What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm syncing files from local to AWS s3 using Rclone. Can rclone execute sync without creating config file ? I mean by passing aws accesskey, secret key etc as part of the body ?

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

rclone v1.61.1

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19044.2846 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.19.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

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

AWS S3

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

http://127.0.0.1:5572/sync/sync

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

yes, via the command line, can use connection strings and/or environment variables.

did you try? did that not work? is there a rclone debug log?

Hi navdeep,

Perhaps you are looking for something like this:

"dstFs":':s3,provider=AWS,access_key_id="",secret_access_key="",...:some/folder'

Not tested and not sure if everything is correctly escaped/put in quotes - but hope you get the idea.

More info here:

@Ole @asdffdsa :
Tried the following

But getting this error:
(removed image with secrets - ncw)

could be an issue with formatting, need to use quotes for values

@asdffdsa
Tried even that, but same error.

I guess the error message is caused by the (newline?) character just before region=

PS: Your IAM access key and secret are visible in the error message, I therefore recommend you immediately delete the access key used above and make a new.

Yes, that worked. Thank you !!
