NAME
       uuto, uupick - public UNIX-to-UNIX system file copy

SYNOPSIS
       uuto [ options ] source-files destination
       uupick [ -s system ]

DESCRIPTION
       Uuto sends source-files to destination.  Uuto uses the uucp(1)
       facility to send files, while it allows the local system to control
       the file access.  A source-file name is a pathname 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 subtrees 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 /usr/spool/uucppublic.
       Specifically the files are sent to

              PUBDIR/receive/user/mysystem/files.

       The destined 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 the standard output:
              from system: [file filename] [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 (current
                       directory is default).  If dir is not specified as a
                       complete pathname (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 moving all the files sent from
                       system.

       p               Print the content of the files.

       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.
