rclone copyurl
Copy the contents of the URL supplied content to dest:path.
Synopsis
Download a URL's content and copy it to the destination without saving it in temporary storage.
Setting --auto-filename
will attempt to automatically determine the filename from the URL (after any redirections) and used in the destination path.
With --auto-filename-header
in addition, if a specific filename is set in HTTP headers, it will be used instead of the name from the URL. With --print-filename
in addition, the resulting file name will be printed.
Setting --no-clobber
will prevent overwriting file on the destination if there is one with the same name.
Setting --stdout
or making the output file name -
will cause the output to be written to standard output.

If you can't get rclone copyurl
to work then here are some things you can try:
--disable-http2
rclone will use HTTP2 if available - try disabling it--bind 0.0.0.0
rclone will use IPv6 if available - try disabling it--bind ::0
to disable IPv4--user agent curl
- some sites have whitelists for curl's user-agent - try that- Make sure the site works with
curl
directly
