We consider the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{t}c$(or $t\bar{c}$) in the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models. We find that the contributions of charged scalars (technipions and top-pions) and topcolor gauge bosons are negligibly small. The neutral scalars (top-pion $\pi_{t}^{0}$ and top-Higgs $h_{t}^{0}$) can give significant contributions to this process. With reasonable values of the parameters in TC2 models, there will be several tens of the observable $\bar{t}c$ events to be generated in the future $e^{+}e^{-}$ linear colliders.
