NAME
uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy
SYNTAX
uucp [option...] source-file... destination-file
uulog [option...]
uuname [option...]
DESCRIPTION
The uucp command copies files named by the source-file argu-
ments to the destination-file argument. A file name either
may be a path name on your machine or may have the form
system-name!pathname
where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names
which uucp knows about. Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing
in the pathname part will be expanded on the appropriate
system.
Pathnames may be a full pathname, a pathname preceded by
~user, where user is a userid on the specified system and is
replaced by that user's login directory, or anything else
prefixed by the current directory.
If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote sys-
tem, the copy will fail. If the destination-file is a
directory, the last part of the source-file name is used.
If a simple ~user destination is inaccessible to uucp, data
is copied to a spool directory and the user is notified by
mail(1).
The uucp command preserves execute permissions across the
transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions. For
further information, see chmod(2).
OPTIONS
The following options are interpreted by uucp.
-d Creates all necessary directories for the file copy.
-c Uses the source file when copying out rather than copying
the file to the spool directory.
-m Sends you mail to the requester when the copy is com-
plete.
-W Expands only local files. Normally files names are
prepended with the current working directory if a full
path is not specified. The -W tells uucp to expand local
files only.
The uulog command prints a summary of uucp and uux transac-
tions that were recorded in the file
UUCP:spool/LOGFILE.
The options cause uulog to print logging information:
-ssys
Displays information about work involving specified sys-
tem.
-uuser
Displays information about work involving specified user.
The uuname command lists the uucp names of known systems.
WARNINGS
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious
security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted.
You will very likely not be able to fetch files by pathname.
Ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them
to you. For the same reasons, you will probably not be able
to send files to arbitrary pathnames.
RESTRICTIONS
All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a
single file. (Receiving multiple files specified by special
shell characters ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
