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(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
      (see uuname(1C)).  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 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 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 sysname: [file file-name] [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.  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 except moving 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.

      uupick invoked with the -s system option will only search the PUBDIR for
      files sent from system.

NOTES
      In order to send files that begin with a dot (e.g., .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
