| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 22 | .B Rcp
|
|---|
| 23 | copies files between machines. Each
|
|---|
| 24 | .I file
|
|---|
| 25 | or
|
|---|
| 26 | .I directory
|
|---|
| 27 | argument is either a remote file name of the
|
|---|
| 28 | form ``rhost:path'', or a local file name (containing no `:' characters,
|
|---|
| 29 | or a `/' before any `:'s).
|
|---|
| 30 | .PP
|
|---|
| 31 | If the
|
|---|
| 32 | .B \-r
|
|---|
| 33 | option
|
|---|
| 34 | is specified and any of the source files are directories,
|
|---|
| 35 | .B rcp
|
|---|
| 36 | copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case
|
|---|
| 37 | the destination must be a directory.
|
|---|
| 38 | .PP
|
|---|
| 39 | By default, the mode and owner of
|
|---|
| 40 | .I file2
|
|---|
| 41 | are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
|
|---|
| 42 | modified by the
|
|---|
| 43 | .BR umask (2)
|
|---|
| 44 | on the destination host is used.
|
|---|
| 45 | The
|
|---|
| 46 | .B \-p
|
|---|
| 47 | option causes
|
|---|
| 48 | .B rcp
|
|---|
| 49 | to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification
|
|---|
| 50 | times and modes of the source files, ignoring the
|
|---|
| 51 | .BR umask .
|
|---|
| 52 | .PP
|
|---|
| 53 | If
|
|---|
| 54 | .I path
|
|---|
| 55 | is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to
|
|---|
| 56 | your login directory on
|
|---|
| 57 | .IR rhost .
|
|---|
| 58 | A
|
|---|
| 59 | .I path
|
|---|
| 60 | on a remote host may be quoted (using \e, ", or \(aa)
|
|---|
| 61 | so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
|
|---|
| 62 | .PP
|
|---|
| 63 | .B Rcp
|
|---|
| 64 | does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name
|
|---|
| 65 | must exist on
|
|---|
| 66 | .I rhost
|
|---|
| 67 | and allow remote command execution via
|
|---|
| 68 | .BR rsh (1).
|
|---|
| 69 | .PP
|
|---|
| 70 | .B Rcp
|
|---|
| 71 | handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files
|
|---|
| 72 | are on the current machine.
|
|---|
| 73 | Hostnames may also take the form ``rname@rhost'' to use
|
|---|
| 74 | .I rname
|
|---|
| 75 | rather than the current user name on the remote host.
|
|---|
| 76 | The destination hostname may also take the form ``rhost.rname'' to
|
|---|
| 77 | support destination machines that are running 4.2BSD
|
|---|
| 78 | versions of
|
|---|
| 79 | .BR rcp .
|
|---|
| 80 | .SH SEE ALSO
|
|---|
| 81 | .BR cp (1),
|
|---|
| 82 | .BR ftp (1),
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 84 | .BR rlogin (1).
|
|---|
| 85 | .SH BUGS
|
|---|
| 86 | Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might
|
|---|
| 87 | be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
|
|---|
| 88 | .br
|
|---|
| 89 | Is confused by any output generated by commands in a
|
|---|
| 90 | \&.profile, or \&.*shrc file on the remote host.
