52 | .Nm Rcp | |
3b46468b | 53 | copies files between machines. Each |

3b46468b | 55 | or |
b5dc1377 | 56 | .Ar directory |
3b46468b | 57 | argument is either a remote file name of the |
2d1955f2 | 58 | form ``rname@rhost:path'', or a local file name (containing no `:' characters, |
c33a908d | 59 | or a `/' before any `:'s). |

75 | By default, the mode and owner of | |

78 | modified by the | |
