Execute rclone on android without termux

[calisro (Rob)]

For anyone who wants to do this without termux, you can use connectbot to execute a pre-compiled binary that you, for example, compiled on ubuntu or downloaded directly from rclone.org.

I didn't realize we could use the connectbot data directory to execute stuff. Simply open a local connection in connectbot

cp <rclonebinary> /data/data/org.connectbot/files/
chmod 755  /data/data/org.connectbot/files/<rclonebinary>
/data/data/org.connectbot/files/<rclonebinary> serve --config=<configpath> remote:

Also see this thread. Pretty nifty:
