Bug Description
A bug[1] is present in version 1.53 that has since been fixed in upstream 1.54[2].
I just noticed this problem with Ubuntu's distributed package on Jammy, and it looks like someone else did too within the last two weeks[3]. The issue is that mounting via sftp fails to authenticate with the Ubuntu version of rclone. Installing the latest upstream version (v1.59-DEV) fixed the problem using the same command and config that fails on Ubuntu's version of rclone.
Since upstream sshfs has been abandoned earlier this year, it would be nice if we could get a little more up-to-date version into Ubuntu for users that are evaluating alternatives.
1)
arc~ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release: 22.04
2) As noted above, I just uninstalled the deb in favor of the upstream version, which isn't broken in this way. The broken version is:
arc~ apt-cache policy rclone
rclone:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.53.3-4ubuntu1
Version table:
1.
500 http://
3) Expectation
Mounting using the following config / command should succeed:
Command:
> rclone mount glade:/
File: $HOME/.
```
[glade]
type = sftp
host = glade
user = holmanb
key_use_agent = true
ask_password = true
key_file = <redact>
```
4) What happened?
authentication failure, see the upstream bug
