     NAME
          rcp - remote file copy - TCP

     SYNOPSIS
          rcp [ -pv ] file1 file2
          rcp [ -p ] [ -rv ] file ... directory

     DESCRIPTION
          Rcp copies files between machines.  Each file or 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).

          If the -r option is specified and any of the source files
          are directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that
          name; in this case the destination must be a directory.

          By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it
          already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
          modified by the umask(2) on the destination host is used.
          The -p option causes rcp to attempt to preserve (duplicate)
          in its copies the modification times and modes of the source
          files, ignoring the umask.  The -v option causes the file
          names to be printed as it is copied.

          If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative
          to your login directory on rhost.  A path on a remote host
          may be quoted (using \, ", or ') so that the metacharacters
          are interpreted remotely.

          Rcp does not prompt for passwords; your current local user
          name must exist on rhost and allow remote command execution
          via rsh(1C).

          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 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
          rcp.

     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.
          Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .login,
          .profile, or .cshrc file on the remote host.
