uuto(1C)                                                 uuto(1C)



NAME
     uuto, uupick  -  provide  an  easy  interface  to  the  uucp
     command, using the public directories

SYNOPSIS
     uuto [-m] [-p] file... destination

     uupick [-ssystem]

ARGUMENTS
     destination
          Specifies a path of system names over which the files
          are to be transmitted and the login name of a user on
          the last system who is to receive the files.  The
          destination argument has the form

             system1![system2!]...login-name

          The value of system1 must be the name of a remote
          system in your /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file.  Use the
          uuname command to see the names of systems in that
          file. For the transfer to complete successfully, the
          value of system2 must be configured in the
          /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, or its equivalent, on
          system1 and so on through the chain of systems.

          The value of login-name must be the login name of a
          user on the remote system specified by the last value
          of system in the chain.

     file Specifies the file or files that are to be transferred
          to the remote system. The value of the file argument
          can be the name of a single file; the name of a
          directory, in which case all the files in the directory
          hierarchy are transferred; or a string containing shell
          metacharacters that expand to one or more file or
          directory names.

     -m   Sends mail to the user of the uuto command when the
          transfer to the system1 is complete.

     -p   Runs uucp so that it copies files into the spool
          directory and uses the copy to make the transfer.  If
          you do not use this option, the actual file is read to
          make the file transfer.  In this case, you must not
          move, delete, or rename the file until the transfer is
          complete, or the transfer will fail.

     -ssystem
          Specifies the name of a system when you are using the
          uupick command and causes uupick to display information
          about files from the system specified by system only.

uuto(1C)                                                 uuto(1C)



          If you do not use this option, uupick displays
          information about files you have received from all
          systems.

DESCRIPTION
     uuto provides an easy-to-use interface to the uucp command.
     The files (or directories and files if the file argument is
     a directory) are transferred to a directory named for your
     system in
     /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/login-name/system-name, where
     login-name is the value of the login-name component of the
     destination argument and the value of system-name is the
     name of the system that delivered the file.  The user
     specified by login-name is notified by mail when the files
     arrive.

     uupick allows you to accept or dispose of files that have
     been transmitted by uuto.  For each file or directory that
     uupick finds for you, it displays the following message on
     the standard output:

        from system system: [file file] [dir dir] ?

     Then uupick waits for you to enter one of the following
     disposition commands:

     !command
          Returns to the shell, which runs the command specified
          by command, and returns to uupick.

     *    Displays a summary of uupick commands.

     a[dir]
          Acts the same way as the -m option except that uupick
          moves all of the files sent from system.

     CONTROL-D
          Acts the same way as the q command.

     d    Deletes the file or directory.

     m[dir]
          Moves the file or directory to the directory specified
          by dir.  The value of dir can be a full pathname (in
          which $HOME is allowed) or a relative pathname. If the
          value of dir is a relative pathname, uupick uses your
          current directory and the value of dir as the directory
          into which to move the file.  If you do provide a dir
          argument, uupick uses the current directory.

     p    Displays the contents of the file.

uuto(1C)                                                 uuto(1C)



     q    Exits uupick.

     RETURN
          Causes uuto to go on to next the file or directory.

WARNINGS
     To send a file whose name begins with a period, such as
     .profile, you must specify the period rather than relying on
     the shell to expand a metacharacter for you.  For example,
     the following file specifications are correct:

        .profile
        .prof*
        .profil?

     The following file specifications will not work:

        *profile
        ?profile
