Copy Internet archive

Good evening everyone, I'm trying to copy a folder from my internet archive to another folder.

Source folder

joswiack003/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/

Destination folder

My_Games_Windows_C/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/

This is the command I'm using:

rclone copy --progress --transfers=1 --ignore-checksum "remote:joswiack003/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/" "remote:My_Games_Windows_C/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/" -vv

debug >>>>

Hi George,

It looks like you have your remotes confused.

You are attempting to copy

from remote:joswiack003/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/

to remote:My_Games_Windows_C/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/

Are you trying to copy it to your local machine?

If so you should be using the local path (you don't need to specify remote:), so you should be copying to something like C:\Users<username>\Documents or wherever you want to put your file!

Let me know that helps or not! If not please add some more context on what you are trying to achieve.

welcome to the forum,

please post the output of rclone config redacted

no no, I'm trying to copy a file from one folder to another within my own internet archive, I could do it before, but I haven't used it for over a year, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Just dropping by to say I managed to solve it, not the way I did before, but at least it worked.

I added the --include command.

Then I entered the name of the file that was inside the remote folder: joswiack003/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3/

rclone.exe copy --ignore-checksum --ignore-existing --progress "remote:joswiack003/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3" "remote:Meus_Jogos_Windows_C/COD/Call of Duty Black Ops 3" --include "Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-3.rar" -vv
