Re: Defference between rcp and ftp
The data stream in both cases is not encrypted.
The authentication of ftp is is clear text.
Which means the password of the user being used is being transmitted in the clear for all to see with the most simple of network sniffers.
rcp has most of the same problems as ftp.
So, as explanation for Dennis post, my answer is you should use neither.
You should install the HP Secure Shell package, which is HP's openssh port, available at http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA
And you should set up password free authentication:

Neither is as fast as rcp or ftp.
But having a secure authentication AND data stream is going to make you look good on your next security audit.
