rclone: List contents of a directory on an rclone remote.
$ rclone lsf ${remote_name}:${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "rclone lsf ${remote_name}:${path-to-directory}" is used to list the files and directories present in a remote storage location using the rclone tool.

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "rclone": This is the executable command-line tool used for managing various cloud storage providers.

  • "lsf": This is the command within rclone used to list files and directories.

  • "${remote_name}": This is a parameter placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the remote storage location you want to access. For example, if your remote storage is named "mydrive", you would replace "${remote_name}" with "mydrive".

  • "${path-to-directory}": This is another parameter placeholder that should be replaced with the path to the directory you want to list within the remote storage location. For example, if you want to list the contents of a directory named "photos" at the root of the remote storage, you would replace "${path-to-directory}" with "/photos".

To use this command, replace "${remote_name}" and "${path-to-directory}" with the appropriate values for your remote storage location and directory path.
