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
     path name 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 login name of someone
     on the specified system.

     Two 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.

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

     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 deter-
     mine the disposition of the file:

     <new-line>      Go on 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 destina-
                     tion relative to the current directory is
                     assumed.  If no destination is given, the

                     default is the current directory.

     a [ dir ]       Same as m except moving 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.

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

WARNINGS
     In order to send files that begin with a dot (e.g., .pro-
     file) the files must by qualified with a dot. For example:
     .profile, .prof*,
      .profil? are correct; whereas *prof*, ?profile are
     incorrect.
