NAME

    uucp, uulog - unix to unix copy

SYNOPSIS

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

    uulog [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

    _U_u_c_p copies files named by the source-file arguments to the
    destination-file argument.  A file name 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 _u_u_c_p knows about.  Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing
    in the pathname part will be expanded on the appropriate
    system.

    Pathnames may be one of

    (1)  a full pathname;

    (2)  a pathname preceded by ~_u_s_e_r; where _u_s_e_r is a userid on
         the specified system and is replaced by that user's
         login directory;

    (3)  anything else is 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.

    _U_u_c_p preserves execute permissions across the transmission
    and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see _c_h_m_o_d(2)).

    The following options are interpreted by _u_u_c_p.

    -d   Make all necessary directories for the file copy.

    -c   Use the source file when copying out rather than copy-
         ing the file to the spool directory.

    -m   Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.

    _U_u_l_o_g maintains a summary log of _u_u_c_p and _u_u_x(1) transac-
    tions in the file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering
    information from partial log files named
    `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'.  It removes the partial log
    files.

    The options cause _u_u_l_o_g to print logging information:

    -s_s_y_s
         Print information about work involving system _s_y_s.

    -u_u_s_e_r
         Print information about work done for the specified
         _u_s_e_r.

FILES

    /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
    /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files

WARNING

    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.

BUGS

    All files received by _u_u_c_p 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.)
