Local Filesystem

Local paths are specified as normal filesystem paths, eg /path/to/wherever, so

rclone sync /home/source /tmp/destination

Will sync /home/source to /tmp/destination

These can be configured into the config file for consistencies sake,
but it is probably easier not to.

Modified time

Rclone reads and writes the modified time using an accuracy determined by
the OS. Typically this is 1ns on Linux, 10 ns on Windows and 1 Second
on OS X.

Filenames

Filenames are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 on disk. This is the
normal case for Windows and OS X. There is a bit more uncertainty in
the Linux world, but new distributions will have UTF-8 encoded files
names.

If an invalid (non-UTF8) filename is read, the invalid caracters will
be replaced with the unicode replacement character, '<27>'. rclone
will emit a warning in this case, eg

Local file system at .: Replacing invalid UTF-8 characters in "gro\xdf"
