AIX authenticated remote commands

The AIX authenticated remote commands that you can use for remote management are the following:

rsh

This command executes the specified command at the remote host or logs into the remote host.

rcp

This command transfers files between a local and a remote host or between two remote hosts.

telnet

This command connects the local host with a remote host, using the Telnet interface.

ftp

This command transfers files between a local and a remote host.

rlogin

This command logs into a specified remote host and connects your local terminal to the remote host

All of these commands support both the DCE and standard AIX authentication methods. In addition, the rsh and rcp remote commands also support the SP Kerberos V4 authentication method.

The rcmdtgt command is provided for applications requiring Kerberos V4 root credentials.
