blksize val

Set the block size for data transfer. The client and the server communicate to arrive

upon a block size that is suitable for use on the network medium. The valid range is 8

to 65464 octets. The default value is 512 octets.

newrexmt val

Set the retransmission timeout, in seconds. The client and the server communicate to

arrive upon a retransmission timeout value. The valid range is 1 to 255 seconds. The

default value is 5 seconds.

tsize Toggles the use of transfer size. This option is implemented for binary mode transfers

only. By default, this option is disabled. If this option is enabled, it allows the receiv-

ing side to determine the size of the ﬁle being transferred. When the

get command is

used in binary mode and the size of the ﬁle is greater than the free disk space, transfer

will be aborted immediately. When the

put command is used in binary mode, the size

of the ﬁle will be sent to the server.

? [ 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.
