NAME

       uucp, uulog - unix to unix copy

SYNOPSIS

       uucp [ option ] ...  source-file ...  destination-file

       uulog [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Uucp  copies files named by the source-file arguments to the destination-file argument.	A file name may be a path name on your machine, or
       may have the form

	      system-name!pathname

       where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which uucp knows about.  Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname  part
       will be expanded on the appropriate system.

       Pathnames may be one of(1)    a full pathname;

       (2)    a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on the specified system and is replaced by that user's login directory;

       (3)    anything else is prefixed by the current directory.

       If  the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system the copy will fail.  If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of
       the source-file name is used.

       Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).

       The following options are interpreted by uucp.

       -d     Make all necessary directories for the file copy.

       -c     Use the source file when copying out rather than copying the file to the spool directory.

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

       Uulog maintains a summary log of uucp and uux(1) transactions in the file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering information  from  partial
       log files named `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'.  It removes the partial log files.

       The options cause uulog to print logging information:

       -ssys  Print information about work involving system sys.

       -uuser Print information about work done for the specified user.

FILES

       /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
       /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files

WARNING

       The  domain  of	remotely  accessible  files  can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted.  You will very
       likely not be able to fetch files by pathname; ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you.  For the same reasons you
       will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames.

BUGS

       All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
       The  -m	option	will  only work sending files or receiving a single file.  (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters
       ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
