Communication Commands uuto(1C)
NAME
uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy
SYNOPSIS
uuto [-mp] source-file... destination
uupick [-s system]
DESCRIPTION
uuto
uuto sends source-file to destination. uuto uses the
uucp(1C) facility to send files, while it allows the local
system to control the file access. A source-file name is a
path name on your machine. Destination has the form:
system[!system] ... !user
where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp
knows about. User is the login name of someone on the
specified system.
The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are
sent to PUBDIR on system, where PUBDIR is a public directory
defined in the uucp source. By default, this directory is
/var/spool/uucppublic. Specifically the files are sent to
PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.
The recipient is notified by mail(1) of the arrival of
files.
uupick
uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the user.
Specifically, uupick searches PUBDIR for files destined for
the user. For each entry (file or directory) found, the fol-
lowing message is printed on standard output:
from system sysname: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?
uupick then reads a line from standard input to determine
the disposition of the file:

Go to next entry.
d Delete the entry.
m [ dir ] Move the entry to named directory dir. If
dir is not specified as a complete path
name (in which $HOME is legitimate), a
destination relative to the current
directory is assumed. If no destination
is given, the default is the current
directory.
a [ dir ] Same as m above, except it moves all the
files sent from system.
p Print the content of the file.
q Stop.
EOT (control-d) Same as q.
!command Escape to the shell to do command.
* Print a command summary.

OPERANDS
The following operands are supported for uuto:
destination A string of the form:
system-name!user
where system-name is taken from a list of
system names that uucp knows about; see
uuname. The argument user is the login name
of someone on the specified system. The des-
tination system-name can also be a list of
names such as
system-name!system-name!... !system-name!user
in which case, an attempt is made to send the
file via the specified route to the destina-
tion. Care should be taken to ensure that
intermediate nodes in the route are willing
to forward information.
source-file A pathname of a file on the local system to
be copied to destination.
