hi,
best to use the help and support
template instead of site feedback
that means you must specify a command and perhaps some optional parameters/flags. for example,
rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true
perhaps you are using an old version of rclone, as that works for me and outputs help text, for which i have included a snippet below.
rclone rc
### backend/command: Runs a backend command. {#backend-command}
This takes the following parameters:
- command - a string with the command name
- fs - a remote name string e.g. "drive:"
- arg - a list of arguments for the backend command
- opt - a map of string to string of options
Returns:
- result - result from the backend command
Example:
rclone rc backend/command command=noop fs=. -o echo=yes -o blue -a path1 -a path2
Returns
{
"result": {
"arg": [
"path1",
"path2"
],
"name": "noop",
"opt": {
"blue": "",
"echo": "yes"
}
}
}
Thank you for the speedy, full reply.
Here is why I used the template that I did. 1) I did not want to have to enter the details required by help and support
- they seemed irrelevant here. 2) I did suspect a problem with documentation.

Ah. But the documentation's
Use "rclone rc" to see a list of all possible commands.
suggests that typing rclone rc
(sic) will yield a list of all possible commands.

Perhaps there is a prerequisite to running rclone rc
. If so, perhaps the documentation page should make that clear.
ok, i see your point,
after your post, i ran rclone rc
and got
rc.txt (34.8 KB)
but now i run rclone rc
rclone rc
2021/12/21 19:36:12 Failed to rc: failed to list: connection failed: Post "http://localhost:5572/rc/list": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:5572: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
edit:
for Use "rclone rc" to see a list of all possible commands
to work,
there must already be a running rclone rc
command

Thanks all.

I do not understand the relevant matters well enough.
