Name

uusend − send a file to a remote host

Syntax

uusend [ −m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile

Description

The uusend command sends a file to a given location on a remote system. The system need not be directly connected to the local system, but a chain of uucp(1c) links needs to connect the two systems.

The sourcefile can be “-”, meaning to use the standard input.  Both of these options are primarily intended for internal use of uusend. 

The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax. 

Options

−m mode
Specifies octal number for mode of file on the remote system.  Default is mode of input file.

Restrictions

All systems along the line must have the uusend command available and allow remote execution of it.

Some uucp systems have a restriction where binary files cannot be the input to a uux(1c) command. If this exists in any system along the line, the file will show up severly distorted.

Diagnostics

If anything goes wrong any further away than the first system down the line, you will never hear about it.
