uuto

PURPOSE

     Copies public  files from one  AIX system to  another AIX
     system, with local system control of file access.

SYNOPSIS
     uuto [-p -m] source_files destination
     uupick [ -s system ]


DESCRIPTION

     The Basic Networking Utilities  (BNU) command uuto copies
     one or more source files from  one AIX system to a speci-
     fied user on another AIX  system.  The uuto command calls
     the BNU  command uucp for  the actual file  transfer, but
     uuto enables the  recipient to use the  uupick options to
     handle the transferred files on the local system.

     The source  entry is the name  of the files on  the local
     system, or  a path name to  the files on the  system that
     runs the command.  The user  is a specific user ID.  This
     entry has the following format:

          system!user

     where system is the name  of a remote system connected to
     the  local system,  and user  is  the login  name of  the
     recipient  of  the  transferred files  on  the  specified
     system.

     Note:  When copying a file  from one user to another user
     on the local system, omit  the system entry; the destina-
     tion is  simply the ID  of the user  to whom the  file is
     being sent.

     The uuto command sends  files to /usr/spool/uucppublic on
     the designated  system; this is a  public directory.  The
     command  also  creates  an  additional  directory  called
     receive (if it  does not already exist),  plus the direc-
     tory  /user/system.  The  full path  names to  the copied
     files are therefore some form of the following:

       /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system/files

     Once the  copied file is  in the receive  directory, uuto
     notifies  the  recipient  by  rmail  that  the  file  has
     arrived.  The  recipient then issues the  uupick command,
     which searches the public directory for files sent to the
     specified user ID, displaying  the message that file name
     has arrived  from system name  for each file  it locates.
     The  user then  enters  one of  the uupick  file-handling
     options to delete the file, move it to another directory,
     and so on.

FLAGS

     -m  Notifies the sender by bellmail when the copy is com-
         plete.
     -p  Copies the source file to  the spool directory on the
         local  system.   The  source   file  resides  in  the
         spooling directory for a  set period of time (defined
         in the uusched program) before the uucp command calls
         the uucico daemon, which  actually transfers the copy
         to  the  public  directory on  the  specified  remote
         system.   The default  is to  transfer a  source file
         directly to the specified user.

FILES

     /usr/spool/uucppublic         Public directory.
