Transfer log

The transfer log contains information pertaining to file transfer. For example, it shows the number of bytes transferred and how long the transfer took. After both uucicos (master and slave) agree on the protocol, the transfer information of each file is written into /var/spool/uucp/.Admin/xferstats. A typical entry is as follows:

sysname user master time prog procID seqnum device trans rate status

where:


sysname
name of remote system

user
user login

master
M=master, S=slave

time
date and time that entry was written to log

prog
C=uucico, U=uucp, X=uux, Q=uuxqt

procID
process ID of uucico, uucp, uux, or uuxqt

seqnum
sequential number for each file transferred in a session

device
device name of media

trans
direction and data bytes/clock time to transfer

rate
transfer rate (bytes/sec)

status
``PARTIAL FILE'' if the file was not completed because of transmission error; "" if the file was transmitted completely

An example entry is:

ihx! peterca M (5/20-6:10:10) (C, 6559 ,1) [DKH] (-> 1024/0.13 secs, 7877 bytes/sec ""

Report statistics of file transfer

By specifying the -s file option with uucp, you can have the statistics of your file transfer reported to file. For each file transfer request, file will contain three lines. For multiple file transfer requests, the size of file increases accordingly. A typical entry is:

header jobID time elapsed
sender filename direction receiver dest login
mesg

where:


header
message header (always the same)

jobID
job ID assigned by uucp

time
date and time the file transfer completed

elapsed
hh:mm:ss of elapsed time between time of creation of queue file and completion of the file transfer

sender
sender node name

filename
source filename

direction
direction (always the same)

receiver
receiver node name

dest
destination directory/filename

login
requester login ID

mesg
a message

An example entry is:

uucp job: mach1N1131 (6/12-13:34:58) (0:0:19)
ihnp1! /n15/user1/liblog -> mach1! ~/peterca (peterca)
