.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B Rcp
|
||
|
|
copies files between machines. Each
|
||
|
|
.I file
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.I 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).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B \-r
|
||
|
|
option
|
||
|
|
is specified and any of the source files are directories,
|
||
|
|
.B rcp
|
||
|
|
copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case
|
||
|
|
the destination must be a directory.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
By default, the mode and owner of
|
||
|
|
.I file2
|
||
|
|
are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
|
||
|
|
modified by the
|
||
|
|
.BR umask (2)
|
||
|
|
on the destination host is used.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B \-p
|
||
|
|
option causes
|
||
|
|
.B rcp
|
||
|
|
to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification
|
||
|
|
times and modes of the source files, ignoring the
|
||
|
|
.BR umask .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I path
|
||
|
|
is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to
|
||
|
|
your login directory on
|
||
|
|
.IR rhost .
|
||
|
|
A
|
||
|
|
.I path
|
||
|
|
on a remote host may be quoted (using \e, ", or \(aa)
|
||
|
|
so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B Rcp
|
||
|
|
does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name
|
||
|
|
must exist on
|
||
|
|
.I rhost
|
||
|
|
and allow remote command execution via
|
||
|
|
.BR rsh (1).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B 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
|
||
|
|
.I 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
|
||
|
|
.BR rcp .
|

|

|
|
.SH 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.
|
||
|
|
.br
|
||
|
|
Is confused by any output generated by commands in a
|
||
|
|
\&.profile, or \&.*shrc file on the remote host.
