rcp(1) rcp(1)
Implementations of rcp based on the 4.2BSD version (including the implementations of rcp prior to HP-
UX 7.0) require that remote users be specified as rhost.ruser. If the first remote host specified in a third
party transfer (rhost1 in the example below) uses this older syntax, the command must have the form:
rcp ruser1@rhost1:path1 rhost2.ruser2:path2
since the target is interpreted by rhost1. A common problem that is encountered is when two remote files
are to be copied to a remote target that specifies a remote user. If the two remote source systems, rhost1
and rhost2, each expect a different form for the remote target, the command:
rcp rhost1:path1 rhost2:path2 rhost3.ruser3:path3
will certainly fail on one of the source systems. Perform such a transfer using two separate commands.
DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostics can occur from both the local and remote hosts. Those that occur on the local host before the
connection is completely established are written to standard error. Once the connection is established, any
error messages from the remote host are written to standard output, like any other data.
Error! could not retrieve authentication type.
Please notify sys admin.
There are two authentication mechanisms used by
rcp. One authentication mechanism is based on
Kerberos and the other is not. The type of authentication mechanism is obtained from a system file
which is updated by inetsvcs_sec(1M). If the system file does not contain known authentication types,
the above error is displayed.
AUTHOR
