remote copy (r-utility) (rcp)

Remote Copy (rcp) belongs to the Berkeley services and specifically to the r commands.

The rcp service is a protocol for copyingfiles between networked clients and servers, provided they support the rpc daemon. Remote Copy consists only of the rcp command and a single command line.

The rcp protocol uses the same mechanisms for authentication as remote shell( rsh). A file copy can only occur if both computer systems use the same user name.
