uucp(1c)							      uucp(1c)

Name
       uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy

Syntax
       uucp [option...] source-file...	destination-file

       uulog [option...]

       uuname [option...]

Description
       The command copies files named by the source-file arguments to the des‐
       tination-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 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 system, 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 inac‐
       cessible to data is copied to a spool directory and the user  is	 noti‐
       fied by

       The  command  preserves execute permissions across the transmission and
       gives 0666 read and write permissions.  For further information, see

Options
       The following options are interpreted by

       -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 when the copy is complete.

       -nrec
	  Sends mail to the recipient.

       -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 to expand local files only.

       The  command prints a summary of and transactions that were recorded in
       the file

       The options cause to print logging information:

       -ssys
	  Displays information about work involving specified system.

       -uuser
	  Displays information about work involving specified user.

       The command lists the uucp names of known systems.

       -l Lists local system name.

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 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.)

Files
       /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
       /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files
       /etc/acucap - shared autodial modem database
