TIP(1C)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              TIP(1C)



NAME
     tip, cu - connect to a remote system

SYNOPSIS
     tip [ -v ] [ -_s_p_e_e_d ] system-name
     tip [ -v ] [ -_s_p_e_e_d ] phone-number
     cu phone-number [ -t ] [ -s _s_p_e_e_d ] [  -a _a_c_u ] [ -l _l_i_n_e ]
     [ -# ]

DESCRIPTION
     _T_i_p and _c_u establish a full-duplex connection to another
     machine, giving the appearance of being logged in directly
     on the remote cpu.  It goes without saying that you must
     have a login on the machine (or equivalent) to which you
     wish to connect.  The preferred interface is _t_i_p.  The _c_u
     interface is included for those people attached to the
     ``call UNIX'' command of version 7.  This manual page
     describes only _t_i_p.

     Typed characters are normally transmitted directly to the
     remote machine (which does the echoing as well).  A tilde
     (`~') appearing as the first character of a line is an
     escape signal; the following are recognized:

     ~^D ~.    Drop the connection and exit (you may still be
               logged in on the remote machine).

     ~c  [_n_a_m_e]
               Change directory to name (no argument implies
               change to your home directory).

     ~!        Escape to a shell (exiting the shell will return
               you to tip).

     ~>        Copy file from local to remote.  _T_i_p prompts for
               the name of a local file to transmit.
