- NAME
- ups - send files to another user
-
- SYNOPSIS
- ups [-i] user[@host] file(s)
- ups
- ups -q
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The first form of the command sends copies of files to
- another user. The specified files are copied into a special
- spool directory until the receiver retrieves them. The
- receiver is notified via _m_a_i_l that the files are waiting.
-
- The receiver of the files is specified by typing his/her
- login id. If you don't know the login id of the receiver,
- type _f_i_n_g_e_r, space, followed by the name of the receiver.
- For example, typing _f_i_n_g_e_r _p_o_l_l_y would give information,
- including login name, for all users named "polly", and
- _f_i_n_g_e_r _p_o_l_l_y@_g_e_n_i_e would give information, including login
- name, for all users named "polly" on the machine "genie".
- If the user you were interested in sending files to had the
- login name "pam" you could send her files using the command:
-
- _u_p_s _p_a_m@_g_e_n_i_e _f_i_l_e_1 ~_c_k_w/_f_i_l_e_2
-
- This command will send the two files to _p_a_m.
-
- The -i flag is used when the user wishes to interactively
- specify their own message to be appended to the mail sent to
- the receiver.
-
- The second form of the command is used to receive the files
- awaiting delivery in the spool directory. The user is shown
- what files are available and asked if he/she wants to accept
- delivery. If the user accepts delivery, all of the files
- are moved into the current directory.
-
- The third form of the command simply tells the user if there
- are any files waiting.
