Synchronization problem on a Debian 10 server

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hi I'm trying to upload from my dedicated server on the debian 10 system to my ftp but I get an error when I do the rclone sync command.
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 sync needs 2 arguments maximum
I'm not sure how to solve

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

I use the latest version

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Débian 10

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

FTP

Thank you very much for your help the community

The template asked for a log and what you ran. Can you provide that information?

Hello how to provide a journal please

I have another concern now.

you host address does not look correct.
should be in the form of ftp.example.com
you should remove the freebox@

do rclone lsd freebox: and post the command and output.

if you can, post the text itself and not screenshots.

he asks me for the flags and I don't know.

if the source or dest has a space character, then you need to quote the entire path

so what should I put for the first destination /home/techandapp/torrents/Action 2019?

https://rclone.org/docs/#linux-osx

as with any command line application, if there is a space character in the path, you must quote the path
'/home/techandapp/torrents/Action 2019'

I now have another mistake.

can you post the text, not screenshots.

do rclone listremotes, post command and the output, as text, not screenshot.

techandapp@PAR-206287:~$ rclone listremotes
freebox:

do rclone lsd freebox:

techandapp@PAR-206287:~$ rclone lsd freebox:

rclone config show freebox: and redact username, password.

are you trying to connect to
ftp
or
sftp

the filezilla screenshot looks like the remote is sftp, not ftp?

I still have the same worries but the problem is that I want to connect to an ftp and now it's an ftp.

ftp://ftpes:/freebox@82.64***493/:17493/Freebox/Films: Error while Dialing ftpes://freebox@82.64.58.493/:17493: dial tcp: address ftpes://freebox@82.64493/:17493: too many colons in address

do this and post the text output

should look like
[freebox]
type = ftp
host = 82.64.58.67
user = username
pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
port = 17493
