NAME

       uuto - Copies public files between systems using local file access control

SYNOPSIS

       uuto [-mp] source... user

       The uuto command copies one or more source files from one system to a specified user on another system.

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       uuto():	XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS

       Notifies the sender by mail when the copy is complete.  Copies the source file to the spool directory on the local system.  The source file
       resides in the spooling directory for a set period of time (defined in the uusched program) before the uucp command calls the  uucico  dae-
       mon,  which  actually  transfers the copy to the public directory on the specified remote system.  The default is to transfer a source file
       directly to the specified user.

DESCRIPTION

       The uuto command calls the uucp command for the actual file transfer, but uuto enables the recipient to use the uupick  command	to  handle
       the transferred files on the local system.

       The source argument is the name of the files on the local system, or a pathname to the files on the system that runs the command.  The user
       is a specific user ID.  This entry has the following format: system!user

       where system is the name of a remote system connected to the local system, and user is the login name of the recipient of  the  transferred
       files on the specified system.

       When  copying  a file from one user to another user on the local system, omit the system entry; the destination is simply the login name of
       the user to whom the file is being sent.

       The uuto command sends files to /usr/spool/uucppublic on the designated system; this is a public directory.  The command  also  creates	an
       additional  directory  called receive (if it does not already exist), plus the directory /user/system under receive.  The full pathnames to
       the copied files are of the following form, /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system/file

       where user is the login name of the recipient and system is the name of the system from which file was copied.

       Once the copied file is in the receive directory, uuto notifies the recipient by rmail that the	file  has  arrived.   The  recipient  then
       issues  the  uupick  command, which searches the public directory for files sent to the specified user ID, displaying the message that file
       file has arrived from system system for each file it locates.  The user then enters one of the uupick file-handling options to  delete  the
       file, move it to another directory, and so on.

NOTES

       The uuto utility is marked LEGACY in XCU Issue 5.

EXAMPLES

       To  copy  the  file  /usr/bin/file1  on	local  system  hera  to user karen on remote system zeus, enter the following: uuto /usr/bin/file1
       zeus!karen

	      The file /usr/bin/file1 is sent to remote system zeus, and is stored there  at  /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/karen/hera/file1.	To
	      copy  a  file to a user on a remote system and receive a message back telling you if the source file was successfully copied, enter:
	      uuto -m /usr/bin/file2 zeus!karen

	      The file /usr/bin/file2 is sent to the user karen on the remote system zeus at the same location as in Example 1, and a message con-
	      firming  that  the  copy was successful is returned to the sender.  To copy a file to another user on local system hera, enter: uuto
	      /usr/bin/file3 ron

	      The file /usr/bin/file3 is sent to the user ron on the local system, and is stored in  /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/ron/hera/file3.
	      No mail message is sent to the recipient in a local transfer.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of uuto: [Tru64 UNIX]  Specifies the flow control used on the connection.  Permit-
       ted values are: HW (hardware), SW (software), HSW (hardware and software), and NONE. The uugetty on the remote system  must  also  use  the
       same  flow  control.  Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the
       corresponding value from the default locale is used.  If any of the internationalization variables contains an invalid setting, the utility
       behaves	as  if none of the variables had been defined.	If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the other interna-
       tionalization variables.  Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example,  sin-
       gle-byte  as opposed to multibyte characters in arguments and input files).  Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format
       and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.  Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MES-
       SAGES.	[Tru64	UNIX]  Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) for uucico to try to establish a connection before it times out.  A value
       of 0 (zero) indicates an unlimited amount of time.

FILES
