You need to elaborate on how your file names look like, how the directories to which you want to put your files look like.

Otherwise, I can only come up with the following:
Code:
for file in `ls -1`; do
    cp $file $dir
    ....have copied 10 files to a directory? change $dir to another directory.
    .....
done

NAME
uuto, uupick - public UNIX system to UNIX system file copy SYNOPSIS
[options] source-files destination system] DESCRIPTION
sends source-files to destination. uses the facility to send files (see uucp(1)), while allowing the local system to control the file access. A source-file name is a path name on your machine. Destination has the form: where system is taken from a list of system names that knows about (see in uucp(1) manual entry). user is the login name of someone on the specified system. recognizes the following options: Copy the source file into the spool directory immediately, and send the copy. Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete. The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to PUBDIR on system, where PUBDIR is the UUCP public directory Specifically the files are sent to PUBDIR The recipient is notified by electronic mail when the files arrive. accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the recipient. Specifically, searches PUBDIR for files destined for the user. For each entry (file or directory) found, the following message is printed on the standard output: file-name] dirname] then reads a line from the standard input to determine the disposition of the file: <new-line> Go on to next entry. Delete the entry. Move the entry to named directory dir (current directory is default). Note that, if the current working directory is desired for dir, do specify any parameter with A construction such as is erroneous, and results in loss of data. Same as except move all the files sent from system. Print the contents of the file. Stop. EOT (control-D) Same as Escape to the shell to execute command. Print a command summary. invoked with the option searches only the PUBDIR for files sent from system. WARNINGS
