Once
tftp
is running, it issues the prompt
tftp>
and recognizes the following commands:
-tag -width verbose -compact
Cm ? Ar command-name ...
Print help information.
Cm ascii
Shorthand for "mode ascii"
Cm binary
Shorthand for "mode binary"
Cm connect Ar host-name Op Ar port
Set the
host
(and optionally
port )
for transfers.
Note that the
TFTP
protocol, unlike the
FTP
protocol,
does not maintain connections betweeen 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.
Cm get Ar filename
Cm get Ar remotename localname
Cm get Ar 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.
Cm mode Ar transfer-mode
Set the mode for transfers;
transfer-mode
may be one of
ascii
or
binary .
The default is
ascii .
Cm put Ar file
Cm put Ar localfile remotefile
Cm put Ar file1 file2 ... fileN remote-directory
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
hosts: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
machine.
