NAME
     ncp - copy files over TCP

SYNOPSIS
     ncp host files...

     ncp

DESCRIPTION
     ncp is used to copy files over a network.	It will open a TCP connection to
     the  host given as argument 1 and then call tar to actually copy the files.
     Calling ncp without arguments will invoke server mode, that is, it will sit
     there and wait for a connection from another ncp.

     ncp will tell tar to preserve file ownership and permissions, and tar  will
     automatically copy directory trees recursively.

     ncp will use IPv6 if available.

     ncp uses TCP port 8002 for its connections.

BUGS
     ncp  will	call tar only after it has opened the connection.  If you forgot
     to specify any files or tried to send nonexistant files, tar will spew  out
     error messages.  The peer will see no error messages!

     Not much error detection, error recovery or even decent error messages.

     npush(1), npoll(1)
