How to use UUCP in UNIX

[Sharanya]

Hi all,

UUCP (Unix to Unix Copy) will know that it is mainly responsible for the file from a master copy to another host. But in addition, it also allows the remote host to take some specific action. I want to know that how to use UUCP. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

UUCP allows the remote host to take some specific action. Assume that your machine has access to a host named Swim, and now want it for their own implementation of this print command lpr. May be in their own command line, type the following command, so that the book be printed on the machine in the Swim:

$ Uux-r swim! Lpr! Netguide.dvi

check that and reply.

Another feature of UUCP is allowed by the number of hosts and the file forwarded to the job, as long as the host to collaborate with each other. Now, assume that the cases of the establishment of the host Swim with the a UUCP link, which maintains a large-scale application archive. So, in order to file tripwire-1.0.tar.gz download it to your site, you perform the following command:

$ Uucp-mr swim! ABC ~ / Security/tripwire-1.0.tar.gz trip.tgz

All the best.

For UUCP networks, which currently provides a service that is the most important e-mail and news. E-mail, referred to as E-mail, email, so that we can exchange information directly with the remote host, or letters, rather than to know how to access these hosts. Will be a message from your own site, leading to the target site, the task entirely by e-mail control system to implement. In the UUCP environment, the message transfer usually requires the implementation of an adjacent host rmail command, the message body and the recipient's address passed to it. Subsequently, rmail will e-mail forwarding to another host and so on, until finally arrived at the destination host. All the best.

In the UUCP world, usually starting with requirements of good news groups to collect all the articles, and then sent through a UUCP link. If the number of large, one pass could not finish, then packaged, the transmission is divided into several times. Packaging (compressed) of information sent to the receiving site, by them to implement rnews order to extract the package and other treatment.
Check and reply.

UUCP dial-up connections of many file download sites as a transmission medium. These sites usually allow public access to allow people to download files or software required. Is usually credited to these sites via UUCP to a "Guest" (Guest) logged in, then open the file from the area to download documents required. The Guest account is usually guest or anonymous as the logged-on user name, and then use uucp / nuucp or similar information as the login password to use. All the best.
