NAME

     uubp -- Unix-to-Unix beer protocol

SYNOPSIS

     uubp [- acefghlqy] site

DESCRIPTION

     Uupb allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented
     grain beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP
     (telecommunications protocol for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes
     beer from a local file system into packets suitable for FTP
     (fermentation transfer protocol) delivery at a remote IP site.

     Example:

         % uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100

     The preceding example sends two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale
     (-c"AMBER") with a fizziness quotient of 70%, brewed using yeast
     of type 0 (saccharo- myces cerevisiae) to IP address
     198.137.240.100, which is the IP address for the White House.

RESTRICTIONS

     Both source and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon. In
     addition, local restrictions exist in many areas for the
     transportation of alcohol across state lines. The Electronic
     Frontier Foundation is currently involved in litigation to ensure
     the ability to distribute beer through the uubp protocol according
     to the 21st Amendment. To support the SIG of EFF devoted to this
     cause, join the Homebrewers of the Electronic Frontier Engaged in
     Winning Electronic Independence and Zeroing Establishment Nonsense
