UUSEND(1) BSD General Commands Manual UUSEND(1)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 must to connect the two systems.
Available option:
-m mode The mode of the file on the remote end is 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 ALSOuux(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(1) command. If this bug exists in any system along the line, the
file will show up severely munged.
HISTORY
The uusend command appeared in 4.0BSD.
