Step 2
host file [rcp] command. Specify the IP address or host name of the rcp server and the destination
filename.

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. Make sure that the permissions on the file are set to user
write.
