rclone config string

Print connection string for a single remote.

Synopsis

Print a connection string for a single remote.

The connection strings can be used wherever a remote is needed and can be more convenient than using the config file, especially if using the RC API.

Backend parameters may be provided to the command also.

Example:

$ rclone config string s3:rclone --s3-no-check-bucket
:s3,access_key_id=XXX,no_check_bucket,provider=AWS,region=eu-west-2,secret_access_key=YYY:rclone

NB the strings are not quoted for use in shells (eg bash, powershell, windows cmd). Most will work if enclosed in "double quotes", however connection strings that contain double quotes will require further quoting which is very shell dependent.
