Thanks @asdffdsa. Sorry if I'm missing something. I read through the details in the link. It seems that the commands are for an encrypted remote (crypt) as opposed to encrypted files and directories. Unless the commands --crypt can be used for both. If yes, is the command below sufficient?
rclone.exe copyto --stats 10s --progress --log-file=rclone_log.txt --log-level DEBUG --crypt-filename-encryption=off --crypt-directory-name-encryption=false --crypt-password=PASSWORD --crypt-password2=SEED remote:/ /path/to/files/on/local/hard/drive
