UUPICK(1)       DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)       UUPICK(1)



NAME
     uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy

USAGE
     uuto [ options ] source-files destination
     uupick [-s system]

DESCRIPTION
     Uuto sends source-files to destination.  It uses the uucp
     (1) 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 this form:

          system!user

     where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp
     (1) knows about.  Refer to uuname (1) for more information.
     The user is the log-in name of someone on the specified sys-
     tem.

     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 (1) source.  Specifically the files are
     sent to this address:

          PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files

     The destined recipient is notified by mail (1) when the
     files arrive.

     Uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to you.
     Specifically, uupick searches PUBDIR for files destined for
     you.  For each entry (file or directory) found, uupick
     prints the following message on the standard output:

          from system: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?

     Uupick then reads a line from the standard input to deter-
     mine the disposition of the file:

     <newline>       Continue to next entry.

     d               Delete the entry.

     m [ dir ]       Move the entry to named directory dir (the
                     current directory is the default).

     a [ dir ]       Same as m except moving all the files sent
                     from system.
