Re: Rclone?

[Matt M]

Hi, Michael,

The mount seems flaky to me, at least when copying _to_ it using Finder on 
Macos (copying _from_ it is fine).  So, I tend to use the direct commands for 
move, copy, copyto, delete, etc., from eshell.

I was thinking of writing the integration myself, but I'm relatively new to 
elisp and don't know the tramp integration points at all.  So, I was hoping 
this was already in the works! ;)

If, however, you can point me to a document which might explain the minimum 
functions I need to implement for a new integration, that would help a lot!

But, if you are interested in this yourself, I should probably not bother, as I 
would be too slow and the code poorly written!
