i am sorry i couldn't understand how the local copy can be done ? i'm also not familiar with daemon and how to make sure if it is going to receive rcp or not
A "daemon" in Unix is generally just a background job, usually one which is relevant for the system. Read more in wikipedia about it.
What DGPickett tried to tell was: r-commands transfer files without any encryption, therefore everybody listening on the "same wire" (=every network card in the same subnet) could read them too as they are transferred. They also handle their communication, even up to passwords, unencrypted. This is why most have shifted from r-commands to other means of achieving the same but with encryption of the transported data. This in most cases is "ssh" to replace any remote connection (telnet, rsh, remsh, rlogin, ....) and either "sftp" or "scp" to replace file transfer (ftp, rcp, ...).
When you install "scp", the basic command to transfer a file would be:
which reads "sourcefile" as userA at hostA and then transfers it to hostB, where it attempts to write it as "target" using user-ID "userB". DGPickett suggests (and rightly so) that, when you install this, you start with transferring a file locally:
Where "hostA" is a short hostname first, then a long hostname:
This makes sure name resolution is working correctly, at least for this host. Only then attempt to transfer the file to a remote destination.
