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.
