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 receiving

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.
