UUTO(1C)             INTERACTIVE UNIX System             UUTO(1C)



          NAME
               uuto, uupick - public UNIX system to UNIX system file copy

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

          DESCRIPTION
               The uuto command sends source-files to destination.  uuto
               uses the uucp(1C) 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/uucppublic.  Specifically the files are sent to

                    PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.

               The destined recipient is notified by mail(1) of the arrival
               of files.

               The uupick command 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 out-
               put:
                    from system: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?

               The uupick command 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. If
                               dir is not specified as a complete path name
                               (in which $HOME is legitimate), a destina-
                               tion 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 file.

               q               Stop.

               EOT (control-d) Same as q.

               !command        Escape to the shell to do command.

               *               Print a command summary.

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


          FILES
               PUBDIR/usr/spool/uucppublic      public directory

          SEE ALSO
               mail(1), uucleanup(1M), uucp(1C), uustat(1C), uux(1C).

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