     rrccpp - remote file copy

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     RRccpp copies files between machines.  Each _f_i_l_e or _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y argument is
     either a remote file name of the form ``rname@rhost:path'', or a local
     file name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).

     --KK    The --KK option turns off all Kerberos authentication.

     --kk    The --kk option requests rrccpp to obtain tickets for the remote host in
           realm _r_e_a_l_m instead of the remote host's realm as determined by
           krb_realmofhost(3).

     --pp    The --pp option causes rrccpp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its
           copies the modification times and modes of the source files, ignor-
           ing the _u_m_a_s_k. By default, the mode and owner of _f_i_l_e_2 are pre-
           served if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
           modified by the umask(2) on the destination host is used.

     --rr    If any of the source files are directories, rrccpp copies each subtree
           rooted at that name; in this case the destination must be a direc-
           tory.

     --xx    The --xx option turns on DES encryption for all data passed by rrccpp.
           This may impact response time and CPU utilization, but provides in-
           creased security.

     If _p_a_t_h is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to the login
     directory of the specified user _r_u_s_e_r on _r_h_o_s_t, or your current user name
     if no other remote user name is specified.  A _p_a_t_h on a remote host may
     be quoted (using \, ", or ') so that the metacharacters are interpreted
     remotely.

     RRccpp does not prompt for passwords; it performs remote execution via
     rsh(1),  and requires the same authorization.

     RRccpp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are
     on the current machine.

HHIISSTTOORRYY
     The rrccpp command appeared in 4.2BSD. The version of rrccpp described here has
     been reimplemented with Kerberos in 4.3BSD-Reno.

BBUUGGSS
     Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in
     cases where only a directory should be legal.

     Is confused by any output generated by commands in a _._l_o_g_i_n, _._p_r_o_f_i_l_e, or
     _._c_s_h_r_c file on the remote host.

     The destination user and hostname may have to be specified as
     ``rhost.rname'' when the destination machine is running the 4.2BSD ver-
     sion of rrccpp.
