uusend(1C) uusend(1C)
NAME
uusend - send a file to a remote host
SYNOPSIS
uusend [-mmode] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile
DESCRIPTION
uusend sends a file to a given location on a remote system.
The system need not be directly connected to the local
system, but a chain of uucp(1C) links needs to connect the
two systems.
If the -m flag option is specified, the mode of the file on
the remote end will be taken from the octal number given.
Otherwise, the mode of the input file will be used.
The sourcefile can be -, meaning to use the standard input.
Both of these flag options are primarily intended for
internal use of uusend.
The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax.
DIAGNOSTICS
If anything goes wrong any further away than the first
system down the line, you will never hear about it.
FILES
/usr/ucb/uusend

``Using UUCP'' in Oreo Communications User's Guide. This
command shouldn't exist, since uucp should handle it.
All systems along the line must have the uusend command
available and allow remote execution of it.
Some uucp systems have a bug where binary files cannot be
the input to a uux command. If this bug exists in any
system along the line, the file will show up severly munged.
