rcp command? TERM environment variable not set
Hi!! ,
I'm aware of remote copy command .I have two servers OS Linux 8.0. I have done the relevent enteries into .rhosts file of my user as well as in /etc/host.equiv .
When my entries were not appropriate it gives the error "permission denied" but after done appropriate entries now it gives the error .
(TERM env is not set).
I'm working through PC and set the terminator like
export TERM=xterm
I also tried export TERM=ansi,TERM=vt100
export DISPLAY=<computer name>:0
BUT I'm geting same ERR
"TERM environment variable not set."
Am I doing some basic mistake?
Thanks,
sm

rcp and other rsh clients do an implicit login. They do not have a terminal, and WILL misbehave if the startup scripts for sh, csh, or bash (whichever one you use) try to output to the console.
To fix this problem, you must clean up your .profile, .bashrc etc to remove any garbage being output in a non-interactive login.
For example:
If you use bash then PS1 is set if the shell is interactive so you should enclose any console output inside a condition statement like:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
....
console put statements
fi

I'm using " .bashrc" , ".bash" is a shell ,moreover I also looked what it is etting by typing "env"
Set the TERM/DISPLAY in the .bashrc of your account on the remote machine ( if it isn't a common mounted file system).
If you are setting the DISPLAY environment variable, ensure that you do an xhost + or xhost + <remote machine> on your local machine.
