This is a ridiculously simplistic view of things, to the point where it's not really worth any merit.
Mounting (s)ftp(s) and using it as a local folder does some things, but fails at the basics. Eg, if I upload a 50gb file (and actually manage to get it to upload all the way without crashing), how can I checksum verify what I uploaded without it costing me 50gb in downloading and time?
There's plenty more edgecases, but suffice to say, there's a reason why tools like rclone & rsync exist - copy and paste does not cut it for a lot of uses, especially when mixing large files, remote servers and (even good) internet connections.
- danuker 5y agoWhile you missed the joke, rclone and rsync are nice.
- BuildTheRobots 5y agoI totally missed the sarcasm - sorry, I'm far more used to it on other platforms than here. I also spent a few days fighting with <cloud storage provider> uploads from our NAS recently, so I'm a little bitter ;)
