VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, Product Overview
    The product consists of a number of components that implement
    various TCP/IP protocols. These components provide remote
    computing, file transfer, resource sharing, electronic mail,
    and network services as follows:
                             Remote Computing

    FINGER     Display information about users logged in to a remote

               supplied by RCP.

    RLOGIN     Connect to a remote host, which starts an interactive
               login session. Requests are authenticated on the
               remote host using the user name supplied by RLOGIN.

    RMT/RCD    Access magnetic tape and CD drives on a remote host as
               though they are available locally.

    RSH        Connect to a remote host, which executes the command
               you specify. Requests are authenticated on the remote
               host using the user name supplied to RSH.

    RSH/PASSWORUse the REXEC facility to connect to the remote host,
               which executes the command you specify. Requests are
               authenticated on the remote host using the user name
               and password supplied by RSH.

    RMT/RCD    Access magnetic tape and CD drives on a remote host as
               though they are available locally.

    TELNET     Log in to a remote host in a network using various
               options to customize the session, control output

               differences. To start a TELNET session, enter the
               following command:
