Ensure that the workstation acting as the rcp server is configured properly.
Ensure that the switch has a route to the rcp server. The switch and the rcp server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to
the rcp server using the ping command.
If you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one), ensure that
the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be user write.
