Description
The UUCP utility is designed to assist in transferring files, executing remote commands, and sending email between UNIX systems over phone lines and direct connections between systems. The UUCP utility is a primitive and arcane system with many security issues. There are alternate data transfer utilities/products that can be configured to more securely transfer data by providing for authentication, as well as encryption.
