Transport properties of two coupled Josephson junctions driven by ac currents and thermal fluctuations are studied with the purpose of determining dc voltage characteristics. It is a physical realization of directed transport induced by a non-biased zero averaged external signal. The ac current is applied either to (A) only one junction as a biharmonic current or (B) is split into two simple harmonic components and separately applied to respective junctions. We identify regimes where junctions can operate with the same as well as opposite signs of voltages. A general observation is that in the same parameters regimes, the scenario (B) is more efficient in the sense that the induced dc voltages take greater values.
