UUTO(1)UUTO(1)NAME
uuto, uupick - system-to-system file copy
SYNOPSISuuto [-mp] file ... destination
uupick [-s system]
DESCRIPTIONuuto
uuto uses uucp(1) to send files to destination. File is a
path name on your machine, which may also be a directory
name. Destination has the form:
system-name!username
where system-name is taken from a list of system names
that uucp knows about (see uucp(1)). Username is the
login name of someone on the specified system.
The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are
sent to the public UUCP directory on the remote machine
system-name. Normally, this directory is
/var/spool/uucppublic. Specifically the files are sent to
PUBDIR/receive/username/mysystem/file
where PUBDIR is the public UUCP directory on system-name,
mysystem is the system from which the files are sent, and
file is the file being sent.
The destined recipient (username) is notified by mail(1)
of the arrival of files.
uupick
uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the
user by uuto. Specifically, uupick searches the public
UUCP directory on the local machine for files sent to the
user. For each entry (file or directory) found, the
following message is printed on the standard output:
from system: [file file-name]|[dir dirname]?
uupick then reads a line from the standard input to
determine the disposition of the file:
<NEWLINE>
Go on 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.

system.
p Print the content of the file.
q Stop.
<CTRL-D>
Same as q.
