rcp HP-Ux to WinXP

[Bill Brutzman]

We want to copy files.

Although rcp works between our three HP-Ux boxes, the XP command...

c:\> rcp ford:/test.file c:\

comes back with...

ford: remshd: Login incorrect
rsh: can't establish connection

On the remote HP-Ux host "ford", we now have..

(file) (contains)

/home/bob/.rhosts chevy bob
/etc/hosts.equiv chevy bob

On the XP PC "chevy"

/etc/hosts.equiv ford bob

Microsoft's "Services for UNIX 3.5" is installed on the XP box.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

try

rcp fort.root:/test.file c:\

and you really should be using the -b option!!

rcp -b fort.root:/test.file c:\

instead of root, you can use some other user that has .rhosts set up correctly!

Or yet another way would be to setup a samba share on HPUX - then from XP, just copy from that share to the C:\ drive

Consider openssh for windows instead.

No reason to open up another security hole in Windows.

Secure shell for HP-UX is free. http://www.networksimplicy.com has a free product for windows as well.

I have some other way:
USE ssh:

use ftp
use ftp command or ftp client.
use samba

Bill,

I use rcp from my xp box to my ux boxes all the time and it works quite well. The issue is that rcp on windows is NOT LIKE rcp on ux's.

Windows uses a format like this:

rcp -b srcHOST.userNAME:/path/file destHOST.userNAME:/path/file

on your xp box open a command window (start->run->cmd)
then at a prompt enter rcp -help
