Hello rclone Community!
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Something changed with rclone 1.57.0 so that the rclone "touch" command is not usable for me anymore.
It all worked fine, and still does when I run rclone with 1.56.2, but it fails with newer versions.
I see that the --recursive option has been added to the "touch" command with 1.57.0, so maybe it is related to this addition?
Background: I use the "touch" command to test if the remote server is set up correctly. So I "touch" a new file that does not exist on the remote server and delete the file after success.
The errors I get with type FTP:
2022/01/26 12:47:06 ERROR : Attempt 1/1 failed with 1 errors and: failed to touch (create): update stor: 550 /files/ftp: Not a regular file
2022/01/26 12:47:06 Failed to touch: failed to touch (create): update stor: 550 /files/ftp: Not a regular file
The errors I get with type SFTP:
2022/01/26 13:01:26 ERROR : Attempt 1/1 failed with 1 errors and: failed to touch (create): Update Create failed: sftp: "Failure" (SSH_FX_FAILURE)

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
rclone v1.57.0
- os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.4.0-94-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.2
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
I have also tested the latest Beta, but without success:
rclone v1.58.0-beta.5960.a667e03fc
- os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.4.0-94-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.17.6
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Ubuntu 20.04 - 64 bit
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
I have tested FTP, SFTP, Dropbox -> All report the same: "failed to touch"
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
With FTP:
rclone --config '/tmp/rclone-ftp.config' --retries 1 touch 'rclone-storage:/files/ftp'
-> Result: Nothing happens on the remote side. An rclone error message is shown (see above).
With SFTP:
rclone --config '/tmp/rclone-sftp.config' --retries 1 touch 'rclone-storage:/files/sftp'
-> Result: On the remote side, a new directory "sftp" is created in "/files/" (??? Why a directory ???). An rclone error message is shown (see above).
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
