While Linux users wait (and wait) for a Proton Drive client . . . - eviltoast

    Hi @stewie410@programming.dev & @leetnewb@beehaw.org, thanks for taking the time to write such detailed responses (and stewie410, you did not in any way come across as condescending, so no worries there). As I try to wrap my head around this, could you explain the difference between the “rclone rc” and “rclone rcd” commands? I’ve read through the documentation, but am still left scratching my head.

    EDIT: Good grief, but this is complicated! 😵‍💫 At this point I may just have to wait for the Linux client . . .

      I haven’t used either command, but based on what I see in the manual, rcd tells rclone to start listening for remote commands whereas rc is used to issue remote commands.

      Try it out by going to a folder with some files and typing: rclone rcd .

      That should open a tab in your web browser with a list of your files.

      There are situations where being able to send commands to rclone remotely would be helpful, but I’m not sure that you need to do that in this case.
