SFTP pacer ratelimit handshake failure

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

All commands seem to fail on sftp. I tried to connect to the same locally with WinSCP and that seems to work without issues

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

$ rclone version
rclone v1.65.1
- os/version: debian 12.6 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.1.0-13-amd64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.21.5
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

SFTP

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone ls "mysftpremote:/stuff/stuff2/stuff3" -vvv --transfers 1 --checkers 1

rclone copy "mysftpremote:/stuff/stuff2/stuff3/file.txt" "/home/me/folder/" -P -vv --transfers 1 --checkers 1

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

moe@pogbox:~$ rclone config redacted
[mysftpremote]
type = sftp
host = XXX
user = XXX
port = 2022
pass = XXX

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

welcome to the forum,

should uninstall that old version and then
https://rclone.org/install/#script-installation

and to keep the logs small, use --retries=1

can you post the log?

what are the sftp server details?
are you running rclone serve sftp on windows?
can you post a log from the sftp server?
