freebsd/eBones/man/rcp.1
Geoff Rehmet 60643d379b Initial import of eBones.
(Including all changes for FreeBSD - importing the original eBones distribution
would be too complex at this stage, since I don't have access to Piero's 
CVS.)
(If you want to include eBones in your system, don't forget to include
MAKE_EBONES in /etc/make.conf.)
(This stuff is now also suppable from braae.ru.ac.za.)

Bones originally from MIT SIPB.
Original port to FreeBSD 1.x  by Piero Serini.
Moved to FreeBSD 2.0 by Doug Rabson and Geoff Rehmet.
Nice bug fixes from Doug Rabson.

.SH NAME
rcp \- remote file copy
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rcp

.B \-p
] [
.B \-x
] [
.B \-k

.br
.B rcp
[

] file ... directory
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Rcp
copies files between machines. Each
.I file
or
.I 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).
.PP
If the
.B \-r
option
is specified and any of the source files are directories,
.I rcp
copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case
the destination must be a directory.
.PP
By default, the mode and owner of
.I file2
are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
modified by the
.IR umask (2)
on the destination host is used.
The
.B \-p
option causes
.I rcp
to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification
times and modes of the source files, ignoring the
.IR umask .
.PP
If
.I path
is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to
your login directory on
.IR rhost .
A
.I path
on a remote host may be quoted (using \e, ", or \(aa)
so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
.PP
.I Rcp
does not prompt for passwords; it uses Kerberos authentication when
connecting to
.IR rhost .
Authorization is as described in
.IR rlogin (1).
.PP
The
.B \-x
option selects encryption of all information transferring between hosts.
The
.B \-k
.I realm
option causes
.I rcp
to obtain tickets for the remote host in
.I realm
instead of the remote host's realm as determined by
.IR krb_realmofhost (3).
.PP
.I 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
.I rname
rather than the current user name on the remote host.
.SH SEE ALSO

rcp(1) [UCB version]
.SH 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.
.PP
Is confused by any output generated by commands in a
\&.login, \&.profile, or \&.cshrc file on the remote host.
.PP
The destination user and hostname may have to be specified as
``rhost.rname'' when the destination machine is running the 4.2BSD
version of \fIrcp\fP.
.PP
Kerberos is only used for the first connection of a third-party copy;
the second connection uses the standard Berkeley rcp protocol.
