VMS Help  —  RCP  Qualifiers

1    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG

    Optional. Default: no logging.

    Displays information about files as they are copied to or from
    the local system.

2    /PASSWORD

       /PASSWORD=password

    Required if /USER_NAME qualifier is used.

    Password on the source or destination host system (whichever
    requires authentication).

3    /PRESERVE

       /PRESERVE
       /NOPRESERVE

    Optional.

    Preserves the file protection mode and modification date during a
    copy. The creation date and modification date of the output file
    are set to the modification date of the input file. The dates
    are truncated to the second on transfer. When these dates are
    displayed on OpenVMS, the "hundredths of a second" field will
    always be zero.

    When a file is created by RCP/PRESERVE on an OpenVMS system
    running TCP/IP Services, WRITE permission on the input file
    grants both WRITE and DELETE permission on the output file.

4    /RECURSIVE

       /RECURSIVE
       /NORECURSIVE

    Optional.

    Recursively copies each subtree rooted at the directory you
    specify in the UNIX file specification. For OpenVMS hosts,
    specify [directory...] (with three trailing periods) in the file
    specification instead of using this qualifier.

5    /TRUNCATE_USER_NAME

       /TRUNCATE_USER_NAME[=n]
       /NOTRUNCATE_USER_NAME

    Optional. Default: no truncation.

    Truncates the user name to the specified number of characters. If
    you omit n, the default is 8 characters.

6    /USER_NAME

       /USER_NAME=remote_user_name

    Optional. Default: current name on local host in lowercase.

    Specify user name on the source or destination remote host.
    Use only if an entry allowing access to this user has not been
    added to the remote host's authentication files. You must also
    specify the /PASSWORD qualifier with the /USER_NAME qualifier.
    Specifying "username@" with the source or destination parameter
    is the equivalent UNIX style method.
