Unable to use Blomp with rclone

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I’m unable to use rclone with Blomp.

It just returns “‘Operation forbidden”.

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

rclone v1.71.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 24H2 24H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.26100.6584 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.25.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

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

Blomp

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

rclone about blomp:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[blomp]
type = swift
user = XXX
key = XXX
auth = https://authenticate.blomp.com/v2.0/
tenant = XXX
auth_version = 2
endpoint_type = public
leave_parts_on_error = true
chunk_size = 1P
no_chunk = false

A log from the command with the -vv flag

You need to put your bucket on the end which is your email address

rclone about blomp:user@example.com

If that works you can set up an alias so you don't have to type that each time.

That works.

Thanks @ncw.
