        SYNTAX

        uuto [ options ] source-files destination
        uupick [ -s system ]


        DESCRIPTION

        Uuto sends source-files to destination.  Uuto uses the uucp(1)
        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!user

        where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows
        about (see uuname).  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
        /usr/spool/uupublic.  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: [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 (current
                        directory is default).  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 files.

        q               Stop.

        EOT (control-d) Same as q.

        !command        Escape to the shell to do command.

        *               Print a command summary.

        Uupick invoked with the -ssystem option will only search the
        PUBDIR for files sent from system.


        FILES

        PUBDIR    /usr/spool/uucppublic       public directory


        NOTES

        In order to send files that begin with a dot (e.g., .profile) the
        files must by qualified with a dot. For example: .profile,
        .prof*, .profil?  are correct; whereas *prof*, ?profile are
        incorrect.
