Each file or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form ``rname@rhost:path'', or a local file name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).
If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to the login directory of the specified user ruser on rhost or your current user name if no other remote user name is specified. A path on a remote host may be quoted (using \, ", or ´) so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely. Rcp does not prompt for passwords; it performs remote execution via rsh(1), and requires the same authorization. Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the current machine. SEE ALSOcp(1), ftp(1), rsh(1), rlogin(1)HISTORYThe rcp command appeared in BSD 4.2 The version of rcp described here has been reimplemented with Kerberos in BSD 4.3 RenoBUGSDoesn'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 BSD 4.2 version of rcp
