Acronym for UNIX to UNIX CoPy, an old service used to directly transfer files from one computer to another. It was mostly utilized for mail transport.

Unix to Unix Copy Protocol. Used to copy a file to another computer

This was initially a program run under the Unix operating system that allowed one Unix system to send files to another Unix system via dialup phone lines. Today, the term is more commonly used to describe the large international network, which uses the UUCP protocol to pass news and electronic mail.

A protocol that passes e-mail and news through the Internet. Originally, UUCP allowed UNIX systems to send and receive files over phone lines.

UNIX to UNIX copy. A facility for transferring e-mail and network news in batch form. UUCP is an affordable way for several e-mail accounts to exist under a domain name without using a LAN IP account UUENCODE UNIX to UNIX Encoding. A method for converting files from Binary to ASCII (text) so that they can be sent across the Internet via e-mail.

Acronym for Unix to Unix Copy- a batch-oriented "store and forward" protocol for sending files, mail, and news between UUCP interconnected computers. UUCP hosts are not connected full time. They typically call up once or several times a day to retrieve mail and news, as well as send any queued local mail. UUCP was very popular before widespread Internet connectivity was common. It still is an inexpensive way to handle mail and news.

Abbreviation for Unix-to-Unix Copy. UNIX software that allows email and news messages to be exchanged on a store-and-forward basis between remote computers. Before the rise of the Internet, this was the main way that remote UNIX machines were networked. It is no longer in wide use.

Originally, a program that allowed UNIX systems to transfer files over phone lines. The term now refers to the protocol that passes news and e-mail across the Internet.

An older Unix email addressing protocol still employed in some legacy mail systems.

Abbreviation for "Unix-to-Unix Copy"] A suite of software programs that allow information to be passed between Unix machines using serial connections. UUCP was invented at Bell Labs in the late '70s to allow for the transfer of programs, datafiles and email between Unix machines over standard telephone lines. The Usenet newsgroups grew out of UUCP.

A protocol used for communication between consenting UNIX systems.

nix to nix opy rogram. A networking protocol with less functionality than TCP/IP which is used by Usenet.

A file copying protocol - used for some mailing lists and newsgroups on Usenet

UNIX-to -UNIX Copy. It is a protocol used by UNIX machines to exchange files, such as emails.

Unix to Unix Control Program

UNIX to UNIX Copy Program. A method for transfer of files, mail, and Usenet news between UNIX systems.

Unix-to-Unix copy program refers to a class of signals and procedures that computers can use to exchange data.

UNIX-to-UNIX copy. A facility for copying files between computers using phone lines and modems. Some "Internet" facilities were started using UUCP, such as Usenet.

UNIX to UNIX Copy Program. A suite of programs providing remote file transfer, command execution and mail.

Short for Unix-to-Unix Copy, a Unix utility and protocol that enables one computer to send files to another computer over a direct serial connection or via modems and the telephone system. For most file transfer applications, UUCP has been superseded by other protocols, such as FTP, SMTP and NNTP.

(UNIX-to-UNIX Copy) originally, a UNIX program that permitted file transfer between two UNIX-based PCs via a dial-up connection. The term also refers to a UNIX networking protocol or to a network using that protocol.

Used to build an early, informal network for the transmission of files, e-mail, and Netnews.

Unix-to-Unix CoPy. A method for transferring Usenet postings and e-mail that requires far fewer net resources than TCP/IP, but which can result in considerably slower transfer times.

A UNIX protocol and set of programs most often used to copy files across serial connections and telephone lines. UUCP was often used to transfer e-mail...

Unix-to-Unix Copy Program V W X Y Z

A common communication method for computers that are connected to the Internet only part of the time. UUCP is a very old standard that allows mail messages, Usenet news, and file, to be transferred among computers. UUCP has become less popular in recent years, although many bulletin board systems use it to pass mail.

(UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Protocol) A set of UNIX programs for copying (sending) files between different UNIX systems and for sending commands to be executed on another system.

See: UNIX-to-UNIX CoPy

(Unix to Unix Copy Program) A store-and-forward system, primarily for Unix systems but currently supported on other platforms (e.g. VMS and personal computers).

An acronym for UNIX to UNIX Copy Program, UUCP is a protocol for transferring files, news, and mail, and executing remote commands between machines.

An early transfer protocol for UNIX machines that required having one machine call the other one on the phone.

Originally, the Unix-to-Unix Copy Program: a protocol for Unix computers to exchange files over a dial-up telephone line. In more common use to name the "faking" of an internet connection over an intermittent UUCP link -- thus, a more advanced "store-and-forward" link than FIDO.

Unix to Unix CoPy. UUCP is a small pun on the fact that the Unix copy command is cp. UUCP is a transmission protocol that carries email and news.

UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program: A protocol for communications between UNIX systems, and also a UNIX based network that was closely associated with USENET.

An elderly and creaky (but cheap) mail system still used by many UNIX systems. UUCP stands for UNIX-to-UNIX-copy. UUCP uses mail addresses that contain exclamation points rather than periods between the parts (and they are in reverse order), a method known as bang path addressing. Whenever possible, use regular Internet addresses instead.

UUCP stands for Unix to Unix CoPy. The term generally refers to a suite of computer programs and protocols allowing remote execution of commands and transfer of files, email and netnews between computers. Specifically, uucp is one of the programs in the suite; it provides a user interface for requesting file copy operations.
