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.
