VMS RCP service

hi, i am configuring R service on one VMS server and try to access it from another vms machine.
I enabled RSH and REXEC of TCP/IP on the server.
And when i access from another machine, RSH works fine but RCP always gets errors.

>rsh 10.40.247.63 /user=abc/pass=support dir
this command gets dir result successfully.

>rcp /user=abc/pass=support x.dat "10.40.247.63":"x.dat"
%RCP-E-REMERR, Remote error received

>rcp /user=abc/pass=support "10.40.247.63":"x.dat" x.dat
%DCL-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling

Is there anything special for RCP configuration?
here i list the RSH service detail
TCPIP> show serv rsh/full

And another question is how configure on the client machine the remoter server ip as a host name? then i can use server name instead of ip addr in the commands.

Not very detailed descriptions of anything.

tcpip show version

Commands like your work for me. Are you
getting any OPCOM messages on the console of
the server system? (Or recorded in
"SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG"?)

Using DNS or the local HOSTS data base? For
the local HOSTS data base:

tcpip help set host

Thanks steven.
I got the answer. Because the VMS client machine used TCPWARE instead of TCPIP. Need add one qualifier /NOVMS in the RCP command.
