uuto(1)
NAME
  uuto - Copies public files between systems using local file access control

SYNOPSIS
  uuto [-mp] source... user

  The uuto command copies one or more source files from one system to a
  specified user on another system.

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  uuto():  XCU5.0

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS
  -m  Notifies the sender by mail when the copy is complete.

  -p  Copies the source file to the spool directory on the local system.  The
      source file resides in the spooling directory for a set period of time
      (defined in the uusched program) before the uucp command calls the
      uucico daemon, which actually transfers the copy to the public
      directory on the specified remote system.	 The default is to transfer a
      source file directly to the specified user.

DESCRIPTION
  The uuto command calls the uucp command for the actual file transfer, but
  uuto enables the recipient to use the uupick command to handle the
  transferred files on the local system.

  The source argument is the name of the files on the local system, or a
  pathname to the files on the system that runs the command.  The user is a
  specific user ID.  This entry has the following format:

  system!user

  where system is the name of a remote system connected to the local system,
  and user is the login name of the recipient of the transferred files on the
  specified system.

  When copying a file from one user to another user on the local system, omit
  the system entry; the destination is simply the login name of the user to
  whom the file is being sent.

  The uuto command sends files to /usr/spool/uucppublic on the designated
  system; this is a public directory.  The command also creates an additional
  directory called receive (if it does not already exist), plus the directory
  /user/system under receive.  The full pathnames to the copied files are of
  the following form,

  /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/user/system/file

  where user is the login name of the recipient and system is the name of the
  system from which file was copied.

  Once the copied file is in the receive directory, uuto notifies the
  recipient by rmail that the file has arrived.	 The recipient then issues
  the uupick command, which searches the public directory for files sent to
  the specified user ID, displaying the message that file file has arrived
  from system system for each file it locates.	The user then enters one of
  the uupick file-handling options to delete the file, move it to another
  directory, and so on.

NOTES
  The uuto utility is marked LEGACY in XCU Issue 5.

EXAMPLES
   1.  To copy the file /usr/bin/file1 on local system hera to user karen on
       remote system zeus, enter the following:
	    uuto /usr/bin/file1 zeus!karen

       The file /usr/bin/file1 is sent to remote system zeus, and is stored
       there at /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/karen/hera/file1.

   2.  To copy a file to a user on a remote system and receive a message back
       telling you if the source file was successfully copied, enter:
	    uuto -m /usr/bin/file2 zeus!karen

       The file /usr/bin/file2 is sent to the user karen on the remote system
       zeus at the same location as in Example 1, and a message confirming
       that the copy was successful is returned to the sender.

   3.  To copy a file to another user on local system hera, enter:
	    uuto /usr/bin/file3 ron

       The file /usr/bin/file3 is sent to the user ron on the local system,
       and is stored in /usr/spool/uucppublic/receive/ron/hera/file3. No mail
       message is sent to the recipient in a local transfer.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of uuto:

  FLWCTL
      [Tru64 UNIX]  Specifies the flow control used on the connection.
      Permitted values are: HW (hardware), SW (software), HSW (hardware and
      software), and NONE. The uugetty on the remote system must also use the
      same flow control.

  LANG
      Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that
      are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
      from the default locale is used.	If any of the internationalization
      variables contains an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none
      of the variables had been defined.

  LC_ALL
      If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the
      other internationalization variables.

  LC_CTYPE
      Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
      text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
      multibyte characters in arguments and input files).

  LC_MESSAGES
      Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and
      contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

  NLSPATH
      Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of
      LC_MESSAGES.

  UUTIMEOUT
      [Tru64 UNIX]  Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) for uucico to
      try to establish a connection before it times out.  A value of 0 (zero)
      indicates an unlimited amount of time.

FILES
  /usr/spool/uucppublic
      Public directory.
