Impossible to connect to ftp folder after rclone mount

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I use ubuntu server as ftp server. The fpt with filezilla works fine, rclone copy on the ftp folder works correctly as well.
Problem starts when I do rclone mount on the ftp folder, because then I cannot connect to that folder with filezilla anymore (error 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/ftpuser/ftp)... nor I can see the rclone pid to kill it or unmount it. Any ideas? Thanks.

The /home/ftpuser/ftp is own by the ftpuser and I run the rclone commans as ftpuser as well.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.2

  • os/arch: linux/arm64
  • go version: go1.14.4

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Linux ubuntu 5.4.0-1015-raspi #15-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 05:34:24 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

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

onedrive

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

rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount --verbose --daemon  --allow-non-empty "onedrive":raspberry_ftp ~/ftp

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

cat .config/rclone/rclone.conf
[onedrive]
type = onedrive
token = ...

Does the FTP server only allow a limited number of connections?

Unmount the mount with

fusermount -u /path/to/mountpoint

Add -z if it complains about it being in use

It doesn't have a limited number of connections. The fusermount unmount rclone, but I need the mount command to monitor the folder and upload any new files on onedrive.

Are you trying to export an rclone mount with samba?

If so try the --allow-other flag

No, I'm using a raspberry with ubuntu server, where I mounted rclone to upload to onedrive the video a ftp camera send to that specific folder...
But, when I run rclone mount, the ftp doesn't allow any other connection (as I said).
Probably rclone mount change something in the folder...

Have you looked at the FTP server log? in /var/log most likely. That might tell you what is going on.

I tried, but it didn't help... This is the only information you can see in the log (a list of cconnect + the user)

Tue Aug 18 17:27:00 2020 [pid 12404] CONNECT: Client "::ffff:192.168.1.36"
Tue Aug 18 17:27:00 2020 [pid 12403] [ftpuser] OK LOGIN: Client "::ffff:192.168.1.36"

If you stop the mount, see how many times you can log in a the same time with an FTP client?

Rclone will log in multiple times. You might want to adjust the concurrency (see the FTP backend docs)
