UUTO(C)                                    UNIX System V



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


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


     Description
          uuto sends  source-files  to  destination.   uuto  uses  the
          uucp(C)  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(C) of the arrival
          of files.

          uupick 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 output:
               from system: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?

          uupick  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
                          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               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.

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

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