# rclone File Transfer Skill
## Setup Check (Always Run First)
Before any rclone operation, verify installation and configuration:
```bash
# Check if rclone is installed
command -v rclone >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "rclone installed: $(rclone version | head -1)" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"
# List configured remotes
rclone listremotes 2>/dev/null || echo "NO REMOTES CONFIGURED"
```
### If rclone is NOT installed
Guide the user to install:
```bash
# macOS
brew install rclone
# Linux (script install)
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
# Or via package manager
sudo apt install rclone # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install rclone # Fedora
```
### If NO remotes are configured
Walk the user through interactive configuration:
```bash
rclone config
```
**Common provider setup quick reference:**
| Provider | Type | Key Settings |
|----------|------|--------------|
| AWS S3 | `s3` | access_key_id, secret_access_key, region |
| Cloudflare R2 | `s3` | access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (account_id.r2.cloudflarestorage.com) |
| Backblaze B2 | `b2` | account (keyID), key (applicationKey) |
| DigitalOcean Spaces | `s3` | access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (region.digitaloceanspaces.com) |
| Google Drive | `drive` | OAuth flow (opens browser) |
| Dropbox | `dropbox` | OAuth flow (opens browser) |
**Example: Configure Cloudflare R2**
```bash
rclone config create r2 s3 \
provider=Cloudflare \
access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
endpoint=ACCOUNT_ID.r2.cloudflarestorage.com \
acl=private
```
**Example: Configure AWS S3**
```bash
rclone config create aws s3 \
provider=AWS \
access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
region=us-east-1
```
## Common Operations
### Upload single file
```bash
rclone copy /path/to/file.mp4 remote:bucket/path/ --progress
```
### Upload directory
```bash
rclone copy /path/to/folder remote:bucket/folder/ --progress
```
### Sync directory (mirror, deletes removed files)
```bash
rclone sync /local/path remote:bucket/path/ --progress
```
### List remote contents
```bash
rclone ls remote:bucket/
rclone lsd remote:bucket/ # directories only
```
### Check what would be transferred (dry run)
```bash
rclone copy /path remote:bucket/ --dry-run
```
## Useful Flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `--progress` | Show transfer progress |
| `--dry-run` | Preview without transferring |
| `-v` | Verbose output |
| `--transfers=N` | Parallel transfers (default 4) |
| `--bwlimit=RATE` | Bandwidth limit (e.g., `10M`) |
| `--checksum` | Compare by checksum, not size/time |
| `--exclude="*.tmp"` | Exclude patterns |
| `--include="*.mp4"` | Include only matching |
| `--min-size=SIZE` | Skip files smaller than SIZE |
| `--max-size=SIZE` | Skip files larger than SIZE |
## Large File Uploads
For videos and large files, use chunked uploads:
```bash
# S3 multipart upload (automatic for >200MB)
rclone copy large_video.mp4 remote:bucket/ --s3-chunk-size=64M --progress
# Resume interrupted transfers
rclone copy /path remote:bucket/ --progress --retries=5
```
## Verify Upload
```bash
# Check file exists and matches
rclone check /local/file remote:bucket/file
# Get file info
rclone lsl remote:bucket/path/to/file
```
## Troubleshooting
```bash
# Test connection
rclone lsd remote:
# Debug connection issues
rclone lsd remote: -vv
# Check config
rclone config show remote
```
