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 fol-
      lowing 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.

      -m    Send mail to the sender when the copy is complete.
 
      -p    Copy the source file into the spool  directory  before

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

            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
