You probably have a stty or an other command which assumes you're running on a
tty in your shell init file. Though rsh/rcp do not perform a login, they run
the non-interactive init files (.bashrc, .cshrc...).
The best is to enclose these tty-specific commands with a
if [ "$PROMPT" != "" ]
PROMPT (or prompt for csh) are empty when running non-interactive.
Then you shouldn't get anymore "is not a tty" message, and rcp should work...
Tricky eh ?
