copying a file from unix to pc by 'rcp'

[tg2003]

hello everybody,

I try to take a file from unix into my PC, by using rcp command.
I have root access on the unix, and I have "+" in the .rhosts . ( I have no /etc/hosts.equiv)
what is the syntax for doing that?

if it's not impossible, how can I put the file into the PC machine (from the unix) by using rcp?
thanx!

Hi,

First of all, is your pc running UNIX as well?

Lots of way to transfer file, you can use ftp if you want. Since you want to use rcp, you can just "rcp filename pc_name:/location". If you dont set anything in those files (hosts.equiv or .rhosts), you will get password prompt. You only use hosts.equiv file if you really trust the host and dont want to use any password.

Samba works quite well for transferring files from *nix to pc's.
So does a floppy diskette ("sneakernet&quot.
