Copying a file to a webdav directory with read-only permissions, which is mounted locally via rclone mount

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

A locally mounted remote webdav read-only folder allows you to copy a file there. The file is located in vfs and tries to transfer to a remote folder but is refused, 403 error

ilya@ilya-Lenovo-C440:/mnt/portal$ touch 1.dat
touch: failed to close '1.dat': Input/output error
ilya@ilya-Lenovo-C440:/mnt/portal$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: Input/output error
ilya@ilya-Lenovo-C440:/mnt/portal$ cp /home/ilya/1.dat .
ilya@ilya-Lenovo-C440:/mnt/portal$ ls 1.dat
1.dat
