What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Hi. When I copy directories using wildcards, I get an error "directory not found", but I need to copy multiple directories that start with the same letter. I'm sure there must be a simple way of doing this, but I can't find it.
I have multiple directories with spaces in the names and starting with the same letter, e.g.:
remote:backup/data/dir a1
remote:backup/data/dir a2
remote:backup/data/dir b1
etc.
I need to copy all directories starting with "dir a*" and have the directories created on the target.
Thanks in advance!
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone copy --bwlimit "8M" --progress "remote:backup/data/dir a*" "D:\data"
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[remote]
type = drive
client_id = [...].apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret = [...]
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"[...]","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"[...]","expiry":"2023-08-07T14:56:07.2838511-05:00"}
