rlcarr@athena.mit.edu (the Wizard of Speed and Time) (01/18/90)
I realize I should just ask Matt Dillon about this, but there seems to be a long propgaation delay between he and I, so hopefully someone closer can answer this. OK, I am running AmigaUUCP 1.00D downloaded straight from ucbvax the first day it was up. Everything seems to be working fine except for transferring a files between UNIX and amiga when on the UNIX end. The problem seems to lie in the fact that I can't figure out the correct command line syntax for uucp on my UNIX account. For a prelim, my uulib:Security file on my amiga caontains these 2 lines: tmp: rw uupub: rw Now, ON MY AMIGA I can transfer file to and from the UNIX machine with no difficulties whatsoever. On UNIX, no go since the UNIX uucp constructs an invalid (for Amiga) path, to wit: % uucp foo sauron\!tmp:foo sends up a request to transfer /usr/me/foo to /usr/me/tmp:foo on the amiga. This is bad. % uucp foo sauron\!/tmp:foo requests that /usr/me/foo go to /tmp:foo on the amiga. Also bad. % uucp foo sauron\!/tmp/foo doesn't work either. So - can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what the UNIX uucp syntax should be, or is there no workaround (which I find hard to believe)? advTHANKSance! -- Rich Carreiro - Most Biased Boston Celtics Fan!
