How to encrypt your rclone configuration

For maximum account security, encrypt your rclone configuration file to protect sensitive data such as your Internxt mnemonic and JWT token.

Encrypting your rclone configuration is highly recommended because Rclone stores your Internxt mnemonic and JWT token in its configuration file.

Encrypt your rclone configuration

To protect these sensitive credentials, enter the following command:

```bash

rclone config password

```

This command will:

  1. Prompt you to set a password

  2. Encrypt your entire rclone configuration file

  3. Require the password each time you use rclone

Protect Your configuration file

Ensure your configuration file has appropriate permissions:

```bash

# Linux/macOS

chmod 600 ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

# Check permissions

ls -l ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

Other security advice

  1. Use a unique, strong password or passphrase for your account

  2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Internxt account

  3. Never share your rclone configuration file or credentials
