Rclone is complaining about this line.

It says the file path for the MD5 sum is *../es.exe but that doesn't look like a valid path to me.

3

Same error if remove *:

cat sum
be62265282166584f2946d87454b214d  ../hello.c

tree ..
..
├── hello.c
└── md5
    └── sum

rclone checksum md5 sum .
ERROR : ../hello.c: file not in Local file system at /data/data/com.termux/files/home/code/md5

rclone don't know what .. mean in sumfile

4

It deliberately doesn't process .. as that is a good way of making security problems.

5

oh, you mean this is by design?

6

Yes - that is the case. Why would you be using .. in there anyway?

7

Because I just downloaded a game from repack game which has .. in the md5sum file. I want to use rclone checksum, but I get an error.In the end I used other quickhash check tools

8

I'd avoid that as those open up security holes as that's generally something that should not be used. I'd adjust the checksum to be proper.
