Copy files in local mode to a NAS

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I would like to copy files from a directory on my NAS to another directory on the NAS

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

root@truenas[/]# rclone version
rclone v1.53.1-DEV

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

local mode

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

rclone sync source:/mnt/volume1/PUBLIC dest:/mnt/volume1/SERVEUR

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

I don't know how to create the config file in local mode. Everything works fine in remote mode Google Drive example

A log from the command with the -vv flag

2022/07/10 15:26:26 Failed to create file system for "source:/mnt/volume1/PUBLIC": didn't find section in config file

I'm new to rclone have a nice day thank you for your help Richard :slight_smile:

hello and welcome to the forum,

for local, a remote is optional, try using
rclone sync /mnt/volume1/PUBLIC /mnt/volume1/SERVEUR

need to update to latest stable v.1.59.0 or at least v1.58.1

The cmd worked perfectly thank you very much.
But unable to install rclone version v1.59.0 in Ubuntu?
wget https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.59.0/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64.zip
unzip rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64.zip
cd rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64
cd rclone /usr/bin
chown root:root /usr/bin
Post: root@truenas[/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64]#
chown root:root /usr/bin
chown: root: illegal group name
chmod 755 /usr/bin

root@truenas[/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64]# rclone version
rclone v1.53.1-DEV
I looked for how to do it but everything I tried failed!
Have a nice day and thank you for your help Richard :joy: :upside_down_face:

good,

it looks like you downloaded the version for freebsd for truenas?

have you tried to install rclone using the install script?
https://rclone.org/downloads/#script-download-and-install

also,

I'm sorry but I wasn't very clear!
Truenas is under freebsd and I connect in ssh under Ubuntu or debian or the confusion for me. But rcloune is well installed under freeBSD. I tried everything but, I still have the same problem of writing right?
wget https://downloads.rclone.org/v1.59.0/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64.zip (Ok)
unzip rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64.zip (Ok)
cd rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64 (Ok)
sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/
Message: Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/bin/cp rclone /usr/bin/' as root on truenas.local.
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
Message: Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/usr/sbin/chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone' as root on truenas.local.
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone
Message: Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/bin/chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone' as root on truenas.local.
If I understood the messages correctly as root I cannot write or modify the directory or the file?
All tests lead to the same result! I can't modify or write to the /bin directory?
Thank you for your help jojothehumanmonkey
My beginner level under Truenas and linux
Have a nice day Richard :joy: :upside_down_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

hi,

is there a reason for not using the link i shared?
https://rclone.org/downloads/#script-download-and-install

as a workaround,
rclone is a portable app, does not need to be installed, just run it.

if i remember correctly, @jared is/was testing truenas

7

Because I tried it first and it didn't work. This is the first cmd I tried then I tried others and the result is always the same it can't write to /bin

i have never used truenas, tho they support rclone
i think truenas has built in support for rclone.

https://www.truenas.com/blog/truenas-multi-os/

as i suggested, rclone is a portable app,
so for now, just run it from inside your home dir.
in fact, on my synology boxes, that is what i do

Installation of rclone with "TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1" is solved! :slightly_smiling_face:

-------------- Example of cmd under Ubuntu terminal --------------

Note: To install rclone you must be connected to a [user] account and not a "root" account
Error message: Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as ​​root on truenas.local.

[user]@ST-A1-[user]:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for [user]:
root@ST-A1-[user]:/home/[user]# ssh [user]@192.165.10.120 --I log in with an account "[user]"
[user]@192.165.10.120's password:
Last login: Wed Jul 13 14:55:27 2022 from 192.165.10.120
FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p14 325282c09a5(HEAD) TRUENAS
...
Welcome to TrueNAS
truenas% --I am logged in as "[user]"

-------------- Before installing rclone --------------

  1. If rclone is already installed but you want to upgrade to a new version or you are on a beta like me!
  2. rclone will not install!
  3. You must delete the two directories "/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64"
    Path: /mnt/[volume1]/USERS/[user]/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64 --From [User] account
    Path: /root/rclone-v1.59.0-freebsd-amd64 --From "root" account
    According to your installation
  4. Optionally save your "rclone.conf" file
    /mnt/[volume1]/USERS/[user]/.config/rclone
  5. You must adapt everything between [] to your parameters
    [user]@192.165.10.120 (is random)
