What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Trying to mount my rsync (.) net account. rclone report success, but no mount drive is actually being created.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone.exe --version
rclone v1.71.2
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 22H2 22H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.19045.6456 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
rsync (.) net
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
powershell -NoProfile -Command "$v = 'rclone_debug_temp_pass1234' | ./rclone.exe obscure -; ./rclone.exe mount --vfs-cache-mode writes --sftp-host zh5963.rsync.net --sftp-user zh5963 --sftp-pass $v :sftp: X:"
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
N/A (there is no config. everything is configured in the command line.)
A log from the command with the -vv flag
This is the log before pressing ctrl+C, where rclone believe everything is working, but the network drive does not show up in explorer:

Also, the forum (.) rclone (.) org post editor is awful, it has constantly been fighting me on the usage of backticks (`) on Firefox 140.4.0ESR, it would not surprise me if some of the code blocks are not actually wrapped in a code block because the editor is being… hostile.
Also this post is using live credentials. I know and I don’t care, I will change the password later, and there is nothing of value on the account. Feel free to test the account/commandline yourselves. Is any of you using Windows? Is it working for you guys? Suggestions? help?
