or

rcp [-pr][Source file or directory...][Target file]

Parameters:

-p Retain the attributes of the source file or directory, including owner, group, permissions, and time.

Online Examples

Use the rcp command to copy the remote file to the local for saving.

Assuming the current local host account is rootlocal and the remote host account is root, to copy the remote host (218.6.132.5If you want to copy the file "testfile" under the main directory to the local directory "test", enter the following command:

rcp [email protected]:./testfile testfile  # Copy the remote file to the local  
rcp [email protected]:home/rootlocal/testfile testfile  
# It is required that the current logged-in account cmd log in to the remote host  
rcp 218.6.132.5:./testfile testfile

Note: After executing the command "rcp", there will be no return information. You only need to check if the file "testfile" exists in the directory "test". If it exists, it means that the remote copy operation was successful; otherwise, the remote copy operation failed.
