I'm trying to sync an ftp server with a google cloud bucket. I think the easiest way to do this is with rclone.
According to the docs, rclone can link up to ftp easily. However, when running it myself, the output I get is very different:
e/n/d/r/c/s/q> n
name> remote_ftp
Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Amazon Drive
\ "amazon cloud drive"
2 / Amazon S3 (also Dreamhost, Ceph, Minio)
\ "s3"
3 / Backblaze B2
\ "b2"
4 / Dropbox
\ "dropbox"
5 / Encrypt/Decrypt a remote
\ "crypt"
6 / Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive)
\ "google cloud storage"
7 / Google Drive
\ "drive"
8 / Hubic
\ "hubic"
9 / Local Disk
\ "local"
10 / Microsoft OneDrive
\ "onedrive"
11 / Openstack Swift (Rackspace Cloud Files, Memset Memstore, OVH)
\ "swift"
12 / SSH/SFTP Connection
\ "sftp"
13 / Yandex Disk
\ "yandex"
As you can see, there is no option listed for ftp, and when I copy the example I simply get the error:
Failed to find remote: didn't find filing system for "ftp"
I suspect I'm missing something very obvious. How do I add a new remote for an ftp server on rclone?
I'm using rclone v1.36.
The problem was solved by installing the beta version:
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash -s beta
