UUCP stands for Unix to Unix CoPy, and is a computer program and protocol allowing transfer of files, email and netnews between Unix computers not connected to the Internet proper. It is now mostly obsolete. The UUCP package consists of several programs including uucp, uuencode, uudecode, uustat, and uuname.
Usenet traffic was originally carried over the UUCPNET (the network of machines connected through UUCP). Addresses on UUCPNET are separated by exclamation marks, or bangs, hence the term bang path.
