It’s possible to use [https://rclone.org/ rclone] to mount any of the [https://rclone.org/#providers remotes] that it supports.

== Steps ==

1. Install [https://rclone.org/downloads/ rclone] ''(preferably use package manager of your distro)''.

2. Add a ''remote'' using <code>rclone config</code>.

3. Test connection by running: <code>rclone mount <remote host>:<path> /path/to/mountpoint --daemon</code> and make sure ''remote'' correctly mounted to specified <code>mountpoint</code>.

4. Add to your <code>vifmrc</code>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="vim">filextype *.rclone FUSE_MOUNT2|rclone %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR</syntaxhighlight>

5. Create a file with ''remote'' connection settings. Run <code>:edit <user@remote>.rclone</code> and write:
<pre>mount <remote host>:<path> --daemon</pre>

== Example ==

This is a sample configuration of <code>SFTP</code> connection to localhost.

<code>~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf</code> as generated by <code>rclone config</code>:

<pre>[testuser_at_localhost]
type = sftp
host = localhost
user = testuser
pass = <password hash>
use_insecure_cipher = false
shell_type = unix
md5sum_command = md5sum
sha1sum_command = sha1sum</pre>
Mount file (<code>testuser@localhost.rclone</code>):

<pre>mount testuser_at_localhost:/ --daemon</pre>
