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  deter-
     mine 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  destina-
                     tion  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.


FILES

NOTES
     In order to send files that begin with a  dot  (e.g.,  .pro-
     file), 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
