2.4.6 rcp

The Kerberos V5 rcp program works exactly like the standard UNIX rcp program, with the following Kerberos features added:

-k realm

requests tickets for the remote host in the specified realm, instead of determining the realm itself.

-x

turns on encryption.

For example, if you wanted to copy the file /etc/motd from the host daffodil.mit.edu into the current directory, via an encrypted connection, you would simply type:

     shell% rcp -x daffodil.mit.edu:/etc/motd .

The rcp program negotiates authentication and encryption transparently. The full set of options to Kerberos V5 rcp are discussed in the Reference section of this manual. (see rcp Reference)
