TITLE :INF: RCP Requires -b Switch for Binary Copy
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When using the UNIX RCP (Remote Copy Program) command, binary files
will not copy correctly because RCP uses the ASCII transfer mode by
default.
Using the -b switch will solve this problem.
Example:
RCP -b [HOST1.][USER1:]SOURCE [HOST2.][USER2:] path/destination
More Information:
Other parameters for the RCP command are as follows:
-a Specifies the ASCII transfer mode (this is the default).
This mode converts between End-of-Line characters:
CR for UNIX and CR/LF for PCs.
-h Used to transfer hidden files.
-r If any of the source files are directories, RCP recursively
copies each subtree rooted at that name; the destination must
must be a directory.
-p Attemp to give each copy the same modification times, access
times, and modes as the original file.
RCP requires that the source host have permissions to execute commands
on the remote host.
Additional reference words: 3.10 rcp
