Is it possible to install a RCLONE on VM (HUB) and then, you use to move data from remote server (on-prem) to OCI Object storage through the FastConnect Tunnel using the RCLONE VM HUB?

welcome to the forum,

depends on the vm, https://rclone.org/downloads/

well, as with any file copier, need access to the source and dest.

Should the source folder be mounted on the RCLONE VM or can RCLONE be used to connect remote source folder using the IP address and folder path?

depends on what do you mean by mounted, smb|samba, nfs or what???

NFS.

I need to move data from on-prem sever IP 1.2.3.4 and folder test_poc_source to OCI object storage bucket. I want to install rclone on an instance on OCI . then, I use rclone to move data from 1.2.3...4@test_poc_source to OCI object storage bucket.. the on-prem has unix OS , the VM has Linux OS

rclone needs access to the source, same as any file copier.
can use native commands to mount the nfs share and use that as the source.
