NAME
tftp - trivial file transfer program
SYNOPSIS
tftp [host ]
DESCRIPTION
tftp is the user interface to the Internet TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), that allows users to
transfer files to and from a remote machine. The remote host can 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 tftp> and recognizes the following commands:
connect host-name [port]
Set the host (and optionally port) for transfers. Note that the TFTP protocol, unlike the
FTP protocol, does not maintain connections between transfers; thus, the connect
command does not actually create a connection, but merely remembers what host is to be
used for transfers. You do not have to use the
connect command; the remote host can
be specified as part of the
get or put commands.
mode transfer-mode
Set the mode for transfers; transfer-mode can be one of
ascii or binary (default is
ascii).
put file
put localfile remotefile
put file1 file2 ... fileN remotedirectory
Put a file or set of files to the specified remote file or directory. The destination can be in
one of two forms: a filename on the remote host if the host has already been specified, or
a string of the form host:filename to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
If the latter form is used, the hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
If the remote-directory form is used, the remote host is assumed to be a UNIX-like
machine.
get filename
get remotename localname
get file1 file2 ... fileN
Get a file or set of files from the specified sources. source can be in one of two forms: a
filename on the remote host if the host has already been specified, or a string of the form
host
:filename to specify both a host and filename at the same time. If the latter form is
used, the last hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
quit Exit tftp. Typing the end-of-file character also causes an exit.
verbose Toggle verbose mode.
trace Toggle packet tracing.
status Show current status.
rexmt retransmission-timeout
Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds.
timeout total-transmission-timeout
Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds.
ascii Shorthand for "mode ascii"
binary Shorthand for "mode binary"
? [command-name...]
Print help information.
WARNINGS
Since there is no user-login or validation within the TFTP protocol, the remote site probably has some sort
of file-access restrictions in place. The exact methods are specific to each site and are therefore difficult to
document here.
