Subject: Re: file: access does not use RCP?

Good idea -- I guess RCP would be faster, though I don't
know the protocol. The client code would have to keep a
list of hosts for which it had succeded with one or other method,
to save time always trying rcp first on distant sites.

Something for the agenda...
Where is the rcp protocol defined?
