How to restrict rclone serve to a single IP:Port?

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Is there a way to use the addr option to restrict rclone serve to only allow a single ip:port to connect? For example, if I only wanted 192.168.3.5 to connect at port 5555?

For example, using rclone serve sftp

As I understand:

--addr=localhost:5555 or --addr=127.0.0.1:5555 or --addr=IP_OF_SERVER:5555 will make it available only on the serving computer

--addr=:5555 will make it available over the internet (if the port is forwarded) and make it available over LAN

--addr=192.168.3.5:5555 doesn't seem to work if I want to listen only to 192.168.3.5

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.1

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Education 21H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.22000.1281 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.19.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

rclone serve

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone serve sftp remote:path --addr:?

It's very helpful for us to use the help and support template.

-addr isn't a flag for rclone. Do you mean rc-addr?

--addr is for any of the rclone serve commands

No, you have to do that in the firewall of your computer/network. rclone doesn't contain a firewall, and shouldn't.

Tip: Try searching for "addr" in the list of flags, then you see the flags related to adresses.

Great as I thought you were talking about rclone rc comands since the help template wasn't used :frowning:

I have no issues with making a specific IP / port:

felix@gemini:~$ netstat -an | grep 4495

Would be great to know what you are running / error log.
