           rcp - remote file copy

           _R_c_p 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
           ``rhost:path'', or a local file name (containing no `:'
           characters, or a `/' before any `:'s.)

           If the ----rrrr is specified and any of the source files are
           directories, _r_c_p copies each subtree rooted at that name.
           In this case, the destination must be a directory.

           If _p_a_t_h is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative
           to your login directory on _r_h_o_s_t.  A _p_a_t_h on a remote host
           may be quoted (using \, ", or ') so that the metacharacters
           are interpreted remotely.

           _R_c_p does not prompt for passwords; your current local user
           name must exist on _r_h_o_s_t and allow remote command execution
           via _r_s_h(1).

           _R_c_p handles third party copies, where neither source nor
           target files are on the current machine.  Hostnames may also
           take the form ``rhost.rname'' to use _r_n_a_m_e rather than the
           current user name on the remote host.

           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.

           If the source and destination directories are local, _r_c_p
           calls _c_p(1) to do the local copy.  _c_p(1) does not accept the
           ----rrrr arguement.

           The usage error message is not printed if a typing error was
           made.
