On another thread I complained about a 2501 with IOS 12.3(24) that won't permit me to make the IOS image available for tftp transfers. While that issue awaits resolution (or surrender), I am trying to transfer via rcp; which is brand new to me. First I familiarized myself with rsh and finally got it working, with Router-E (8MB Flash, IOS 12.0) as the server and Router-A (16MB Flash, IOS 12.2) the client[IOS 12.2 image already backed up in multiple locations]. Then I tried copying with the copy rcp flash command on Router A, and it was a dud.
<br />
<br />Here's the config of Router-E:

<br />
<br />The image filename on E is "c2500-i-l.120-8.bin"
<br />
<br />so I try copy rcp flash and I get this:
<br />
<br />=====================================
<br />Router-A#copy rcp flash
<br /> **** NOTICE ****
<br />Flash load helper v1.0
<br />This process will accept the copy options and then terminate
<br />the current system image to use the ROM based image for the copy.
<br />Routing functionality will not be available during that time.
<br />If you are logged in via telnet, this connection will terminate.
<br />Users with console access can see the results of the copy operation.
