How to go to another directory in rclone?

Help and Support
1

Hi everyone, I have an issue accessing a directory on rclone.

C:\\Users\\aaa\\rclone-v1.71.1-windows-amd64>rclone ls orsu:
100 .Xauthority
483 .bash_history
18 .bash_logout
193 .bash_profile
231 .bashrc
334 .emacs
780 .viminfo
287 .ssh/authorized_keys
227 .ssh/id_ecdsa
175 .ssh/id_ecdsa.pub

By default, these files are in /home/a/ when I ssh it. However, I want to access this path /data/a/

This is my config file

[orsu]
type = sftp
host = XXX.48.30.XXX
user = nguyen_XXX
pass = W39DojvArp5SMcKQklXu5bR1jpstcHL1ZNIXTPqK-XX
shell_type = unix
md5sum_command = md5sum
sha1sum_command = sha1sum

Please guide me how to go to the path.

Thanks in advance,
Ninh

welcome to the forum,

not sure what that means?

try list the directories

  • rclone lsd orsu: -vv
  • rclone lsd orsu:/ -vv

I tried the second command and it shows this.

C:\Users\rclone-v1.71.1-windows-amd64>rclone lsd orsu:/ -vv

Thanks, now I undestand how it works. I did the same thing for Web UI but it doesn't show anything. Would it be a way for Web UI?

i have never used it.
the web ui was released as experimental, has bugs not getting fixed.
for years now, it is a dead project.

if you need a gui, there are two that are sponsors of rclone.
