Need Help with Rclone Authentication on VPS

[Future]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up Rclone on my VPS (running Ubuntu) to connect to Google Drive, but I’m having several issues and could use some help.

What I’ve Done So Far:

1. Local Authentication:

• I installed Rclone on my Windows machine.
• I used rclone authorize "drive" in CMD to authenticate and got a token JSON.

2. VPS Configuration:

• I connected to my VPS using PuTTY.
• I started configuring Rclone and chose not to use auto-config since I’m on a remote machine.
• I pasted the token JSON from Windows into the Rclone setup on the VPS.

Problems I’m Facing:

• Invalid Token Error: When I paste the token JSON into Rclone on the VPS, I get an error:

400 Bad Request
{"error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "Malformed auth code."}

• SSH Tunnel Issues: I tried setting up an SSH tunnel to authenticate directly through my browser, but the browser couldn’t load the authentication page.

What I Need Help With:

• Why am I getting the invalid_grant error when using the token?
• How can I properly authenticate Rclone on my VPS?
• Any tips on setting up an SSH tunnel correctly for this?

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Any tips on setting up an SSH tunnel correctly for this?
