I want to connect OneDrive to my server through rclone, but when I try to copy the authentication URL and open it in my browser, I receive an error. I've attached a screenshot of the error message.

    If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth?state=jO6MGKiRiPQepcScyPRA
    Log in and authorize rclone for access
    Waiting for code...

I've copied this localhost url and paste onto browser to load and connect my one drive but link show error of ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED as i mentioned above in image

Is browser on the same computer you are running rclone config?

7

Yes, I am using PuTTY to run rclone. I've also installed rclone.exe and ran commands in PowerShell, which opened the URL. However, when I open my VPS server on PuTTY and type a command, it shows 'refused to connect'.

8

It sounds that browser is on your computer but you are running rclone config on remote machine (VPS) using Putty.

In such case you have to follow slightly modified configuration process:

Alternatively setup everything locally (by running rclone in power shell) and copy/paste configuration file.

ok this is progress.

It is 33 in the latest rclone which indicates that you are using some very old rclone version... update to the latest version and hopefully all should work.

11

I am using

:rclone version
rclone v1.53.3-DEV

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.18.1
12

It is ancient:) from 2020. There were 30+ releases since then. Surprise it works at all.

Remove it and install the latest one:

I've upated to this version

rclone version
rclone v1.66.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.15.0-105-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.22.1
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

I've type command again when i enter N it's showing this :

y) Yes
n) No (default)

Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?

  • Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
  • Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

y) Yes (default)
n) No
y/n> n

Option config_token.
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
a web browser available.
For more help and alternate methods see: Remote Setup
Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
rclone authorize "drive" "eyJkZXNjcmlwdGlvbiI6IiIsInNjb3BlIjoiZHJpdmUifQ"
Then paste the result.
Enter a value.
config_token>

Can you tell me next step now i am confused how to do this now

  1. What you did so far should be done on your VPS in putty.
  2. Now on your local computer (in powers hell) run what it asks for rclone authorize "drive" "eyJkZXNjcmlwdGlvbiI6IiIsInNjb3BlIjoiZHJpdmUifQ"
  3. It will open web browser - you login and authorise
  4. Now in power shell it will display token - you copy it and paste into putty rclone - it waits for "config_token"
  5. your VPS rclone should be now configured
