title: How to make an ftp remote with rclone
body: <p>I'm trying to sync an ftp server with a google cloud bucket. I think the easiest way to do this is with rclone.</p>
  
  <p>According to the docs, <a href="https://rclone.org/ftp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rclone can link up to ftp easily</a>. However, when running it myself, the output I get is very different:</p>
  
  <pre><code>e/n/d/r/c/s/q&gt; n
  name&gt; remote_ftp
  Type of storage to configure.
  Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
   1 / Amazon Drive
     \ "amazon cloud drive"
   2 / Amazon S3 (also Dreamhost, Ceph, Minio)
     \ "s3"
   3 / Backblaze B2
     \ "b2"
   4 / Dropbox
     \ "dropbox"
   5 / Encrypt/Decrypt a remote
     \ "crypt"
   6 / Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive)
     \ "google cloud storage"
   7 / Google Drive
     \ "drive"
   8 / Hubic
     \ "hubic"
   9 / Local Disk
     \ "local"
  10 / Microsoft OneDrive
     \ "onedrive"
  11 / Openstack Swift (Rackspace Cloud Files, Memset Memstore, OVH)
     \ "swift"
  12 / SSH/SFTP Connection
     \ "sftp"
  13 / Yandex Disk
     \ "yandex"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see, there is no option listed for ftp, and when I copy the example I simply get the error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Failed to find remote: didn't find filing system for "ftp"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I suspect I'm missing something very obvious. How do I add a new remote for an ftp server on rclone?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using rclone v1.36.</p>
