I use this to tranfer files to panam. --mail sends me mail about the job, nouucico queues the job for later transfer instead of doing it right now. /usr/bin/uucp --mail --nouucico localfile panam\!~/remotefile This makes a copy of the file in /var/spool/uucp/panam/D. and a control file in panam/C. : S /tmp/keep/local/rexx/localfile ~/remotefile rick -Cdm D.003H 0755 You can also add a switch so that just a pointer to the file is used instead of a copy. You might want to do this if the file is large or is likely not to be there when the transfer takes place. I think ~/ is uucppublic on the remote machine. You might run into permission problems with ~user. rick -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
