uuto(C)                         19 June 1992                         uuto(C)


 Name

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

 Syntax

    uuto [ -mp ] 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 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'').  user is the login name of someone on the specified
    system.

    Options are:

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

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

    The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to
    /usr/spool/uucppublic.  Specifically, the files are sent to:

       /usr/spool/uucppublic/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.  Specifical-
    ly, uupick searches /usr/spool/uucppublic 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 filename ] [ dir dirname ] ?

    uupick then reads a line from the standard input to determine the dispo-
    sition of the file:

    <newline>     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 pathname (in which $HOME is legiti-
                  mate), 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 move all the files sent from system.

    p             Print the content of the file.

    q             Quit.

    EOT <Ctrl>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
    /usr/spool/uucppublic for files sent from system.

 File

    /usr/spool/uucppublic    public directory

 Notes

    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*, .pro-
    fil?  are correct; whereas *prof*, ?profile are incorrect.
