WARNINGS
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely
restricted. In most cases, you cannot fetch files by path name from a remote system. Ask a responsible
person on the remote system to send them to you. For the same reasons, you probably cannot send files to
arbitrary path names. As distributed, remotely accessible files are those whose names begin
/var/spool/uucppublic
(equivalent to ˜/).
All files received by
uucp are owned by
uucp.
The
-m option only works when sending files or when receiving a single file. Receiving multiple files
specified by special shell characters ?
, *, and [...] does not activate the -m option.
Protected files and files in protected directories owned by the requester can be sent by
uucp. However, if
the requester is root and the directory is not searchable by
other or the file is not readable by other,
the request fails.
uutry should be executed only with a request file that exists in the directory
/var/spool/uucp/
system_name/.
