Use Rclone golang to transfer files

[Ole (Ole Frost)]

Do we now need to :

1. Create and register a source (say remote1) and destination (remote2).

You can do that, or you can use connection strings.

2. Initiate transfer
   (basically mimicking rclone cli behavior).

Yes!

You can make librclone.RPC("sync/sync",) return when the command has been placed in the execution queue, that is before the command execution has completed by adding _async=true. If doing this, you probably also want to create a _group and then track execution with core/stats. I made a small example here: https://forum.rclone.org/t/c-code-for-rclone-copy/33990/11

@AlankritKharbanda

How would flags (ca-cert, no-check-buckets etc.) be passed into the above?

Using connection strings or _config similar to the way I pass --dry-run in my example:

@Ole

	jsonArg := "{ \"srcFs\": \"./srcFolder/\",\"dstFs\": \"./destFolder\", \"_config\": { \"DryRun\": true } }"

@AlankritKharbanda

Super happy to update the docs with a pull request after we establish the right contract here.

Great!

I suggest we help each other building a small example using the most used options like _config, _filters, _group and core/stats on a sync of local folders. That will be a good starting point for both you and @shenv56 - and cover most of the requests I have seen on the forum.
