Rclone Syn question

sorry i am not that tech guy, it's a shared host. i don't know what to tell you other than this.

OK, that may make it difficult to optimize.

The bottleneck is most likely due to high load on the shared host, since I can sync 70K files from GDrive to an ultra small SFTP server in less than a minute, when nothing to transfer.

You may be able to work around the slow target using top-up sync, but that requires a fairly good technical understanding.

can i use this parameter for syn?

--max-age=24h --no-traverse --update --use-server-modtime 

another question what is the default number of file rclone syn at a time? i am just worried about shared host resources.

Yes, but it will not speed up the check by itself. You need to understand and implement the full top-up approach linked above.

rclone uses 4 transfers and 8 checkers by default - each uses am SFTP connection.

https://rclone.org/docs/#transfers-n
https://rclone.org/docs/#checkers-n

what i understand is that it will not speed up the syn but it will save the server resources and API call.

this is the command line i using, if there is anything I should add please suggest. and thank you so much for your time...i really appreciate

rclone sync --fast-list --max-age=1h --no-traverse --update --use-server-modtime  "remote:folder" "remote:folder" -vv

No, it will not. The filtering (--max-age=24h) is performed by rclone - not the servers.

You would be able to see this if the stats included something like: "Filtered: 9,700 / 10,000, 97%"

This combination is invalid and therefore will not function as you expect, because you mixed the concepts.

This command is much better:

rclone sync "GDrive:folder" "SFTP:folder" -v

If you want to try daily top-ups then execute this copy command daily:

rclone copy --max-age=48h --no-traverse "GDrive:folder" "SFTP:folder" -v

and supplement it with the above sync command weekly or monthly.

Thanks!
