- Too trivial a question to bother the guru with...
-
- When I do:
- cd /tmp
- echo Test > zzz
- uucp zzz cursci\!zzz
-
- it queues a request to copy my /tmp/zzz to cursci's /tmp/zzz - is this
- the expected behaviour? I don't see why it's putting my default current
- directory on the *output* file on another system. The reason it's a problem
- for me is that the remote system is a DOS box running UUPC and what I really
- want to do is:
- uucp zzz cursci\!p:/some/dir/zzz
- i.e. write the output at cursci to a file which isn't on the default drive.
- (I've worked out the uupc runes to allow this I think - PUBDIR=/ PUBDIR=p:/
- in the permissn file)
-
- How do I pass the output file name p:something without it having either
- my local current dir prepended, or the remote pub dir?
-
- Thanks
