Error while doing rcp to localhost
Hi,
Rcping a file to localhost fails due to echo statement in .login file on a machine with RH 5.5
However, the same rcp is successful on another machine with Suse 9.2 (with the same .login). I cannot change .login file and was wondering at what could be causing this ?
Command that I am using:
rcp filename localhost:/tmp
Can anyone please help with this?

RCP(1) BSD General Commands Manual RCP(1)
NAME
rcp -- copy file to and from remote machines
SYNOPSIS
rcp [-45FKpxz] [-P port] file1 file2
rcp [-45FKprxz] [-P port] file... directory
DESCRIPTION
rcp copies files between machines. Each file argument is either a remote file name of the form ``rname@rhost:path'' or a local file (contain-
ing no colon or with a slash before the first colon).
Supported options:
-4, -5, -K, -F, -x, -z
These options are passed on to rsh(1).
-P port
This will pass the option -p port to rsh(1).
-p Preserve file permissions.
-r Copy source directories recursively.
DIAGNOSTICS
rcp is implemented as a protocol on top of rsh(1), and thus requires a working rsh. If you intend to use Kerberos authentication, rsh needs
to be Kerberos aware, else you may see more or less strange errors, such as "login incorrect", or "lost connection".
HISTORY
The rcp utility first appeared in 4.2BSD. This version is derived from 4.3BSD-Reno.
