Command Reference
tftp
Purpose Use the tftp command to upload or download a file through TFTP.
Syntax tftp ip-address { get | sget | put } source-filename [
destination-filename ]
Parameters ip-address
IP address of the TFTP server.
source-filename
Source file name.
destination-filename
Target file name.
get
Downloads the file without protection. In this mode,
the router writes data to the Flash memory during file
transfer, which is somewhat unsafe. For example, if
you specify destination-filename to system, the
new file rewrites the original system file at real time.
The failure of this download attempt will cause
inability of the router to start.
sget
Downloads the file with protection. In this mode, the
router starts writing data to the Flash memory after file
transfer completes. Then the original system file will
not be rewritten even when the download fails, thus
ensuring higher reliability. This method however
requires larger memory.
put
Uploads the file.
Example Download file vrpcfg.cfg from the root directory of the TFTP server at 1.1.254.2 and
save it as vrpcfg.bak.
<3Com> tftp 1.1.254.2 get vrpcfg.cfg flash:/vrpcfg.bak
Upload file vrpcfg.cfg stored under the root directory of the Flash memory onto the
default directory on the TFTP server at 1.1.254.2 and save it as vrpcfg.bak.
<3Com> tftp 1.1.254.2 put flash:/vrpcfg.cfg vrpcfg.bak
