NAME

       uusend - send a file to a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       uusend [ -m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile

DESCRIPTION

       Uusend  sends a file to a given location on a remote system.  The system need not be directly connected to the local system, but a chain of
       uucp(1) links needs to connect the two systems.

       If the -m option is specified, the mode of the file on the remote end will be taken from the octal number given.  Otherwise,  the  mode	of
       the input file will be used.

       The sourcefile can be ``-'', meaning to use the standard input.	Both of these options are primarily intended for internal use of uusend.

       The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If anything goes wrong any further away than the first system down the line, you will never hear about it.

       uux(1), uucp(1), uuencode(1)

BUGS

       This command should not exist, since uucp should handle it.

       All systems along the line must have the uusend command available and allow remote execution of it.

       Some uucp systems have a bug where binary files cannot be the input to a uux command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line, the
       file will show up severly munged.

NAME

       uuencode, uudecode - encode/decode a binary file for transmission via mail

SYNOPSIS

       uuencode [ source ] remotedest | mail sys1!sys2!..!decode
       uudecode [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

       Uuencode  and uudecode are used to send a binary file via uucp (or other) mail.	This combination can be used over indirect mail links even
       when uusend(1C) is not available.

       Uuencode takes the named source file (default standard input) and produces an encoded version on the standard output.   The  encoding  uses
       only printing ASCII characters, and includes the mode of the file and the remotedest for recreation on the remote system.

       Uudecode reads an encoded file, strips off any leading and trailing lines added by mailers, and recreates the original file with the speci-
       fied mode and name.

       The intent is that all mail to the user ``decode'' should be filtered through the uudecode program.  This way the file is created automati-
       cally  without  human  intervention.   This  is	possible on the uucp network by either using sendmail or by making rmail be a link to Mail
       instead of mail.  In each case, an alias must be created in a master file to get the automatic invocation of uudecode.

       If these facilities are not available, the file can be sent to a user on the remote machine who can uudecode it manually.

       The encode file has an ordinary text form and can be edited by any text editor to change the mode or remote name.

BUGS

       The file is expanded by 35% (3 bytes become 4 plus control information) causing it to take longer to transmit.

       The user on the remote system who is invoking uudecode (often uucp) must have write permission on the specified file.
