"refused an attempted connect operation" presumably means that the remote
machine isn't running the required network service. Rcp makes use of the
same "shell" service as rsh, so check PROD's /etc/inetd.conf to see if this
service is enabled.

However, a better solution would probably be to use scp, which makes use of
the ssh service, which is more secure.
