HP-UX Internet Services Administrator's Guide (May 2010)

The tftp Service
The tftp (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) service, used with bootp to enable some
diskless systems (such as the HP 700/X terminal), transfers files containing bootstrap
code, fonts, or other configuration information. You must invoke the tftpd server via
inetd. Type man 1 tftp or man 1M tftpd at the HP-UX prompt for more
information.
The telnet Command
The telnet command allows you to log on to a remote host that supports Internet
Services. Type man 1 telnet or man 1M telnetd at the HP-UX prompt for more
information.
R-Commands
You can access any remote machine by using the following commands:
• rexec You can connect to a remote UNIX host on the network and execute specific
commands using rexec. It uses a library routine and the rexecd daemon for this
task. Type man 3N rexec or man 1M rexecd at the HP-UX prompt for more
information.
• rcp You can copy files, directory subtrees or a combination of files and directory
subtrees between UNIX hosts using rcp. Type man 1 rcp at the HP-UX prompt for
more information.
• rlogin You can log on from one UNIX system to another network using rlogin.
Type man 1 rlogin or man 1M rlogind at the HP-UX prompt for more
information.
• remsh
remsh works in the same way as rexec, except that it executes commands from
a remote shell. Type man 1 remsh or man 1M remshd at the HP-UX prompt
for more information.
• ruptime You can obtain information about specified UNIX nodes running the
rwhod daemon by running the ruptime command. It is not supported over X.25
networks or over networks using the PPL (SLIP) product. Type man 1 ruptime
or man 1M rwhod at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
• rwho
You can obtain information about specified users logged in on local hosts on the
network running the rwhod daemon by running the rwho command. rwho is not
supported over X.25 networks or over networks using the PPL (SLIP) product.
Type man 1 rwho or man 1M rwhod at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
• rdistd You can distribute and maintain identical copies of files across multiple
hosts on the network by running the rdist command. Type man 1 rdist at
the HP-UX prompt for more information.
