- 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.
