NETCP(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             NETCP(1)

NAME
     netcp - remote copy of files through the net

SYNOPSIS
     netcp [ -l login ] [ -p password ] [ -f ] [ -n ] fromfile
     tofile

DESCRIPTION
     _N_e_t_c_p copies files between machines and is similar to _c_p(1).
     At least one of _f_r_o_m_f_i_l_e and _t_o_f_i_l_e must be remote; the -l
     and -p options specify the login name and password for that
     remote machine.  If these options are not specified, the
     name and password are prompted for on the terminal.  The -f
     option forces prompting for the login name and password; the
     -n option prevents confirmation or error messages from being
     returned.

     _F_r_o_m_f_i_l_e and _t_o_f_i_l_e follow these conventions:

     1.  A simple filename is assumed to be local and from the
         current directory.

     2.  A filename preceded by a machine designator (see below)
         is a reference to a file on the specified remote
         machine.  If a full pathname is not given, it is assumed
         to be from the login directory.

     Examples:

         grades.p        file in the current directory on local
                         machine

         C:junk          file in your login directory on C

         /usr/lib/pq     file on local machine

         C:comp/c2.c     file in a subdirectory on C machine

     _N_e_t_c_p executes the _n_e_t(1) command.

BUGS
     The second filename may not be defaulted to a directory
     name, it must be given explicitly.
     The file mode may or may not be set correctly.
