[comp.protocols.appletalk] NCSA Telnet rcp capability on a Mac

frankh@durin.sparta.COM (Frank Halsema) (02/13/90)

I have NCSA Telnet version 2.3 and it is working fine. I recently was looking
through the source and saw code for rcp. The code is wraped by ifdefs for
the PC. I have a need for and rcp type transfer to the Macs and am interested
in a version to support this. Is one available? If not does anyone know the
issues in porting the existing rcp code to a Mac.

Frank,

When we originally moved bkgr.c to the Macintosh, we had a number of problems
with the RCP code.  I didn't have time to mess with it then, and I don't
know of anyone who has bothered with it since.  The primary problem is dealing
with -r stuff which is why most people want RCP.  This code will have to
be written to deal with HFS correctly.  Other than that, I would suggest
calling the MacBinary routines that are called by the ftpd() instead of the
C routines for file i/o.


Best of luck!
