RCP
RCP (Remote Copy Protocol) is a UNIX Remote Shell service which allows files to be copied between a server and client. RCP is
an application that operates above the TCP protocols, and uses port number 514 as the TCP destination port.
The RCP application uses client server architecture and the client can be any machine running the RCP client application.
A Switch that supports the RCP client allows users to copy firmware images, configurations and log files between the Switch and
RCP Server.
Switches that do not support a file system should still be able to run an RCP client to copy firmware images, configurations and
logs between the switch and RCP server.

As illustrated in Figure 2 - 49, a user can:
a) Upload a configuration file from the Switch to the RCP Server.
b) Download a firmware file from the RCP Server to the Switch.
c) Upload the Log file from the Switch to the RCP Server.
d) Download the configuration file from the RCP Server to the Switch.
