What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am trying to download from a Mega share folder link by using MegaCMD to host it as local FTP and using rclone to download from the FTP. I have to do this because rclone's Mega implementation, and/or the interfacing library, don't support downloading from share folder links (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong).
The reason I'm doing this instead of using MegaCMD or MegaSync's built-in solutions is because the folder is massive (even loading the folder in-browser results in insane lag) and I've already downloaded it previously - I'm only trying to download new additions. The reason I'm hosting FTP in MegaCMD instead of WebDAV is bugs with the implementation - certain files are served as 0 bytes even in-browser.
Unfortunately I can't even test if I can rclone with MegaCMD-hosted FTP's, because rclone refuses to even attempt a connection to an FTP remote without a set password, citing "input too short when revealing password - is it obscured?".
Thank you to everyone for your attention. Hope I didn't mess anything up.
