6 uucp, uulog - unix to unix copy
7
9 uucp [ option ] ... source-file ... destination-file
10
11 uulog [ option ] ...
12
14 Uucp copies files named by the source-file arguments to the destina‐
15 tion-file argument. A file name may be a path name on your machine, or
16 may have the form
17
18 system-name!pathname
19
20 where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which uucp
21 knows about. Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname part
22 will be expanded on the appropriate system.
23
24 Pathnames may be one of
25
26 (1) a full pathname;
27
28 (2) a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on the
29 specified system and is replaced by that user's login directory;
30
31 (3) anything else is prefixed by the current directory.
32
33 If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system the copy
34 will fail. If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of
35 the source-file name is used.
36
37 Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives
38 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).
39
40 The following options are interpreted by uucp.
41
42 -d Make all necessary directories for the file copy.
43
44 -c Use the source file when copying out rather than copying the
45 file to the spool directory.
46
47 -m Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.
48
49 Uulog maintains a summary log of uucp and uux(1) transactions in the
50 file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering information from partial
51 log files named `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'. It removes the partial log
52 files.
53
54 The options cause uulog to print logging information:
55
56 -ssys Print information about work involving system sys.
57
58 -uuser Print information about work done for the specified user.
59
61 /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
62 /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files
63
65 uux(1), mail(1)
66 D. A. Nowitz, Uucp Implementation Description
67
69 The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious security
70 reasons, usually should) be severely restricted. You will very likely
71 not be able to fetch files by pathname; ask a responsible person on the
72 remote system to send them to you. For the same reasons you will prob‐
73 ably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames.
74
76 All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
77 The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a single file.
78 (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters ?*[]
79 will not activate the -m option.)
