UUCP(1) General Commands Manual UUCP(1) NAME uucp, uulog, uuname - unix-to-unix remote file copy SYNOPSIS uucp [ options ... ] source ... destination uulog [ option ... ] [ system ] uuname [ -l ] DESCRIPTION Uucp copies source files to the destination file or directory. A file name may be an ordinary path name, or may have the form: system-name!filename where system-name is a computer that uucp knows about. Quoted shell metacharacters ?, * and [ ] appearing in a remote filename will be expanded on the remote system. Path names may be: (1) a full path name; (2) a path name preceded by ~user/ where user is a login name on the specified system and is replaced by that user's login directory; (3) a path name preceded by ~/destination where ~ stands for The destination will be treated as a file name unless more than one file is being transferred by this request, the destination is already a directory, or the destination ends with For example, as the destination will make the directory if it does not exist, and put the requested file(s) in that directory. (4) anything else is prefixed by the current directory. If the result is an erroneous path name for the remote system the copy will fail. If the destination is a directory, the basename of the filename is used. Uucp preserves execute permissions across the trans- mission and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)). For obvious security reasons, the domain of remotely accessible files may be severely restricted. You will very likely not be able to fetch files by path name; ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you. Similarly you will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary path names. By default, the only remotely accessi- ble files are those whose names begin (equivalent to The options are -C Copy files in their present state to a spool directory for later transfer. -c Do not copy to the spool directory; send files in their state at the time of transmission (default). -d Make all necessary directories for the file copy (default). -f Do not make intermediate directories for the file copy. -ggrade Grade is a single letter/number; earlier ASCII sequence charac- ters will cause the job to be transmitted earlier during a par- ticular conversation. The default is N. -j Output the job identification ASCII string on the standard out- put. This job identification can be used by uustat to obtain the status or terminate a job. -m Send mail to the requester when the copy is completed. -nuser Notify user on the remote system that a file was sent. -r Don't start the file transfer, just queue the job. -xdebug-level Produce debugging output. The debug_level is a number between 0 and 9; higher numbers give more detailed information. Uulog queries a log file of uucp or uuxqt transactions, optionally lim- ited to a given system. Its options are -f Print recent transactions and follow further transactions as they occur. -x Look in the uuxqt log file for the given system. -number Print the last number transactions. Uuname lists the uucp names of known systems. The -l option returns the local system name. FILES spool directories public directory for receiving and sending other data and program files /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uuxqt/system log of uuxqt transactions with system /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico/system log of uucp transactions with system SEE ALSO uuto(1), mail(1), push(1), rcp(1), uux(1), uustat(1), uucico(8) P. Honeyman, `UUCP--the Program that Wouldn't Go Away', this manual, Volume 2 BUGS For various reasons remote systems may decline to forward files trans- mitted through them. All files received by uucp will be owned by user `uucp'. Option -m works only with a single file. Uucp may run under a daemon userid, in which case files to be sent need general read permission.
