[svlug] Can't rcp between machines

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I used both Alan and Daniel's responses to solve 
the problem.

I used scp and dropped the '/*' and all went well.

I rcp got a refused connection and I assume this 
is because rcp uses telnet and scp uses sshd? 
Anyway, all is working and the files are being moved.

Thanks!
Skip
