Trivial file transfer program.
SYNTAX
+--------+
tftp ---| |---|
+- host -+
DESCRIPTION
The tftp command is the user interface to the Internet TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol), which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote
machine. The remote host may 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: Different implementations of the tftp server impose different user
access restrictions on file transfers, for example, get and put. These
restrictions are determined by the remote host. See "tftpd" for restrictions
on connecting to an AIX server for tftp.
COMMANDS
Once tftp is running, it issues the prompt tftp> k 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 wh a host is to be used for
transfers. You must use the connect command to specify
the remote host.
mode[ascii|binary] Set the mode for transfers. Transfer mode may be one of
ascii or binary. The default is ascii.
put filename
put localfile remotefile

put file1 file2...fileN remote-directory
Put a file or set of files to the specified remote file
or directory. Specify the destination as a directory or
file name on the remote host. If the remote-directory
form is used, the remote host is assumed to be an AIX
system.
get filename
get remotename localname
get file1 file2...fileN
Get a file or set of files from the specified sources.
Specify source as a file name on the remote host.
quit Exit tftp. An end of file also exits.
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.
