Trying to get started replacing s3cmd with rclone for s3-compatible object storage. I’ve completed “rclone config” for bucket1 and bucket2 but cannot get past the following error to start the sync. ~$rclone sync bucket1-name:2019-11/ bucket2-name:2020/ or ~$rclone sync bucket1-name:2019-11 bucket2-name:2020

Bucket2 definitely has a folder in it named “2020”. I am able to upload files to this folder. Appreciate any guidance or follow up suggestions. Thanks.

Hello, @mflug
The issue is most probably with the path used in the rclone command. If the folder is present on the space than it’s most likely the path.
You can try with:
rclone sync bucket1-name:/2019-11 FullPathToFolder
I’m using Linux and the following command is working fine for me:
rclone sync space:/Books /home/sammy/books
Additionally you can add -vvv for more verbose output. This can help us with the troubleshoot process.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
