Hello,

I was thinking about this scenario..  
If I have a EC2 windows instance(or Linux) which was connected to a share point VM through VPN tunnel.The EC2 instance is able to access the SharePoint site URL(contains some files) from the browser.  
Can FsCrawler index these files If I install it on the EC2 instance?  
Or is there any way to index the files in sharepoint site URL ??

-Lisa

FSCrawler does not support Sharepoint URL.  
It does not support URL at all (web browsing).

Unless you can mount sharepoint as a drive, FSCrawler won't be able to index that.  
But have a look at [workplace search](https://www.elastic.co/workplace-search). it supports sharepoint online out of the box.
