RCP help

[marc_118]

Please help. One of our systems is not on the network but has a digi port connected to it
10.20.3.46 2001

I can telnet using the ip but I can not rcp a file to the system as it seems to only work up until the space. I have names the IP in the hosts file and every where needed but it wont connect using rcp. We can not use ftp on the server as its hp to sco.

Can someone please help

Hi Marc.

1. Check you can ping the sco server or where you want to do the ftp or rcp.
2. chech ftp is enable in both the server.
# cat /etc/inted.conf | grep -i ftp
IT should not be commented.
# cat /etc/services | grep -i ftp

3. for rcp .rhosts permission needs to be check, and also /etc/hosts.equiv for trusting.

Hope this will help ,

hth,
Raj.

I'm a little confused by "cannot use ftp on the server as its hp to sco".

I've done this many times in the past

The problem is we are connecting to our store systems as the version of sco does not have ftp.

I am only able to ping the digi port 10.20.3.46 but not 10.20.3.46 2001

Hi,

It maybe possible the port 514 is not opened at the SCO server side. This port is used by rsh and rcp.

Moreover you need to make the trusting using .rhosts file at SCO server end as well.
Ask the SCO guy to enable the port and trusting.

Port 2001 must an application port opened at that IP address. You can not ping the port using ping command.
