Tftp is the user interface to the Internet |
| |
|
14 |
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), which |
| |
|
15 |
allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. |
| |
|
16 |
The remote host may be specified on the command line, in |
| |
|
17 |
which case tftp uses host as the default host for future |
| |
|
18 |
transfers (see the connect command below). |

the following commands: |

Print help information.asciiShorthand for TFTP protocol, unlike the FTP proto-col, does not maintain connections betweeen trans-fers; thus, the connect command does not actuallycreate a connection, but merely remembers what hostis to be used for transfers. You do not have to usethe connect command; the remote host can be speci-fied as part of the get or put commands.get filenameget remotename localnameget file1 file2 ... fileNGet a file or set of files from the specifiedsources. Source can be in one of two forms: a file-name on the remote host, if the host has alreadybeen specified, or a string of the formhosts:filename to specify both a host and filenameat the same time. If the latter form is used, thelast hostname specified becomes the default forfuture transfers.mode transfer-modeSet the mode for transfers; transfer-mode may be oneof ''ascii'' or ''binary''. The default is ''ascii''.put fileput localfile remotefileput file1 file2 ... fileN remote-directoryPut a file or set of files to the specified remotefile or directory. The destination can be in one oftwo forms: a filename on the remote host, if thehost has already been specified, or a string of theform hosts:filename to specify both a host and file-name at the same time. If the latter form is used,the hostname specified becomes the default forfuture transfers. If the remote-directory form isused, the remote host is assumed to be a UNIXmachine.quitExit tftp.

Because there is no user-login or validation within the |
| |
|
31 |
TFTP protocol, the remote site will probably |
| |
|
32 |
have some sort of file-access restrictions in place. The |
| |
|
33 |
exact methods are specific to each site and therefore |
| |
|
34 |
difficult to document here. |
