--prune and --info local only?

Just wanted to check as I didnt see it explicitly in the documentation, but do --info and --prune operations only work on a local repo? I get errors when using a remote location for either operation but on the receiver end a local path works. The remote repo path is the exact same as what I use for the working --backup operation.

Re: --prune and --info local only?

also should i be concerned about the errors:

Error description: can't get blocksize, bad .blocklog format?, details: No such file or directory

Re: --prune and --info local only?

Yes, they are local options.
Only --backup and --replica arguments need to be licensed to work without restrictions.

Re: --prune and --info local only?

thanks - i would propose you change this message then and exclude remote:

Error description: when the action is --prune, third argument must be a local or remote path string, passed:

Re: --prune and --info local only?

--prune does indeed work on remote repositories, it is an internal feature though, we will change that message.
