     UUTO(1C)                                                 UUTO(1C)



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

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

     DESCRIPTION
          uuto 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.

          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.
