+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rcp
+.Nd remote file copy
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl 46p
+.Ar file1 file2
+.Nm
+.Op Fl 46pr
+.Ar
+.Ar directory
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility copies files between machines.
+Each
+.Ar file
+or
+.Ar directory
+argument is either a remote file name of the
+form
+.Dq ruser@rhost:path ,
+or a local file name (containing no
+.Ql :\&
+characters,
+or a
+.Ql /
+before any
+.Ql :\& Ns
+s).
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl 4
+Use IPv4 addresses only.
+.It Fl 6
+Use IPv6 addresses only.
+.It Fl p
+Cause
+.Nm
+to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification
+times and modes of the source files, ignoring the
+.Xr umask 2 .
+By default, the mode and owner of
+.Ar file2
+are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file
+modified by the
+.Xr umask 2
+on the destination host is used.
+.It Fl r
+If any of the source files are directories,
+.Nm
+copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case
+the destination must be a directory.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar path
+is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to
+the login directory of the specified user
+.Ar ruser
+on
+.Ar rhost ,
+or your current user name if no other remote user name is specified.
+A
+.Ar path
+on a remote host may be quoted (using
+.Ql \e ,
+.Ql \&" ,
+or
+.Ql \(aa )
+so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility does not prompt for passwords; it performs remote execution
+via
+.Xr rsh 1 ,
+and requires the same authorization.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+utility handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files
+are on the current machine.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr cp 1 ,
+.Xr ftp 1 ,
+.Xr rlogin 1 ,
+.Xr rsh 1 ,
+.Xr hosts.equiv 5
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+The version of
+.Nm
+described here
+has been reimplemented with Kerberos in
+.Bx 4.3 Reno .
+.Sh BUGS
+Does not detect all cases where the target of a copy might
+be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
+.Pp
+Is confused by any output generated by commands in a
+.Pa .login ,
+.Pa .profile ,
+or
+.Pa .cshrc
+file on the remote host.
+.Pp
+The destination user and hostname may have to be specified as
+.Dq rhost.ruser
+when the destination machine is running the
+.Bx 4.2
+version of
+.Nm .
