Mail works because "mail a!b!c!d" generates a "uux a!rmail b!c!d" which trusts that there is an "rmail" program on the remote machine to send it another step along its path. In fact, there is an "rmail" on all versions of UNIX that have uucp (that I know of, anyway). The same arrangements do not exist for file transfer. Berkeley 4BSD systems have something called "uusend" which sends files through multiple machines via, you guessed it, "ruusend" on each intermediate machine. But all of these machines must have ruusend, and their uuxqt must allow it to be executed remotely.
