Command sync needs 2 arguments - but works in Rclone Browser?

Help and Support

Hi folks,

I’ve created a job in Rclone Browser on Windows, for which I get the output stats I would expect. However, when I try to run that same command from a shell I get “Command sync needs 2 arguments”. The command is:

C:\Program Files\rclone-v1.45-windows-amd64\rclone.exe sync --dry-run --delete-during --checksum --ignore-size --verbose --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --bwlimit 1.5M --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --delete-excluded --exclude /$RECYCLE.BIN/ --exclude /System Volume Information/ --stats 1s Y: OVH:WIP_BACKUP

What am I missing?!

Thanks,
S.

Sorry, before anyone asks the obvious question - I want to put this into a scheduled task so no, I can’t just run it in Rclone Browser. :smiley:

You need to put " around the parts that have spaces.

Should be this I believe:

"C:\Program Files\rclone-v1.45-windows-amd64\rclone.exe" sync --dry-run --delete-during --checksum --ignore-size --verbose --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --bwlimit 1.5M --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --delete-excluded --exclude /$RECYCLE.BIN/ --exclude "/System Volume Information/" --stats 1s Y: OVH:WIP_BACKUP


rclone sync --dry-run --delete-during --checksum --ignore-size --verbose --transfers 4 --checkers 8 --bwlimit 1.5M --contimeout 60s --timeout 300s --retries 3 --low-level-retries 10 --delete-excluded --exclude /$RECYCLE.BIN/ --exclude "/System Volume Information/" --stats 1s Y: OVH:WIP_BACKUP
