Hi @jzunigax2 - thank you for the PR :-)

Can you tell me the status of the backend tests please? So the results of this from the project root?

go run ./fstest/test_all -backends internxt

Do you need the ultest directory? Can you drop that from the commit?

…e and enhance configuration instructions

Remove unused mnemonic check in refreshJWTToken since the mnemonic is not needed for token refresh operations. Explicitly ignore error return from pacer.Call in restoreBackupFile cleanup function.

Hey @ncw !

I dropped the ultest directory. As for the test results it had been a while since I last ran them and they helped find a small bug :) Still not included on this diff I'm hoping tmrw morning I'll be able to update the branch and attach test results. However I can't seem to get the test TestRWFileHandleWriteNoWrite in the VFS test suite to pass. I believe it must be related to it swallowing an fs.ErrorCantUploadEmptyFiles error here ?

validate file type before proceeding with existing file checks. H andle specific error cases related to empty file uploads in the Update method.

I've given the code a quick once over - see inline!

I tried to give this a go but apparently it doesn't work with the free tier. Can you make it work with the free tier, or document that it doesn't.

2026/01/23 16:08:34 NOTICE: Fatal error: authentication failed: failed to refresh token: refresh token: CLI access not allowed for this user tier (status 402)

I don't really like the backend opening browser windows directly. rclone config is only one UI for configuring rclone - there are many more which use the API or the rclone config state machine. Opening a browser window like this may well break the config on those UIs.

This seems to have re-invented rclone's oauth framework in the auth.go code? Could you use rclone's oauth framework?

However I can't seem to get the test TestRWFileHandleWriteNoWrite in the VFS test suite to pass. I believe it must be related to it swallowing an fs.ErrorCantUploadEmptyFiles error here ?

I think this test may be buggy! All the other backends which use fs.ErrorCantUploadEmptyFiles seem to be skipping this test in config.yaml. Feel free to ignore this test in config.yaml!

Can you fix the notes, rebase this on master, fix the conflicts and squash to a single commit please? Make sure you add the Co-Authored-By so we get the attributions of all the authors.

Thanks

This should be done with an encoding EncodeRightPeriod.

Not sure why we ever merged SkipLeadingDot because there is an encoding for that too EncodeLeftPeriod so I don't want to add to the problem!
