UUTO(1)                                                   UUTO(1)


NAME
       uuto, uupick - system-to-system file copy

SYNOPSIS
       uuto [-mp] file ...  destination

       uupick [-s system]

DESCRIPTION
   uuto
       uuto uses uucp(1) to send files to destination.  File is a
       path name on your machine, which may also be  a  directory
       name.  Destination has the form:

              system-name!username

       where  system-name  is  taken  from a list of system names
       that uucp knows about  (see  uucp(1)).   Username  is  the
       login name of someone on the specified system.

       The  files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are
       sent to the public UUCP directory on  the  remote  machine
       system-name.       Normally,     this     directory     is
       /usr/spool/uucppublic.  Specifically the files are sent to

              PUBDIR/receive/username/mysystem/file

       where  PUBDIR is the public UUCP directory on system-name,
       mysystem is the system from which the files are sent,  and
       file is the file being sent.

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

   uupick
       uupick accepts or rejects the  files  transmitted  to  the
       user  by  uuto.   Specifically, uupick searches the public
       UUCP directory on the local machine for files sent to  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
       determine the disposition of the file:

         <NEWLINE>
             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.

         <CTRL-D>
             Same as q.

         !command
             Escape to the shell to do command.

         *   Print a command summary.
