NAME
     uuto - UNIX-to-UNIX file copy

SYNOPSIS
     uuto[ option] source-file... destination

DESCRIPTION
     uuto sends the local file you specify to the destination you specify.
     It uses uucp facilities for sending files, but it also allows the
     local system to control file access.

OPTIONS
     -p   Copies the source file to the spool directory before sending it.

     -m   uuto sends mail to the originator once transmission is complete.

     --   If source-file begins with a dash (-), the end of the command-
          line options must be marked with --.

     source-file
          The files (or sub-trees if you specify directories) are sent to
          the uucp public directory on the destination system. By default
          this directory is called /var/spool/uucppublic.

          The intended recipient is informed by mail that the files have
          arrived.

     destination
          You specify the destination system in the form:

          system!user

          The system you specify must be known to uucp [see uuname(1)].
          user is the login name of a user on the destination system. The
          destination system can also be specified in the form of a list of
          system names.

          system1!system2!...!systemn!user

          In this case, the data is routed as specified.

          The recipient can fetch the files with uupick.

     Caution:
          When sending files whose names begin with a dot (e.g. .profile),
          you cannot use file name generation metacharacters at the begin-
          ning of the file name. You must always include the dot.

          Correct: .profile   .prof*   .profil?

          Incorrect: *prof*   ?profile

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed. If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined
     as the null string, it defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is like-
     wise undefined or null, the system acts as if it were not internation-
     alized.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

EXAMPLES
     You are logged in on system davies under the login name miles and want
     to send the file cooljazz to a lady called aretha working on franklin:

     $ uuto cooljazz franklin!aretha

     Once the transfer is completed, the recipient receives a message in
     her default mailbox and can read it with mail:

     $ mail
     From miles Mon Mar 18 12:48 MET 1991
     Content-Type: Text
     Content-Length: 877

/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/aretha/davies/cooljazz from davies!miles arrived

FILES
     var/spool/uucppublic
          Public directory on the destination system. In this directory it
          is safe to assume that you will be allowed to perform file trans-
          fers into and out of the system.
