NAME
uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy
SYNTAX
uucp [option...] source-file... destination-file
uulog [option...]
uuname [option...]
DESCRIPTION
The uucp command copies files named by the source-file
argument to the destination-file argument. One of the
arguments is a local path while the other is prefixed with
the remote machine:
uucp fubar system!~/fubar send a file
uucp system!~/fubar fubar request a remote file
~/path is interpreted as UUPUB:path for an Amiga.
~user/path is interpreted as the directory prefix for the specified
user on the machine in question (yours or the remote's). If an Amiga,
the user must exist in the GETTY:PASSWD file. The directory prefix is
part of the PASSWD entry for that user.
~uucp is interpreted just like ~user ... you must have a password entry
for the 'uucp' user for it to work. Remember that a ~/ or ~user/ in
the REMOTE path is interpreted by the remote machine, not your machine.
Additionally, for the amiga, the remote directorie(s) must have
appropriate permissions as specified by UULIB:Security or the transfer
will be disallowed.
Shell metacharacters appearing in the pathname part are not understood
by the amiga as yet, but may be understood by the remote machine if not
an Amiga.
Both pathnames must include the file (i.e. you cannot just specify a
directory with the Amiga, sorry!)
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.
On the amiga, security is accomplished with the UULIB:Security file,
please refer the MAN/Security for more information.
