   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[!system] ... !user


         where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows
         about (see uuname(1C)).  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 sysname: [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 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 destination 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 -s system option will only search the PUBDIR
         for files sent from system.

   WARNINGS
         In order to send files that begin with a dot (e.g., .profile), the
         files must be qualified with a dot.  For example, the following files
         are correct:

               .profile       .prof*       .profil?

         The following files are incorrect:

               *prof*       ?profile
