Install package for rcp
 

I use RHEL 3 , but do not have installed the package for rcp , so now can not receive file via rcp , can advise what package that I need to install for using rcp ? Thanks.

RCP is not a secure or encrypted method of transferring files, use "scp" for secure transferring

Thx suggestion , we use for internal server only , the security is not important in my case , and if use scp , we need to do some changes .

If you have ssh capabilities among your severs, i think you can scp too..

/usr/bin/rcp is provided by the package "rsh".

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.9/...6/RedHat/RPMS/
> rsh-0.17-18.el3.i386.rpm

..

I can run rcp , but can not receive file from rcp , do i need to install rsh-server ?

rsh-server-0.17-18.el3.i386.rpm

I have no idea, may be install it, and try.

..

I just installed it and started it , but still not work , is there other package that need to be install ? please advise

The error message is

Trying krb4 rcp...
trying normal rcp (/usr/bin/rcp)
Permission denied.

Hi,

Did you setup hosts.allow, hosts.deny correctly? Try rsh to localhost to see if you get a reply.

Kind regards,
