NAME
|
|
rcp - remote file copy
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
rcp [-p] file1 file2
|
|
rcp [-pr] file ... directory
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Rcp copies files between machines. Each file or directory argument is
|
|
either a remote file name of the form ``rhost:path'', or a local file
|
|
name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).
|
|
|
|
If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are
|
|
directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case
|
|
the destination must be a directory.
|
|
|
|
By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already
|
|
existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modified by the umask(2)
|
|
on the destination host is used. The -p option causes rcp to attempt to
|
|
preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification times and modes of
|
|
the source files, ignoring the umask.
|
|
|
|
If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to your login
|
|
directory on rhost. A path on a remote host may be quoted (using \, ",
|
|
or ') so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
|
|
|
|
Rcp does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name must
|
|
exist on rhost and allow remote command execution via rsh(1).
|
|
|
|
Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are
|
|
on the current machine. Hostnames may also take the form ``rname@rhost''
|
|
to use rname rather than the current user name on the remote host. The
|
|
destination hostname may also take the form ``rhost.rname'' to support
|
|
destination machines that are running 4.2BSD versions of rcp.
|
|
|
|

|
BUGS
|
|
Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in
|
|
cases where only a directory should be legal.
|
|
Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .profile, or .*shrc
|
|
file on the remote host.
