Sftp does not copy empty folders

[krushynn]

Hi,
I have a cloud sync task (sftp) configured in Truenas that pull data from Synology to Truenas. All except one work fine - Truenas is not able to copy empty folders. Can I somehow force it to copy/sync empty folders? On the Rclone website I found the right parameters (--create-empty-src-dirs), but how can I apply them to the sftp task?

As you probably already noticed, the GUI gives you no option to pass additional parameters to rclone, so you're out of options for a cloud sync task, but you can certainly use rclone yourself in a cron task and specify all the fancy switches you desire.

Or create a file named e.g. .keep_me in each empty folder. Common method in revision control managed source trees.
