DESCRIPTION

16   uuto
17       uuto  sends source-file to destination. uuto uses the uucp(1C) facility
18       to send files, while it allows the local system  to  control  the  file
19       access.  A source-file name is a path name on your machine. Destination
20       has the form:
21
22
23       system[!system] ... !user
24
25
26       where system is taken from a list  of  system  names  that  uucp  knows
27       about.  User is the login name of someone on the specified system.
28
29
30       The  files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to PUB‐
31       DIR on system, where PUBDIR is a public directory defined in  the  uucp
32       source.  By  default, this directory is /var/spool/uucppublic. Specifi‐
33       cally the files are sent to
34
35
36       PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.
37
38
39       The recipient is notified by mail(1) of the arrival of files.
40
41   uupick
42       uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the  user.  Specifi‐
43       cally, uupick searches PUBDIR for files destined for the user. For each
44       entry (file or directory) found, the following message  is  printed  on
45       standard output:
46
47
48       from system sysname: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?
49
50
51       uupick  then reads a line from standard input to determine the disposi‐
52       tion of the file:
53
54       <new-line>         Go to next entry.
55
56
57       d                  Delete the entry.
58
59
60       m [ dir ]          Move the entry to named directory dir. If dir is not
61                          specified  as  a complete path name (in which  $HOME
62                          is legitimate), a destination relative to  the  cur‐
63                          rent  directory  is  assumed.   If no destination is
64                          given, the default is the current directory.
65
66
67       a [ dir ]          Same as m above, except it moves all the files  sent
68                          from system.
69
70
71       p                  Print the content of the file.
72
73
74       q                  Stop.
75
76
77       EOT (control-d)    Same as q.
78
79
80       !command           Escape to the shell to do command.
81
82
83       *                  Print a command summary.

OPERANDS

104       The following operands are supported for  uuto:
105
106       destination    A string of the form:
107
108                      system-name!user
109
110                      where system-name is taken from a list of  system  names
111                      that  uucp knows about; see uuname. The argument user is
112                      the login name of someone on the specified  system.  The
113                      destination system-name can also be a list of names such
114                      as
115
116                      system-name!system-name!... !system-name!user
117
118                      in which case, an attempt is made to send the  file  via
119                      the  specified  route to the destination. Care should be
120                      taken to ensure that intermediate nodes in the route are
121                      willing to forward information.
122
123
124       source-file    A pathname of a file on the local system to be copied to
125                      destination.

NOTES

162       In order to send files that begin with a dot (for instance,  .profile),
163       the  files  must   be qualified with a dot.  For example, the following
164       files are correct:
165
166
167                 .profile        .prof*       .profil?
168
169
170       The following files are incorrect:
171
172
173                 *prof*        ?profile
