How to copy a single file from a http remote to a drive endpoint

cod1 · March 31, 2019, 1:08pm

Hello
Normally to copy a http directory to a drive endpoint I do:
rclone copy --http-url [HTTP DIRECTORY] :http: drive: -P
But I can’t do the same for
rclone copy --http-url https://domain.tld/file.txt :http: drive: -P since it fails instantly
How can this be archieved?
Thanks

I think you can do this. I haven’t tested it.

rclone copy --http-url https://domain.tld :http: drive: -P --include=/file.txt

What’s the error

no error, running with -P just results in a:

Is it possible to share the HTML of that page? Seeing the source might help someone answer it.

Sure. And sorry for the delay… https://archive.omar.yt/youtubeannotations.tar.zstd

Looking at the root of that page it doesn’t look like a file listing which the http backend needs.

If you just want to copy a single file then try

rclone copyurl  -P https://archive.omar.yt/youtubeannotations.tar.zstd drive:youtubeannotations.tar.zstd
