What is the problem you are having with rclone?

mentioned in the title

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

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)

You have to run rclone config to generate it the first time and make your remote.

When i create it it says couldn't create permission denied

You'd want to fix the permissions on the file / home directory.

etexter@seraphite ~ % rclone config file
Configuration file is stored at:
/Users/etexter/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
etexter@seraphite ~ % ls -al /Users/etexter/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
-rw-------  1 etexter  staff  1943 Jul  5 16:30 /Users/etexter/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

You can check and validate the permissions are right. Are you using a different user? Did you run it as root or something?

That's not a rclone issue per se as you have a linux permissions issue on your home drive.

You'd have to figure out / fix that.

okay thank you!

You may have two versions of rclone on your computer with the oldest being first in your search path.

Try this:

cd /folder/with/rclone1.56
./rclone version
rclone version
