  NAME

    uuto, uupick - Runs the public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy program

  SYNOPSIS

    uuto [flag ... ] source-files destination

    uupick [-s system]

  FLAGS

    -p   Copy the source file into the spool directory before transmission.

    -m   Send mail to the sender when the copy is complete.

  DESCRIPTION

    The uuto command sends source-files to destination using the uucp facility
    to send files, while allowing the local system to control the file access.
    A source-file name is a pathname 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).  The user argument is the login name of someone on the
    specified system.

    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/uucppublic.  Specifically, the
    files are sent to:

    PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files

    The destined recipient is notified by mail of the arrival of files.

    The uupick command accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the user.
    Specifically, uupick searches for files destined for the user.  For each
    entry (file or directory) found, the following message is displayed on
    stdout:

    from system: file filename dir dirname?

    The uupick command then reads a line from stdin to determine the
    disposition of the file:

    <Return>         Go to next entry.

    d                Delete the entry.

    m [dir]          Move the entry to named directory dir.  If dir is not
                     specified as a complete pathname (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                Display the content of the file.

    q                Stop.

    EOT (<Ctrl-D>)   Same as q.

    !command         Escape to the shell to do command.

    *                Display a command summary.

    The uupick command, when invoked with the -s system flag, will only search
    the PUBDIR for files sent from system.

  FILES

    PUBDIR/usr/spool/uucppublic   Public directory

  CAUTIONS

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