UUTO(1C)                             BSD                              UUTO(1C)



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

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

DESCRIPTION
     uuto sends source-files 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 pathname on your machine.  Destination
     has the form
          system!user

     where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows about
     (see uuname); user is the log-in 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 /usr/spool/uucppublic.  Specifically the
     files are sent to

          PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.

     The destined recipient is notified by mail(1) of the arrival of files.

     Two uuto options are available:

     -p        Copy the source file into the spool directory before
               transmission.

     -m        Send mail to the sender when the copy is complete.

     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 following message is
     printed on the standard output:

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

     uupick then reads a line from the standard input to determine the
     disposition of the file:

     <new-line>      Go on to the next entry.

     d               Delete the entry.

     m [ dir ]       Move the entry to named directory dir. If dir is not
                     specified as a complete pathname (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 ]       The same as m except that it moves all the files sent
                     from system.

     p               Print the content of the file.

     q               Stop.

     EOT (CTRL/D)    Same as q.

     !command        Escape to the shell to do command.

     *               Print a command summary.

     uupick invoked with the -ssystem option will only search the PUBDIR for
     files sent from system.


FILES
     PUBDIR    /usr/spool/uucppublic       public directory

WARNINGS
     To send files that begin with a dot (for example, .profile) the files
     must by qualified with a dot. For example: .profile, .prof*, .profil?
     are correct; whereas *prof*, ?profile are incorrect.
