Operations/list for SFTP gives error but command line "ls" works

Help and Support
1

Hello Experts,

We are using 'rclone-v1.68.2' and 'rclone-v1.63.1' in both below behavior is same -

Have created a remote for SFTP (azure service) and trying to list files inside of SFTP path.

In command line mode it works as expected :-

image
image1157×329 12.2 KB

But if I try to list same directory using remote mode api :-

image
image1090×839 35.7 KB

It always gives 404 error.

What could be the reason for this? Am I missing anyting here?
Suggestions is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mahendra

Not sure.. things to try

Try without the _filter

Try without the / on the end of the remote

Try with -vv on the rclone rcd and check the log

Thank you @ncw for the quick response -

I tried removing "_filter" and "/" but that did not make any difference.

I have an idea...

Move the / at the start of the remote to the end of the fs

fs=telerm:/
remote=Teleflex/Preprod/InBound/

The sftp backend cares about that / without it, it will be looking in the home directory of the user and maybe it is being stripped off the remote.

Thank you @ncw this trick worked !

This request gave expected response :smiley:
{
"fs": "telerm:/",
"remote": "/Teleflex/Preprod/InBound"
}

Thing to note that -
{
"fs": "telerm:/",
"remote": "/Teleflex/Preprod/InBound/"
}
resulted in empty array response (instead of listing the files)

Where as in command line -

  1. D:\Software\rclone-v1.68.2-windows-amd64>rclone.exe ls telerm:/Teleflex/Preprod/InBound
  2. D:\Software\rclone-v1.68.2-windows-amd64>rclone.exe ls telerm:/Teleflex/Preprod/InBound/

Both of these command gave correct result (listed all files)

Thank you once again for your such a quick response @ncw
