File transfer using UUCP

Ravindar_1 — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 04:27:25 GMT

I am in a trusted system.I want to tranfer a file from system A to system B using uucp without having an entry of the system -B's nuucp password in System-A(/etc/uucp/Systems file).Do i have to make changes in any of the system file? or are there any command to copy a file without password authentication?.Please send me your suggestions/comments.

I haven't used uucp in over a decade!

You can use scp (part of the ssh install) with .shosts

or you can use rcp with .rhosts entries

When I use uucp, I always have to have a password on System B. But it is the nuucp password. A particular user using uucp does not need a password. just permission in the Permission files. uucp generally guarantees delivery. Unlike Harry, We do have uucp setup to transfer a few files and do some remote commands, because I can control what programs get executed with some assurance that they get executed and files, get transfered with having to do a lot work checking. uucp is little tricky get setup. But not diffcult.

Good
