NAME uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy SYNOPSIS uuto [-m] [-p] source-files destination uupick [-ssystem] 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). logname is the login name of someone on the specified system. Two flag options are available: -p Copy the source file into the spool directory be- fore 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. 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: newline Go on to next entry. d Delete the entry. m [dir] Move the entry to named directory dir (current directory is default).

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. EXAMPLES uuto -p file1 file2 file3 ucbvax!kalash would send the three files to ``kalash'' on ``ucbvax'' uupick [executed by user kalash] would tell him what has arrived and from where. NOTES In order to send any files, they must be readable by others; see In order to send any files, they must be readable by others; see chmod(1). chmod(1). In order to send files that begin with a dot (for example, .profile) the file must be qualified with a dot. For example: .profile, .prof*, .profil? are correct; whereas *prof*, ?profile are in- correct.
