uupick(1) General Commands Manual uupick(1)

NAME

uupick - get files stored in the public directory by uucp -t or uuto.

SYNOPSIS

uupick [-s system] [--system system]

DESCRIPTION

The uupick program is used to conveniently retrieve files transferred by the uuto program.

For each file transferred by uuto, uupick will display the source system, the file name, and whether the name refers to a regular file or a directory. It will then wait for the user to specify an action to take. One of the following commands must be entered:

q

Quit out of uupick.

RETURN

Skip the file.

m [directory]

Move the file or directory to the specified directory. If no directory is specified, the file is moved to the current directory.

a [directory]

Move all files from this system to the specified directory. If no directory is specified, the files are moved to the current directory.

p

List the file on standard output.

d

Delete the file.

! [command]

Execute command as a shell escape.

The -s or --system option may be used to restrict uupick to only present files transferred from a particular system. The uupick program also supports the standard UUCP program options; see uucp(1).
