rcp has been deprecated and not installed by default for some time. 
Unless you specifically installed "legacy network services" during the
initial install, you don't have the requisite servers installed (or if
you did install them, they're probably turned off or firewalled).

You could set up a passphrase-less ssh key and use scp between the two
servers, or use Samba or NFS or any number of other protocols (even
http!) rather than rsh/rcp.
