rcp command

Hi,

Good day to you all. I am trying to use rcp command to transfer some files on the remote machine. I have already setup .rhosts on my server and on the remote machine. When I do rcp I get this error message

rcmd_af: Lost connection

Is anybody familiar with this one? Thanks in advance.


best regards to all,

Sodapop

Is your network reliable?

Are you using a global .rhosts or one specific to each user?

Have you considered using scp?

Network should be ok since I am able to telnet to the other server. am using a global .rhosts. scp is out of the question at this point since the other server does not have ssh on it yet. besides an application will using the rcp command thats why i need to make it work. any ideas? =)

thanks,

The program attempted to read from the socket and failed. This means the socket connection with the remote host was lost.
