What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to use copyurl since this is the best logical command and im getting the unauthorized error. I need to sign into the website with my username and pw but not sure how to use with rclone. tried signing in with chrom before running the command and didnt work

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.3

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

  • os/arch: linux/arm

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

Http

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

rclone copyurl https://myusername.lw983.usbx.me/files local:/disks/HDD/-PiDownloaded/RcloneDownloaded --error-on-no-transfer --transfers 1 --progress

I believe you can just embed as part of the url.

rclone copyurl https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@myusername.lw983.usbx.me/files local:/disks/HDD/-PiDownloaded/RcloneDownloaded --error-on-no-transfer --transfers 1 --progress

I tried this as i seen another user mention this. It unfortunately does not work for me. I still get the 401 unauthorized error

4

I did just test it and it does infact work for normal auths. I'd guess the website is doing something different.

5

If the site uses cookies, you can probably do this:

--http-headers

and set the cookies. or use --use-cookies

Will keep this is mind. Im trying something else with the first mentioned command and now im getting "local:/disks/HDD/-PiDownloaded/RcloneDownloaded/" is a directory as an error. my full command is

rclone copyurl https://username:pass@user.lw983.usbx.me/local/ local:/disks/HDD/-PiDownloaded/RcloneDownloaded/ --error-on-no-transfer --transfers 1 --progress

Wouldnt the syntax make sense though?

copyurl copies a file and not a folder though.

You can use the http remote though...

rclone copy :http: --http-url https://username:pass@user.lw983.usbx.me/local/ local:/disks/HDD/-PiDownloaded/RcloneDownloaded/

using this give this:
Failed to copy: error listing "": directory not found

9

Then the site isn't compatible. We can't see the site so it's hard to tell you.

Thanks for trying. Ill try figuring something out. I appreciate your time!
