rcp

things rcp needs

both machines need to be knowen to each other
either in dns or /etc/hosts

it is easiest if both have same account name otherwise you will need the
-l username
option

need to have a line in ~/.rhosts like
<hostname> <username>

~/.rhosts MUST be chmod 600

with all this set up you should be able to get setup and working.
