uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy
uuto
[ -mp ] source-file...destination
uupick [ -ssystem ]
SUNWbnuu
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
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 following 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.
The following
options are supported by uuto:
- -m
- Send mail to the sender when the copy
is complete.
- -p
- Copy the source file into the spool directory before transmission.
The following option is supported by uupick:
- -s system
- Search only
the
for files sent from system.
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
system-name!system-name!...!system-name!user
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.
See environ(5)

, LC_MESSAGES
, and NLSPATH
.
The
following exit values are returned:

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
