Transferring multiple files to a remote site

You can use uucp to transfer more than one file, specifying the files by name or by using wildcards. To send more than one file, you must specify a directory as the destination, not a file name. To do this, end the destination pathname with a slash (/).

For example, to send the files jan.wks, feb.wks, mar.wks, and memo1.txt, to the directory receive at the north site, type:

uucp *.wks memo1.txt north!~/receive/

The trailing slash (/) shows that receive is a directory.

You can send an entire directory, by specifying the contents of the directory with a wildcard.
