- What hides under the hood of the "rcp" command? These UNIX (HP-UX and
- SunOS) manuals don't tell the whole story. I have seen an Internet RFC
- on Rlogin, and Richard Stevens' excellent book (UNIX Network
- Programming) also mentions that protocol. However, I fail to find any
- references to rcp.
-
- I thought rlogin, rsh/remsh, and rcp were all the same thing in
- different shapes. They all use the same system of .rhost files. Now I
- have seen people comparing the performance of rcp with "cat | rsh",
- which suggests they are different, and I am not so sure any longer.
