How to mount and get access to file on a headless server
Post Body

Hi,
I installed Rclone on a linux machine (let's call it PC A), then I uploaded a folder using the Rclone's encryption features to google drive. I can list and mount the folder on google drive to a local folder on the same pc (A) when I want to restore some files via the command:

rclone mount crypt: /home/tom/point/

Everything works fine and I'm happy with that.
Now, I'm trying to restore/recover my encrypted files on Google Drive on another linux machine (Ubuntu server 20.04 lts, let's call it PC B), in order to test if I still can get acccess to my files, in case everything goes wrong with the other machine (A). So, I first installed rclone on the new machine (PC B), then I copied the orginal rclone.conf file into /home/john/.config/rclone.
It seems to be working since I can list the files stored on the cloud if I run via a putty ssh session:

rclone ls crypt:googlecry

But, if I try to mount it on a local folder of PC B:

rclone mount crypt: /home/john/googledrive/

nothing seems to be happening. By running a new root terminal from the web GUI (PC B is a ubuntu headless server) I got this:

ls: cannot access 'googledrive': Permission denied

I then stop the mount via ctl c and see this error message:

^C2023/04/06 17:59:05 ERROR : /home/john/googledrive/: Unmounted rclone mount

I am missing something here probably. Maybe it's just that I don't know how to see them but there are there already. It was much easier to mount and save them on a linux pc with GUI. Could help figure it out please?
Thanks

Iā€™m curious why you are trying to mount your remote if you just want to copy the files from it. Why not just use copy or sync?

Try to add -vv to your rclone command to see more details of what is happening.
