My login name on both machines is drears and I have .rhosts configured properly to rlogin/rsh between machines. I am trying to run the following command on the VAX: tar -cf - .|rsh drun tar xf - I get the error message back: stty: operation not support on socket Any ideas on how to accomplish this in a one step command? "rcp -r" won't work either. Dennis
