NAME

       uubp - Unix-to-Unix beer protocol

SYNOPSIS

       uubp [-acefghlqy] site

DESCRIPTION

       Uubp  allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented grain beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP (telecommunication pro-
       tocol for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes beer from a local file system into packets suitable for  FTP	(fermentation  transfer  protocol)
       delivery at a remote IP site.

       Example:

       % uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100

       The  preceding  example	sends  two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale (-c"AMBER") with a fizziness quotient of 70%, brewed using yeast of type 0
       (saccharomyces cerevisiae) to PI address 198.137.240.100, which is the IP address of the White House.

RESTRICTIONS

       Both source and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon.  In addition, local restriction exist in many areas for  the  transportation
       alkohol across state lines. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is currently involved in litigation to ensure the ability to distribute beer
       through the uubp protocol according to the 21st Amendment. To support the SIG of EFF devoted to this cause, join  the  Homebrewers  of  the
       Electronic  Frontier  Engaged  in  Winning  Electronic  Independence  and  Zeroing  Establishment  Nonsense  (HEFEWEIZEN),  or send mail to
