UUTO(1C) HP-UX 5.0 UUTO(1C) NAME uuto, uupick - public HP-UX-to-HP-UX system file copy SYNOPSIS uuto [ options ] source-files destination uupick [ -s system ] HP-UX COMPATIBILITY Level: HP-UX/STANDARD Origin: System V DESCRIPTION Uuto sends source-files 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!user where system is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows about (see uuname(1C)). Logname is the login name of someone on the specified system. Two options are available: -p Copy the source file into the spool directory immediately, and send the copy. -m Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete. The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to PUBDIR on system, where PUBDIR is the uucp public directory (/usr/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 recipient. Specifically, uupick searches PUBDIR 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: Go on to next entry. d Delete the entry. m [ dir ] Move the entry to named directory dir (current directory is default). Note that, if the current working directory is desired for dir, you should not specify any parameter with m. A construction like m. is erroneous, and results in loss of data. a [ dir ] Same as m except move all the files sent from system. p Print the contents 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 the PUBDIR for files sent from system. FILES PUBDIR /usr/spool/uucppublic public directory NOTES 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. SEE ALSO mail(1), uuclean(1M), uucp(1C), uulog(1C), uuname(1C), uustat(1C), uux(1C).
