Re: UUCP connections only when remote is online

uucico DesktopMachine - (2025-05-03 20:58:00.03 14603) Calling system DesktopMachine (port TCP)
uucico DesktopMachine - (2025-05-03 20:58:22.06 14603) ERROR: connect: No route to host

This is a TCP/IP connection initiated by running uucico, the UUCP file
transfer daemon. uucico is usually started by a cron job running at
predefined intervals. It will connect to the target system, transfer all
files in the outgoing queue and download all files waiting on the target
system. If it is unable to connect, all files in the queue will be
preserved for the next run and removed only after a successful transfer.

I was wondering whether UUCP had this functionality.

UUCP was specifically designed for file transfers between systems that
are not permanently online.
