RCP Control

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors

The RCP component implements the popular UNIX Remote Copy Protocol, used to transfer files between systems.

Syntax

RCP

Remarks

Using the control is as simple as specifying a LocalFile, a RemoteFile and RemoteHost, and calling the GetFile or the PutFile method.

The Remote Copy Protocol is implemented over either RSHELL or REXEC. The control allows you to choose which protocol to use via the Protocol property.
