Winsock RCP/RSH 1.4
Copyright 1994 Denicomp Systems
All rights reserved
Winsock RCP/RSH are the Windows Sockets versions of two utilities normally
found on Unix systems. They work with any Windows Sockets compatible TCP/IP
stack, including Microsoft's TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups.
Winsock RCP, or Remote Copy, copies files from your Windows PC to a Unix
system, from a Unix system to your PC, or between two Unix systems. You can
copy individual files or recusively copy entire directory trees.
Winsock RSH, or Remote Shell, runs a specified command on the Unix system.
Any output of the command can be displayed in a window or can be directed to
a file.
Winsock RCP/RSH are command-line oriented programs, but do require Windows
to run. You can use them directly from the standard Windows Program Manager
File/Run menu selection.
You can also use the more Windows-oriented interface provided with this
package instead of the command line interface. Included are VRCP (Visual RCP)
and VRSH (Visual RSH). These are simple interfaces that prompt you for the
required parameters to Winsock RCP/RSH.
The command-line oriented RCP/RSH are useful from the Program Manager's
File/Run menu selection, 3rd party Windows batch file interpreters, and 3rd
party Windows command line interfaces. Also, software developers may wish to
call them from within their own programs. The registered version provides a
special "minimize" option to make this more transparent to users of your
software.
Winsock RCP/RSH cannot be run from the MS-DOS command line (COMMAND.COM).
They are Windows programs.
To experiment with Winsock RCP/RSH, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the
distribution file.
Then use File/Run from the Windows Program Manager menu. Enter the drive and
directory name that contains the uncompressed files, followed by "SETUP".
For example, if you uncompressed Winsock RCP/RSH into the directory C:\RCP,
type C:\RCP\SETUP.
Select a target drive and directory to install to and click on OK. It should
NOT be the same directory in which you uncompressed the distribution file.
The Winsock RCP/RSH group will be created. Icons will be in this group for
Visual RCP and Visual RSH, along with options to view/print the order form and
the manual for using RCP/RSH from the command line.
ALSO AVAILABLE
--------------
Also available from Denicomp Systems is Winsock RSHD, a Remote Shell Daemon
(Server) for Windows Sockets.
Winsock RSHD accepts command requests from remote hosts (Unix or other PC's)
via the standard "rsh" command and executes them on the PC running Winsock
RSHD. It also allows file copying to and from the PC via the standard "rcp"
command. A special "SendKeys" extension allows remote control of Windows
programs through the standard "rsh" command, even from Unix. Security can
also be enforced.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!!!
----------------------
For Windows programmers, also available is Winsock RCMD.DLL and Winsock RCP.DLL,
which are Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) callable from almost any language that
allows DLL calls, such as C, C++, or Visual Basic.
Winsock RCMD.DLL provides a function similar to the Berkeley Sockets "rcmd"
function for Windows Sockets. This provides the ability to initiate Unix
commands from within your Windows program and capture any output from that
command.
Winsock RCP.DLL provides a function that allows you to copy files to and from
remote hosts from within your programs, just like the Winsock RCP command.
It also includes the recusive copy capability.
Example programs are provided for both C and Visual Basic.
SHAREWARE
---------
Winsock RCP/RSH, Winsock RCMD.DLL, and Winsock RCP.DLL are shareware. You
can try them for thirty (30) days. If you find them useful, you can register
them using the order form included. If you do not wish to register them,
delete them from your hard disk or pass them along to a friend who may find
them useful.
By registering, you will receive the latest version of the product,
printed documentation, and support via US Mail or Compuserve.
The shareware version of each product is fully functional except for the
following:

them. This is to remind you that you are using an unregistered version.
* The Minimize on Startup option (-m) on Winsock RCP/RSH is disabled.

Winsock RSHD: SWREG #4256
When registering via Compuserve, if you would like the product to be distributed
to you via Compuserve's electronic mail, please send a message stating this to
71612,2333 after you have registered (Compuserve's on-line registration does
