I have 2 remotes - Amazon Cloud (source) and Hubic (destination). I try to transfer all files from source to destination. What I need - to overwrite all files on destination, which are smaller (or, ok, at least different size) than on source. Files on destination (if exist) are newer than on source. I try different parameters combinations with sync, copy and copyto, but get only 1 from 2:
all files are copied;
only files, which does not exist at destination, copied.
I have ‘a bit too much’ (~5TB) data for just ‘copy all and forget problem’.

If you want to simply overwrite the files on the destination using only the side, then you can simply use the --size-only flag. I’d suggest you use --dry-run to make sure that is what you wanted.

Does not work, at least for versions 1.36 and 1.37
Transferred: 0 Bytes (0 Bytes/s)
For ALL files I get
2017/08/18 08:14:40 DEBUG : xxxx.rar: Destination is newer than source, skipping
So, possible, flag --size-only does not work?

I make a test run… Looks like BUG
rclone.exe version
rclone.exe lsl HuBiC:default\test1
rclone.exe lsl ACD:\test2
rclone.exe sync ACD:\test2 HuBiC:default\test1 -u --no-check-certificate --delete-excluded --size-only --log-level DEBUG --log-file log004.log
rclone.exe lsl HuBiC:default\test1
------- log file of sync operation here:
2017/08/18 11:18:42 DEBUG : Go routines at exit 12

Looks like bug is in parameters reading. If I put “–size-only” as first parameter - “all works as expected”…

all my flags are always before my commands. In the docs its that way too.
Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters…>
where options are the flags.
The only time i’ve really seen it after is with the backup flag.
