RCP Class
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The RCP class implements the popular UNIX Remote Copy Protocol, used to transfer files between systems.
Syntax
RCP
Remarks
Using the class 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 class allows you to choose which protocol to use via the Protocol property.
