    The RCP (Remote Copy) command copies a file between your local
    host and a remote internet host. You can also use RCP to copy a
    file between two remote internet hosts. You specify the source
    and destination file names, each in the format appropriate for
    the source or destination system. For copying files from one
    remote host to another, the following rules apply:

    o  If you do not have proxy login accounts (or authentication
       file entries) for both the source and remote hosts, you
       must have the same user name and password on both source
       and destination hosts. Use the /PASSWORD qualifier and,
       if necessary, the /USER_NAME qualifier, to specify the
       authentication information for the remote hosts.

    o  If you have a proxy login account (or authentication file
       entry) on one of the remote hosts only, use the /PASSWORD
       qualifier and, if necessary, the /USER_NAME qualifier to
       specify the authentication information for the other host.

    To recursively copy every file and subdirectory in a directory,
    use the /RECURSIVE qualifier with the RCP command.

    To preserve file format and other attributes when copying files
    between two OpenVMS systems, use the /VMS qualifier (UNIX format:
    -v option). For more information, see File_Formats.

    You can also use the COPY/RCP command to copy files across
    the network. For more information on this command, enter HELP
    COPY/RCP at the DCL prompt.

    Note that you can also use FTP to transfer files.
