NAME
tftp - trivial file transfer program
SYNOPSIS
tftp [ -B val ][-s
][-t val ][host [port]]
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).
Note
tftp now conforms to the RFCs: 2347, 2348, and 2349.
Options
tftp supports the following new options:
-B val Set the block size option for data transfer, in octets. See
blksize command for more
information.
-s Set the use of transfer size option. See tsize command for more information.
-t val Set the retransmission timeout option, in seconds. See
newrexmt command for more
information.
Commands
Once
tftp is running, it issues the prompt tftp> and recognizes the following commands:
connect host [ 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.
put localfile [IPv6_address]:remotefile
To invoke the put command with an IPv6 address, the IPv6 address must be enclosed in
a pair of square brackets ([ and ])
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.
get [IPv6_address]:remotename localname
To invoke the get command with an IPv6 address, the IPv6 address must be enclosed in
a pair of square brackets ([ and ])
quit Exit tftp. Typing the end-of-file character also causes an exit.
