Kunemiyalo eminingi ye-Linux ongayisebenzisa ukukopisha amafayela kusuka kwikhompyutha eyodwa kuya kwenye. Umyalo we- rcp (" r emote c o p y") uhloselwe ukusebenza njenge- cp (" c o p y") umyalo, ngaphandle kwalokho okukuvumela ukuba ukopishe amafayela kanye nezinkomba phezu kwenethiwekhi ukuya nakwamakhompyutha akude.
Lokhu kuhle futhi kulula, kodwa ukuze kusebenze udinga ukusetha kuqala amakhompiyutha abandakanyekile ekuthengiseni ukuvumela lokhu kusebenza. Lokhu kwenziwa ngokusebenzisa amafayela ".rhosts". Bheka lapha ukuthola olunye ulwazi.
Inguqulo evikelekile kakhulu ye- rcp i-scp (" s ecure c o p y"). Isekelwe kwi- ssh (" s ecure sh ell") protocol, esebenzisa ukubethela.
Inzuzo eyinhloko yohlelo lweklayenti lwe- ftp ukuthi liza nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezisetshenziswa kakhulu, kuhlanganise nokusabalalisa okuningi kweLinux ngisho ne-Microsoft Windows, futhi akudingi amafayela ".rhosts". Ungakwazi ukukopisha amafayela amaningi nge- ftp , kodwa amakhasimende ayisisekelo we- ftp awakudlulisi izihlahla zomhlahlandlela wonke.
