Hi, I want to tranfer a file from solaris 9 to solaris 10. Both are separate machine. Rlogin,rsh are working fine but rcp not working and connection refused eroor received. I checked the svcs service list, In that there is no service for rcp. Coould you any one suggest what is the wrong and how to solve this ? Your suggestion is more appreciable rgds Sharmila

If small then consider tftp. It should be open. rsh/rlogin/rcp mapping Solaris 10 no longer maps the original remote shell commands ("rsh" for "remote shell", "rlogin" for "remote login" and "rcp" for "remote file copy") to their secure counterparts ("ssh", "slogin" and "scp"). Secure shell has long since replaced the original remote shell at ECN for all remote command processing. On Solaris 8 and Solaris 9, ECN mapped the commands rsh/rlogin/rcp to the secure versions for convenience to those new to the secure shell service. For Solaris 10, using "rsh" will really give you the "rsh" command. Be sure to adjust by using the "ssh" command. (Plus the same for the "slogin" and "scp" commands). Copying Files Remotely (rcp) The rcp command enables you to copy files from one machine to another. This command uses the remote machine's /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/passwd files to determine whether you have unchallenged access privileges. The syntax for rcp is similar to the command syntax for cp. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
