Manual: The rncp Utility ↗
Similar to rnsh, rncp can operate in two modes:
• listener mode – accepts incoming files and requests for files.
• initiator mode – sends and fetches files.
Both sides authenticate using Reticulum identities, ensuring that only authorized peers can establish sessions. By default, only whitelisted identities may connect to a listener.

Usage
On the remote machine, run in listener mode with rncp --listen --verbose -a <identity> where <identity> is the identity on the machine you want to connect from. You should see rncp listening on <destination> printed to the terminal, showing the destination of the listener.
On the local machine, run in initiator mode with rncp <file> <destination> to copy a file to the remote machine. If the local machine has the specified <identity>, the files should be copied successfully. Similarly, run rncp --fetch <file> <destination> to fetch a file from the remote machine.
