NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       uuto [-mp] source-file... destination

       uupick [-s system]

DESCRIPTION

   uuto
       uuto  sends source-file 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[!system] ... !user

       where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows about.  User is the login name of someone on the specified system.

       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 /var/spool/uucppublic. Specifically the files are sent to

       PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.

       The recipient is notified by mail(1) of the arrival of files.

   uupick
       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 standard output:

       from system sysname: [file file-name] [dir dirname] ?

       uupick then reads a line from standard input to determine the disposition of the file:

       <new-line>	  Go 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 above, except it moves 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.

OPTIONS

   uuto
       The following options are supported by uuto:

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

       -p    Copy the source file into the spool directory before transmission.

       The following option is supported by uupick:

       -s system    Search only the PUBDIR for files sent from system.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported for  uuto:

       destination    A string of the form:

		      system-name!user

		      where system-name is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows about; see uuname. The argument  user  is	the  login
		      name of someone on the specified system. The destination system-name can also be a list of names such as

		      system-name!system-name!... !system-name!user

		      in  which  case,	an  attempt  is  made to send the file via the specified route to the destination. Care should be taken to
		      ensure that intermediate nodes in the route are willing to forward information.

       source-file    A pathname of a file on the local system to be copied to destination.

NOTES

       In order to send files that begin with a dot (for instance, .profile), the files must  be qualified with a dot.	For example, the following
       files are correct:

		 .profile	 .prof*       .profil?

       The following files are incorrect:

		 *prof*        ?profile
