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:

              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.

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 des-
                    tination 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 destina-
                    tion. 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
