    NAME
         rcp - remote file copy

    SYNOPSIS
         rcp [ -p ] file1 file2
         rcp [ -p ] [ -r ] 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 modi-
         fied 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.

         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 host-
         name may also take the form ``rhost.rname'' to support des-
         tination 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.
