What is the problem you are having with rclone?

i want to copy a folder from my ftp to onedrive but its copying only the files in the folder

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

-->v1.56.2

Which cloud storage system are you using?

onedrive

the comand i used:

rclone copy /home/user/FOLDER /home/user/onedrive --progress

im really new with linux and rclone. would be nice if someone could help me :slight_smile:

hello and welcome to the forum,

hard to help as you did not answer all the questions?

  • the output of rclone version
  • the config file, redact id/secret/password/token
  • the output of the command using -vv

you mention ftp and onedrive but your command looks like a copy from local to local?

and when testing, best to use --dry-run, rclone will simulate a copy without copying any files.

version
rclone v1.53.3-DEV

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

config file

[onedrive]
type = onedrive
token = {"access_token":"***
drive_id = ***
drive_type = documentLibrary

[ftp]
type = ftp
host = ***
user = ***
port = ***
pass = ***
explicit_tls = true

i dont know why but i get no logs..

  • best to update rclone - https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation
  • for the log, add -vv to the command. post the entire output
  • i am not sure i understand the exact issue.
    can you explain in detail, perhaps with a real example of a real command, real filename of a real file not being copied, etc...

the problem is, that i want to copy a folder from my ftp to onedrive. both are local mounted.
when i type in the command,

rclone copy /home/user/FOLDER /home/user/onedrive --progress

rclone is copying the files who are in the folder. not the folder itself. thats the problem.

the documentation might be a bit confusing.
"when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents."

so try
rclone copy /home/user/FOLDER /home/user/onedrive/FOLDER --progress

are you using rclone mount or what?

fwiw, rclone can copy from ftp to onedrive, no need for local mounts.
rclone copy ftp:FOLDER onedrive:FOLDER --progress

if you are using ftp, best to update, many bug fixes since that old version you are using.
