At least one of .I fromfile and .I tofile must be remote. The .B \-l, .B \-p, .B \-f, .B \-q, and .B \-n behave exactly as in .IR net (\*s). .PP .I Fromfile and .I tofile follow these conventions: .TP 4 1. A simple filename is assumed to be local and from the current directory. .TP 4 2. A filename preceded by a machine designator (see below) is a reference to a file on the specified remote machine. If a full pathname is not given, it is assumed to be from the login directory. .PP Examples: .IP " grades.p" 20 file in the current directory on local machine .IP " C:junk" 20 file in your login directory on C .IP " /usr/lib/pq" 20 file on local machine .IP " C:comp/c2.c" 20 file in a subdirectory on C machine .PP When files are being ``fetched'', that is, the .I fromfile is remote and the .I tofile is local, the .I tofile is created zero-length mode 600. For security reasons, when the ``fetched'' file's contents arrive at the local machine, the file must still be zero-length and mode 0600. No confirmation is sent to the user that the file has been ``fetched''; a non-zero file length indicates completion. .PP .I Netcp executes the .IR net (\*s) command. .SH "SEE ALSO" net(\*s), netrm(\*s), netq(\*s), netlog(\*s), netlpr(\*s), netmail(\*s), netlogin(\*s), cp(\*o), mail(\*o) .SH AUTHOR Eric Schmidt .SH BUGS The second filename may not be defaulted to a directory name as in .IR cp (\*o), it must be given explicitly. .br The file mode may or may not be set correctly.
