The remote shell (rsh) is a command-line computer program that can execute shell commands as another user, and on another computer across a computer network.
When connecting via rsh, the remote system runs the rsh daemon (rshd). This daemon typically uses the well-known Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 514.
