This will show you how to configure a RCLONE remote to FTP.

The original documentation by RCLONE can be found here: https://rclone.org/ftp/

What you will need

  • RCLONE installed on your RetroPie
  • SSH access to your RetroPie
  • a FTP server
  • a user with access to that FTP server

Within RCLONE CONFIG on your RetroPie

Start RCLONE's configuration via

rclone config

Create a New remote --> n

Name that 'remote' retropie (in lower case)

Enter either 9 or ftp as your selection

Enter the host the FTP server is running on (I used my own NAS in my private network here)

Enter the user who has access to that FTP server

Leave the port blank if the FTP server uses port 21, else enter the port

You want to enter your own password --> y

Enter the password now (it will not be shown, not even asteriskes)

Cornfirm the password (again, it will not be shown)

Confirm your input --> y

You can quit RCLONE CONFIG now --> q
