<p>Move rclone to your $PATH. You will be prompted for your password.</p>
<pre><code>sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
sudo mv rclone /usr/local/bin/</code></pre>
<p>(the <code>mkdir</code> command is safe to run, even if the directory already exists).</p>
<p>Remove the leftover files.</p>
<pre><code>cd .. && rm -rf rclone-*-osx-amd64 rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip</code></pre>
<p>Run <code>rclone config</code> to setup. See <a href="https://rclone.org/docs/">rclone config docs</a> for more details.</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>
<h2 id="install-from-source">Install from source</h2>
<p>Make sure you have at least <a href="https://golang.org/">Go</a> 1.7 installed. <a href="https://golang.org/dl/">Download go</a> if necessary. The latest release is recommended. Then</p>
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/rclone/rclone.git
cd rclone
go build
./rclone version</code></pre>
<p>You can also build and install rclone in the <a href="https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH">GOPATH</a> (which defaults to <code>~/go</code>) with:</p>
<pre><code>go get -u -v github.com/rclone/rclone</code></pre>
<p>and this will build the binary in <code>$GOPATH/bin</code> (<code>~/go/bin/rclone</code> by default) after downloading the source to <code>$GOPATH/src/github.com/rclone/rclone</code> (<code>~/go/src/github.com/rclone/rclone</code> by default).</p>
<h2 id="installation-with-ansible">Installation with Ansible</h2>
<p>This can be done with <a href="https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone">Stefan Weichinger’s ansible role</a>.</p>
<p>Instructions</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><code>git clone https://github.com/stefangweichinger/ansible-rclone.git</code> into your local roles-directory</li>
<li>add the role to the hosts you want rclone installed to:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code> - hosts: rclone-hosts
roles:
- rclone</code></pre>
<h2 id="configure">Configure</h2>
<p>First, you’ll need to configure rclone. As the object storage systems have quite complicated authentication these are kept in a config file. (See the <code>--config</code> entry for how to find the config file and choose its location.)</p>
<p>The easiest way to make the config is to run rclone with the config option:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config</code></pre>

<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
<p>Rclone syncs a directory tree from one storage system to another.</p>
<p>Its syntax is like this</p>
<pre><code>Syntax: [options] subcommand <parameters> <parameters...></code></pre>
<p>Source and destination paths are specified by the name you gave the storage system in the config file then the sub path, eg “drive:myfolder” to look at “myfolder” in Google drive.</p>
<p>You can define as many storage paths as you like in the config file.</p>
<h2 id="subcommands">Subcommands</h2>
<p>rclone uses a system of subcommands. For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone ls remote:path # lists a remote
rclone copy /local/path remote:path # copies /local/path to the remote
rclone sync /local/path remote:path # syncs /local/path to the remote</code></pre>

<h2 id="rclone-copy">rclone copy</h2>
<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-1">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Copy the source to the destination. Doesn’t transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Doesn’t delete files from the destination.</p>
<p>Note that it is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it’s the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn’t exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>
<p>For example</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy source:sourcepath dest:destpath</code></pre>
<p>Let’s say there are two files in sourcepath</p>
<pre><code>sourcepath/one.txt
sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>This copies them to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/one.txt
destpath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>Not to</p>
<pre><code>destpath/sourcepath/one.txt
destpath/sourcepath/two.txt</code></pre>
<p>If you are familiar with <code>rsync</code>, rclone always works as if you had written a trailing / - meaning “copy the contents of this directory”. This applies to all commands and whether you are talking about the source or destination.</p>
<p>See the <a href="/docs/#no-traverse">–no-traverse</a> option for controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this option when copying a small number of files into a large destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>
<p>For example, if you have many files in /path/to/src but only a few of them change every day, you can to copy all the files which have changed recently very efficiently like this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy --max-age 24h --no-traverse /path/to/src remote:</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer statistics</p>
<pre><code>rclone copy source:path dest:path [flags]</code></pre>

<h2 id="rclone-sync">rclone sync</h2>
<p>Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-2">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only. Doesn’t transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting files if necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Important</strong>: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the <code>--dry-run</code> flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.</p>
<p>Note that files in the destination won’t be deleted if there were any errors at any point.</p>
<p>It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the directory so when source:path is a directory, it’s the contents of source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See extended explanation in the <code>copy</code> command above if unsure.</p>
<p>If dest:path doesn’t exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer statistics</p>

<h2 id="rclone-move">rclone move</h2>
<p>Move files from source to dest.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-3">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Moves the contents of the source directory to the destination directory. Rclone will error if the source and destination overlap and the remote does not support a server side directory move operation.</p>
<p>If no filters are in use and if possible this will server side move <code>source:path</code> into <code>dest:path</code>. After this <code>source:path</code> will no longer longer exist.</p>
<p>Otherwise for each file in <code>source:path</code> selected by the filters (if any) this will move it into <code>dest:path</code>. If possible a server side move will be used, otherwise it will copy it (server side if possible) into <code>dest:path</code> then delete the original (if no errors on copy) in <code>source:path</code>.</p>
<p>If you want to delete empty source directories after move, use the –delete-empty-src-dirs flag.</p>
<p>See the <a href="/docs/#no-traverse">–no-traverse</a> option for controlling whether rclone lists the destination directory or not. Supplying this option when moving a small number of files into a large destination can speed transfers up greatly.</p>

<h2 id="rclone-delete">rclone delete</h2>
<p>Remove the contents of path.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-4">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Remove the files in path. Unlike <code>purge</code> it obeys include/exclude filters so can be used to selectively delete files.</p>
<p><code>rclone delete</code> only deletes objects but leaves the directory structure alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use <code>rclone purge</code></p>
<p>Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes</p>
<p>Check what would be deleted first (use either)</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>Then delete</p>
<pre><code>rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path</code></pre>
<p>That reads “delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB”, hence delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.</p>

<h2 id="rclone-check">rclone check</h2>
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-8">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Checks the files in the source and destination match. It compares sizes and hashes (MD5 or SHA1) and logs a report of files which don’t match. It doesn’t alter the source or destination.</p>
<p>If you supply the –size-only flag, it will only compare the sizes not the hashes as well. Use this for a quick check.</p>
<p>If you supply the –download flag, it will download the data from both remotes and check them against each other on the fly. This can be useful for remotes that don’t support hashes or if you really want to check all the data.</p>
<p>If you supply the –one-way flag, it will only check that files in source match the files in destination, not the other way around. Meaning extra files in destination that are not in the source will not trigger an error.</p>
<pre><code>rclone check source:path dest:path [flags]</code></pre>
<h3 id="options-8">Options</h3>
<pre><code> --download Check by downloading rather than with hash.

<h2 id="rclone-dedupe">rclone dedupe</h2>
<p>Interactively find duplicate files and delete/rename them.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-17">Synopsis</h3>
<p>By default <code>dedupe</code> interactively finds duplicate files and offers to delete all but one or rename them to be different. Only useful with Google Drive which can have duplicate file names.</p>
<p>In the first pass it will merge directories with the same name. It will do this iteratively until all the identical directories have been merged.</p>
<p>The <code>dedupe</code> command will delete all but one of any identical (same md5sum) files it finds without confirmation. This means that for most duplicated files the <code>dedupe</code> command will not be interactive. You can use <code>--dry-run</code> to see what would happen without doing anything.</p>
<p>Here is an example run.</p>
<p>Before - with duplicates</p>
<pre><code>$ rclone lsl drive:dupes

<li><code>--dedupe-mode interactive</code> - interactive as above.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode skip</code> - removes identical files then skips anything left.</li>
<li><code>--dedupe-mode first</code> - removes identical files then keeps the first one.</li>

<p>rclone cat sends any files to standard output.</p>
<p>You can use it like this to output a single file</p>
<pre><code>rclone cat remote:path/to/file</code></pre>
<p>Or like this to output any file in dir or subdirectories.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cat remote:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>Or like this to output any .txt files in dir or subdirectories.</p>
<pre><code>rclone --include "*.txt" cat remote:path/to/dir</code></pre>
<p>Use the –head flag to print characters only at the start, –tail for the end and –offset and –count to print a section in the middle. Note that if offset is negative it will count from the end, so –offset -1 –count 1 is equivalent to –tail 1.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cat remote:path [flags]</code></pre>
<h3 id="options-21">Options</h3>
<pre><code> --count int Only print N characters. (default -1)

<h2 id="rclone-config-create">rclone config create</h2>
<p>Create a new remote with name, type and options.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-22">Synopsis</h3>
<p>Create a new remote of <name> with <type> and options. The options should be passed in in pairs of <key> <value>.</p>
<p>For example to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto config you would do:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true</code></pre>
<p>Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the default is taken. Each time that happens rclone will print a message saying how to affect the value taken.</p>
<p>If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will automatically obscure them before putting them in the config file.</p>
<p>So for example if you wanted to configure a Google Drive remote but using remote authorization you would do this:</p>
<pre><code>rclone config create mydrive drive config_is_local false</code></pre>
<pre><code>rclone config create <name> <type> [<key> <value>]* [flags]</code></pre>

<h2 id="rclone-copyto">rclone copyto</h2>
<p>Copy files from source to dest, skipping already copied</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-34">Synopsis</h3>
<p>If source:path is a file or directory then it copies it to a file or directory named dest:path.</p>
<p>This can be used to upload single files to other than their current name. If the source is a directory then it acts exactly like the copy command.</p>
<p>So</p>
<pre><code>rclone copyto src dst</code></pre>
<p>where src and dst are rclone paths, either remote:path or /path/to/local or C:.</p>
<p>This will:</p>
<pre><code>if src is file
copy it to dst, overwriting an existing file if it exists
if src is directory
copy it to dst, overwriting existing files if they exist
see copy command for full details</code></pre>
<p>This doesn’t transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. It doesn’t delete files from the destination.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Use the <code>-P</code>/<code>--progress</code> flag to view real-time transfer statistics</p>

<h2 id="rclone-cryptcheck">rclone cryptcheck</h2>
<p>Cryptcheck checks the integrity of a crypted remote.</p>
<h3 id="synopsis-36">Synopsis</h3>
<p>rclone cryptcheck checks a remote against a crypted remote. This is the equivalent of running rclone check, but able to check the checksums of the crypted remote.</p>
<p>For it to work the underlying remote of the cryptedremote must support some kind of checksum.</p>
<p>It works by reading the nonce from each file on the cryptedremote: and using that to encrypt each file on the remote:. It then checks the checksum of the underlying file on the cryptedremote: against the checksum of the file it has just encrypted.</p>
<p>Use it like this</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck /path/to/files encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>You can use it like this also, but that will involve downloading all the files in remote:path.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck remote:path encryptedremote:path</code></pre>
<p>After it has run it will log the status of the encryptedremote:.</p>
<p>If you supply the –one-way flag, it will only check that files in source match the files in destination, not the other way around. Meaning extra files in destination that are not in the source will not trigger an error.</p>
<pre><code>rclone cryptcheck remote:path cryptedremote:path [flags]</code></pre>
