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.

SEE ALSO
       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.
