Without seeing what the error is, we can only guess. Mine would be that the r-services are disabled on the HP-UX server. These are not secure protocols and most shops disable them. Use sftp or scp instead.

What error is it showing?

>>I checked in the linux box scp is there..

OK. So what do you want to use? Do you want rcp or scp?

The syntax for scp is:

scp destination:/dir/filename

'man scp' will tell give you lots of information.

Be aware that SCP will only work if SSH is running on the HP-UX server.

Hi
the error is not able to login..

note that "scp" is *not* "rcp"

possible solutions,

1) enable "rcp" on linux, if available (not recommended)
2) "scp" from hpux to linux box
3) ftp the file...although you may need to use "sftp", as with #1, they aren't the same
4) export the filesystem on Linux, mount on HPUX and copy the file, then unmount

there are probably others, some of which may be easier.

On the HP-UX system, ...

man rcp

"rcp does not prompt for passwords. [...]"

man remsh

> it showing error.

But you were _hiding_ it, suggesting that you
weren't really serious about getting a useful
answer. As usual, showing actual commands
and their actual output can be more useful
than vague descriptions.
