TL;DR

rcp

Copy files between local and remote systems. It mimics the behavior of the cp command but operates across different machines. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/html_node/rcp-invocation.html.

  • Copy a file to a remote host:

rcp path/to/local_file username@remote_host:/path/to/destination/

  • Copy a directory recursively:

rcp -r path/to/local_directory username@remote_host:/path/to/destination/

  • Preserve the file attributes:

rcp -p path/to/local_file username@remote_host:/path/to/destination/

  • Force copy without a confirmation:

rcp -f path/to/local_file username@remote_host:/path/to/destination/
