Copying Files To and From Remote Machines

You can copy files using the RCP via RSH tab or the RCP via REXEC tab:

Run RCP via RSH to copy files from a remote machine using your user name and password.
Run RCP via REXEC to copy files from a remote machine using a user name and a password other than your registered values.

Warning!

When you copy a file from the remote server to the local PC, if the file already exists on the local PC, the software prompts you to confirm that you want to overwrite the file. If you confirm, and an error occurs during copying, the local file is deleted. Rename the file before copying to avoid losing data.

To use RCP via RSH and RCP via REXEC:

In the Remote Tools dialog box, click the RCP via RSH tab or the RCP via REXEC tab.
In the Remote Host box, type the name or IP address of the remote host to which you want to connect. You can select a previous host from the drop-down list.
If you are running RCP via RSH, type the user name of your server account in the Remote User box and your local user name in the Local User box.

: OR

: If you are running the RCP via REXEC, type the user name of your server account and the password in the respective boxes.
