I am having two machines running on unix. and if i disable the rshd ( which i suppose inturn disables rcp, rlogin ...) in one of the machines. And now, can i do a rcp from the machine ( where rsh is still running) to the machine where rshd is disabled?

Will there be a failure in rcp ...when trying to copy into a machine where rsh has already been disabled?

Hi muslimak,

Welcome to TSG!

I assume that by now you may have tried a simple experiment to observe what happens. If not, I recommend you try to rcp simple text .txt files between the two machines to find out what happens. Small experimental steps like this to verify your observations are a great way to solidify your learning and how to handle things yourself without relying on anyone else when you don't know the answer.
