Did that.  I created test1 as an sftp type and pointed it to  
user@ftp.kolico.ca:2222

Did that. The following worked well:

rclone copy [somedir] test1:/pathatdestination

Even the subdirs were copied.

I *think* I created it. But there was no provision to tell it  
WHERE the destination actually is.

I had this..

Storage> crypt

Option remote.
Remote to encrypt/decrypt.
Normally should contain a ':' and a path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir",
"myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).
Enter a value.

remote>

..and then I was stuck.  What do I enter there if I want the  
the remote destination to be at user@ftp.kolico.ca:2222 ?


 A> 4) Test it

 A> rclone copy spionage_secrets.txt cryptremote:

I ended up with this..

Configuration complete.
Options:
- type: crypt
- remote: ftp.kolico.ca:arn/archive
- password: *** ENCRYPTED ***
Keep this "mycrypted" remote?
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y

Current remotes:

Name                 Type

====                 ====

mycrypted            crypt
test1                sftp


But the following does not work:

C:\util>rclone copy . mycrypted:
2023/09/23 20:33:17 Failed to create file system for "mycrypted:": failed to
make re
mote "mycrypted:/arn/archive" to wrap: didn't find section in config file

It would seem that this part is the key:

Option remote.
Remote to encrypt/decrypt.
Normally should contain a ':' and a path, e.g. "myremote:path/to/dir",
"myremote:bucket" or maybe "myremote:" (not recommended).
Enter a value.

remote>

What should I be entering there if I need my destination to be  
user@kolico.ca:2222://arn/archive ?

I redited the crypt remote to achieve this:

Configuration complete.
Options:
- type: crypt
- remote: kolico@ftp.kolico.ca:2222://arn/archive
- password: *** ENCRYPTED ***
Keep this "crypt" remote?
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y

But that did not work either.

C:\util>rclone copy . crypt:
2023/09/23 20:50:45 Failed to create file system for "crypt:": failed to make re
mote "kolico@ftp.kolico.ca:2222://arn/archive" to wrap: didn't find section in c
onfig file
