Rclone ls vs rclone mount + ls

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When i use

$rclone mount

i don't see the hidden directories and files
in the file system,
nor can i access them, even though i know the name

for example

$ls hidden

will give file or dir does not exist
(the same for ls -a)

while

$rclone ls remote:/hidden

while show the files under hidden that are not hidden

(hidden in this sense means, having the hidden attribute on probably a windows? ntfs? file system)

Any suggestions what i could try?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.3-DEV

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.15.9

Which cloud storage system are you using?

Webdav (hcwebdav) (no more info available)

Is there a reason you deleted the help template? The debug logs would have been useful to see what is going on with specific files.

Can you make a basic example that shows the issues?

Either way, before doing anything, upgrade to the latest. You are super, super behind.

Anyway, hidden files are very different between OSes. I think Windows sets an attribute. macOS and linux use the . notation (e.g. .hidden). And macOS also supports it via extended attributes.

AFAIK, rclone + FUSE doesn't support any other attributes so really only the dot-version works.

And testing on my computer, dot-files work exactly as expted.

Thank you for the feedback

The hidden objects have the attribute hidden on NTFS, the remote drive is NTFS with webdav

works:

$ rclone lsl remote:dir/hidden/ -vv

.. fileA .. fileB ..

does not work:

$ rclone mount --daemon --vfs-cache-mode writes remote:/htcomnet/hcwebdav/Home/ remote/ -vv

.. in the mounted rclone dir under remote, using bash

$ ls -a hidden
ls: no access to 'hidden': file or directory does not exist

while it does, as shown above, this directory and files do exist

without running rclone as a daemon (the effect of ls -a hidden):
