What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Just downloaded rclone for Windows AMD64 and run config which went well.
Now I'm stuck with commands, With any command I get term is not recognized* as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program, or "Error: unknown command "rclone" for "rclone"".

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

Cannot run it. See explanation above.

Release v1.62.2 Intel/AMD - 64 Bit Windows10

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

Ok, your command above works for me, but when I'm trying
C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe lsd remote:
I Get "Failed to create file system for "remote:": didn't find section in config file". What does it mean?

that means you did not create a remote named remote, so rclone cannot find it.

you need to create a remote using rclone config, and then try rclone lsd

Ok, so I guess my previous attempt to create a remote was unsuccessfull. I will try again. Thanks for now, without the command written like that I was stucked.

PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64> C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe listremotes
Backblaze B2:

PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64> C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe lsd "Backblaze B2:"

PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64>

which is my B2 bucket. Seems to work then. What was the previous error then?

you tried to use rclone lsd remote: and there was no remote named remote.

the remote you created is named Backblaze B2

Sorry, one more thing. I'm trying to upload a local folder with its content to a sub-folder in my B2 bucket, like this:

PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64> C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe copy C:\Users\ricca\OneDrive\Documenti\Websites\rawriddims.github.io\assets\images\sights\articles\new-article-title b2:rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles
2023/04/19 15:27:38 Failed to create file system for "b2:rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles": didn't find section in config file
PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64>

What am I doing wrong?

14

same problem as before, need to use the correct remote name

15

Ops... So now with correct remote name:

PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64> C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe copy C:\Users\ricca\OneDrive\Documenti\Websites\rawriddims.github.io\assets\images\sights\articles\new-article-title Backblaze B2:rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles
Usage:
  rclone copy source:path dest:path [flags]

Flags:
      --create-empty-src-dirs   Create empty source dirs on destination after copy
  -h, --help                    help for copy

Use "rclone [command] --help" for more information about a command.
Use "rclone help flags" for to see the global flags.
Use "rclone help backends" for a list of supported services.
Command copy needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments: ["C:\\Users\\ricca\\OneDrive\\Documenti\\Websites\\rawriddims.github.io\\assets\\images\\sights\\articles\\new-article-title" "Backblaze" "B2:rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles"]
PS C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64>

"Command copy needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments": it says.
so I'm running C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe help flags and I see a very long list of "flags". Does this mean that my command is incomplete?

16

and as per rclone docs and my example from up above
If your names have spaces in you need to put them in "

17

With "Backblaze B2":
C:\rclone-v1.62.2-windows-amd64\rclone.exe copy C:\Users\ricca\OneDrive\Documenti\Websites\rawriddims.github.io\assets\images\sights\articles\new-article-title "Backblaze B2":rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles
I get the same error: Command copy needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments

18

try "Backblaze B2:rawriddims-img/assets/images/sights/articles"

if not then

going forward, run all commands with debug output and post the full output.
add vv and post the full output.
