hi, yes there are many ways.

for the remote pc, what protocols can you use for file transfer?  
sftp, ftp, smb/samba, webdav or how?

and rclone itself, can run on the remote pc, can emulate a sftp/ftp/webdav/etc...  
and then the local rclone can copy to that remote rclone server  
`rclone serve sftp`
