UUTO(C) XENIX System V UUTO(C)
Name
uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy
Syntax
uuto [ options ] source-files destination
uupick [ -s system ]
Description
uuto sends source-files to destination. uuto uses the
uucp(C) 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!user
where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp
knows about (see uuname). User is the login name of someone
on the specified system.
Two options are available:
-p Copy the source file into the spool directory before
transmission.
-m Send mail to the sender when the copy is complete.
The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are
sent to /usr/spool/uucppublic on system. Specifically the
files are sent to
/usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/mysystem/files.
The destined recipient is notified by mail(C) of the arrival
of files.
uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the user.
Specifically, uupick searches /usr/spool/uucppublic for
files destined for 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:
<new-line> 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.
a [ dir ] Same as m except 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.
uupick invoked with the -ssystem option will only search
/usr/spool/uucppublic for files sent from system.

Warnings
In order to send files that begin with a dot (e.g.,
.profile) the files must by qualified with a dot. For
example: .profile, .prof*, .profil? are correct; whereas
*prof*, ?profile are incorrect.
