Some things to check: - the .rhosts file on Linux must be owned by you or by root and have permissions of 0600.
- did you use a hostname or IP address in .rhosts? It must be a hostname. Also, ping that hostname and make sure it displays the IP address of the cygwin system to be sure it resolves correctly. - passwords being the same does not matter - rcp does not use passwords "mohanlal jangir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I tried to do rcp from cygwin to linux machine but I got following error : > > $ rcp temp.txt 10.10.10.45:/home/mohanlal > 10.10.10.45: Permission denied > > This seems to be user validity issue.
