There are also several methods for copying over the
network. For instance...
rcp -pr local_dir remote_machine:remote_dir

If you can NFS mount the remote machine's top level
directory (the one you want to copy to), then you can use
plain old cp -r or even cpio -p

Just to name a few Smilie

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. HEIMDAL
