Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

when im uploading files to an ftp i get the error "SetModTime is not supported"

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

rclone v1.57.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.4.0-92-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

the ftp runs over glftpd

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

rclone copy /home/user/test/ ftp:test --no-update-modtime --progress

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[ftp]
type = ftp
host = ip.ip.ip.ip
user = Matze
port = ****
pass = TWiahSYEeLT4RCIRNPvk1x7zF-76
concurrency = 3
disable_tls13 = true

A log from the command with the -vv flag

maybe try,
--size-only

6

do not work. :confused:

ok, now time to get some good debug info, as we have some ftp experts.

copy a single file so that debug log will be small,
add --dump bodies

Note that, despite the scary looking message, this isn't actually an ERROR and everything works just fine with that message.

@ivandeex maybe we should make this a bit less scary? It probably only needs to be emitted once per backend also.
