Before you can use rcp to copy files to or from a remote host, the remote host must be configured in one of two ways:

  • You must have an account on the remote host with the same login name as your local login name, and the name of your local host must be in the remote host's /etc/hosts.equiv file.

  • You must have an account on the remote host, and the name of your local host and your local login name must be in a .rhosts file in your home directory on the remote host.
