It appears that some utilities like tar do not understand remote addresses
like rcp etc, which I assumed it would. I got quite a few different
suggestions, but the one that I think is probably the best is to use GNU
tar which will understand remote device names.
If anyone would like a list of other suggestions that I received please
email me, and I'll forward copies.
Thanks to the following people for their suggestions.

Hi There,
This is probably going to be pretty basic, but I am having problems trying
to do a tar from machine1 to a file on machine2 without success, what am I
missing?
The command I am using is
tar cvf machine2:/filename /filename_on_machine1
Whenever I execute this I get the message
tar: cannot open machine2:/filename
I have machine2 listed in /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.equiv and /.rhosts
Machine1 is a HPUX 9.04 and machine2 is DU3.2g
If anyone has any suggestions please email me.
TIA
Glenn.
