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
