{{code|rcp}} can copy a file or directory from the local system to a remote system, from a remote system to the local system, or from one remote system to another.<ref name="Farrell">{{cite web |url=https://earthsci.stanford.edu/computing/unix/netcommands/rcp.php |title=rcp |last=Farrell |first=Phillip |date=3 August 2004 |website=earthsci.stanford.edu |publisher=Stanford University School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences |access-date=2018-03-06 |archive-date=2021-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210207204751/https://earthsci.stanford.edu/computing/unix/netcommands/rcp.php |url-status=dead }}</ref> The command line [[Parameter (computer programming)|arguments]] of {{code|cp}} and {{code|rcp}} are similar, but in {{code|rcp}} remote files are prefixed with the name of the remote system:

 rcp file.txt subdomain.domain:~/home/foo/file.txt

As with the Unix copy command [[cp (Unix)|cp]], {{code|rcp}} overwrites an existing file of the same name in the target; unlike {{code|cp}}, it provides no mechanism for warning the user before overwriting the target file.<ref name="Farrell"/> Like {{code|rsh}}, {{code|rcp}} uses TCP port 514.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sourcedaddy.com/networking/rlogin-rsh-and-rcp.html |title=Rlogin, RSH, and RCP |website=SourceDaddy |access-date=2018-02-18}}</ref>
