# uuto(1)

send files to a particular user on a remote system

## NAME

uuto - send files to a particular user on a remote system

## SYNOPSIS

**uuto** files... system!user

## DESCRIPTION

The  **uuto** program may be used to conveniently send files to a particular  user on a remote system. It will arrange for mail to be sent to the remote user  when the files arrive on the remote system,  and he or she may easily retrieve the files using the **uupick** program. Note that  **uuto** does not provide any security--any user on the remote system can examine the files.

The last argument specifies the system and user name to which to send the files.  The other arguments are the files or directories to be sent.

The  **uuto** program is actually just a trivial shell script which invokes the  **uucp** program with the appropriate arguments.

## OPTIONS

Any option which may be given to  **uucp** may also be given to  **uuto.**
