Tools Can you use scp instead of rcp?

run "man test" to see what test flags you can use in your shell, -e may do what you want. Googling for "ksh test flags" may be quicker. Smilie

I use ssh for everyday administration tasks the syntax may be similar to rcp, I think I'm in the Bourne shell when I ssh in.

Code:
ssh user@server.domain.com 'hostname; if [ -f /tmp/file.dat ]; then echo "File Found"; else echo "File Not Found"; fi > /tmp/table.log'
