I have a problem using uucp. I have Ubuntu 10.4 and i installed the 'uucp' package.
In my LAN there are a desktop pc, a laptop, and the router
the desktop local ip is: 192.168.0.2
the laptop local ip is: 192.168.0.4
Here are the /etc/uucp/config and the /etc/uucp/sys i used on the desktop.
I used the same configuration file on the laptop, but i changed the ip address, the login name and the password, and the system name.
I created a test file on the desktop and i tried retrieving it from the laptop with
I get no error message but the test file isn't in the laptop.
About 20 years ago I did a one-week course on this subject. It is not easy to implement but when working it is vastly superior to the hodgepodge of utilities supplied with current TCP/IP packages.
I don't recall using "uucp" or "cu" over TCP/IP.
We had serial connection to X25 lines, proprietary protocols, and occasional serial-serial connections with a null-modem cable.

The current HP-UX "man uucp" refers you to:

I've never seen the first book but do have a copy of the second book. It is a good book.
If you have an Ethernet connection with TCP/IP protocol between the two computers it is a waste of time pursuing old methods. If for some obscure reason you ONLY have a serial connection using a null-modem cable then there is some reason to pursue the history of unix-unix communications.
How precisely are the two computers connected?
