NAME

uusend − send a file to a remote host

SYNOPSIS

uusend [ option ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile

DESCRIPTION

Uusend 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(1) links needs to connect the two systems. 

If you specify the sourcefile as “−”, uusend treats the standard input as the sourcefile.  This flag and the −m flag described below are intended primarily for internal use of uusend. 

The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax. 

OPTION

−m mode
Takes the mode of the file on the remote end from the given octal number. Otherwise, uusend uses the mode of the input file. 

DIAGNOSTICS

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

BUGS

Uucp should make this command unnecessary. 

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

Some uucp systems have a bug that disallows binary files as input to a uux command.  If this bug exists in any system along the line, the file will show up severly munged.
