Seafile-cli on raspbian can't connect to server (HTTP error 403: Forbidden)

Hello, I’m having trouble getting seafile to work correctly on my Raspian stretch server. I tried both compiling and installing via backports and both times it works and initializes correctly, but when I try to run a command that connects to my server (which works on both windows computers and my android) it throws up an error.

Here’s the error in question.

I want to sync files from this pi to my central seahub server (which is ironically, another pi) so I can access its files online and sync to my other computers, but since it fails on connection even when I try reading the remote libraries I can’t. Is there any solution for this? Many thanks in advance, and I’m sorry if this has an obvious solution.
