Using rcp

The rcp command is one of the standard "r" commands supported by many TCP/IP platforms
for copying files between hosts. It provides greater security than ftp by requiring hosts to be

system
The system uses tcp port 514 for rcp requests. This is a standard port number and should be
compatible with your software (that is, your remote host's software should use this port to issue
rcp requests to the system).
The rcp command uses the following syntax (bracketed [ ] arguments are optional):
rcp [-p] [host:]file1 [host:]file2
rcp [-p] [-r] [host:]file1 ... [host:]directory
Where:
[host]

[-p]
[-r]
Your remote host's software may vary. Consult the TCP/IP documentation for command
support, setup, and usage.
Note:
You must have a valid account on each host involved in the transfer. By default,

your local login is used as the account name on all systems. To use an alternate
login name on a particular system, prefix the host name with the alternate login
name using the format
