Name
       cp - copy file data

Syntax
       cp [ -f ] [ -i ] [ -p ] file1 file2

       cp [ -f ] [ -i ] [ -p ] [ -r ] file... directory

       cp [ -f ] [ -i ] [ -p ] [ -r ] directory... directory

Description
       The command copies file1 onto file2.  The mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; the mode of file1 is used otherwise.
       Note that the command will not copy a file onto itself.

       In the second form, one or more files are copied into the directory with their original file names.

       In the third form, one or more source directories are copied into the destination directory with their original file names.

Options
       -f   Forces existing destination pathnames to be removed before copying, without prompting for confirmation.  The -i option is  ignored	if
	    the -f option is specified.

       -i   Prompts  user  with  the name of file whenever the copy will cause an old file to be overwritten. A yes answer will cause to continue.
	    Any other answer will prevent it from overwriting the file.

       -p   Preserves (duplicates) in the copies the modification time, access time, file mode, user ID, and group ID as allowed  by  the  permis-
	    sions of the source files, ignoring the present umask.

       -r   Copies  directories.  Entire directory trees, including their subtrees and the individual files they contain, are copied to the speci-
	    fied destination directory. The directory, its subtrees, and the individual files retain their original names. For	example,  to  copy
	    the directory including all of its subtrees and files, into the directory enter the following command:
	    cp -r reports news

NAME

       rcp - remote file copy

SYNOPSIS

       rcp [-p] file1 file2
       rcp [-pr] file ...  directory

DESCRIPTION

       Rcp  copies  files  between  machines.  Each file or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form ``rhost:path'', or a local
       file name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).

       If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in  this  case  the
       destination must be a directory.

       By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modified by the umask(2)
       on the destination host is used.  The -p option causes rcp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its  copies  the  modification	times  and
       modes of the source files, ignoring the umask.

       If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to your login directory on rhost.  A path on a remote host may be quoted (using
       , ", or ') so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.

       Rcp does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name must exist on rhost and allow remote command execution via rsh(1).

       Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the  current  machine.   Hostnames	may  also  take  the  form
       ``rname@rhost''	to  use  rname	rather	than  the  current  user name on the remote host.  The destination hostname may also take the form
       ``rhost.rname'' to support destination machines that are running 4.2BSD versions of rcp.

BUGS

       Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
       Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .profile, or .*shrc file on the remote host.
