  1. create and test remote for webdav.
  2. create a rclone mount command.

I got to this part and got this error :

diamonddog@diamonddog-desktop:~$ rclone lsd r720xd
2023/10/30 09:14:52 NOTICE: "r720xd" refers to a local folder, use "r720xd:" to refer to your remote or "./r720xd" to hide this warning

2023/10/30 09:14:52 Failed to lsd with 2 errors: last error was: directory not found

use "r720xd:" to refer to your remote

and run all commands with -vv for debug output, ok?

I have a MYIPADDRESS:PORT# i need to put in there

you can search the forum, many examples about nextcloud.

I am not finding anything about this error. I do require it to point to a port so I have to put in 192.168.1.1:22 for example but it's not letting me do that and getting that error now. Any ideas?

11

What is your rclone.config file content?

12

it would look something like
https://example.com:22/remote.php/webdav/

and from the rclone docs, the remote would look something like

[remote]
type = webdav
url = https://example.com:22/remote.php/webdav/
vendor = nextcloud
user = user
pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
bearer_token =
13

Where is the RCLONE.CONFIG located?

14

rclone config file

15

[r720xd]
type = webdav
url = XX.76.XX.51:86
vendor = nextcloud
user = XXXXX
pass = XXXX

This is what mine looks like

16

that url does not look correct for nextcloud.
did you read the docs and the example i posted?

who is your provider, perhaps they are using a non-standard url, tho i have never seen any nextcloud provider doing that.

run rclone lsd r720xd: -vv and post the full output

17

The URL is an IP address. There is no domain name

18

diamonddog@diamonddog-desktop:~/.config/rclone$ rclone lsd r720xd: -vv

19

the ip is not the issue. the issue is the format.
not sure you are looking at the example in the docs and the example i posted?

are you not using https???

normally, would look like
https://XX.76.XX.51:86/remote.php/webdav/

Not using HTTPS just HTTP
