in reply to Failure with rcp

i've experience similar problems from the shell if the filename isn't specified.

try  system( "rcp $file $host:/tmp/$file" ) and see if that helps.

    thanks... this doesn't seem to be the problem... everything works great from the command line (ie: parent process)... it's only when the rcp is called from the perl script that it's not working... even if the rcp is in a ksh script called by the perl script... magnus
