloud provider. I am using pCloud. Can I use all printable ASCII characters for the password and salt? How overboard can I go with the length if I want? I know that with the salt if it is long it makes the encrypted filenames even longer...

Rclone information:

rclone v1.57.0-DEV

  • os/version: freebsd 13.1-release-p9 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 13.1-release-p9 (amd64)
  • os/type: freebsd
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.5
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: none

This is many years old rclone version you are using - probably full of bugs and problems compared to the latest one.

As for the rest it is not very clear what you are asking about - assuming you are talking about crypt remote:

Yes. But given that there is no length limit I would stick to something less prone to problems and hidden bugs. I use alphanumeric only in such cases.

There is no fix limit, depends really how much RAM you have:)

This is not true. Salt has nothing to do with encrypted filenames length. Have a read of crypt docs.
