Rclone command line

Help and Support
1

hello all, it is possible to use rclone without configuration or using switches for example with sftp:

rclone copy test.raw --sftp-host=1.2.3.4 --sftp-user=test --sftp-pass=test123 sftp:

or something similar.

thnx.

Yes it is, and you almost got the syntax right! Note the :sftp:

3

# rclone ls --sftp-host=localhost --sftp-user=rclone --sftp-ask-password :sftp:

2019/09/13 15:20:32 Failed to create file system for ":sftp:": couldn't connect to ssh-agent: SSH agent requested but SSH_AUTH_SOCK not-specified

Works for me

$ rclone ls --sftp-host=localhost --sftp-user=rclone --sftp-ask-password :sftp:
Enter SFTP password:

which rclone version are you using? (rclone version)

5

┌──[root@master]─[~]
└──> # rclone version
rclone v1.49.2

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.12.9

With the options you've set rclone should be asking for a password.

Did you set any rclone config in environment variables?

env | grep RCLONE

Can you run the ls command with -vv and post what it prints?

7

└──> $ env|grep RCLONE
┌─[✗]──[root@master]─[~]
└──> $ rclone -vv ls --sftp-host=localhost --sftp-user=rclone --sftp-ask-password :sftp:

I managed to replicate that finally

$ unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
$ unset SSH_AGENT_PID 
$ rclone ls --sftp-host=localhost --sftp-user=rclone --sftp-ask-password :sftp:
2019/09/15 18:14:39 Failed to create file system for ":sftp:": couldn't connect to ssh-agent: SSH agent requested but SSH_AUTH_SOCK not-specified

I made a fix here, can you give it a go?

Thanks for testing :slight_smile:

I've merged this to master now which means it will be in the latest beta in 15-30 mins and released in v1.50
