TFTP(1N)                COMMAND REFERENCE                TFTP(1N)



NAME
     tftp - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol client program

SYNOPSIS
     tftp [ t-name ] [ port ]

DESCRIPTION
     Tftp is a program which connects to a server (tftpd(8n))
     which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol on a
     remote host specified by host-name.

     The use of tftp does not require an account or password on
     the remote system.  Due to the lack of authentication
     information, tftpd(8n) will allow only publicly readable
     files to be accessed.  Note that this extends the concept of
     ``public'' to include all users on all hosts that can be
     reached through the network; this may not be appropriate on
     all systems, and its implications should be considered
     before enabling the tftp service.

OPTIONS
     host-name
         This is the name of the remote host you want to connect
         to.

     port
         Use this port instead of the one in services(5n).

EXAMPLES
     Invoke tftp:

          tftp NotHereBox

     If the host NotHereBox is known you will get a prompt for
     further tftp commands.

          tftp>

     Type any of the following commands:

     connect
       Followed by a hostname allows you to initiate a connection
       to another host.

     mode
       Set according the type of data you wish to send. Available
       settings are ascii, binary, and mail

     put
       Followed by a file name will send the file to the remote
       system.

     get
       Followed by a file name will get the named file from the
       remote system.

     quit
       exit tftp

     verbose
       Toggles verbose mode. Gives information about files
       transferred.

     trace
       Toggles on or off generation of a message everytime a
       packet is transferred.

     status
       Shows current status of connection, which mode data is
       sent in, what host you are connected to, etc.

     rexmt
       Followed by a number of seconds value.  Set the per-packet
       retransmission timeout.  Tftp expects an acknowledgement
       after each packet is sent.  This command lets you set how
       many seconds before tftp gives up and retries a packet.

     timeout
       Followed by a number of seconds integer value.  Set the
       total retransmission timeout. When this time is up tftp
       prints out " Transmission Timed Out " and then prompts you
       for another command.

     ? Print out help information.

     Now say you want to send file "myfile" to NotHereBox. If
     "myfile" is a ascii file you do not need to use the mode
     command to change the data transmission mode because the
     default is ascii.

          tftp> put myfile

     Use the quit command to exit tftp.

          tftp> quit


RETURN VALUE
     [0] No errors encountered.

     [1] Errors encountered.

     [3] System socket error

CAVEATS
     This program is known only to be self consistent (i.e. it
     operates with the server TFTP program, tftpd(8n)).

     The search permissions of the directories leading to the
     files accessed are not checked.
