rcp - remote file copy

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
_R_c_p copies files between machines. Each _f_i_l_e or _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
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 --rr option is specified and any of the source files
are directories, _r_c_p copies each subtree rooted at that
name; in this case the destination must be a directory.
By default, the mode and owner of _f_i_l_e_2 are preserved if it
already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modi-
fied by the _u_m_a_s_k(2) on the destination host is used. The
--pp option causes _r_c_p to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in
its copies the modification times and modes of the source
files, ignoring the _u_m_a_s_k.
If _p_a_t_h is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative
to your login directory on _r_h_o_s_t. A _p_a_t_h on a remote host
may be quoted (using \, ", or ') so that the metacharacters
are interpreted remotely.
_R_c_p does not prompt for passwords; your current local user
name must exist on _r_h_o_s_t and allow remote command execution
via _r_s_h(1C).
_R_c_p 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 _r_n_a_m_e rather than the
current user name on the remote host.

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 .login,
.profile, or .cshrc file on the remote host.
The destination user and hostname may have to be specified
as ``rhost.rname'' when the destination machine is running
the 4.2BSD version of _r_c_p.
