---- __NAME__ tftp - trivial file transfer program __SYNOPSIS__ tftp [[host] __DESCRIPTION__ Tftp is the user interface to the Internet TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. The remote host may be specified on the command line, in which case tftp uses host as the default host for future transfers (see the connect command below). __COMMANDS__ Once tftp is running, it issues the prompt and recognizes the following commands: ? command-name ... 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. An end of file also exits.rexmt retransmission-timeoutSet the per-packet retransmission timeout, in sec-onds.statusShow current status.timeout total-transmission-timeoutSet the total transmission timeout, in seconds.traceToggle packet tracing.verboseToggle verbose mode.__BUGS__ Because there is no user-login or validation within the TFTP protocol, the remote site will probably have some sort of file-access restrictions in place. The exact methods are specific to each site and therefore difficult to document here. __HISTORY__ The tftp command appeared in 4.3 BSD . Linux !NetKit (0.17) August 15, 1999 1 ----
