uusend(1c)
NAME
uusend − send a file to a remote host
SYNTAX
uusend [ -m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile
DESCRIPTION
The uusend command sends a file to a given location on a remote system. The system need not be directly connected to the local system, but a chain of uucp(1c) links needs to connect the two systems.
If the -m option is specified, the mode of the file on the remote end is taken from the octal number given. Otherwise, the mode of the input file is used.
The sourcefile can be “-”, meaning to use the standard input. Both of these options are primarily intended for internal use of uusend.
The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax.
RESTRICTIONS
All systems along the line must have the uusend command available and allow remote execution of it.
Some uucp systems have a restriction where binary files cannot be the input to a uux(1c) command. If this exists in any system along the line, the file will show up severly distorted.
DIAGNOSTICS
If anything goes wrong any further away than the first system down the line, you will never hear about it.
