NAME

uusend − send a file to a remote host

SYNOPSIS

uusend [ −m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile

DESCRIPTION

Uusend sends a file to a given location on a remote system.  The system need not be directly connected to the local system, but a chain of uucp(1C) links needs to connect the two systems.

The sourcefile can be “−”, meaning to use the standard input.  Both of these options are primarily intended for internal use of uusend.

The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax. 

OPTIONS

−m mode
Take the mode of the file on the remote end from the octal number specified as mode. The mode of the input file is used if the −m option is not specified. 

DIAGNOSTICS

If anything goes wrong any further away than the first system down the line, you will never hear about it.

BUGS

This command shouldn’t exist, since uucp should handle it. 

All systems along the line must have the uusend command available and allow remote execution of it. 

Some UUCP systems have a bug where binary files cannot be the input to a uux command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line, the file will show up severely munged.
