TFTP(1)                            BSD General Commands Manual                            TFTP(1)

NAME
     tftp - trivial file transfer program

SYNOPSIS
     tftp [host]

DESCRIPTION
     Tftp 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 speci-
     fied on the command line, in which case tftp uses host as the default host for future trans-
     fers (see the connect command below).

COMMANDS
     Once tftp is running, it issues the prompt and recognizes the following commands:

     ? command-name ...
              Print help information.

     ascii    Shorthand for "mode ascii"

     binary   Shorthand for "mode binary"

     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 betwen 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.

     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 hosts: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.

     mode transfer-mode
              Set the mode for transfers; transfer-mode may be one of ascii or binary.  The
              default is ascii.

     put file
     put localfile remotefile
     put file1 file2 ... fileN remote-directory
              Put a file or set of files to the specified remote file or directory.  The destina-
              tion 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 hosts:filename to specify both a
              host and filename at the same time.  If the latter form is used, the hostname spec-
              ified becomes the default for future transfers.  If the remote-directory form is
              used, the remote host is assumed to be a UNIX machine.

     quit     Exit tftp.  An end of file also exits.

     rexmt retransmission-timeout
              Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds.

     status   Show current status.

     timeout total-transmission-timeout
              Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds.

     trace    Toggle packet tracing.

     verbose  Toggle verbose mode.

BUGS
     Because there is no user-login or validation within the TFTP protocol, the remote site will
     probably have some sort of file-access restrictions in place.  The exact methods are spe-
     cific to each site and therefore difficult to document here.

HISTORY
     The tftp command appeared in 4.3BSD.
