uucp Command uucp
Ready files for transmission to other systems
uucp [ -bcCdm ] source1 ... sourceN dest
uucp copies files source1 through sourceN to the destination sys-
tem dest. Either source or destination files can contain
specifications for the remote system.
uucp recognizes the following options:
-c Instead of copying the source file to the spool directory, use
the file itself. This is a default.
-C Copy the source file to the spool directory.
-d Make directories on dest if they are necessary for copying the
files.
-f Do not make intermediate directories for the file copy.
-ggrade
grade is a single ASCII character indicating the importance of
the files being transmitted: the lower the value of grade, the
more important the files.
-m Send mail to the requester when the file is sent.
-nuser
Notify user on destination system that file was sent. Note
that user may contain a path:
-nuser!site
-xdebug
debug is a single-digit number, 0 to 9. The higher the level,
the more information yielded.

uucp Command uucp
uucp george!/foo /tmp
The next example copies file /foo from system george into file or
directory /bar on system ivan:
uucp george!/foo ivan!/bar
Note that this assumes your system can talk to both george and
ivan and that your system has permission to read file /foo on
system george as well as to write file /bar on system ivan.
The next example downloads files /foo and /bar from remote sys-
tems ivan and george into directory /tmp on your system:
uucp ivan!/foo george!/bar /tmp
