The UUCP command is meant to copy from one host to another host, exactly
one hop away. The man page is below.

NAME

	UUCP - Unix to Unix Copy Program

SYNTAX

	UUCP [-cCdfjmr] [-g grade] [-n user] [-u user] source dest

DESCRIPTION

	The UUCP command copies a file named by "source" to "dest"; one of
	the two is a local file, the other is on another remote machine.

	For example:

		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 each 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 local directory must have appropriate
	permissions as specified by UULib:Security, or the transfer will not
	be allowed.

	Shell metacharacters appearing in the pathname part are not understood
	by the Amiga, but may be understood by the remote machine.

OPTIONS

	-c
		When specified, this option indicates that a copy of the
		local file should not be placed in the spool directory.

		This is the default for AmigaUUCP.

	-C
		When specified, this option indicates that the UUCP command
		should create a copy of a local file being transferred.
		This copy is placed in the UUSpool directory, where it is
		removed after the transfer is complete. Normally, AmigaUUCP
		does not make a copy of the file, and if the file is
		renamed or removed, the transfer will fail.

	-d
		When specified, this option indicates that all necessary
		directories should be created on the receiving machine by
		the receiving UUCICO.

		This is the default.

	-f
		When specified, this option indicates that if a required
		directory does not exist on the receiving machine, that
		the transfer should be aborted.

	-g grade
		This option controls the priority with which the request
		is executed by UUCICO. Valid grades are 0-9, A-Z, and a-z.
		Files are transferred by UUCICO in that order.

		The default grade for the UUCP command is "A".

		Other commands have other defaults.

	-I config
		This option is for Taylor UUCP compatibility. The option
		is ignored.

	-j
		When specified, the UUCP command will print out the jobid
		of the transfer request. Using the UUSTAT command, the user
		may request that the transfer be cancelled (-k switch).

	-m
		When specified, the remote UUCICO is requested to send
		mail to the transferring user when the transfer is
		complete.

	-n addr
		When specified, the remote UUCICO is requested to send
		mail to the named address when the transfer is complete.
		This address may be different user than the default
		user; and must be a valid address on the remote machine.

	-r
		This option normally means that UUCICO should not be
		started immediately. This is the normal action on the
		Amiga.

	-u user
		This option controls the username specified as sending the
		UUCP request. By default, this comes from the UserName
		configuration variable in UULib:Config.

	-x opts
		This option is for Taylor UUCP compatibility. The 'opts'
		are ignored.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

	NodeName    string

	UserName    string

	UseSubDirs  Y/N

	UUSpool     string

NOTE
	By default, UUCP builds the command file in the UUSpool directory (or
	the alternate that may be specified in the UULib:Config file). To
	have UUCP place files in a separate directory for each system, the
	UseSubDirs configuration option must be set.

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 to UUMan:Security for more information.
