Examples of copying files to another host

To copy a file from your current directory to your home directory on a remote host:

   rcp parta pollux:part1

This copies the file parta from your current directory to the file part1 in your home directory on the remote host "pollux".

To copy a file from a subdirectory on the local host to a subdirectory on a remote host:

   rcp Hyperhelp/helpex.hlp ubik:tmp/helpex/hlp

This copies the file helpex.hlp from your subdirectory Hyperhelp to the subdirectory tmp in your home directory on the remote host "ubik".
