Transferring a file to the local public directory

You may want to put a file in your local public directory so that others can access it there. To specify the public directory in a local pathname, put single quotation marks around the pathname so that the shell does not treat the tilde as your home directory. (For more information on how the shell interprets a tilde in file names, see Characters used in file names.)

Example: To copy that file to your own UUCP public directory, issue:

uucp memo1.pay '~/memo1.pay'
