<i class="fa fa-link"></i> Alias
-----------------------------------------
The `alias` remote provides a new name for another remote.
Paths may be as deep as required or a local path,
eg `remote:directory/subdirectory` or `/directory/subdirectory`.
During the initial setup with `rclone config` you will specify the target
remote. The target remote can either be a local path or another remote.
Subfolders can be used in target remote. Asume a alias remote named `backup`
with the target `mydrive:private/backup`. Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:desktop`
is exactly the same as invoking `rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/desktop`.
There will be no special handling of paths containing `..` segments.
Invoking `rclone mkdir backup:../desktop` is exactly the same as invoking
`rclone mkdir mydrive:private/backup/../desktop`.
The empty path is not allowed as a remote. To alias the current directory
use `.` instead.
Here is an example of how to make a alias called `remote` for local folder.
First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
```
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value

\ "s3"
4 / Backblaze B2
\ "b2"
5 / Box
\ "box"
6 / Cache a remote
\ "cache"
7 / Dropbox
\ "dropbox"
8 / Encrypt/Decrypt a remote
\ "crypt"
9 / FTP Connection
\ "ftp"
10 / Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive)
\ "google cloud storage"
11 / Google Drive

remote> /mnt/storage/backup
Remote config
--------------------
[remote]
remote = /mnt/storage/backup
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
Current remotes:
Name Type
==== ====
remote alias
e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
e/n/d/r/c/s/q> q
```
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
List directories in top level in `/mnt/storage/backup`
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in `/mnt/storage/backup`
rclone ls remote:
Copy another local directory to the alias directory called source
rclone copy /home/source remote:source
