I'm using ssh with crypt and if caching is turned on the filenames are stored in unencrypted format in the ~/.cache/rclone/vfsMeta folder, which would seemingly (imo) negate part of the security of obfuscating the filenames.
Has anyone else seen this ? is it a known issue, is it seen as an issue ? I would have thought that if crypt were on the files should be cached encrypted and only unencrypted in ram.
Cheers
there is no bug, that is how rclone works since the start.
rclone is open source, anyone is free to add that feature.
perhaps should re-categorize using feature template
yes, yes, yes.
agreed
Why?
The main rclone crypt purpose is to encrypt data stored in the cloud.
In any major modern OS local full disk encryption is something IMO is considered standard. It means that local cache is always encrypted anyway.
If you do not trust your local machine then I think you have more serious issue(s) than rclone cache.
Of course I can imagine that some people might have very specific requirements in regards to crypt implementation and its security. But then as already mentioned they are more than welcomed to implement it and share with wider community:)
