uupick [ -s system ]
This command is available with the uucp software installation option. Refer to [a manual with the abbreviation INSTALL] for information on how to install optional software.
uuto sends source-files to destination. uuto uses the uucp.1c facility to send files, while it allows the local system to control the file access. A source-file name is a path name on your machine. Destination has the form:
system-name!username
where system-name is taken from a list of system names that uucp knows about (see uucp.1c username is the username of someone on the specified system.
The files (or sub-trees if directories are specified) are sent to the ``public UUCP'' directory on the remote machine system-name. Normally, this directory is /usr/spool/uucppublic. Specifically the files are sent to
PUBDIR/receive/username/mysystem/file
where PUBDIR is the ``public UUCP'' directory on system-name, mysystem is the system from which the files are sent, and file is the file being sent.
The destined recipient is notified by mail.1 of the arrival of files.
uupick accepts or rejects the files transmitted to the user. Specifically, uupick searches the ``public UUCP'' directory on the local machine for files destined for the user. For each entry (file or directory) found, the following message is printed on the standard output:
uupick then reads a line from the standard input to determine the disposition of the file:
In order to send files that begin with a dot (such as, .profile) the files must by qualified with a dot. For example: .profile, .prof*, and .profil? are correct, whereas *prof* and ?profile are incorrect.
