Okay, I must be the dumbest man alive becuase I cannot get rcp to work. I have two machines that are 486's and have only a power cord and ethernet cable attached to them. The only way to administer is via telnet. Telnet is not secure so I wish to use ssh. I have the ssh rpm downloaded on another Linux box and I want to transfer it to these two machines. I have been trying (for the better part of 2 hours now) to use either uucp or rcp in order to transmit. However, every time I run the command: [ras@mailsrv /home/ras]# rcp ssh-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm ns1:/home/ras/ssh-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm I get a Permission Denied error. If I try: [ras@mailsrv /home/ras]# rcp mailsrv:/home/ras/ssh-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm ns1:/home/ras/ssh-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm I get a Connection Refused error. Both directories (/home/ras) have been chmod'ed to 777 now and I read somewhere about a .rhosts file that needs to be in each directory and each has one of those that looks like this: # Remote Hosts mailsrv.image-src.com ns1.image-src.com And these .rhosts files are chmod'ed to 777 as well. What the hell am I doing wrong? I've tried allowing rlogin's and first rlogin and then rcp but nothing. I tried uucp but it tells me "event not found." I'm lost...PLEASE HELP!
