Hi,

I would like to use a wildcard '*' with uucp as in:

uucp !/directory/* somesystem!/location

However not matter how I quote the * uucp reports that is it unable to
stat the file(s). This is on SCO 5.0.6

I have not problems at all with the file transfers with a specify them
explicitly, anybody got any ideas?


Thanks

Are you sure you dont' mean?
uucp /directory/* somesystem!/location

It's been the better part of 20 years since I did a lot of uucp
other than routing e-mail via uucp.

Typically when one is using commands like scp, commands that use
wild card characters require that you escape these on the local
machine.

scp remote:/somedirectory/\*.conf .
