NAME
uusend - send a file to a remote host
SYNOPSIS
uusend [ -m mode ] sourcefile sys1!sys2!..!remotefile
DESCRIPTION
Uusend sends a file to a given location on a remote system.
The
system need not be directly connected to the local system,
but a
chain of uucp(1) links needs to connect the two systems.
If the -m option is specified,
the mode of the file on the remote
end will be taken from the octal number given. Otherwise,
the mode
of the input file will be used.
The sourcefile can be
"-", meaning to use the standard input.
Both of these options are primarily intended for internal
use of
uusend.
The remotefile can include the ~userid syntax.
DIAGNOSTICS
If anything goes wrong any further away than the first
system down
the line, you will never hear about it.

BUGS
This command should not exist, since uucp(1) should handle
it.
All systems along the line must
have the uusend command available
and allow remote execution of it.
Some uucp systems have a bug
where binary files cannot be the input
to a uux(1) command. If this bug exists in any system along
the
line, the file will show up severly munged.
